@Che, oooex
Comforting, isn't it?
You know I won't read much past that. At some point you will be indistinguishable from any authoritarian, regardless of your political affinity.
Omooex,
None of your points ever manage to climb over my little toe.
It's you who has been perennially clueless. But I must say I am suspicious of your motives for promoting Goldhagen's book here. You could be that clueless or that clever by half. The book was probably something that AIPAC enjoyed immensley. On the other hand, I can see how your distinctly tendentious nature might find the specious arguments and accusatory tone appealing. Then again, you probably are just that clueless.

"In this important volume Finkelstein and Birn demonstrate that Daniel Goldhagen's study of the Judeocide is monocausal, teleological, and severely blinkered. Finkelstein carefully sets forth Goldhagen's distortion and disregard of the secondary literature; Birn masterfully lays bare his gravely flawed use and interpretation of archival sources. Both authors also raise hard questions about the political reasons for the inordinate promotion and reception of Goldhagen's book. No serious student of history can afford to ignore these well-reasoned and withering reflections on the perils of pseudo-scholarship."
