"Self-Hating Jew": Rhetorical Explanation, Circumstantial Ad Hominem

Norman Finkelstein is a well known critic of Israel and its policies towards the Palestinians. Because he himself is Jewish people accuse him of being a "self-hating" Jew.

The logic, or lack thereof, seems to be something like this:

P1: Finkelstein is a Jew.
P2: Anyone who opposes the State of Israel is anti-semetic.
_______________________________

C: Finkelstein is anti-semetic, i.e., a "self-hating jew."

Of course, this argument only goes through if one accepts the second premise which is precisely what is at issue. Put differently, the argument only goes through via circularity.

I'm including this as an example because of the unique clarity that Finkelstein displays in responding to the question as to whether or not he considers himself a "self-hating jew" (posed at 3:53). His direct response begins at: 7:05. Though his point is well made in the first clip the second clip from the beginning to 2:25 seals his case.
