An Issue of Justice: Origins of the Israel/Palestine Conflict

Finkelstein lays out the history of the Israel/Palestine conflict with clarity and passion, arguing that any other similar conflict would be perfectly understood, yet this one exists beneath a blanket of ideological fog. Finkelstein cuts through the fog with indisputable historical facts, optimistic that the struggle is winnable, and that it is simply an issue of justice.

Norman Finkelstein was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1953. He is the son of two Holocaust survivors. He received his doctorate from Princeton University for a thesis on the theory of Zionism. He is the author of four books, including The Holocaust Industry. His writings have also appeared in many prestigious journals.

nice one Major - I went to the Pathe site and found loads more just by searching for 'Palestine'

Wow. Good sleuthing.

So much for the history deniers. "There's no such thing as Palestine." For a make-believe country, they sure threw the name around.
