Is a Palestinian State A Real Threat To The State Of Israel?

Once again Tom Feeley of the Information Clearing House highlights a video clip of an interesting question and answer session back in 1989 (kudos to CubsWinBearsRule for the clip).

Wolf Blitzer and Norman G. Finkelstein are asked the following questions:
