This Arab-American-Muslim dude

I watched a report on AlJazeera about Sen. Kennedy. They interviewed this guy (I don't know who he is): a certain Khalid Saffuri. He told AlJazeera that Sen. Kennedy started as very pro-Israeli but that he became even handed (he used the word "centrist") later in life. Is this guy a resident of this planet? When did Sen. Kennedy ever change his views on the Middle East, unless Mr. Saffuri received a report about a political transformation of Sen. Kennedy after his death. Sen. Kennedy never ever met an Israel war, invasion, occupation, assassination, or massacre that he did not wholeheartedly endorse.
