As a student at DePaul, you hear all about the Vincentian mission which is centered around "serving urgent human needs" and "ennobling the God-given dignity of each person." I feel that part of that mission includes fighting and bringing light to the struggle of those people who are being oppressed.

This was one of the main reasons I chose DePaul. I hope to fight repression throughout my legal career. I hope to bring greater social justice and equality to those people who are being oppressed by the rampant and institutional racism and discrimination and greed that are the fabric of our world. I was inspired by DePaul's mission and thought the school was a good fit.

Unfortunately, its easy to say one thing, yet do another. DePaul was scared. Scared to stand by its own mission. Scared to stand by a man who has tried to bring light to one of the worst human crises today: the brutal and racist occupation of Palestine.

I can't claim to be surprised, after dealing with the issue of Palestine and the DePaul administration last fall, that Professor Norman Finkelstein has been denied tenure. Despite whatever reason he may have been given by DePaul, we all know what really happened: the school bowed to Zionist pressures and didn't stand by its own mission. I admit I had hoped for the best, that the school would stand up for a professor many students admire and not bow under pressure. But the University has failed Finkelstein and it failed me.

De paul had proven themselves to be a propaganda organization and should be sued for false advertising themselves.

If Finkelstein were the equivelent of Duke or Irving, then how come his book Beyond Chutzpah was peer reviewed 6 times before being printed by the University of California? Please grow up and stop with the out right falsehoods (Finkelstein is a holocaust denier, etc) Check out his appearance on Iranian TV (www.youtube.com/watch part 2 of 5, watch all of them) He asks this holocaust denier lady if she also believes in the easter bunny.

Thanks for pointing out this video. It's interesting that Finkelstein counts with the admiration of the most disgusting Revisionists out there.

I guess a man of such presumed august stature as a "holocaust survivor" and a "Nobel Prize" winner is beyond criticism, even ridicule. But, no he is not.

Ellie Wiesel is chief among the proprietors of the Holocaust Industry, as Finkelstein has shown. His status as Holocaust "survivor" is used to justify Israeli terror against the Palestinians, with Wiesel taking the high road sometimes deploring violence, but always backing firm Iraeli measures to protect the presumed holy nation, the Jewish security state. To call him a "clown," is to yank the halo from the head of the man who backs Murder, Inc. (Israel Division)

As for the Nobel Peace Prize, another recipient of that honor is the war criminal Henry Kissinger. Case closed.

You can't blame the university because,they don't want to start a war on their campus or in the courts! This guy they rejected is just one individual battling a powerful,well financed lobby and so his prospects are dim but his determental effects on the university threatens to be very costly!

DePaul University has betrayed its professed committment to critical inquiry and academic freedom. But count on this, it's not over til its over.

We are fighting fascism both in the US and Palestine and that fascism is brought to us by the same US government, courtesy US tax dollars. The censorship of Norman Finklestein is the same as the anti-communist witchhunts of the 1950s which destroyed the labor movement and was the beginning of the decline of the US school system, which now is one of the worst in the industrialized world. It is of course labor that fought for the public schools. Education is the great equalizer and when the school system is attacked by any political witchhunt, opportunities for the workingclass are diminished. I realize this is a Christian university, but the principle applies to all schools as the Zionists are terrorizing not only the entire school system but everything in this society, as pawns of US imperialism of course. Anyone who speaks out against these Nazi USA collaborators, just as their predecessors collaborated with Nazi Germany, that anti-Zionist spokesperson is targeted for retaliation, including job loss and career loss, if possible. The Zionists are the thugs for the capitalist class so that class can maximize its oil and munitions profits in this society which has been a war economy since December 7, 1941. Nazi Germany was also a war economy. That stinking hellhole finally was defeated by the Red Army, which was first to arrive in Berlin. The US economy and society in general are so rotten, they barely function. From the non-existent free (income tax funded) national healthcare system, for which most people either have no insurance or grossly inadequate insurance, to the rotten school system which is closing its doors to the workingclass with phony testing programs which cause the workingclass to drop out of school, and those schools were rotten guaranteeing low test scores, to serious funding cuts of affordable housing budgets to the complete lack of a serious national free (income tax funded) public transportation system, to a growing prison system and continued use of the death penalty, to grossly inadequate wages, this whole horror show mandates a national general strike with all deliberate speed. To Norman Finklestein: SUE THE BASTARDS NOW! History is with us; we shall win!
For those who have a hard time understanding the Zionists as Nazi collaborators (and also, anti-communist supporters of the US capitalist class' murder of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg on June 19, 1953 for the contrived crime of "conspiracy to commit atomic espionage" of which they were innocent), read:

Letter from Francis Boyle: De Paul & Dershowitz v. Finkelstein
To the Editor:
I think I have read almost every book Professor Norman Finkelstein has written. He is on my
"automatic buy" list along with Noam Chomsky and a handful of others. Professor Finkelstein is
an outstanding scholar who has had and will continue to have a momentous impact on Middle
East Studies.
It is a disgrace that DePaul University--which purports to be Catholic--succumbed to political
pressure and inflicted this grave injustice upon Professor Finkelstein at the behest of Alan
Derhsowitz and his Neo-Conservative confederates.
As for Dershowitz, he is a self-incriminated war criminal who publicly admitted that he serves
on a Mossad Committee that authorizes the murder and assassination of Palestinians, which
constitutes a grave violation of the Geneva Conventions and thus a serious war crime.
Dershowitz is also infamous around the world for being this country\'s foremost advocate for
torture.
In my opinion it is Professor Finkelstein who far better represents the real values and ethos of
the Jewish People. In any event, it is a shame that the University named after St. Vincent DePaul
has allied itself with Dershowitz against the courageous Norman Finkelstein. Unlike
Dershowitz, Professor Finkelstein has always spoken the Truth to those in Power. By
comparison, Dershowitz is nothing more than an Errand Boy for those in Power. But as St.
Vincent DePaul University should have understood: "You shall know the Truth, and the Truth
shall set you free!"

What a prime example of the long-arm of AIPAC. How ironic, too. One imagines Germans of good conscience in the Reich and being dogged by academic pitbulls like Herr Dershowitz, accusing critics of being "anti-German" and biased, foolish, etc. Only now it's Israel uber alles.

I hope this starts a much-needed backlash against thugs who equate America with Israel. Sharon is no more like Seinfeld than Goebbes was like Clark Gable.

Enough! Maybe it's time for the world to move Israel to Antarctica so everyone, including Jews, can live in peace wherever they want.

Actually it's high time Israelis recognize that they will have to live with the Palestinians and that historic injustices done to the Palestinian people must be rectified. And that requires an end to the occupation, recognition of the right of Palestinians lving in exile to return home, and the dismantling of the current apartheid state machinery in favor a genuine democratic society where Arabs and Jews can live in absolute equality.

Thats nice, but thats nothing even similar to what the Palestinians are saying. Lets not be naive.

It seems that the reason cited for dismissing Finkelstein was sexism. I have not seen this issue brought forward in this forum. The article (from the profesor's website) speaks about charges of sexism from colleagues; however, I have heard an account from a close friend of Finkelstein engaging in unappropriate behavior toward her. Thus, the question emerges: if these allegations are true is it still right to give hime tenure, even if he is sexist? Can we draw a line between professor and the man?

Finkelstein’s Sexism
By Alan M. Dershowitz

So now it turns out that the martyr of the academic hard left, Norman Finkelstein, was denied tenure at DePaul University not so much because of my critique of his non-scholarship, but in large part because of his overt sexism.

According to a news story in today’s Chicago Sun-Times, a report filed against his tenure by three members of the Political Science faculty “claims that Finkelstein allegedly called a female staff member a ‘bitch.’” The report also claimed that Finkelstein “shunned” colleagues who disagreed with him and that his boorish conduct extended to “dramatically closing his office door when his colleague arrives.” In addition to describing his abusive sexist behavior toward a subordinate, the report characterized Finkelstein as “mean spirit” and as “unprofessional.”



This negative report was suppressed by Finkelstein supporters who leaked other, more favorable assessments.



Finkelstein refused to comment on the newly disclosed report, just as he refused to confirm or deny that he had arranged for a neo-Nazi cartoonist to draw a picture of me masturbating in ecstatic joy at dead Lebanese civilians. He did apparently demand that the authors of the negative report provide “proof” of his use of the b-word against a subordinate, but that is his usual way of issuing a non-denial denial.



So in addition to being a Jewish anti-Semite, Finkelstein now emerges as a left wing sexist bigot who is willing to use abusive words to a subordinate. Will he still remain the darling of the hard Left now that this darker sexist side has emerged?

Finkelstein’s Sexism?

Using the word 'bitch'?

Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.

Hang it up, Al.
