How to create a martyr in one easy step

Leading American dissident historian Norman Finkelstein talks to Haaretz after being refused entry to Israel due to “suspicions involving hostile elements in Lebanon”:

I did my best to provide absolutely candid and comprehensive answers to all the questions put to me. I am confident that I have nothing to hide. Apart from my political views, and the supporting scholarship, there isn’t much more to say for myself: alas, no suicide missions or secret rendezvous with terrorist organizations. I’ve always supported a two-state solution based on the 1967 borders. I’m not an enemy of Israel.
