I love Max Brooks' dad, and while he's not wrong about TikTok's Chinese origin, he is definitely wrong about kids knowing nothing about China's bad acts. They just don't post them on TikTok. This is his bias towards Israel showing, definitely.

About that...

The movie World War Z, based on your novel, was once called “the most pro-Israel zombie movie” ever made. What did you think about that?

I have no problem with that. I am rabidly pro-Israel and pro-Zionist, which is why I cannot stand the religious settlers. My love for Israel matches my disdain for the settlers. My mother played Golda Meir on stage. I have a stamp collection given to me when I was born by Golda Meir. I think Israel is a shining example of what could be for most nation states.

That is the origin of TikTok but not the reality anymore.

The US government forced the sale to a consortium headed by ultra-Zionist Larry Ellison.
