DePaul's Finkelstein: "We are all Hizbullah now."

Jew hating Jews are becoming a growing species on this planet. Which brings to mind this apocryphal quote by Vladimir Lenin:

"The capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them."

Which takes us to this article by Paul Bogdanor in the Jewish Press:

"If they [Jews] all gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them worldwide." – Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, Hizbullah commander

"I say this without fear: for those who believe in freedom and dignity, we are all Hizbullah now." – Norman Finkelstein, Jewish anti-Zionist

That any human being could proclaim his support for a movement whose goal is to annihilate all the world's Jews must be shocking to the normal observer. That a Jew could take this position seems all the more astounding.

Yet Norman Finkelstein, university professor and best-selling author, is by no means unique among Jews in his allegiances. His mentor, Noam Chomsky, has publicly embraced the murderous Sheikh Nasrallah. In fact, during the recent war, Chomsky was among several Jewish signatories to an open letter offering "solidarity and support" to the "resistance" in Lebanon and Palestine – meaning Hizbullah and Hamas. And these pledges of loyalty to genocidal fanatics have become quite common among Jews who distinguish themselves by their hatred for Israel.

Finkelstein, as regular visitors to this blog know, is an assistant professor of political science at Chicago's DePaul University.

As for myself, I believe in freedom and dignity, and I'm defiantly opposed to Hizbullah, Hezbollah, or whatever Western spelling is in use today.

Here's a Finkelstein funny: Yesterday on his website he called the head of the Anti-Defamation League "The Grand Wizard." Check out the subhead.

Hat tip to Steven Plaut, again.
