Good on Max for calling Brad on his snide attack on someone earnest thorough and decent (Norman Finkelstein) who has been continually subjected to vicious attacks from some very wicked people for talking truth in public on a subject that here in New York City you have to be very brave to do (I was reading reading Gertrude Stein last week and it has not worn off yet).
I guessed Max was kidding about different standards for permitted discourse for jews and gentiles and therefore about the whole exchange and if he wasn't then he is being an idiot but it is much more likely that he is joking.
