Jewish Revisionist Denied Tenure

by Ian Mosley

If you think the establishment treats ordinary, garden variety 
academic Revisionists and other heretics rough, just ask Professor 
Norman Finkelstein what happens when a Jew breaks ranks on the 
Holocaust. Yahoo News reports that

"A DePaul University professor who has accused some Jews of 
improperly using the legacy of the Holocaust to get compensation 
payments has been denied tenure after a drawn-out public fight. 
Norman Finkelstein, whose work led to a long-running public feud with 
a Harvard law professor and lawyer famous for representing O.J. 
Simpson, said he was disappointed by the faculty panel's 4-3 decision.

'They can deny me tenure, deny me the right to teach,' the 
53-year-old told the Chicago Sun-Times. 'But they will never stop me 
from saying what I believe.'"

Well, Norm, now you know how David Irving and David Duke have been 
feeling for years.

Finkelstein drove world Jewry insane with his first book questioning 
the whole Holocaust myth and pointing out, cogently and accurately, 
that the whole Holocaust is in fact nothing but a fraud designed to 
create an endless flow of sympathy and reparations dollars to world 
Jewry. Now he's done it again.

The Yahoo article tells us: "Finkelstein's most recent book, Beyond 
Chutzpah: On the Misuse of Anti-Semitism and the Abuse of History, is 
largely an attack on Alan Dershowitz's The Case for Israel. In it, 
Finkelstein argues Israel uses the outcry over perceived 
anti-Semitism as a weapon to stifle criticism. Dershowitz, who 
threatened to sue the book's publisher for libel, has urged DePaul 
officials to reject Finkelstein's tenure bid."

Dershowitz, the Harvard Law professor best known for his advocacy of 
legalized torture for "terrorists" (never mind the fact the 
definition of terrorist may soon include thought crimes) isn't even 
fully satisfied with the denial of Finkelstein's tenure. He's now 
ranting and raving because the vote to deny wasn't unanimous. Back to 
Yahoo:

"'This should not have been a close case,' he said in an e-mail 
Sunday. 'Finkelstein's only academic output is ad hominem attacks on 
ideological enemies. Š The only reason this appeared close was 
because outsiders from the hard left mounted a political campaign on 
his behalf.'"

Yahoo goes on: "The debate over his tenure raised the ire of many in 
academic and religious circles, and blogs and petitions that both 
support and deride him have appeared on the Internet. On his Web site 
Sunday, Finkelstein posted a letter explaining why the panel denied 
him tenure at the Catholic university.  The three-page note cites 
Finkelstein's 'deliberately hurtful' scholarship along with his lack 
of involvement with the school and his tendency for public clashes 
with other scholars."

So, from now on academics can't engage in any scholarship that 
"hurts" someone? Or is it just scholarship that "hurts" Jews? What 
about scholarship that "hurts" Germans or Englishmen or Roman 
Catholics? (Silly me, we all know the answer to that one.)

The Yahoo article continues "The son of Holocaust survivors, 
Finkelstein earned his doctorate from Princeton in 1988. He published 
five books and taught political theory at DePaul since 2001, school 
officials said. University spokeswoman Denise Mattson said Sunday 
that Finkelstein's teaching term expires next June, but he can elect 
to leave his post immediately."

Boy, they're really giving this dissident the bum's rush.

But you know, it's an odd thing about Holocaust revisionism and 
criticism of the Jews. For all their immense power, world Jewry 
simply can't seem to put a stop to it. Every time they hammer down a 
David Irving or a Frederick Toben or a Robert Faurisson, someone else 
pops up -in this case a Jew questioning the Holocaust. It's like the 
little Dutch boy who put his finger in the dike, except that the dike 
keeps springing leak after leak. Eventually it becomes impossible to 
plug all the leaks, just as it's becoming impossible to keep the 
truth sealed up and buried as they've tried to do since the end of 
World War Two.
