I doubt that I have ever interviewed a man who is more exact about directions. In a lengthy e-mail, he suggests no less than three different means of getting to his home in Coney Island – subway, New York taxi or mini-cab service – and thoughtfully attaches the cost and duration of each. Norman Finkelstein, academic at a small New York university and author of a book that earned the hostility of the Jewish establishment, leading one prominent figure to describe him as "poison ... a disgusting, self-hating Jew, he's something you find under a rock". And by the way, he is the son of Holocaust survivors
Look we could sent him this, if he is advocating quranimal death threats further:
