Solzhenitsyn's The Gulag Archipelago is one of the core works he uses in his lecturers so asking a question about other Solzhenitsyn's book is not inappropriate, IMO. I don't think that the question was provocative. Maybe the questioner was just trying to address one of the Peterson's blind spots?
Well, in my opinion there is little doubt that the questioner was trying to be provocative. I mean, what kind of answer did he expect to such a loaded question, especially when knowing how careful Peterson is?
Having said that, I agree that "Jewish", or "Israeli" issue to be exact appears to be JP's blind spot. Here, take a look at the following talk. To be honest, in comparison to his other insightful talks, what he says in the video is like he is talking from his behind. Excuse the crude comparison. But it is that disappointing, unfortunately. Have no idea why is that, but maybe it has to do with his admiration for the Jewish IQ level (in the second video).
