Norman Finkelstein - Is Jimmy Carter Anti-Semitic? 5 of 5

[vomitoff]

to attack someone's arguments by questioning his character is the most flawed type of reasoning imaginable. it means youre a cockless piece of shit.

[rarosera]

Where is the rest of it? it just cuts off midsentence!

[alecrebel]

Finkelstein is a scholar and a gentleman. I wish him well and hope he will prevail in the end against the sociopathic prozionist riff raff à la Dershowitz. One speaking the truth usually does ...

[fagbert]

Kurtlane, you ask why he enjoys such support.

Simple: because the facts are all on his side. And this is all that matters.

THE END.

[happyinnanaimo]

Kurtlane, instead of attacking the man, why don't you talk about his ideas. His lecture, to me, seems pretty straight forward and hard to dispute. Perhaps you can enlighten all of us by discussing the issues.

@happyinnanaimo

I second that! Like many zionists, Kurtlane is off the wall ... The referent is international law and Israel is culpable on many counts. Moreover, right-wing factions within Israel such as that of "Bibi the Thug" do not want peace and try to grab every bit of palestinian land they can. Meanwhile, their mouthpieces in the US, Canada and Europe scream "holocaust" and "antisemitism" at every turn while the IDF incinerates civilians. The BS is sickening and mindboggling!

[Kurtlane]

This is from yahasiff (all the credit to him), and it's so true, it has to be repeated:

"I must admit it is amazing that Finkelstein hasn't received tenure [at DePaul University]. I mean, he hates Israel and he blames the USA for every problem on Earth. What more do they want?? Jeesh."

[Kurtlane]

Norman Finkelstein. Habitual liar, attention seeker, and the filthiest professor of all. Speculates on the memory of his parents (who lived through the Holocaust) everywhere he can. Has been fired by Brooklyn College, N.Y.U., and several other schools for incompetence, mental instability, and abuse of students.

[Kurtlane]

Peter Novick (University of Chicago): "many of [Finkelstein's] assertions are pure invention. ... No facts alleged by Finkelstein should be assumed to be really facts, no quotation in his book should be assumed to be accurate, without taking the time to carefully compare his claims with the sources he cites"

(cont.)

[Kurtlane]

Prof. Omer Bartov (an authority on genocide) called "The Holocaust Industry" "a novel variation on the anti-Semitic forgery, 'The Protocols of the Elders of Zion' ... brimming with indifference to historical facts, inner contradictions, strident politics ... indecent ... juvenile, self-righteous, arrogant and stupid"

When Finkelstein spoke at Yale on Nov. 10, 2005, he said, "In academia, you can say anything as long as it is footnoted."

(cont.)

[Kurtlane]

From his April 28, 2005 lecture at University of Buffalo: "...the protagonist in the novel, Exodus, was named 'Ari', which is short for 'Aryan' - an example of the Jew's true intent and Jewish racism. It is the whole admiration for this blond haired, blue eyed type." (Total nonsense. Ari is short for 'Ariel', from Aryeh - Hebrew for lion.) In the same lecture said, "In the last fifteen years, there has not been a single death attributed to anti-Semitism in Europe" (Another nonsense)

[Kurtlane]

Praised David Irving as "a good historian!" and as having "made an indispensable contribution to our knowledge of World War II."

Finkelstein often seems to be reasonable. He talks about the way "we reasonable and rational people" think. However, people who claim to be reasonable and rational, and even seem to be, aren't necessarily that way.

(cont.)

[Kurtlane]

He called Dean Elana Kagan of the Harvard Law School "an Eichmann-like bureaucrat," then added, "Were my mother still around, ... she would have taken the first train to Cambridge and - just as she did with the Nazi guards from Maidanek when confronting them at the postwar trial in Dusseldorf in 1979 - called Kagan a whore to her face and then throttled her."

