But in the end it was indeed malicious intent. The guy supports Hamas.

I probably spent too much time during the pandemic talking with anti-vaxxers (nothing else to do), so I guess now I can pick up on this pattern of behaviour from the "I did my own research on the internet" crowd. Someone states indisputable facts, then the people that are pushing false narratives will make insinuations about how it's somehow wrong to do this. Not overt challenging the facts (because it's indisputable) But just how it's inappropriate somehow. Appeal to civility politics sort of thing.

In the end, it's not the tone or the presentation of the facts that bother this kind of person. It's someone presenting any kind of fact at all that's bothersome to the narrative brained crowd. This guy wants to support Hamas and the evil acts of Hamas are an inconvenience to the narrative he wants to believe in.

Same goes for those that wanted to believe the pandemic wasn't real, same goes for those that want to believe Trump is a great and moral leader. It's an inability to separate the facts of the real world with the narrative they want to believe about the world.
