Enjoyed your article and the first thing that comes to mind about Rod is that he lost one sponsor but had a significant following and was able to get some Zionist sponsorship. I haven't read his stuff and I'm not going to but from your description and excerpts, they seem to be the exact Zionist talking points I see everywhere else. If that's the case, it's an easy gig for him, they pretty much give him copy to include and write around. It's part of israel's well funded Hasbara campaign. As long as you have a large enough following and agree to their terms, you can get paid.
Hasbara is easy to take apart, they just accuse everyone else, esp Palestinians of everything they are doing.
I wouldn't call Hamas religious extremists, just religious, as opposed to Popular Front for Palestinain Liberation, which has a Socialist base( though there are Muslim members)
Anyway, this was fun to read for his weirdness but his Zionism is just too predictable. It's an easy and lucrative side to be on especially if you have no conscience.
