Norman Finkelstein stumbled on this passage in the new book by Aaron David Miller: ""The world or Arabs and Israelis was really not my world. That I had run into Jordan's King Hussein wearing blue jeans at a suburban Washington theater, watching Sean Connery in The Rock or that his son Abdullah was a Star Trek fan (he actually appeared in a Next Generation episode), with videos lining the shelves of his office in Amman to prove it, didn't mean much" (Aaron David Miller, The Much Too Promised Land, p. 43)."
