There is honestly little to zero evidence that he admires or identifies with terrorists... You can state that there is hard evidence that he does, but there just isn't. Might it suggest that he does? Certainly it's not impossible, but to state that it's obvious or a certainty... Is skewed, to say the least.

As for his stance on Israel / Palestine... . I'm far from being a "Palestine supporter" and certainly not a supporter of many of the methods used, or a supporter of the militarised groups within Palestine that would undoubtedly take full control if Israel was not present. However, that's a pragmatic "we're here now so what would actually happen if..." view. I wouldn't want Israel to fall because of the people who would fill the power vacuum. However, taking that out of the equation? I am 100% ideologically opposed to Israel in concept. I think it was an inflammatory mistake, no matter how you look at it.

Being anti-Israel does not alone make one a supporter of Islam or of Terrorism.
