Glad you enjoyed it, Pad. The only place where I think Finkelstein goes off the tracks is his acceptance of the whole "Josiah story." There is no archaeological/historical record of such a king. It's a nice story but it really isn't necessary to the simple exercise in realpolitik which was going on.

Holding out "Josiah" as real is like saying that:

A) Ethelred the Unready
B) Alfred the Great
C) King Arthur
D) Edward the Confessor

all of these are real kings of Britain. Well....one only exists in story books.

Hope your friend's daughter comes to her senses before she wastes her life with such utter horseshit.
