Having taken Hillel to task, Stanford physics graduate student Jeremy England takes on Norman Finkelstein in the Daily. He reports on his experience attending Finkelstein’s lecture:

Last Thursday evening, I went to a cult meeting. I did so not out of ideological curiosity (as I had already thoroughly studied this particular cult’s teachings, and discussed their finer points with some of its most fervent devotees), but rather in order to take a few notes so that I could relay my impressions here, in this article. My interest in reporting on the cult is personal, as many of its members would like to see one of my favorite countries — a country where I have both dear friends and close family — wiped off the map.

England continues using the cult imagery, calling Noam Chomsky and Edward Said its gods, and the Coalition for Justice in the Middle East and Students Confronting Apartheid in Israel its acolytes.
He then address the question of anti-Semitism:

Today, the Jews have a state: one that Norman thinks was founded through “morally indefensible” crimes against humanity that it continues to perpetrate in the present day. When all is said and done, I personally am not interested in whether or not we call such a preposterous denunciation an anti-Semitic one. What matters to me is that everything Norman Finkelstein says has that same common thread worming through it: he lives in a fantasy world where Israeli soldiers “indiscriminately fire into crowd[s]” in the service of an “Apartheid” Jewish State whose very existence is a crime, and the anger that this fantasy inspires leads him and his head-nodding disciples in CJME, SCAI, and elsewhere to champion the cause of people who long ago demonstrated that they want nothing more than to blow up actual Jewish children on real buses.
Though few of us study history, we live in a world laden by the weight of it. Anti-Semitism and Nazism are nasty words today because their historical conclusion was an orgy of mass-murder so tremendous as to be almost incomprehensible. Yet, we must remember that, once upon a time, a great many in the Enlightened European elite proudly called themselves anti-Semites. During the same period, across the Atlantic Ocean, Nazi thinkers were welcomed to teach their theories at America’s top universities in what was surely a sad and ignoble chapter in the history of American academia. With that chapter written, and its lessons apparent, it grieves me very much that organizations at Stanford like SCAI and CJME are so intent on writing another one that is equally shameful.
