But when he's speaking to a Western audience like your program, he likes to appear to be humane, even a little bit impish, a little bit cherubic.
He has a little smile and a laugh.
So he is a moving target.
I have asked him on several occasions.
I have written more than 50 pages because I've read everything you've ever written multiple times.
Just answer me in print.
If I am misapprehending you, just what any scholar does, you reply.
He says he will answer me.
Right now, he'll probably say, oh, of course I'll answer Finkelstein.
But he never will.
So finally, you have to pull down the facade and expose somebody who on all political and ideological issues is indistinguishable from Daniela Weiss.
Well, let's start with the basics.
I usually start with international law.
And you'll forgive me if it sounds pedantic.
And as international law has become more and more marginalized, fewer and fewer people are believing in it.
But I still believe in its basic precepts.

That's the first precept for me, or foundation stone for me.
The ICJ... Hamas disarming.
He asked you about Hamas and Assam.
