Good riddance to bad medicine.

Which honorable British university will establish for the fink a glorious chair in "Jewish Self-Hatred?

Finkelstein is a grade D researcher. I don't think I'd ever like his conclusions, but at least I might be able to respect him if he bothered trying to substantiate them.

... but Finkelstein is a laughable academic who should not get tenure at any research-oriented university. Why he was teaching at De Paul in the first place is a mystery.

Here is a list of Neo Nazi Groups that backup Finklstien: KKK Arayan Nations American Nazi Party National Alliance

I'M SURE IT WOULD BE WITH GREAT HONOR, A STUDENT GROUP AFFILIATED WITH UCSC INVITED HIM TO SPEAK IN TOWN LAST YEAR, THIS SELF-LOATHING JEW SPREADS HATRED AND LIES TO FOLKS ALL OVER

Think of it ,you can learn to be a histirian too!

Its not because of his political views. Its because of his academic dishonesty. Come on Ynet, you can do better than that!!!!!

I wish that they would just leave us alone and not bother in our political debates. move to Israel if you want to have a say in what Israel does

Finkelstein had made up his mind that Zionism (and Jews in general) were bad, and he was going to do anything possible to stop them. It's good to see that hatred fails sometimes.

Let's face it: America is one of the only countries where large numbers of people have common sense and know how to call a spade a spade. In Europe, this guy would have been given a coronation and been handed a scepter.

Don't worry. Noam Chomsky gets bashed all the time. He has his following among the effete pseudo-intellectuals and the Arabists, but overall, he's known for being a fraud and isn't respected.

Do you realize how idiotic you sound when you call him anti-semitic?

He has at times been interviewed by Lebanese / Arab and I think Iranian TV stations. Saw a despicable interview of him on I believe Lebanese TV .

getting your tenure application rejected by a bunch of chickenshits. To ynetnews.com, Finkelstein book is not "notorious", contrary to your cheap way of describing it, its credible, well read and well known. The title of "notorious" goes to your favrorite Jew, Dershowitz, who spearheads the Jews-for-torture crowd.

so Finkelstein tries to "do anything possible to stop " the jews??? stop them from what? how can ynet accept to show such idiotic messages? isn't it supposed to be a good paper? conclusion: talkbacks are maybe democratic, but they are only filled with assholes.

Finkelstein should be offered a position at an Israeli university, or possibily at an institution on the West Bank. That way he can judge Israeli policies from the inside, and possibly revise his previous statements to take new evidence into account. WELCOME FINKELSTEIN--PLEASE COME TO ISRAEL

rattle the chandeliers about how he was done in by the Israel lobby. He sucks and I wouldn't hire him to teach my dog tricks. DePaul made a great decision to keep from saddling itself with this looser. Kudos.

He is the son of holocaust survivors. He probably was filled with shame growing up, possibly listening to his parents and others talk about the holocaust. This is his reaction, albeit a disturbing one, to the environment in which he was raised. He is filled with hate towards the Jews and likely his parents. He wants to wash himself of the memory of the holocaust and to remove himself from being Jewish. It's sad. To be trapped in the body of such a self-hating person.

Alan Dershowitz is worst of the worst attack artists. interesting there is no room in American academia for a man to stand up for the dignity of his parents. Dershowitz is like GW Bush, everything he touches turns to salt. Dershowitz has more sides than a Rubrics cube. He is shameful vile man of narrow intellect, mind like dog in search of meat.

finkelstein wins the debates, dershowitz wins the battles & zion loses the wars

yes, he is the son of holocaust survivors but that doesn't mean he cannot be a self hating jew. a lot of jews are in fact anti israel and anti zionism and also loath the jews in general. look at noam chomsky. most of these degenerate pseudo intellectuals like to spit their own psychological venum and call it research based on facts. but it's not. it's usually a diatribe of self hate propaganda to serve their agendas of self hate and intollerance for the people from whence they came from. many jews after the holocaust were so very angry at "god" that they converted to christianity. maybe he is one of these jews?

maybe you should review your stupid comments here. dershowitz is one of the most brilliant legal minds of the century and a harvard law professor. sorry to dissapoint you and your barrage of hateful comments, but dershowitz is one heck of a brilliant jew and his stand with israel stance and purpose is based on knowing the historical facts, the issues of the middle east and the extensive research he has done through the years on the palestinian/israeli conflict and political situation in the middle east. unlike you and your comments, which say only that you have zilch to offer, you do not stand a chance against a brilliant brain this jewish man possesses.

You are correct. Harvard is not the university it once was. They even have an English course titled "The Literature of Money."

All of these talkbacks, I wonder how many have ever actually read or attended a course of his. I don't think he ever said the Holocaust never happened but that the Holocaust keeps getting used to justify anything the Jews do. It's kind of the same vitriol I heard over Jimmy Carter's latest book, however, I read it, and it in fact made a ton of sense to me. In America, it is plain that there is a lot of Jewish investment in deciding America's outcome when it comes to our relationship with Israel. Not saying it's a bad thing, just that it is. The problem is that the normal populace doesn't know about it that much.

Indeed most of the people attacking Finkelstein have probably not read a word of his books, but as with many issues to do with Judaism/Israel they simply close ranks when they think that someone's ideas are not in accordance with what they think the world should know about Judaism/Israel. The fact that most of the talkbacks here are simply ignorant attacks and do not deal with the underlying issues is very typical of the standard of debate [sic] on these pages. As for freedom of speech, the freedom to analyse and draw conclusions from the hard evidence, this is not something which modern Zionists respect. They only seem to respect research or published works which back up their own prejudices. You are right about the vitriol over Jimmy Carter's book - the man who almost single-handedly brought peace to the Middle East has been the victim of a horrendous amount of vitriolic criticism - and of course accusations of anti-semitism. Absolute and total nonsense. It's just that in our world at the moment, we are not expected to speak of human rights, or the holocaust industry, because the great unwashed lumpenproletariat reactionary forces of US Zionism immediately reach for their rubber mallets and try to silence differences of opinion.

hE DOES'T NEED THE JOB, HE CAN APPLY FOR COMPENSATION AS A SECOND GENERATION HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR.
