He rejects antisemitism, praises Jewish friends, and insists loving Israel doesn’t require endorsing territorial expansion — comparing it to wanting England safe without seeking to control India. Casablancas argues the real problem lies in the push for a “greater Israel” and a “greater America,” and laments how blurred public discourse prevents meaningful progress on peace and justice.
