    Linda J.:

    Thank you for your informative website.

    I heard Norman Finkelstein today. He is optimistic about Israel’s power diminishing. I believe he is correct. Even a rabbi at an Israeli Birthday Celebration in Seattle was quoted as in one of our two daily papers saying he could not blame Palestinians for protesting outside. He basically said if he were in their position he would do it also. Whatever his intentions, I believe this kind of comment sways the general public.

    Finkelstein said as long as we continue to confront people with the facts and ask for them to be fair on the issue, for the majority of people, they will see reason.
