Norman Finkelstein at Columbia University's Gaza solidarity encampment

"The most powerful weapon you have is the weapon of truth & justice. You should never create a situation where you can be silenced on the grounds of feelings & emotions."

Columbia President Shafik’s remarks were all about hurt feelings. "That whole language has completely corrupted the notion of free speech & academic freedom."

I think I was referring to the notion of "truth & justice" being our greatest weapon.

@BushHut

And "then again" meaning?

Yes, they're our greatest weapons. But that doesn't mean the best we have always works... especially in the face of fascism.

Sorry, I have no argument. I was just curious as to what you meant. No matter.
