I didn't quote him. I'll quote his website now though, and the Washington Post:
"In Tuesday's column about academic freedom, I mentioned writer Norman Finkelstein, who lectured recently at Georgetown University. Although neo-Nazi groups have cited his work in support of their theories, Finkelstein has never denied the existence of the Holocaust, and I did not intend to suggest that. "
Both of Finkelstein's parents survived concentration camps. Nice try though.
Finkelstien claims that he is no denier. Woud you prefer belittler and one who tries to make Jews into persecutors? Such moral inversion for political purposes has the same intentional effect as denial: to make hatred of Jews acceptable. Both of Finkelstein's parents survived concentration camps. Nice try though.
And unlike my father, they obviously suffered genetic damage.
