Nah, he’s too self-serving to be IDF.

His consistent subtext is that violent people are actually peaceful and so would-be victims should let their guards down. In this case the violent people for whom he’s running cover are Israelis so his agenda is temporarily aligned with IDF’s, but most of the time he’s trying dishonestly to downplay black violence in America in hopes of increasing his own acceptance among white Americans. He extends the phony public relations effort to brown foreigners sometimes too.
