He's got a point. Israeli hypocrisy towards the Palestinians is monumental. As for him personally? You can't be a pussy and deliver that message to that audience.
It would have helped to know what his speech was about.

Norman Finkelstein is JEWISH? Wow. Next you'll tell me that the fucking pope is catholic.
I mean...who would have guessed?
I've seen credible estimates between 4 and 7 million and all of these numbers are estimates based on the "estimated" number of jews who lived in Europe before and the "estimated" number who were there after.
Sometimes the word "estimate" is a problem in and of itself.

I have to agree with his point that the Holocaust and the Israeli persecution of Palestinians are two different things, and you can't excuse what Israel is doing by pulling the Holocaust card.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

There are shitheads out there who have written books about ancient aliens building the pyramids, too. So what? A degree in electrical engineering does not make him a historian.
BTW, my father's worst memory of WWII - and he had a few of them - was entering a small concentration camp in Austria in 1945. It was real enough.
