	Norman Finkelstein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The son of Holocaust survivors, Finkelstein is known for his writings pertaining to the behaviour of the state of Israel, especially in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and for his view that the Holocaust is being exploited for personal financial gain and pro-Israel political ends.
		Finkelstein wrote his doctoral thesis on Zionism, and it was through this work that he first attracted controversy.
		Finkelstein says that he relies on the work of Raul Hilberg for historical facts about the Holocaust, and on the basis of that research Finkelstein quotes the numbers of Holocaust Jewish victims killed as being 5.1 million [13].

	Dershowitz-Finkelstein affair - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Finkelstein suggests that this copying of quotations amounts to copying ideas, and plagiarism is defined as "passing off a source's information, ideas, or words as your own by omitting to cite them." [3].
		Norman Finkelstein attempts to debunk The Case for Israel in his book Beyond Chutzpah: On the Misuse of Anti-Semitism and the Misuse of History, which was published by University of California Press on August 28, 2005.
		Finkelstein described this latter claim as false and inept, writing that the only work by Kant in Yiddish owned by the library is a partial translation of the Critique of Practical Reason, a completely different work than the one referred to by Wiesel and Dershowitz.

	Unplugged Mike: Norman Finkelstein at Columbia
		Finkelstein quoted at length from the International Court of Justice's opinion to back his assertion that there was nothing controversial about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, because of the agreement of all 15 judges that Israel was in contravention of international law.
		Finkelstein's most outrageous rhetoric came in this section of the program, where he made the totally unsupported and false accusation that it was now common for critics of Israel to be referred to as Holocaust deniers, and that he thought that soon, Holocaust epithets would enter the slang lexicon, such as "mother-Holocauster" and the like.
		Finkelstein did not tell the audience that Dershowitz's argument was not based on the assessments of human rights organizations based on the controversial discipline of international law, but was a relativistic argument based on the reality of conflict and the comparison of the conflict to other situations both past and present.

		Other Finkelstein generalizations are as absurd as they are sweeping, and do a great disservice to the serious and enlightening scholarship that has been produced by Holocaust writers over the past 40 years.
		Finkelstein is quick to remind us of his credentials as a child of survivors.
		In the end, Finkelstein acknowledges the "staggering dimensions of Hitler's Final Solution," seeking merely to restore the phenomenon "as a rational subject of inquiry." But what we have here, ultimately, is a rather rancid settling of personal and ideological scores.

		Finkelstein views the total assimilation of the Zionist state into American international security arrangements and the "strategic alliance" between the USA and Israel as a decisive factor.
		Finkelstein says that he wrote his new book, "to revolt" against and to "settle accounts with" the Holocaust industry, which he says has corrupted his memory of his parents, both of whom themselves survived the Holocaust.
		Despite these events, Finkelstein notes that Israel is still capable of casting itself as the victim of Arab hatred and terrorism, the reason lying in its efficient manipulation of the global media, and particularly in its exploitation of its image as victim-state.

	Book review - 'The Holocaust Industry' by Dr. Norman Finkelstein

		How Norman Finkelstein must have groaned when he read the words of Hadassah Lieberman, wife of the Democratic vice presidential nominee, as she addressed a crowd of Democratic Party supporters at the War Memorial in Tennessee earlier this month.
		For Finkelstein, such cavalier inaccuracies and holier-than-thou allusions are classic outgrowths of a phenomenon that has transformed the Nazi atrocities against the Jews of Europe into a largely American-driven myth designed to serve the narrow interests of homegrown Jewish elites.
		Echoing points made by Novick, Finkelstein argues that Jews were more concerned about integrating fully into American life than about harping on a dreadful historical episode that would set them apart both as an ethnic group outside the mainstream and, worse, as victims.

		Whereas Finkelstein first got mostly negative and later mostly positive reviews in major European newspapers and magazines, and was given various opportunities to debate his adversaries, here he hardly got any reviews (in spite of the 250 review copies he helped his small publisher mail out to critics).
		Finkelstein's theory that the memory of the Nazi Holocaust is being abused for political, moral and financial flmail could only spring from a deep-rooted anti-Zionism and/or his own personal psychological problems, most American intellectuals silently seem to agree.
		Finkelstein, educated at Princeton and in Paris but now teaching his "comrades-students" about Marxism and Nazism as an adjunct political science professor at Hunter College in New York, is used to being trashed.

	An Interview with Norman Finkelstein

		Finkelstein is a professor of Political Science at DePaul University in Chicago and the author of the authoritative and controversial books Imagine and Reality of the Israel-Palestine Conflict and The Holocaust Industry.
		Finkelstein: A long new introduction in which I suggest a general framework for understanding Zionist/Israeli policy the past century, an essay comparing Israel’s strategy for the Occupied Territories with the South African Apartheid experience, and a critical analysis of a recent best-seller on the June 1967 war, which I think is mostly nonsense.

