CHICAGO — An ousted American political science professor who believes some Jews have exploited the legacy of the Holocaust recently expressed his support for the terrorist organization Hezbollah.
Norman Finkelstein, who resigned from DePaul University last fall amid criticism of his opinions on the Holocaust, told Lebanese television that his view of Hezbollah is "rarely heard" in the United States.
"I have no problem saying that I do want to express solidarity with them, and I'm not going to be a coward and a hypocrite about it," Finkelstein told Future TV. "I don't care about Hezbollah as a political organization. I don't know much about their politics.
Hezbollah, funded by Iran and Syria, engages in terror operations worldwide. President Bush and other U.S. leaders view the organization as an opposing force to peace in the Middle East, and it is listed by the U.S. State Department as a foreign terrorist organization.
Finkelstein’s support for Hezbollah would be illegal if he were helping raise funds for the organization, said Richard Miniter, a terrorism analyst with the Hudson Institute.
“If terrorists are able to use his name to fundraise in any way, that would be illegal,” said Miniter, who added that only Al Qaeda has killed more Americans than Hezbollah.

This POS should make a visit to each of the Marine’s friends and family who died in 1983. I would personally like to give him a history lesson. Low life scumbag!
Ping.
Another self-hating liberal Jew.
Finkelstein is a traitor and a self-hating POS.
Yes yes,
Sounds like some of the “intellectual” professors I had back in 1991 at UofM.
I had a sociology professor declare Christians as crazy stupid radical idiots. A gay accounting professor who made it clear he was gay in every class, every day, in every lecture.........
Our colleges and universities are oozing with these types. They tend to attract the people who can’t really make it in the private sector or who want to rather live in a theoretical metaphysical world unattached from reality. It’s sad, but those who should be the instructors, the mature and educated teaching our youth are more like those they should be teaching, and often create an environment where immature and irresponsible behavior is condoned, under the auspice of intellectual and expressive freedom of course.
Our universities have gone to the dogs. I hate to think what that bodes for the future of American civilization.

Now he outted himself as just another leftist Abnormal Fink.
“You’re right. Sounds like an Obama voter.”
Sounds like the reincarnation of Bobby Fisher
That is their flag?!? Maybe my mind’s twisted, but at first glance, from left to right, I saw:
a rabbit head
an, um, well, erect, shall we say, phallic symbol
(can I write that without getting banned?)
a fist holding a machine gun
LOL! You’ve spoiled their flag for me (not that I held it in esteem anyway) but before I only really saw the AK now I see the aforementioned symbol next to the rabbit head. It’s all I’ll ever see when I look at their flag.
So your moniker is apt, Eyes Unclouded!
Already we have cab drivers who will not pick up single women, dentists who will not work on women not wearing a scarf, and pharmacists refusing birth control pills to customers. Just wait till Obama takes over.
Londonistan
Natan Sharansky
“Melanie Phillips’s Londonistan is a last-minute warning for Britain and for much of the free world ... This book is powerful and frightening, but also courageous. In dictatorships, you need courage to fight evil; in the free world, you need courage to see the evil.” Natan Sharansky —This text refers to the Paperback edition.
Amir Taheri
In this groundbreaking study, Melanie Phillips shows how Britain’s imperial policy of “benign neglect” towards radical Islamist groups in the 1980s and 1990s came close to malign complicity in the activities of some of the most determined terrorist organizations ever to emerge in Europe. —This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Exceptionally Illuminating, February 25, 2006
By Kat Bakhu (Albuquerque, NM United States) - See all my reviews
I bought this book hoping to get a better understanding of what was going on in Europe with their Muslim immigrant population (things like the car-burning riots in Paris, areas of Netherlands ruled by Sharia and not Dutch law, etc., left me quizzical). Well, I got that understanding. And I got a lot more, not the least are vital insights as to just how very different Europe is from the US. The author is both a clear writer, and an excellent journalist who digs down into the entrails to bring forth the real guts of a story. The information he brilliantly provided often left me with my jaw hanging, wondering, “That’s really what they think over there?” I learned an awful lot in the short time it took to read this book.
I honestly think that every American should read it. It is a clarion call to not repeat the myopic, multicultural mistakes that have gotten European countries into a fix that I honestly don’t see how they can get out of now. You will acquire a clear portrait of the attitudes of Muslims in Europe, as well as those of elitist Europeans in all of their moral smugness and self-assuming superiority. Many themes are presented, but perhaps the over-arching theme is that tolerance for the intolerable (wife beating, genital mutilation, honor killing, rape, etc.) is never ever a good policy for a freedom loving, individual-respecting society.
While Europe Slept makes a highly readable contribution to the discussion on the impact of Mideastern Islam with the democractic West. It also has a lot to say about the role that the United States has played in this drama. It turns out that we are not nearly as bad as those who claim to hate us say we are. Reading this book had the unsuspected effect of leaving me feeling even more blessed and happy that I am one of those lucky ones to be an American. What else can I say except that this is a really, really good book. It brought a lot of light into an area that previously was something of a mystery. Highly recommended.
Glad that DePaul finally got rid of Finkelstein. Other universities around can take notice and rid themselves of radical Islamofascists on their faculties. These professors merely incite hatred and violence on their campuses and beyond.
