Gaza .. Norman Finkelstein

admin — Wed, 21 Nov 2012 23:24:47 +0000

November 20 2012 It cannot be doubted the turning-point in Israel’s latest murderous rampage. It came when Hamas leader Khaled Meshal taunted Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, Go ahead, attack! At that moment Netanyahu stood exposed in all his nakedness. The bluff had been called. Only the ninth-rate hacks at the New York Times preserved until the last second the fiction that the IDF still stood poised for an offensive. Isabel Kershner, the ex-beautician from Sderot Coiffures, whose only known scholarly work is The [...]

THURSDAY, 17 NOVEMBER 2011 06:07 Though several YouTube clips portray him as a radical, many of Dr. Norman Finkelstein’s ideas and resolutions to the Israel-Palestine conflict are so reasonable that it is no wonder his opponents try to silence and/or discredit him (in fact, an acquaintance of mine complained he wasn’t radical enough!). Speakers can easily be put-down as “extremist” or “anti-Semitic” when their ideas are radically out of the norm. But with Finkelstein these labels go down like a lead [...]
