American Dream wrote:17breezes, it's hard to believe you really do understand Norman Finkelstein's position as you offered such a gross misrepresentation of what it actually is.
Anyway, after reviewing your previous few contributions here, I'm just not interested in engaging with you further.
However, all is not lost- your position may interest others here more than it does me.

17breezes wrote:Now what does that have to do with Finkelstein's archaic canard that a small group of Jews control world opinion and actions? I mean really, even if it's only Zionists he and others refer to isn't it a little ludicrous and deja vu to attribute that much power to such a small part of the world's population?

Conquistador and expedition scribe Bernal Diaz described the resultant carnage from infectious disease thus: "We could not walk without treading on the bodies and heads of dead Indians. The dry land was piled with corpses."
In the space of 10 years, historians estimate that Mexico's population plummeted from some 25 million to 6.5 million owing to epidemics of infectious disease – a drop of 74%.
In North America, later events echoed those in Mexico but with one not-so-subtle difference.
By the 1600s, colonizers knew enough about epidemiology to maliciously inflict deadly diseases on locals by providing "gifts" of blankets and clothing infested with smallpox and typhus-bearing lice – the first recorded acts of biological warfare.

It's not at all off-topic. Apparently it was the decimation of the Native population that first spurred the hunting and importation of Africans to work the plantations in the Southern U.S., Central and South America, since unlike the indigenous people, they were considered to be a renewable resource. Some historians argue that in the American slave trade, more than 6 million Africans were killed just on the passage from Africa to America. In other words, one holocaust led directly to another.
