A Response to Norman Finkelstein
By Virginia Tilley, February 19, 2012
Responding to bizarre statements always risks magnifying their exposure and importance. Hence I wouldn’t normally
respond to Norman Finkelstein’s startling 32-minute video attack on the movement for boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS)
 against Israel, which was recently posted on YouTube to considerable fanfare by Zionist blogs. Some other good writers
have taken him on, like Sean O'Neill, so I could leave it there. But having watched the whole video-taped interview as well as the
5-minute version that someone cobbled together of its “highlights”, I’m sufficiently irritated to respond.
