The Rabbi is very nice decent man but after watching him over the last few months seems to be a bit of a wokster. But as always you are so careful and thoughtful in presenting this very complicated issue. My guess is that he like many aligned with the progressive left are struggling to acknowledge their silence. Your using the word insidious to describe the activities of the extreme left is necessary and I hope the Rabbi will think carefully about what that means and what he must now do.
I'm a more generous to him. He's questioning, and is willing to listen to someone who brings up things differently. Initially, the first questions will be in the jargon he's used to and has up to this point assumed was the best way to talk about these topics, but he was sincere in his questions and committed to justice. A wokester would have reacted to Weiss' commentary with hostility, but he was interested and showed willingness to be challenged.
Think of it this way: we're all coming at the truth from a different direction. Someone who starts on one side of the issue is going to be different from someone coming at the issue from the opposite side, but they're still converging on the same point. I found his questions and attitude encouraging.
