The world can be very thankful for the emergence of heroes like Norman Finkelstein.
Having the intelligence and character of mind to reflect upon his own life and learning to distil the essence, the moral principle and the rational understanding and having also the courageous in his principles and clarity of thought and articulation to fight for them.
Without the likes of Norman Finkelstein the rest of humanity might well descend into the darkness of ignorance and unreason, smitten bu such follies that there are only trivial differences between civilised human beings and sharks that eat their siblings in the womb.
Given the number of fools willing to lead the latter parade the Finkelsteins of the world are more precious than all the wealth in the golden capitalist empire.
