This has been repeated more than once in his lectures that is why many people said that this was staged in order to produce the desirable effect when you have standing and screaming in the middle of a university lecture and having Finkelstein putting them right back to their place saying that we will not allow people opposing what he saying iand bringing in the subject of the holocaust.
The way this has been set is to show that Zionists could be scolded and even silenced about the holocaust and apt to sit and listen about the holocaust and even convinced of what could be said about this holocaust. After that they would have to listen to the Palestinian testimony regarding the Palestinian plight as Goldstone listened to the testimony of Palestinians in Gaza which brought tears to his eyes . We thought then that- even as a Zionist- Goldstone could behave as a hguman being regarding this matter embracing the Palestinian view point .We were wrong.

I used to correspond with Finkelstein and I believe he is genuine; I believe he says what he believes. He is also open to people with differing points of view, with one exception. He believes the holocaust story as it is told and he is not interested in debating that.

In my opinion Finkelstein started speaking out for Palestinian rights long before it was popular in the west. He also wrote some books critical of the Jewish lobbies and I believe he is the man most responsible for exposing the “holocaust Industry”; how Jews have used the Holocaust for monetary profit and to enhance Israel’s power and make it immune from any criticism. He might be doing better now, but a few years ago he was released from his teaching position at De Paul University and denied tenure despite being one of the most popular professors at the university and one of the few that had published some widely read books (widely read outside the USA; mostly ignored within the USA). For a while he was living alone in a small apartment in Brooklyn with little or no income. I was one of the many people that wrote to the head of the university protesting his denial of tenure and then release from his teaching position. He is probably doing better now.

The statement “Finkelstein -of the staged lectures with cries and tears” is a good description of at least one of his speeches. In one speech he said he doesn’t want today’s Jews to profit off the suffering of Jews in the 1940′s and then he says he lost his whole family in the “Holocaust” except for his parents who both survived concentration camps. He got emotional and it may have been put on, but I can forgive him if it was. He has been exposed to the same every day propaganda as everyone else, so he believes most of what is said.

As I said, I used to correspond with him, but the last time I heard from him was before I defended the historian David Irving against someone who had criticized Irving in a letter to Finkelstein. So, he’s a 100% believer in he holocaust.

Hi Daniel, when you say;
“Finkelstein -of the staged lectures with cries and tears” does that mean he was in on some faking of dissent/emotional contrivances from the audience during his lectures, possibly to raise his profile?
Is this new information? Will you expand? cheers

My beliefs are in complete agreement with the article. I think the idea that the US government is supporting Syria is ridiculous. The way I see it, the terrorists that are attacking Syrians and their government are state sponsored terrorists; the USA is a state sponsor of terrorists. That does not mean that Assad doesn’t have blood on his hands, but he certainly can’t have more blood on his hands than Bush II.

I don’t know how many Arabs admire Chomsky for what he said about the holocaust, but if Chomsky “denied” the holocaust he has at least one German as a fan. I’ll admit I know very little about him, but I do like some of the things he has said.

chomsky supported the zionazi attack on libya, as well. some pacifist, eh?

another example of jewish people working to destroy opposition to the jp/corporate fascist alliance. what makes chomsky, and his allied fake leftists, so repugnant is their dishonesty. they know full well the extent the death and destruction that their masters are bringing this world, and they promote it all the same. they put every effort to conceal these crimes in order to promote them among decent people.

they are no different than charles manson inside.
