Norman Finkelstein compared to violent shirtless man making grunting noises

A current post at the MPAC-UK site features one of the goofiest things I've seen there, which is saying quite a bit: a YouTube video of Norman Finkelstein making supposedly devastating points in a debate with Alan Dershowitz. Scenes of the debate alternate with scenes of Bruce Lee delivering decisive blows to bad guys. Here's the link. I'm not going to embed the thing in this post. MPAC's title: "Finkelstein wins Dershowitz debate - Bruce Lee style!" Everyone sing and grunt along:

Everybody was Nakba-sparring
It was a little bit jarring
It was quite misleading
It was done with special pleading

There was little Normie Fink
And little Allie Dersh
They said, "My historical sources
are more mainstream than yours."
It's a secondary source and everybody took the course
A well-sourced attack, right off the tenure track

Everybody was Nakba-sparring
It was a little bit jarring
It was quite misleading
It was done with special pleading
