IT is totally disingenuous for Finkelstein to suggest that it is OUR task to "end the conflict" and he wants it - without violence as well. Let the Palestinians take on that responsibility, by showing good will and thinking and acting in a manner that will inspire the trust of their neighbors and the world. Not until that happens, will there be even the remotest possibility of peace. Just an opinion.....

@Uncle99B I have now upgraded ur condition 2 obsessed, but my gut tells me U r an agent of some kind, a paid antogist. U've hit about a dozen channels in the last 24 hrs. Did some Jewish kid get the best of U in some type of endeavor? Ur girlfriend dumped U b/c the Jewboy was longer, fatter, and richer? Cheer up man, maybe she wasn't meant for U. We can't always get what we want, dude. Man up! U'll probably need a set of instructions for that last command though 4 most of us it comes naturally.

The difference between Israel and S Africa is that S Africa did not have millions of fifth columnists within the USA who had taken over the US Congress, the mass media, Wall Street, and the Justice system.

Awww! I really like Dr. Finkelstein, but I have to say that he looks hilarious and quite uncomfortable with that piece he's wearing.