	CAMERA: Norman Finkelstein's Fraudulent Scholarship
		Finkelstein mockingly describes Wiesel as the “resident clown,” and charges he is responsible for creating a “meaningless version of the Nazi Holocaust” and for only exposing “genocides that serve the interest of the US and Israel” (Salon.com, Aug. 30, 2000).
		Finkelstein routinely calls those he disagrees with “frauds” labeling their work “hoaxes.” Alan Dershowitz, a renowned Harvard lawyer and author of the best selling book The Case for Israel, is his latest target.
		Finkelstein claims Dershowitz’s book is “sheer, unadulterated, complete, total, comprehensive, from beginning to end, from the first uppercase letter to the last period, a complete fraud” (March 8, 2005, lecture at the University of Illinois Law School).

	Jacket # 11 - Mark Scroggins - Review of Norman Finkelstein, Track
		Finkelstein is too serious, too Western a poet literally to base his practice on the shuffling of the numerical values attached to letters.
		Perhaps Finkelstein himself desires such freedom - freedom from titles, from numbering - but part of the pact in which his poetry engages is precisely to acknowledge the ultimate incoherence of pure freedom.
		For Finkelstein the trace of number, the doubled crucifix of the #, is the fingerprint of a deus absconditus.

		Finkelstein sounds like a typical human rights advocate, who under true Islam and true Christianity or true Judaism can not be tolerated, for he puts the human above the divine.

		Finkelstein has been declared by the Anti-Defamation League to be a Holocaust denier.
		Dershowitz recently revealed that Finkelstein’s own mother, whom Finkelstein proclaims as a Holocaust survivor when attacking Holocaust survivors and Jews, was in fact a collaborator with German nazis in World War II.

		Finkelstein also accused Dershowitz of trying to suppress his views on the grounds that he expressed surprise that a purportedly reputable publisher like University of California Press would associate itself with so unscholarly a work.
		Finkelstein quotes extensively from organizations such as Human Rights Watch, B'Tselem, Physicians for Human Rights, Amnesty, and the Public Committee against Torture which have long track records of bias and employing double standards in relation to Israel.
		Finkelstein had already assumed the role of a global cult figure among anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli groups prior to the publication of Beyond Chutzpa.

	Norman Finkelstein on The Holocaust Industry
		But Finkelstein makes clear that the Holocaust Industry is not about making sure that Nazi depravity is not forgotten — it is about extorting huge sums of money from Switzerland, Germany and any other country which can be tarred with the Nazi brush.
		And, as Finkelstein points out, the US refuses even to consider the question of compensation to African-Americans for having enslaved their ancestors, reduced them and their descendants to poverty and misery, and denied fl Americans their human rights during most of the history of the US.
		Finkelstein billed his book as "an exposé of the corruption of scholarship on the Israel-Palestine conflict," but essentially it is an attack on Dershowitz in general and his bestselling book, The Case for Israel, in particular, which Finkelstein describes as "among the most spectacular academic frauds ever published on the Israel-Palestine conflict."

	FrontPage magazine.com :: DeNial at DePaul -- the Thomas Klocek Affair by Steven Plaut
		Finkelstein was hired at the recommendation of the Political Science faculty after extensive reference checks and an evaluation of the quality of his teaching.
		Finkelstein has fulfilled his teaching responsibilities and presented his views at forums alongside other faculty who hold opinions that differ from his, thus contributing to the marketplace of ideas where concepts rise and fall on their merits.
		Given the sensitivity of the Church today to charges of anti-Semitism and the sincere attempts by the Vatican under the late John Paul II to atone for centuries of Church persecution of Jews, the employment of Finkelstein by DePaul as an "academic" is an open outrage and insult to the world, and especially to Catholics.

		www.independent.org/tii/content/pubs/review/books/tir63_finkel2.htm l Historian Norman Finkelstein, the son of Jewish Auschwitz survivors, argues that the holocaust has been hijacked for political and economic purposes with the help of international bullying by the United States.
		The gravamen of Finkelstein's argument, which is shared by an increasing number of Jews and others worldwide, is that "the current campaign of the Holocaust Industry to extort money from Europe in the name of 'needy Holocaust victims' has shrunk the moral status of martyrdom to that of a Monte Carlo casino" (p.
		Finkelstein notes that the threat of indiscriminate, ad hominem slanders for alleged anti-Semitism has long been an effective deterrent to the public discussion of Holocaust Industry issues, which may help to explain the lack of a robust economic literature in this area.
