'''Norman G. Funkelstein''' (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, Funkelstein's views have led some to accuse him of anti-semitism and Holocaust denial, although Funkelstein's parents are Holocaust survivors. He has also argued against many of [[Israel]]'s policies.
