“Nobody really defends Israel anymore,” he said in an interview. “If you go on college campuses, there are some Hillel faithfuls who are bringing an IDF soldier to try to explain that not all IDF soldiers are war criminals. And among the 60 to 100 people in the audience, there are Palestinian supporters who come with tape over their mouth, and when the soldier starts to speak, many people stand up and walk out.

more from that Iranian Shill?

What's it to you conrad? What is your interest in defending Israel? Are you paid to do it?

as long as people are around bashing Israel,I'll defend it!
Pretty low blow,though,asking if I were paid to do it!

what is the difference between 'bashing' and pointing out fallibility?


I mean, personally, I see those who never see anything right with 'Israel' as being just as delusional as those who can never admit anything wrong with 'Israel'

read Finkelstein!
Had Parents who perished in the Holocaust,yet he makes light of it!
He is NUTZ!

He defends Palestinians

Do you defend Palestinians Conrad?

So if someone points to news that is not flattering to Israel you call it bashing? Whatever happened to freedom of the press? Are you one of those people who would rather cover up the truth then to have it be known?

Israel is not so innocent as you would like to believe. The truth will be known about them in spite of people who attempt to 'defend' them.

Truth is truth.

Truth is truth. I don't care what it is. Let it be known.

yep,but their Leaders are Utter Crap!

And,BTW,there are no such People as Palestinians!

Arab leader Auni Bey Abdul-Hadi told the Peel Commission in 1937: "There is no such country as 'Palestine'; 'Palestine' is a term the Zionists invented!"
In 1946, Arab historian Philip Hitti testified before the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry that "there is no such thing as Palestine in history.”
In 1947, Arab leaders protesting the UN partition plan argued that Palestine was part of Syria and “politically, the Arabs of Palestine (were) not (an) independent separate … political entity.”
An executive committee member of the PLO Zahir Muhsein confirmed that there is no such thing as a separate “palestinian” people of Arab descent. In an interview with the Dutch newspaper Trouw in March 31, 1977, he stated the following:
"The palestinian people do not exist. The creation of a palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. “


You,and their Own People have been had by a Bunch of cynical Thugs!

nobody here knows what the "truth" is. unless you live there, don't sit there and say "this is the truth". you Israeli haters get your information from the same places everyone else does, and nobody that doesn't live there knows anything about the truth...

If you don't shape up I am going to send you to military school with that Finkelstein chit kid son of a b!tch.......

Norman Finkelstein is another rabid Israel-hating ideologue who has
cynically exploited the tragedy of his parents in a publicity stunt
career trading in Israel-bashing!



No wonder you love Finkelstein! Have you ever read his nonsense?
It is laughably ridiculous! He's been kicked out everywhere he has
tried to shamefully peddle it! His only supporters are the Israel
haters!


I've read his ignorant propaganda and it has no merit except as a mechanism to
bring pornographic attention to Norman Finkelstein!

He's made a career out of being controversial and coming up with
cockamamie anti-Israel conspiracy theories and discredited innuendo.



He's been kicked out of every college, coffee shop and street
corner where he has tried to peddle Finkelstein-inanity. The man
is a joke - in poor taste at that.

I don't think he should be allowed into dog-catcher remedial
training class much less a civilized free country he hates like
Israel.

From the New York Times article on his latest rejection of
academic tenure at DePaul:

=-=-=-=

Norman Finkelstein, the political scientist whose bid for a permanent position at DePaul University stirred up charges of anti-Semitism, personal vendettas and outside interference in the hiring process, was informed Friday that he had been denied tenure by the university....

In a letter to Mr. Finkelstein, Father Holtschneider wrote that Mr. Finkelstein is an excellent teacher and a nationally recognized public intellectual but does not “honor the obligation” to “respect and defend the free inquiry of associates.”

In a statement Father Holtschneider said the outside attention paid to Mr. Finkelstein’s bid for tenure “was unwelcome and inappropriate and had no impact on either the process or the outcome of this case.” He added: “Some will consider this decision in the context of academic freedom. In fact academic freedom is alive and well at DePaul.”

=-=-=-=-=

In other words, Finkelstein is an amusing lecturer but writes Pro-Palestian and Anti-Israel propaganda rather than real material of scholarship that is based on factual analysis and objective investigation. All Finkelstein's work appears to be
biased anti-Israel propaganda.



I am glad to hear that Norman is finally giving up Israel-bashing but
I will only believe it when I see him publicly repudiating his earlier writings and acknowledging that he admits that all
his claims about a "Holocaust industry" were just speculation and
have no basis in fact...

The only Holocaust industry is Norman Finkelstein's own abuse of
the real history of this event to try to profit off of it himself
through distortions and misrepresentations of the real history and
disputation and argument with true scholarship which of course
contradicts virtually every one of Finkelstein's unsupported
claims!

Norman Finkelstein exposed a Joan Peters Book called From Time Immemorial as a fraudulent work and he has paid a heavy price ever since.

Norman Finkelstein never did anything other than promote Norman
Finkelstein by fabricating anti-Israel propaganda and creating his
very own Holocaust industry in complete disagreement with real
historical evidence.



But I am glad he is finally through with his acknowledged irrational and self-agrandizing Israel-bashing.

The Fate of an Honest Intellectual
Noam Chomsky

This is worth a Reading ...another American Jew of course.

http://www.chomsky.info/books/power01.htm

another Stinkelsteen!

The British have a sense of Justice.


Well, as soon as I heard that the book was going to come out in England, I immediately sent copies of Finkelstein's work to a number of British scholars and journalists who are interested in the Middle East—and they were ready. As soon as the book appeared, it was just demolished, it was blown out of the water. Every major journal, the Times Literary Supplement, the London Review, the Observer, everybody had a review saying, this doesn't even reach the level of nonsense, of idiocy. A lot of the criticism used Finkelstein's work without any acknowledgment, I should say—but about the kindest word anybody said about the book was "ludicrous," or "preposterous."

I am glad to see SO MANY American Jews who know what's what in the criminal Zionist network, and they are letting the truth be known.

Chomsky’s War Against Israel

Paul Bogdanor

In Noam Chomsky’s books, essays and public campaigns stretching back for decades, one theme is constant: his portrayal of the state of Israel as the focus of evil in the Middle East, a malevolent outlaw whose only redeeming feature is the readiness of its own left-wing intelligentsia to expose its uniquely horrifying depravity. His efforts began in the 1970s with the short polemic, Peace in the Middle East?, in which he argued that the country should be replaced by a binational socialist regime; they escalated in the 1980s with his lengthier works, Fateful Triangle and Pirates and Emperors, which portrayed Israel as a terrorist state with “points of similarity” to Nazi Germany; and they culminated in his most recent collection of diatribes, Middle East Illusions, in which he continues to present Israel as the main obstacle to peace in the region, in the midst of horrible war crimes against Israeli civilians.1 Dozens of publications, lectures and interviews contain further symptoms of Chomsky’s fixation upon the Jewish state. However, as we shall see, his polemics on the Arab-Israeli conflict bear the hallmarks of his intellectual repertoire – massive falsification of facts, evidence, sources and statistics, conducted in the service of a bigoted and extremist ideological agenda.
Abolishing Israel

Central to Chomsky’s position is the idea that Israel should cease to exist in its present form. This view is set out in his earliest writings on the subject....
