The vaunted "independent scholar with a PhD from Princeton", Norman Finkelstein, took his freak-show to the University of Oklahoma this week, where he told an audience of gullible college kids his wild conspiracy theories about Israel.

Yes, Norm, it was Israel's fault the boys of Hamas starting shooting those rockets into Israeli schoolyards.
Apparently, Normie thinks that war should be played like a round of golf-with handicaps for the weaker side. Sorry, Norm. It doesn't work that way.
Apparently, there was no shortage of gullible students who ate up every word that droned out of Normie's mouth.
Dalia Bayaa, vice president of Sooners for Peace in Palestine said students could benefit from hearing Finkelstein because he presents views about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that aren’t covered in mainstream media.
Sooners for Peace in Palestine did not comment as to whether they planned to invite an Israel-supporter to speak at OU.
There must be millions of people in the world who hold views on any number of subjects that aren't covered in the mainstream media... because they are irrelevant, uninformed, and of no real consequence to how events unfold. What makes Norm any different?
ReplyDelete(Now a speaker from Hamas would be worth having, as long as there was a well moderated question and answer period).
oklahoma university is the best university that are preparing the world class scholars.