(cont)

[Kurtlane]

Another example is the mud-slinging fight into which he dragged Alan Dershowitz. First he called Alan Dershowitz "Adolf Eichmann" and accused him of expressing "Nazi moral judgments." Later he commissioned cartoonist Latuff to make a cartoon published on the Website indybay. The cartoon, titled "Dershowitz Hard at Work," shows Dershowitz at an "Israel peep show" masturbating with a rapturous look on his face as he views live film from Beirut of dead Lebanese.

(cont.)

[Kurtlane]

It was accompanied by an article written by Finkelstein titled "Should Alan Dershowitz target himself for assassination?"

This is not the worst of Finkelstein. The worst is his support for Hezbullah. But it should be enough. So how come he still enjoys such credibility and support after this?

[Kurtlane]

A few more things about Finkelstein:

He is a popular speaker among German neo-Nazis. Ingrid Rimland (wife of Ernst Zuendel) referred to him admiringly as the "Jewish David Irving"

In return, he praised David Irving as "a good historian!" and as having "made an indispensable contribution to our knowledge of World War II."

He has been fired by Brooklyn College, N.Y.U., and several other schools for incompetence, mental instability, and abuse of students.

[Kurtlane]

Finkelstein is not irrational, nor is he necessarily hateful. He is like a spokesman for a tobacco company who denies that smoking is harmful because his money and fame depend on it. He has found a pretty niche for himself, a sinecure, where he can make his money and earn prestige among the naive, leftist, and Jew-hating by demonizing his own people or attacking the only Jewish country. And always covers himself with "I am Jewish myself" and "my parents went through Holocaust."

[Kurtlane]

My hunch is that Finkelstein doesn't hate Zionism at all. He's all pretence, and he's making money and fame. In a weird way, Zionism is feeding him.

"[Finkelstein is] poison, he's a disgusting self-hating Jew, he's something you find under a rock." - Leon Wieseltier

[zafthedon]

incredible

[grage]

finkelstein is a man of integrity. What an Honest man!

[JoeStunner]

This is basically the same lecture Finkelstein often gives, a version of which is available on YouTube in its entirity. (Forget the exact title, but do a seach and you'll find it.)

[juliaisafilmbuff]

WHERE THE HELL IS THE REST OF THIS??????

Great lecture.

[Kurtlane]

Is Jimmy Carter antisemitic?

Is the Pope Catholic?

[dildil6969]

Did they dearly dearly love Jimmy Carter in Isreal when he was the President?

Did the Isrealis love an antisemetic president?

Are Chomsky, Finkelstein, and Tony Judt antisematic?

Is every ant, bee, dog, fox, lizard, lice, bacteria, fungi, ameoba antisematic in this world?

[fearnoevilexceptbush]

Are you stupid?

[noblepanda]

Palestinians shoot them selves in the foot with every terrorist bombing, If they had a non violent Gandhi to lead them, Palestine would be a free country in under 10 years.

[Normannisch88]

The zionist jewish supremacists will never give up one square inch of the occupied land. In fact it is well known to anybody with half a brain and who has been paying attention, that the extremists in Israel would love nothing more that expanding to the biblical borders. Why do you think we are in Iraq ? Now they are propagandizing for war with Iran. Israel is a psychotic nation bent on total supremacy in the region and from all discernible facts, the rest of the world as well. Hitler was right.

[guillaumepirard]

your last statement tells enough.

it is sad but so predictable that mr.finkelstein's views would appeal not only to open-minded people in search of facts,but also to antisemitic scum.if the arab world would present as many brillant scholars,or let them speak,no doubt they would also carry their load of admiring islamophobes.

your idiocy just gives amunitions to those of your kind on the other side.

[abuyusuf]

it would never work against israelis, who have a very strong US back, propaganda machine and they would not hesitate killing those peacefull protesters...if there were a Gandhi he would be dead within 10 days...forget 10 years!

[9valkyrie]

There is something missing.

Was it not recorded? A pity.

But nevertheless:

Finkelstein for President!

[beezyDAboss]

Part 6?

[macthepak]

[danbarn4472]

This exactly what I was thinking at this very moment. I second this motion wholeheartedly!
