Finkelstein wrote up a short paper of just preliminary findings, it was about twenty-five pages or so, and he sent it around to I think thirty people who were interested in the topic, scholars in the field and so on, saying: "Here's what I've found in this book, do you think it's worth pursuing?"
Well, he got back one answer, from me. I told him, yeah, I think it's an interesting topic, but I warned him, if you follow this, you're going to get in trouble—because you're going to expose the American intellectual community as a gang of frauds, and they are not going to like it, and they're going to destroy you.

Home once more with some cash for driving an incredible piece of machinery to one of Califonia's nicer areas. I will likely buy one of those kangaroo leather wallets and a pair of dress gloves to complete my assembly of genteel accessories.
And once more, with niether charity or favour I ask; where is Chatsworth who instigated this pissing contest I much too eagerly unzipped for?
Or perhaps as agent-provocatuer and 5th columnist he did his dirty work and slipped away when the bricks started flying.

Presidents and would-be presidents have to show up to their events. Note prominent mention of the holocaust on their front page.
Gone but not forgotten :-
Israel being cast as a valiant 'David against Goliath'. Does not play now, since Israel is a major nuclear power and arms producer.
Israel as 'America's proxy in the Middle East'. Useful position when there was a Cold War. Now Israel is an American liability in the Middle East but of course no US president dare admit that.
This thread is really crap lately.
