Yes, Norman Finkelstein is a guest of the State of Israel! IN PRISON!
He was denied entry to the country this morning, whisked away to a prison and will be deported tomorrow.
WAY TO GO ONLY DEMOCRACY IN THE MIDDLE EAST!
Israel Arrests Outspoken Academic Norman Finkelstein
And the American academic Norman Finkelstein has been arrested and ordered deported from Israel. Finkelstein arrived in Tel Aviv earlier today on his way to the Occupied Territories. He was immediately detained and told he is banned from Israel for ten years. He’s expected to be deported tomorrow. Finkelstein is known one of the most prominent academic critics of Israel’s occupation of the West Bank and Gaza.
*************************************************
US political author Norman Finkelstein denied entry to Israel
Jerusalem - The US political author and critic of Israel Norman Finkelstein was denied entry to the Jewish state on Friday, his lawyer said.
Finkelstein landed at Ben Gurion international airport near Tel Aviv in the early morning and was told by a representative of the ministry of interior that he would not be allowed into the country on ’security’ grounds, attorney Michael Sfard told dpa.
‘This usually means a 10-year ban on entry,’ Sfard added.
Finkelstein, who is Jewish and the son of Holocaust survivors, has written critical books on Israeli policies in the Palestinian territories and on what he called ‘exploitation’ of the Jewish tragedy during World War II.
Finkelstein has received with the fierce disapproval of some authors and academics, while others have praised his controversial works.

Truth need no laws to support it. Only lies and liers need laws to defend rigid dogma. The truth stand up to examination and study. Those who deny the right to ask questions, have something to hide.

Are there any colleges that will hire Prof. Finkelstein?
Ask around! Why should you care? Your kids in college might learn something.
You don’t have to agree with the prof to benefit from the class. Academic freedom and all that.

Well, Israel learns from the doings of the US.
When Yusuf Islam (previously known as Cat Stevens) wanted to visit the US, he was also arrested and deported.
That is what racist fascist states do.
Israel is quickly catching on from it’s sugar daddy.
States behaving like that, have no place on this earth, and should be wiped out. USA, Israel and other similar racist fascist states need to be given their own medicine in an overdosis.

Until Americans realize that the Israeli Zionist regime is a parasite, they will continue drain us of our blood and treasure. There is a disproportionate amount of pro-zionist Jews in the district of criminals, in comparison to the population of Jews in America. Some would say the reason is they are proportionately more educated. I say it is because the welfare we give Israel,
about 3billion a year, is used to fund pro-zionist candidates. They are salting the mine with our resources right before our eyes. We are very close to a point where when you start to criticize American foreign policy, you won’t be considered un-patriotic, rather you will be labeled anti-semitic!

Truly disgusting behavior on Israel’s part. It would be one thing if Norman wanted to speak to some officials in Israel and was denied. But to deny him entrance to the country is simply wrong.
Keep it up, Israel — the world is watching.

One has to wonder why they are giving him this free publicity. Most people have not heard of him or associate him mainly with some holocaust issue or other. I have followed most everything on him and I did not associate him directly with the occupation issue. He branches out and Israel is kind enough to publicize it for him. If they had let him in he would have had to generate interest in what he had to say all by himself. Now he can build on this event with, what did they not want me to see?

I am not surprised by this news. I do believe Norman Finkelstein is on safe ground I believe, Israel would not dare to kill him that would make his words more real and truthful and cause outrage, especially in academic circles …all they can do is try and discredit him (as if that will work).
I just loved his interview http://palestinevideoblog.blogspot.com/2008/04/norman-finkelstein-hezbollah-honour-of.html

Golly Stan, not all Amerikans have single digit IQ’s. Why, my IQ is at least 13 and I’ve got that standardized ACT/SAT/Boseman Calibertron test scores to prove it! The Flintstones are my neighbors. I can send you a photograph if you’d like. Besides, everyone knows the world is flat and Columbus sailed off the edge in 1492 and has been listed as missing in action ever since. Given what the IDF did to Rachel Corrie, should it come as any surprise to anyone that Mr. Finkelstein was given the boot?
Oh yeah Stan one last little thing, the evil that has stolen Amerika is the very same evil that is stealing Europe, the Middle East, and most of Asia. That would be intolerance. So, would “parasiting Jew terrorists” be more insidious than say BP? ExxonMobil? Nestle? Saab? Ummm Stan? Have you ever met a ‘Mormon parasite’? Talk about insidious. How about that John Hagee?

