I take it you're a Muslim, and if that's the case, would you like to be branded a terrorist just because there are a number of Muslims who are? Well, the same is true in this case. First of all, you don't even know whether or not he's a Zionist, but, even if he is, it in no way means that every Zionist is venal and unethical...except perhaps in your fevered Muslim imagination. It's time to let go of your repulsive bigotry and stop making sweeping generalizations about a whole group of people. Not only that, but many of us respect the Turkish people because we perceive most of them as being secular and more moderate. Perhaps we were wrong.
9. #7 Typhoon - Turkey
mr ,   israel   (10.24.07)
To set the record straight : This man is scum - not a Zionist.
10. #7 he is not a zion-hood
taamer ain alheloa ,   azmir turkey   (10.24.07)
he is a robi;n-hood typical paradox
11. defrauding shoah victims
peter ,   amsterdam NL   (10.24.07)
Maybe Norman Finkelstein should be offered a position at an Israeli university after loosing his position at DePaul due to Alan Dershowitz's shenanigans. Profiting from shoah victims is disgusting.
12. Following a six-year trial, !!? It took
Joe ,   Ohio, USA   (10.24.07)
6 years to try this piece of human garbage??! Man, I thought our justice system was ponderous. What ever happened to "We'll give him a fair trial tomorrow and hang him the day after"?
13. Whats new??? Whos next???

14. Why So Much Corruption in Israel?
Semsem ,   New York, USA   (10.24.07)
I am shocked by all the corruption in Israel. However I am impressed that many of these criminals get caught.
15. #11
(10.24.07)
Norman Finkelstein didn't lose his position at DePaul because of Alan Dershowitz, He lost his job because he's intellectually dishonest...and a shit head to boot.
16. just like the famous bumper sticker in US
i ,   jerusalem   (10.24.07)
DONT STEAL; the government hates competition.
17. Glad
Christy ,   Boston, US   (10.24.07)
Glad that someone who was defrauding The Survivors has been convicted. I do hope he's made to repay all the money he fraudulently kept for himself. I think someone who defrauds The Survivors is worse than an ordinary thief. There should be additional jail time for this man and also a disbarment. It would be nice if all individuals & groups involved with getting & handling monies for The Survivors were subjected to periodic audits.
18. i'm proud of our open democracy and functioning legal system
perspective ,   jm, israel   (10.24.07)
19. What does Zionism have to do with the price of beans here?
Global Citizen ,   Israel & USA   (10.24.07)
Seriously - look up the meaning of the term "Zionist." Even more seriously, don't forget that for every one of these guys from Israel, there are at least 10 Russian or American hoodlums doing 100 times the damage.
20. attorney convicted

??? ,   Worldwide   (10.25.07)
Mr. Perry was a crook! He took advantage of the holocaust surviours by lending them money to participate in Germanys pension program via payment of what was needed to enroll them in the pension program and granted them a small advance on the pension they would have rec'd. However, Mr. Perry then collected the pension funds and never used them to pay off the interest or the prinicple of the loan. In order to do this they would have to pay him a one time payment of about 16,000 DM . Few had this type of money available and thus Mr. Perry continued to collect the montly pension of about $1000 DM every month for the life of the surviours. He then used complex insurance arrangements in offshore domiciles to move money and purchase property such as mansions in Monte Carlo, entire office blocks in London and other real estate investment. I am not Jewish, I am a Chrisitian but I do not have a bit of respect for this person and he should hold his head low as he has betrayed his own brothers for gold. The original transaction mentioned above using allowing the pensioner pension distrubtions to pay off the loan would have made Mr. Perry a rich man but to go beyond that and steal from the surviours and his own brothers may he hold his head low in a tel a viv Jail
