"But if we accept an entire population is possessed of a singular, diabolic plan..."

Thanks for this article.
I'd just like to point out that nobody, least of all Finkelstein, purports to speak for or about "an entire population". His criticisms, like those of many other observers of the occupying Israeli state--both in and outside Israel--are of the government and its policies and actions. I think you may have tried to make this point in your article, but I'm not sure it comes through as loud and clear as it should.

It really is a crucial distinction, and one the Israeli government would perhaps like to blur since it lends credence to accusations of anti-semitism toward those who have frank criticisms of the state and its actions.
