I can't believe that it has been allowed to get this far. This "wrong
readers" nonsense is part of the very same process that Finkelstein has
attempted to tear down. The process involving a basic "don't go there, it
just wouldn't be right" mentality. The financial irregularities are small
change, and not worrisome. But with taking down this sacred cow, we get a
brilliant opportunity to discuss the grotesque Israeli lobby. Or better put,
US Imperialist lobby in keeping Israel clean in the minds of many, to stay
with a toe hold (or jackboot, to be honest about it) inside the Mid-East.
