No experts then eh?

Didn't think so.

Finkelstein is an impeccable researcher and academic whose accuracy and method have been proven time and time again at the highest and most rigorous level.

I have seen him say in an interview, when asked his opinion, that he did not see his opinion as important. His job as a researcher was to investigate the facts and present them accurately.

So I have no reason to doubt him.

If you doubt him, then it is up to you to go and verify his sources.

That is why he gives them, so that people can check them out if they doubt them.

That is how academic research works.

I don't doubt him, you do. So it is up to you to challenge him yourself if you wish to persist.

Til then, unless you have something else to add (like your alleged expert witnesses), his expert testimony stands as the authoritative view on this thread, not yours or teribus'.
