A bizarre and unsupported argument

Norman Finkelstein, a former professor of political science at DePaul University gave a lecture earlier this month entitled "Israel and Palestine: Roots of Conflict, Prospects for Peace." In the bizarre talk, Finkelstein reduced the conflict to supposedly objective questions, of international legality and of historical fact, for which he naively claimed there was a simple answer.
