How is praising Mao antisemitic? And while you're on that point, is there absolutely nothing redeeming about Mao in your opinion? Just curious. I would think you of all people would have some more nuanced thinking on that topic.
Re the dual loyalty trope, is it not significant that (for classical antisemites) Jewish dual loyalty was an accusation, while (for Trump and his supporters) Jewish dual loyalty is a moral imperative?
And what I'm wondering is how much this is about Trump himself, and how much is it about one particular billionaire supporter (Miriam Adelson) of Israel's settlement project, who donated hundreds of millions of dollars to Trump's campaign?

I didn’t say praising mao was antisemitic. I said it was a stupid and ugly thing to do.
Mao is a complicated figure, but he’s also one of the most hideous mass murderers in history. Piker’s comments about him are thoughtless and ugly.

that’s what this piece is about!

one of the points of this piece is that zionism isn’t driven by donors. it’s driven by ideology.