Ummm, upon further consideration and consulting the old dictionary, would the correct usage for “parasiting” be ‘parasitic’? Ummm, I’m not certain here. That consideration and consulting drill, leaves me with a terrific headache. Or should that be ‘terrificisizing’? I’m not certain here. Amerika…we’re number won on the charts with a bullet! George Bush bullets! Get it? Number won on the charts with bullets? I need to be more specific about that “intolerance” conjecture. That should specifically be, intolerant arrogance. Yeah, that’s the one. The parasitic evil that is “intolerant arrogance!” Yup, I think the conjugation is correct. Wow and I just thought of something here. Is this dialog about “Jews” or “Israelis?” Surely there is a difference. Steve? Is there a difference? I think there’s a difference. However and it’s a given, that could just be me.

Truddi, I agree with everything you said except the part where you said that, the Israeli’s was learning from the U.S.. It’s the U.S., that is the Toady. It’s this government that continues to grovel to the Jewish Sate. It was the U.S. that covered up the truth of an attack by Israeli military forces on a U.S. ship in 1967, not the other way around and they still cover it up. The survivors were threatened with court martial if they so much as told their families about that attack. If you want to watch an interesting video, search on the Internet about Kay Griggs. It’s a long video but, it will help you see what I mean.

I guess Finklestein ain’t going to be part of the Ziogenics Program the low iodines in the Chosen State SS.
Ya know - many Israeli politicians, military leaders and academics would be immediately arrested should they land in a civilized country. Here in the US we set guys like airplane bomber 9alleged) Cuban (alleged) American Posada Carriles free (he’s a hero in Florida!). Kissenger, John Negroponte, Rummy Rumsfield and Eliot Abrams can walk the streets of “Judicial Compound USA” without a care - but they land in a civilized country they get popped. (it’s nice to know there are still civilized nations).
Allen Duestchbagowiz - the fluffy pink pigeon that Norman’s adeptness carved like brisk meat was going around threatening to sue anyone that published Norman’s work or gave him Pulpit.
Let’s see, we have a nation of a “better than though” master race (affiliated by parish, not genetics - chuckle), chosen by “the” ghost through an as yet unseen contract signed by an ancient Iraqi and “the” ghost (wouldn’t you like to see that signature?) granting members of the parish “above law status” and canonizing that privilege in Mien Kamp (oops - wrong moment in time - i mean Talmud), that is actively engaged in both a breeding program and extermination program. Now where have I heard that stuff before?
The ignorance and arrogance this dominion heresy stealing from the precious few moments of life all men have right to - they shoot themselves in the foot every chance you give them - soon they will have no feet.

Tell me, what’s the difference between a Zionist and a Jew? Jews “know” that their god chose them above all other ethnicities. Zionists prefer to just wipe out all other people until the last Zionist will be left to himself.
Such religions as the patriarchal Abrahamic brand — Judaism and all of its relative apostacies, Christianity and all of its related fantasies, Islam and its misogynistic culture of shame — all have one perversely dominant focus, that being that some uncommonly schizophrenic “god” has specially chosen them to ultimately “inherit” the cosmos.
In reality however, if you strip away the god from the institution of religion, all that you have left is sports fanatic. I fear however that before the human species is capable of shedding its addictions to the fantasy realm of religion, we are instead destined to destroy ourselves, only to become a sad lesson with no one left to learn from our mistake.

As long as the masses continue to fight each other, under the “illusion” of nations, the elite(Zionist bankers) will continue to win. They will continue to win as long as we fight each other instead of them. They either own it or have infiltrated it. Yes, America is asleep, but so are the rest of the countries. We are all in the same boat and it is sinking. We need to wake up and realize that the Zionist elite control both sides. We die and they make money. Pretty good racket for them.

I have two of his books - Beyond Chutzpah and The Holocaust Industry.
He always references his books and encourages others to check the references. Professor Finkelstein is a credit to himself and a fine example to others.
I believe in a Jewish faith the encourages “love and service” towards all others. I have alot of difficulty with the Government Of Israel displaying those principles to others.

