Norman Finkelstein: mere critic?

Former Professor Norman Finkelstein always said he was simply a scholar whose legitimate criticism of Israel was met by unmerited rejection. "What's wrong with being a critic of Israel?", he and others insist. Criticism of Israel is one thing. Meeting with Hizballah leaders is another. Does this sound like mere critiquing of Israeli policy?:
I think that the Hezbollah represents the hope. They are fighting to defend their homeland.

Defend their homeland? So when their operatives send Katyushas into Kiryat Shmona completely unprovoked, who are they defending against? Where will you find a singular Israeli soldier in Lebanon? Finkelstein is no critic, he is a terrorist sympathizer.
