"(Finkelstein is) the most openly anti-Semitic Jew on the planet. DePaul employs Finkelstein as an assistant professor in political science, after Finkelstein got fired from two New York-area adjunct teaching jobs (at New York Uiversity and Hunter College) because of his pseudo-scholarship and fraudulent rantings against Jews and Israel.
Finkelstein is a disciple of Holocaust denier David Irving and claims Irving is an authoritative historian. Finkelstein refers to the six million Jews murdered by the Nazis as the "Six Million" in quotation marks, and says that nearly every Holocaust survivor is a fraud, a thief and a liar. (Finkelstein's own parents are Holocaust survivors and Finkelstein has long tried to capitalize on this as a way to legitimize his own anti-Semitism. The psychiatry department at Depaul might have interesting things to say about this.)
Finkelstein routinely libels Holocaust survivor, philosopher and writer Elie Wiesel in scurrilous terms. Finkelstein is the star on every Holocaust denial neo-Nazi web site on earth, serving as the "Jew who proved there was never any Holocaust." He has been denounced as a fraud and anti-Semite by Alan Dershowitz, by historian Daniel Jonah Goldhagen, by Dennis Prager, by Professor Omer Bartov, by the World Jewish Congress, and by just about everyone else on earth, gentile or Jew. The New York Times compared Finkelstein's book to the old czarist forgery The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, ever popular with Saudis and Counterpunch columnists. Last year, Alan Dershowitz made wienerschnitzel out of Finkelstein in a public debate. So, naturally, Norman Finkelstein recently became the poster boy for the anti-Semites over at Counterpunch.