The security wall and colonial settlement of Palestinian Territory is a travesty and does not bode well for the idea of a two-state solution. God bless Hess

Israel is morally bankrupt because racism has always been the lifeblood of Israel. Zionism rests on the fundamental belief that Jews have superior rights in all areas of human existence. Crime boss Meyer Lansky was a Zionist and so were all of his underlings right down to Jack Ruby. At the time of his murder, JFK was actively preventing Israel from developing nuclear weapons.

bunch that many in Israel, and many Jews around the world, condemn and are
willing to speak out against the suffering and death meted out to the people
of Palestine.It is way counterproductive to accuse Jews in general for the crimes of those who lead,and follow,the Zionist state.

Thanks for the publicity. You would think this type of action by israel would be deemed as treasonist for all the terrible publicity it brings down on the crimes of israel(is). Arrogance has no self conscience about itself as israelis prove daily.
What is strange and proves a certain insanity, to poison a water well you intend to use eventually.
I am frightened for my jewish friends here in the USoA. They want no part of those criminals in israel and here that push the zion myth, yet may feel the backlash if those jewish people that also feel this way don’t speak up now. That is what it wil take for the world to wake up, those jewish that want no part, better act now.

I have never spoken out about Israel ’s barbaric and merciless pain inflicted on Palestinians. I have never fiercely argued over substantiating a rightful existence of the Israeli State on the back of someone else’s home either way. The Holocaust issue only ever caught the corner of my eye, its not been an issue to get any engagement from me. But now from this moment on as a 58 year old Australian I have seen and read of so much despicable behaviour with Israel at the centre. The stupidity of banning Dr Norman Finkelstein from Israel has finally made the penny drop. I now will do all within my power to combat Israel’s madness, its influence and special place so claimed for the Jewish people has lapsed. Israel has zero support from me. I now oppose any right of Israel to occupy its nation state, its lost reason for its existence - namely to serve the citizens and all people.

Dear Readers,
after much research, I have come to the working hypothesis that the exploits of the state of Israel are by the leave of, and at the behest of the British Empire. The fact that Tony Blair is playing his current role in “middle east peace” should support this. Furthermore, evidence points to a centuries long attempt to gain total dominion over the earth through a messianic theocratic world “Kingdom of God.” The Union Jack no longer flies over the countries controlled by London, but in a world of debt-based money, the lender is king, and that is London, the hub of “Jew British Monetary Masonry.” Americans would be wise to wake up to the fact that the bastard interpretation of the meaning of Christianity, called “fundamentalism,” and the “kingdom message,” are made in Britain, and have been funded overwhelmingly from London as charitable donations to missions and churches. Christianity has meant freedom from slavery and usury, and the elevation of the humble and meek from lawless oppression for many ages and people. The true Law in the hearts of all good people is reflected in the Torah… All religious institutions are corruptible, but let’s not forget “Amazing Grace,” something Prof. Finklestien has in abundance, along with courage and humility. The British have orchestrated the rise of radical fundamentalism throughout the old Empire for the purposes of initiating the destruction of all faith in the great “clash of civilizations”, a phrase they coined. WWIII is pre-planned by at least a century, and is intended to make way for the false messiah, a seemingly miraculous peace bringer who will come to save us from the worst war we have ever seen, not to mention ” global warming.” “He will rule the earth with a rod of iron.” In the New Testament, the Messiah goes to the desert where he is tempted by Satan; he offers Christ the whole world to rule as his own. The victory over this temptation leads him to be crucified by the Jews of the Sanhedrin, who themselves fervently believe upon the world rulership of the eventual Messiah. Well the Jews of Israel are the Sanhedrin today, and together with the Druid serpents of Brittania are set to take over the world through religion with their false messiah. Prepare for war, love your neighbor as you love yourself, for only as one people will we throw off this alien occupation, and survive the attack of the communist and islamic armies.

Israel is a despicable country that treats holocaust victims horribly while it uses them to pursue their agenda of rebuilding some foolish temple that’s been destroyed what? 3 times? 4? Get over yourselves.

