Norman Finkelstein "Kidnapped" by Nassau County Police

Disgraced professor Norman Finkelstein is in the news again. It seems the loony anti-Israel warrior has run afoul of the law. According to him, he has been “kidnapped” by the Nassau County (NY)  police, who allegedly burst into his apartment late at night, bounced his head a few times on the floor and hauled him off to jail and a court appearance in his boxer shorts.

At least that’s what Norman says happened. It seems he is the only source for this story. Israellycool has a video produced by the nutty ex-professor that raises more questions than it answers. Apparently, it had something to do with a scheduled court appearance for some transgression related to an anti-Israel protest.

Who knows what really happened? By his own admission, he refused to get dressed, so the cops threw some clothes into a bag and took him as he was.

Here is a (sympathetic) letter written on his behalf that at least sheds some light on Finkelstein’s legal difficulties.

Something is really fishy here. Cops don’t handcuff prisoners to poles for five hours. In addition, Finkelstein’s account of going to court in his boxer shorts sounds like a Hollywood B comedy. This just doesn’t pass the smell test. I can’t even find any reports on this in the news. Having seen this misfit speak on three occasions, I am convinced he is a kook. I’m not saying he’s making this up, but then again….
