Doctor NORMAN FINKELSTEIN ARRESTED IN ISRAEL – The only “Apartheid-cum-democracy” in the Middle East

NORMAN FINKELSTEIN ARRESTED IN ISRAEL « Desertpeace
And the American academic Norman Finkelstein has been arrested and ordered deported from Israel. Finkelstein arrived in Tel Aviv earlier today on his way to the Occupied Territories. He was immediately detained and told he is banned from Israel for ten years. He’s expected to be deported tomorrow. Finkelstein is known one of the most prominent academic critics of Israel’s occupation of the West Bank and Gaza.

Well there are a number of people that speak out about the right-wing Israel Lobby all the time.

And more all the time. There is a lot of backlash in the American Jewish community with regards to the right’s dominance of the main lobbying organizations and their support of violence (versus Iraq, Iran, and the Palestinians) rather than constructive engagement.

All israel wants is to silence all truth and criticism of its aprtheid policies in Occupied West Bank and Gaza.
