Hello Steemians. In case you don't know, Dr. Norman G. Finkelstein is a scholar and activist of world renown. He has devoted his entire adult life for making the world a better place. His primary fields of research and activism are the Israel - Palestine conflict and the politics of the Holocaust, an interest no doubt motivated by the experiences of his parents who are Jewish Holocaust survivors.
For working towards a just peace in the Middle East, Finkelstein lost his academic post. Now, for defending a former student in need, he has been subject to police brutality and faces up to two years in jail.
His crime was that he dared to publicly expose the underhanded tactics of two unscrupulous lawyers who used the tactics to terrorize, demean, slander, bankrupt, and rob his friend. It wasn't long before the police went after Finkelstein. They abducted him in the dead of night from his apartment, brutalized him, and threw him in jail. Finkelstein is currently out on bail, but must return to criminal court on Friday, 3 Nov 2017.
Finkelstein was subjected to police brutality and threatened with a lengthy jail sentence for one thing only: He had the audacity to expose to the whole world how two corrupt lawyers operate.
