Norman Finkelstein Quote: “I earn – I’m not – …”

Norman Finkelstein Quote: “Conversion and zealotry, just like revelation…”

Norman Finkelstein Quote: “Mainstream Jewish intellectuals became ‘pro’-Israel after…”

Norman Finkelstein Quote: “I had been a Maoist, and…”

I had been a Maoist, and then when the Gang of Four was overthrown, I was completely distraught. I was bedridden for three weeks; it was a very painful experience for me.

Norman Finkelstein Quote: “My books don’t sell anymore. There…”

My books don’t sell anymore. There are many reasons why they don’t sell, but one of the reasons is because people don’t read anymore. Forget about reading books of detail – they don’t read at all.
