Thank you for looking in sis...Hey there Niteflyer. Thank you for looking in sista.<BR/><BR/>Finkelstein is an amazing academic and respected for his scholarly work but that was not enough to get him tenure at Depaul.<BR/><BR/>He was fired last year and his works removed from the school's library because of his outspoken criticism of Israel.<BR/><BR/>Finkelstein like Ward Churchill found American academia to be less than open to dissent inside its halls.<BR/><BR/>Chomsky and others tried to intervene and stop Finkelstein from being fired but to no avail.<BR/><BR/>A real shame.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, just a little more on a very principled intellectual.<BR/><BR/>Peace to you,<BR/>RidwanRidwanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758153484699728802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36009958.post-35196842188593101942009-01-24T22:03:00.000+02:002009-01-24T22:03:00.000+02:00cool & thanks for the links. i saw it first on...cool & thanks for the links. <BR/><BR/>i saw it first on Bill Bowles' site <I>Creative-i</I> (formerly <I>Investigating New Imperialism</I> or, <B>I 'n I</B>) - a prolific writer who also has a newsletter subscription <B>http://www.creative-i.info/?p=4124</B><BR/><BR/>I hadn't known of Finkelstein until this photo essay actually and am now listening to this audio talk of his... interesting argument on how the international community can help the Palestinian cause. <BR/><B>http://www.normanfinkelstein.com/article.php?pg=11&ar=1464</B><BR/><BR/>He argues essentially for doing what Zionists have successfully done since the 40's - using paper victories (World court rulings) to mobilise and to effect political victories for Palestinians. <BR/><BR/>He also seems to be an important voice on the Holocaust Industry and am keen now to read this book <I>Beyond Chutzpah - On the Misuse of Anti-Semitism and the Abuse of History.</I>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
