Norman G. Finkelstein (born December 8, 1953) is the author of The Holocaust Industry, a book which takes Jews to task for making such a big deal about the Holocaust. While not actually denying that the Holocaust took place, Finkelstein wishes Jews would just shut up about it. He says Israel is just as bad as its enemies, if not more so, accusing them of such atrocities as torturing suspected terrorists.
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." [1]
He was placed on (paid) academic year for the final year of his university contract.
according to university president Dennis Holtschneider, Finkelstein's
