He went on to claim that the Board's concerns about human rights or racism were hollow as they have failed to display equal zeal and vigour to defend Palestinian rights.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://usa.mediamonitors.net/content/view/full/59352">This view is also supported by 'Jews for Justice'. Their concerns are similar to those of Finkelstein and question the entire concept of antisemitism in the way it is used to manipulate legitimate criticism of Israeli policies as "anti-Jewish" and thus racist. </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/28CFB3F4-0400-4319-9489-D2B3ADFC39D1/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
