Has Finkelstein called Israel’s war a genocide? Because if you ctrl + f “genocide” in the article, the author doesn’t attempt to “debunk” the claims of genocide.

Granted this was a month after the October 7 attacks, but the nerd hasn’t posted anything since. And I coincidentally came across this person because I was reading his article on his Chase account being hacked.

"destroyed his own career"

what a cowardly and disgusting way to describe what was character assassination and attempted censure of Finkelstein on behalf of known pedo Dershowitz et al.

I am glad that Finkelstein seems to be coming into a sort of renaissance with the renewed Gaza coverage. He has a refreshing approach to the Palestinian resistance, namely his resolve to find the truth of a matter and not to sugarcoat or bullshit about it is commendable.

Having the enormous brass balls to say "you've destroyed your reputation by mentioning that your parents were in the Holocaust" in the defense of Israel is such a fucking trip.

Especially when he basically never used to do it until the Zionist lobby started going after him for his work while baselessly calling him a Nazi and Kapo. They then went after his deceased mother with a smear campaign claiming she worked with the Nazis.

That is absolutely disgusting. Zionists (NOT Jewish people, for anyone lurking) are such depraved fascist scumbags.

Yup, shit like that is exactly why all the Zionist 'crocodile tears' to borrow a phrase Finkelstein famously used are such obvious bullshit. If Zionism ever was built out of concern stemming from and a deep cultural wound from the Holocaust it sure as shit hasn't been for thr last thirty years. It's a cudgel to hit people with for Zionists, that's it. Imagine claiming Holocaust victims and survivors are the most sacred loss and then smearing one of them as a Nazi collaborator because someone pushed back on your most extreme arguments.