Israel has been transplanted (like a human organ in a transplant) into the world body arbitrarily, by four superpowers, at the end of World War II. It was done without the consent or consideration of the whole world body (other countries) at that time. It was a foreign entity implanted in a hostile, foreign environment. Just like a body part from a host body transplanted into a foreign body, it was naturally expected to experience rejection. The metaphor for the anti-rejection drugs that a human body must continually receive after an implant of a foreign organ, Israel must continually receive, by way of huge infusions of cash, weapons technology, intelligence detection, etc . to prevent it from destruction (rejection) from its naturally hostile environment as a strange unwelcome foreign entitity. The scene we have been witnessing for the last 60 years is the sad but only obvious outcome of the original mismatched transplant. The Medical team overlooking and supporting the transplant is, of course us, the USA. The greatest of the four superpowers guilty of the horrendous mismatched transplant into the world body (our earth home). That its surrounding nations want to see its demise is understandabel, under the setting I have described. The Host body is dead.

I have to say, I fully understand and support Israel’s decision to ban Norman Finkelstein from entry. He is their enemy, and they just act accordingly and sincerely. It would be troubling if they acted differently.
The shame is not on Israel but on US that does not act in the same sincere way with their #1 enemy Israel and all its supporters. The wrong is that not only those who dragged us into the proxy war for Israel walk free, but they are dragging us into another proxy war for Israel.

Once must respect Israel for they arrested Norman only in order to deport him on the next day - rather than put him on trial for denial of Holocaust, for example - being his books.

The attack by Israel upon the USS Liberty was intended to provoke a nuclear attack upon Cairo, this then would be the “Trigger” that would lead to an all nuclear exchange between Russia and America.
This plan for a general nuclear war using Israel as the “Trigger” is still in play.
We are the LIVING DEAD.
Prof. Finkelstein is opening our eyes to the gamesters in London. Tel Aviv and Washington and what the game is all about.

Israel was certainly within their rights to not allow someone into their country. Why should he have a “right” to enter their country? He doesn’t.
Each person a country allows to enter is granted a PRIVILEGE.
There’s no big deal in a quick deportation.
I wish America would do more of the same.

On Friday May 23, 2008 former CIA top analyst and morning briefer to 7 presidents, including Bush Sr., referred to Israel as “America’s quote unquote ally. Juridically speaking we have no alliance with Israel.” This arrest and deportation of Norman Finkelstein will help to finish off any remaining notions that Israel “is a democracy” or “our friend in the Middle East”. Get yourself a copy of former (now-fired) Professor Finkelstein’s “The Holocaust Industry” to find out how the Israel Lobby lies like a rug.

I wish all of the Zionist sympathizers would move to Israel. The Israeli government is the only government on earth more corrupt and morally bankrupt than the United States. People run their mouths about the holocaust when they have never even objectively examined the evidence, or rather lack thereof, supporting the official story. We are making a cash cow out of a tragedy as well as using it for justification of any political or military objectives our two governments devise. It really sickens me.

Zionists are Nazi’s in disguise, they might as well be. The Jewish people have been bamboozled, as have the all the citizens of all the other nations (via lies, mass mind control via propaganda nicely enhanced with the EMF/ELF/TETRA grids). The US is run by Neo-Cons/Neo-Nazi’s (THINK PEOPLE - GWB/Great White Brotherhood/CIA/Operation Paperclip/George PRescot BUsh) and British Empire, who are working closely with the Zionists to implement the Final Solution/End Game culling which is in full swing. Ultimately all are led/manipulated into this living nightmare via the Repillian/Draco/ Illuminati.
The rest of this is a red herring.
May the truth live.

I look forward to the day when the lemmings in the west realize what a nasty little terrorist nation Israel really is and, like most of the rest of the world, wake up to the foul deeds they have/do commit. Terrorists? Muslims aren’t terrorists, they’re simply fighting swine like them and the U.S. the only way they can, guerilla tactics. ironically not unlike the tactics used by the land of the “free” home of the “brave” before they became so powerful and “benevolent”. Remember Jesus, the Liberty and the most recent spate of spying against the U.S. by our “friend” Israel.

How stupid are American!? 911 unfortunately happened because of Israel and Palestine conflict? Israel has done so much crime and killings of innocents (kids, kids and more kids, how shameless, god ‘s curse on you!) on their Land and US backed them up and they finally attack thir big supporter, US!
