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 and anyhow, it's irrelevant."

The Jan. 20, 2008, interview was conducted in Arabic; Finkelstein replied in English.

Norman Finkelstein

Called his life meaningless since he discovered he hated himself most.

Before people say “Freeze Finkelstein’s assets in the USA. Pu his name on the terrorist watchlist.”

If he wasn’t totally penniless except for payments from terrorists for speaking engagements, and if he wasn’t a total putz, it might be worth it. Finkelstein is now claiming solidarity with a terrorist group that forced young children into close proximity to a missile silo to use them as human sacrifices for a public relations campaign. Green helmet guy and Finkelstein should have a little powwow to discuss the best way to get PR out of children Hezbollah murders in the upcoming war.

This “Jewish” professor is supporting a nazi-like fascist organization which uses Hitler’s salute during their meetings.

Finkelstein is the type of Jew who would have pushed fellow Jews into gas chambers in order to appease Hitler.

Well, the first four letters of his surname says it all, doesn’t it?

I can’t think of a much lower life form, than one that could access information about WWII death camps, and then back Hezballah in that they would love to finish the job.

Send this bastard over to Israel and let him spout this carp.

Finkelstein’s mother, Maryla Husyt Finkelstein, survived the Majdanek concentration camp as a very young teen.

She had, in my opinion, a bad case of “Stockholm Syndrome” after her parents murder and began to identify with the Nazis, as a coping mechanism -— her father was a very difficult man, and the Nazis replaced her father (and she was very alone).

This poison corrupted her son.

(That, or he’s a hack, and this is his schtick.)
