Unfortunately - and this is the real tragic of the whole story -
Finkelstein would be the much better person to challenge your point of
view gone academe now - than Horowitz with his whole troops of
assistents and students will ever be able to. Strange to watch people
discuss that he shouldn't be considered a Jew anymore.

The problem with conspiracy - I don't quite remember your exact
"differentiation" here, was it facts vs fiction?, they were valid
though - is that it suffers from the same fatal flaw as history, it's
closely connected to tale and fiction ever since Herodot, in the big
ocean of possiblities.

To not go into the details, that yes, guite possibly we have to
develop nets in which real conspiracies can be caught, but much of
what seems to be indeed might be just sytemic, we are all part of it.
