"Those who crusade, not for God in themselves, but against
the devil in others, never succeed in making the world better,
but leave it either as it was, or sometimes perceptibly worse
than what it was, before the crusade began. By thinking
primarily of evil we tend, however excellent our intentions,
to create occasions for evil to manifest itself."
-- Aldous Huxley
"The only war that matters is the war against the imagination.
All others are subsumed by it."
-- Diane DiPrima, "Rant", from Pieces of a Song.
"It is difficult
to get the news from poems
yet men die miserably every day
for lack
of what is found there"
-- William Carlos Williams, "Asphodel, That Greeny Flower"
Thanks for this interview with Prof. Finkelstein.
Finklestein is my hero. Not afraid to stand against wrong, not afraid to do the right thing.
I crazy for this guy. He rocks! But I think he’s a little wrong about who is leading in this genocide. Still, it might be right to approach it from his angle, because, at bottom, Israel could not do what it does without our approval and support. That they have infiltrated our halls of power and the mechanisms to control that power, really is nearly moot from the perspective of stopping the genocide. If hating American tyranny will move the world to put a stop to it, fine, and I think that’s what Norman is angling for. It could even be the wiser approach, but I tend to agree more with James Petras on this point. If hating the Israeli influence on the debauching of America will move Americans to put a stop to it, one should listen to Petras on the matter instead. All roads, here, lead to Rome.
I dont trust Jews being critical of Jews…hmmmm, why are there not more non-Jews that can get this type of political platform….reminds me about Adam Ghadan( aka Adam Pearlman) being the lead spokes person for Al Qa3iida and hes a Jew…..lol…Its just all kinda fishy…..
