Just got a note from a Saudi friend that Norman Finkelstein will be speaking in Bahrain on Monday and Tuesday nights, the 26th and 27th. Monday night at 8 p.m. at the Diplomat Hotel, on "Defeating the Palestinian Peace Offensive: the real motive behind Israel's massacre in Gaza." And on Tuesday night at the Shaikh Isa Cultural Center, on How much power does the Israel lobby have? These events are not on Finkelstein's speaking engagements notice at his website, but the source of my note seems good, the chairman of a Bahrain hospital. Let us bring our worlds together!

    You said that on the last thread, to which it was equally irrelevant, but there you called yourself 'Gary'. Having a one track mind does not make you any less of a spammer.

    Has Finkelstein been reduced to preaching to the choir? I wonder how many speaking engagements, unpublished of course, he is holding for the IHR, StormFront, and other loathesome organizations?

    How can people utter such nonsense.

    Find one inkling of proof that Finkelstein would ever be associated with that crowd. And don't bring up the endorsements of his books by known morons.

    Tell us what there is about his arguments and question the facts, that would incline us to at the very least consider him being a part of those crowds.

    Neo-Nazis For Israel? – by Max Blumenthal

    While much of the neo-Nazi fringe remains opposed to the existence of Israel, the whites-only British National Party recently declared its full-throated support for Israel's attack on Gaza. The shelling of Gaza City by Israeli forces has brought joy to the heart of BNP head of legal affairs Lee Barnes: "This sort of 'disinfecting' process whereby Israel is required to sterilise areas of radical Islamist support … is what all nations have to do in order to eradicate Islamist cells who have managed to take over territory either within or on the edges of their borders," Barnes wrote on his blog on January 4……

    yeah, well, a little bird told me that Lee Barnes is a universally loathed media whore, and that the BNP is sort of sinking like a stone. Maybe some jewish 'philanthropist' will consent to revive it.
