From Fox News:
CHICAGO — An ousted American political science professor who believes some Jews have exploited the legacy of the Holocaust recently expressed his support for the terrorist organization Hezbollah.
Norman Finkelstein, who resigned from DePaul University last fall amid criticism of his opinions on the Holocaust, told Lebanese television that his view of Hezbollah is “rarely heard” in the United States.
“I have no problem saying that I do want to express solidarity with them, and I’m not going to be a coward and a hypocrite about it,” Finkelstein told Future TV. “I don’t care about Hezbollah as a political organization. I don’t know much about their politics and anyhow, it’s irrelevant.”
The Jan. 20, 2008, interview was conducted in Arabic; Finkelstein replied in English.

I think your underhandedness in getting Finklestien fired was far more compromising—and to the really basic American values of free speech. Don’t you like free speech? You know what that makes you. Shame on DePaul and shame on Harvard for letting a traitor and a hater like you teach kids. Now lets stop all this hate and start solving the problem—Negotiate!
