I just watched the Finkelstein RT interview and don't know if this has
come up here but he appears to be taking the term "lunatic state" from
Israeli policymakers themselves. Does anyone know where he got this?

Of course, Israel in part wants to convey the fact that it is out of
control. For example after the Gaza massacre, several Israeli
officials said that the reason they carried on the way they did in
Gaza was because they wanted to show that they are capable of acting
like a mad dog and capable of acting like a lunatic state. But the
question now is... are they only "acting" like a mad dog and a lunatic
or have they really "become" a lunatic?

charge of fascism racism and genocide ?
