Israel

Hook Finkelstein


by: Andrew Dobbs

Mon Jun 11, 2007 at 06:42 PM CDT

I doubt that I can be said to speak for the University of Texas at Austin.  The only time I was on a campus-wide ballot, only 20% of students voted and almost 70% of those voted against me.  I am in exile from the campus for the time being, though I’ll be back in the city by the end of the summer.  Despite all this, I am hereby taking it upon myself to speak on behalf of the UT community.  Professor Norman Finkelstein: we want you.

If you do not know who Norman Finkelstein is, you are not terribly interested or well-versed on matters dealing with the Israeli occupation of Palestine or the Holocaust.

When I first heard that the salsa guy was running for governor, I took it as a novelty.

My brother made us buy that disgusting crap once and his name was kind of funny, but that's about all I knew of Mr. Richard Kinky Friedman.

But when the Daily Texan did a full page article on the man who owned an animal rescue ranch, a charity that benefitted Middle Eastern children and Waylon Jennings' jacket I took ole Mr. Friedman to heart.

Are we not at war?

Can anyone explain to me why Bush promised a few million dollars in foreign aid to rebuild Lebanon after the war with our ally, Israel?  Are we not at war with terrorists and those who harbor and support them?  Doesnt Lebanon harbor and support Hezbollah?  Hezbollah is a listed terrorist organization, isnt it?  I know I saw the Lebanese people cheering for Hezbollah on TV.

Are we not operating in a deficit and receiving foreign aid from China???

If Bush thinks he can outspend Hezbollah in Lebanon and win over the citizens he is high IMO.
