  1. Chris says:

    When Finkelstein is disrespectful, the disrespect is not taken as being directed just at Alan Dershowitz or Ariel Sharon. It feels like he disrespects Jews qua Jews. And that’s neither insignificant nor a footnote.

    No, but it is stupid.

    Bush ≠ America
    Israel ≠ Jews
    Sharon + Dershowitz ≠ Israel
    Arabs ≠ Terrorists
    Iran ≠ Nazi Germany
    And so on.

  2. While your “equations” may be true, Chris, from what I’ve read of Finkelstein’s attitudes he has never done himself any favors by bringing up his beliefs in ways that don’t seem like attacks on the people involved.
