I agree with you that I don't look to Lewis for his take on geopolitics. However, I think you just have to accept that in the body politic there are many people (a majority in all likelihood) who have a say in their democracies but don't concern themselves with situations such as Israel-Palestine.
Lewis has the attention of these people, and he feels he's doing the right thing by bringing attention to the plight of innocent civilians in the region. If his post has inspired at least one person to be more aware and sympathetic to the human suffering, then hasn't it been worth the effort?
