Why should these Palestinians, who have lived in Jerusalem for hundreds of years, be evicted from their homes so that Jews from Brooklyn can live in them?

About me: This page is dedicated to preserving the works and research of long time political activist Jewish American Professor Norman Finkelstein. Norman Finkelstein received his Ph.D in Political Science from Princeton University and is a son of Holocaust Survivors. Professor Finkelstein was recenly refused entry into Israel and arrasted by Israeli authorities while planning a Humanitarian trip to the Palestinian Occupied territories. If you wish to contact Professor Finkelstein I would suggest to contact him directly at his official page provided below or just send me a message and I will send you his email address. This page just got started but it will be continuously updated troughout extended time.
”…So long as the people do not care to exercise their freedom, those who wish to tyrannize will do so; for tyrants are active and ardent, and will devote themselves in the name of any number of gods, religious and otherwise, to put shackles upon sleeping men.”
Hi, what do you think of this quote from Marx? It could have been writtern yesterday, couldn't it?.
"The credit system... is one enormous centralisation and gives this class of parasites [financiers, banks, etc] a fabulous power not only to decimate the industrial capitalists periodically but also to interfere in actual production in the most dangerous manner - and this crew know nothing of production and have nothing at all to do with it." [Capital, Volume 3. ]
"Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle! Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did, and it never will. Find out just what people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue until they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress." --Frederick Douglass

"And when the drums of war have reached a fevor pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind is closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and do it gladly so. "How do I know? I know for this is what I have done. And I am Caesar." --Julius Caesar.
here is what i said on forums about you today, i am proud to know you, someday i will give a middle name to my child which will be finkelstein not just to honor you, but to honor your family!
like i always say, someday finkelstein will return to israel a national hero & i can tell me grand-children i was one of the first to believe in him. if it was not for finkelstein the lawyers who stole from the holocaust victims would have never come to justice, many in israel adore finkelstein & protest his barrement from israel. history has made the finkelsteins of the world right, when something is not popular, but your principles prevent you from supporting it, you win out in the end when your principles are right, even if it is not with the time, as he is a man ahead of his time, one of the few real intellectuals in the world.
