'''Norman G. Finkelstein''' (born December 8, 1953) is the [[liberal]] author of ''The Holocaust Industry'', a book which takes some jewish institutions to task for seeking to profit from the [[Holocaust]]. While not denying that the Holocaust took place, Finkelstein's views have led some to accuse him of anti-semitism and Holocaust denial, although Finkelstein's parents are Holocaust survivors. He has also argued against many of [[Israel]]'s policies.

He was an assistant professor of political science at [[DePaul University]] until they denied him tenure in 2007, due to "unprofessional personal attacks [which] divert the conversation away from consideration of ideas, and polarize and simplify conversations that deserve layered and subtle consideration." <ref>[http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/06/10/america/NA-GEN-US-Professor-Tenure.php U.S. university denies tenure to professor who questioned Holocaust compensation]</ref>
