Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

Is there any concrete evidence of this supposed in-private sudden change of heart other than the grifters around him making the claims?
Nah. The whole thing is suspect but I'm going to go with it because it turns some small segment of the right even more against pissrael and directs their ire at them instead of leftists as the rest of the right is trying to do with his killing.
That said could be true. I mean maybe he was lost in the sauce and truly thought free speech absolutism was necessary on college campuses for his own career and figured he'd just try and sell the zionists on "hey you know what counters a bad guy with speech, a good guy zionist with speech, give me tens of millions of dollars and my org will counter these pro-palestinians on campuses" and the zionists predictably said "nah that will never work, we're going to go with hard suppression but we'll give you a tiny paycheck to continue your original thing". And maybe it wasn't even sincere, maybe he just wanted to hold out on them doing that because he preferred his approach where they pour tens of millions into his pockets over their approach of the heavy hand of government and sobbing about anti-semitism.
