A Jewish Voice of Peace and Reason: Norman Finkelstein, A profile

This extraordinary intellectual is an astonishing man of peace among a loud and vociferous cacophony of war and hatred; his name is Norman Finkelstein and he is an American Jew who appears on media outlets across the globe, except in America where no news network will touch him.

Finkelstein was born in Brooklyn, NY in 1953 to Jewish parents who survived the Holocaust; his mother, Maryla Husyt Finkelstein, survived the Warsaw Ghetto and Maidanek concentration camp and his father, Zacharias Finkelstein also survived the Warsaw Ghetto and Auschwitz concentration camp.

His parents survived the Holocaust and would you believe that he’s been labelled an ‘anti-Semite’? Believe it.

The reason for this is that he criticizes Israeli treatment of Palestinians and other Arabs, he’s written extensively on the suffering that Zionists have caused to Jews and to the people of the Middle East, he’s attacked regularly, viciously and with malice by fellow Jews, Zionists and NeoCons who are determined to shut him up by destroying his reputation, livelihood and credibility.

Among the most malicious and vile of his attackers is Alan Dershowitz, a Jewish Zionist NeoCons who sounds more like a Nazi than a tenured Harvard professor of law; Dershowitz and his Zionist minions were successful in denying Finkelstein tenure at DePaul University after a well executed and vicious campaign to discredit and destroy Finkelstein’s career. The Dershowitz campaign of hatred and character assassination was launched after Finkelstein wrote a paper proving that Dershowitz’ book ‘The Case for Israel’ was not only entirely false but, plagiarized aswell.

As is the current climate of promoting and spreading unbelievable hatred, war and raw murder on a massive scale, the voice of this extraordinary man of peace and many others like him is systematically silenced by those who want us to be ignorant and to believe the lies and propaganda of the Zionists and the NeoCons.
