Norman Finkelstein- How to Solve the Israel-Palestine Conflict

Spent the day with Professor Norman Finkelstein, attended and filmed his talk which was delivered to the students at University of Birmingham. Hosted by Friends of Palestine Society and we were met outside with a number of Zionists who were unhappy about Finkelstein's presence. All in all the talk was well received although the Jewish Society on campus were unhappy about Finkelstein's mention of Iran and Israel.

Spending a day With Norman Finkelstein would be awesome! Though I don't think I'd make for much of a conversation partner, and it would probably go stale rather quickly. It wouldn't be so bad perhaps on a march or protest of some sort. Brilliant scholar who presents facts clearly and concisely and doesn't rely on rhetoric but facts to make his points.

@LibnanGR Believe me if you ever have the pleasure of sitting down and speaking with him which I and friends did- he is awesome, absolutely hilarious and very attentive. He wanted to know everything about us and how the Friends of Palestine Society was run here at Birmingham University which he commended them for.

Wow you spent an entire with the professor?! How extravagant! I only have two or three with the professors, and they're in the bank. O_O

Had a pleasure of exchanging a few emails with him. Like getting page numbers for some quotes. Try yourself if you wish.
