 :::::Finkelstein did not say he was not guilty: of course Husseini was deeply culpable of many grievous errors and was an incompetent, devastatingtly stupid arsehole (so are several modern and much esteemed political heads of state in the West, who have, as Fink himself repeatedly notes, continued a programmatic devastation of the Arab world with total impunity, bringing about the murderous pathologies we have now). NF said that if Husseini had been implicated as deeply as  Moshe Pearlman, Joseph Schechtman and the postwar Zionist hasbara lobbyists had painted him, then the only moral and logical step would have been to have killed him or put him on trial. He served Israel's interests alive, perhaps.
