Interesting (if extremely controversial guy). Check out the new documentary on him if you haven't already: "American Radical."

I watched it and recommend it especially for people who think he's full of ****. He basically a mommas boy who is repulsed by state violence. His mother survived the holocaust and they were very close. She instilled in him this duty to radically oppose the cruelty of state power.

Hes not just some disingenuous hack he's the real deal like him or not.

Yeah, I found him highly sympathetic and humanistic, even though I do not agree with his conclusions on Israel. It made me understand the passion and emotion in his work a lot more. That rant at the "crocodile tears" girl was just awesome; I mean it was a bit harsh, but you can see how he gets to that point after the complete bull**** he has put up with for years and years.

The whole thing made me hate Dershowitz even more, if that was possible. The guy is just a straight up bully, calling Finkelstein a "classic anti-Semite" just doesn't even merit a response to be honest.
