DePaul's Norman Finkelstein calls for economic boycott of Israel

Norman G. Finkelstein, an assistant political science professor at Chicago's DePaul University, is calling for economic boycott of the Jewish state. The article can be found in Counterpunch, which is co-edited by his pal Alexander Cockburn.

Finkelstein is widely dismissed as a holocaust minimizer, and the Anti-Defamation League has gone as far as naming him a holocaust denier.

Citing what he calls human rights violations, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, Finkelstein (who to my knowledge has not called for a boycott of Iran), thinks this an boycott of Israel "can be justified on moral grounds."
