Is Norman Finkelstein in Tehran?
Frontpagemagazine ^ | 12-13-06 | Alan M. Dershowitz

Posted on 12/13/2006 5:50:16 AM PST by SJackson

The mullahs' anti-Semitic hatefest gets underway.

A neo-Nazi website has published the schedule of speakers at the Iranian Holocaust denial conference:

Prominent among the speakers in the schedule is assistant professor Norman Finkelstein of DePaul University.  His name appears along with Professor David Duke of the Interregional Academy of Personnel Management in Ukraine and other assorted nuts, neo-Nazis, Islamo-fascists, and America- and Israel-bashers. 

 

It is unclear whether Finkelstein actually attended the conference, since the identity of many of the attendees has been kept secret, and the media office at DePaul says it doesn’t know.  But Finkelstein certainly fits comfortably into the hate club, since he has allied himself closely with the Holocaust denial movement by trivializing the suffering of its victims and denying that many of them were victims at all.  It would be natural for the rulers of Iran to have invited this Jew-hater to their hatefest.  I don’t know if they did, or if Finkelstein accepted any such invitation.  But the burden is now on him to explain why his name appears in the schedule and to produce all correspondence with the sponsors of the conference.  It should make interesting reading.

Maybe they'll hire David Duke.

Dershowitz takes another opportunity to bitch-slap Finklestein, who did not even attend this Jew Haters Convention, while ignoring Neturei Karta, who did.

Depends on which Americans we're talking about.

None of them, other than those who take up arms or insert themselves in combat zones.

It's the Cath-Muzz connection?

Dershowitz is not a very crystal character and has some scores to settle with Mr. Finkelstein.

Finklestein deserves it, and it's personal. Neturei Karta hasn't attacked Dershowitz yet.

Madness!

'Former' KKK National Director David Duke at a conference in Tehran

Participants at a conference questioning whether the Holocaust took place praised Iran's hard-line president on Tuesday, saying the gathering gives them the chance to air theories casting doubt on the Nazi genocide that are banned in parts of Europe. Ahmadinejad initiated the two-day gathering, which began on Monday, in an attempt to bolster his image as a leader standing up to Israel, Europe and the United States _ an image he has used to whip up support at home and abroad.

Cool photos. I remember that in pre-WWII Poland the mainstream Orthodox rabbis were condemning Zionist as a godless heresy (together with Socialism). They were saying that men may not force the hand of God.

They really are the exemplification of arch-deception.

Thanks for posting this info. I fear that the middle east is about to explode into new conflicts. The Palis are on the verge of open war between factions (Hamas vs. Fatah). Hezbolla is about to topple the legitimate elected government of Lebanon. The Hezzies use murder, intimidation, blackmail everyday to get their way. Both Hamas and Hezzies are being funded and armed by Iran and Syria. The Saudis are 'threatening' to back the Sunnis in Iraq. Which really means that Iran and Saudi Arabia want to use Iraq as a private terror playground.

I'm thinking the sooner Israel drops bunker busters on Iran's nuke facilities the better.

"They were saying that men may not force the hand of God."

What did they say about the Nazis who were planning the total extermination of the Jewish people on a world-wide basis, and would have succeeded if diabolical enemy had not eventually been defeat by the Allies.

I agree with your overview.

The best possible outcome would be the removal of three Muslim dictatorships most responsible for the two branches of global Islamic terrorism, Wahhabist Arabia, Shi'ite controlled Iran & cohort Syria.

The only component lacking is Western will, which has been replaced by the history repeating policies of appalling appeasement.

I know you may have seen this, but did you notice the tone in the glare that Amendijhad (or however you spell the goobers name) when he's looking over the rabbi's (out of focus) into the camera picture up there...3rd or 4th from the bottom I think...

That glare chills...

Not that I really feel it, but I'd rather walk over there and slap him up side the head...He's such a little punk...

What is the national origin of 9/11 bombers? How many of them are from Arabia, Iran and Syria respectively?

Why US and Canada "rendered" terrorist suspect to Syria for interrogation? Why Iran helped America in Afghanistan?

There were 15 Wahhabist Arabians out of the 19 September 11th killers. The Pal Arabs, Hezballah, the Taliban, the Iranian & Syrian terrorist régimes were all pleased Islamic mass murder was committed against the so-called "infidels".

What's your point relating to Iran and Syria?

"Why Iran helped America in Afghanistan?"

Helped with what?

It sounds like your going around the back door excusing or condoning Putin's weapons shipments to both jihad exporting Iran and Syria.

EVIL

"Haman" Ahmadinejad's cold blooded stare is saying "If there were no cameras and nobody would discover the body, that deceived infidel would be exterminated!"

Are you suggesting that remaining 4 were from Iran and Syria? Wink, wink.

"Why Iran helped America in Afghanistan?"

Helped with what?

Does "Northern Alliance" ring a bell?
