Dear all,
Otto has pointed out that I have yet to post anything on Finkelstein... Since the man is, in my opinion, very much worthy of defense, I will put up links to the websties I know of where people can find ways to show their support:

Mark Elf, an old friend of mine
www.normanfinkelstein.com
The man himself: If you don't know him, read it, find out.
Finkelstein, the child of bona-fide holocaust survivors--ie, his parents were camp inmates-- is the author of The Holocaust Industry, Israel and Palestine, Image and Reality of the Israel-Palestine Conflict, The Rise and Fall of Palestine and other great books. I specifically recommend Image and Reality for anybody who wants a deep, historical understanding of the Palestinian conflict and also The Holocaust Industry if you really want to read how Zionist lunatics have completely distorted public debate in the English-speaking world.
Any suggestions of how we can help take this forward are welcome.
Thanks Otto (jpohl.blogspot.com) for reminding me.

Thanks for joining the good fight. I agree with you about Image and Reality. It is definitely a book anybody remotely interested in Palestine should read.
Old friend? How come you never said you had a blog? Don't like to brag, huh?
You got it, I don't like to brag. Well, it seems you've discovered the blog though, Mark, and here you are!!
How's tricks in the East End, then? Been by the bagel shop recently?
I actually went there yesterday, phoned my mum to see if she wanted a beigel (as some of us still say) and she tut-tutted and told me "it's pesach (passover)." That means we're not supposed to eat leavened bread. It didn't stop me though. Two smoked salmon with lemon and pepper. You can't wack it!
Gregory Meyerson, Assistant Professor of English (critical theory) at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University in Greensboro, NC, has drafted a letter from 'Scholars for intellectual freedom in support of Dr. Norman Finkelstein' to DePaul University President The Rev. Dennis H. Holtschneider, C.M., Ed.D. It is now circulating for signatures. Any practicing or former academics wishing to support the initiative to counteract Dershowitz's pernicious machinations can find further details at:
