Self-hating Jew Norman Finkelstein finds himself in a tenure battle at DePaul University. Dean Charles Suchar has recommended against tenure, claiming he found “the personal attacks in many of Dr. Finkelstein’s books to border on character assassination.” But Finkelstein doesn’t hold the university president or dean responsbile.

[Finkelstein] explained that since the fall the university has been “bombarded” with such pressure that it “had to make a choice between two disasters — deny me tenure and get outrage from students, or have me on the faculty for another 20 years and every month face another hysteria and claims that I am a Holocaust denier and a self-hating Jew. Between the short-term and the long-term disasters, it was prudent to go for the short-term disaster.”

I wonder why anybody would think Finkelstein is a Holocaust denier and a self-hating Jew.

Norman G. Finkelstein’s book, “The Holocaust Industry,” alleges that Jewish leaders have exploited the Holocaust for profit…

Let’s say an academic wrote a book about how the black community exploited slavery for profit and political gain. Do you think he would tenure at a major university?
