Website title:

...if Norman Finkelstein was willing to debate me on ANY topic...I would refuse, flat out, because I´d know he had me dead to rights and I had not a toe to stand on.

...he is the most down-to-earth, uncontrovertible, mild-mannered, white-hot intellectual I can imagine. He is completely stripped of all extras, gadgets, gewgaws....he doesn´t deal in "points"...he boringly, ploddingly but brilliantly stays on topic...and it´s wonderful to behold how blowhards fade away and sweat and mutter and stammer before him.

He made the excellent observation that things are rapidly going south for Zionism...that they stand a good chance of alienating too many American Jews who he says are still in the Leon Uris "Exodus" God-gave-this-land-to-me mode, Paul Newman and all.

Jimmy Carter wrote a book that made it to the NY Times bestseller list in which he laid out the truth, that it is not the Palestinians or Hamas or Hezbollah that is blocking a peaceful settlement but Israel,,,,and predicatbly Carter was attacked as an anti-Semite, a borderline Holocaust-denier and the rest of it...but for the first time it didn´t stick! In fact it backfired...so much so that when Carter spoke at Brandeis University, the largest secular Jewish university, with 4000 mostly Jewish students in the audience, he received four standing ovations...and when Dershowitz stood to refute him, two-thirds of the audience walked out.

The Holocaust card may be losing its power.

And, of course...one day a very different United States, if we´re lucky, will issue a deep aplology...maybe. Or maybe they´ll cover their asses by that best of all excuses, like you´d give your mother..."b...b...b..but the Jews MADE ME DO IT"!!!
