DePaul University canceled courses taught by Norman Finkelstein, the controversial political science professor known for his forthright criticism of Israel, just a week before classes resumed in June. Finkelstein, who taught at DePaul for six years, was denied tenure at the Chicago school but permitted to teach for the one year remaining on his contract. In late August, however, the university… return to article

Reader Comments (6)Page 1 of 1 pagesInteresting article. For readers interested in reading about Mr. Finkelstein you could also try reading an article from the other side (and then deciding for yourself who is right). Steven Plaut, from FrontPageMag, is definitely right-wing. But at least he provides specifics and links to other info. Nobody should ever be worried about reading both sides of an argument (unless, of course, you could be wrong).

Posted by readallsides on Sep 11, 2007 at 11:58 AM I read right wing plus Jewish World Review each day.
Ann Coulter etc.I seek to understand but TRUTH is number one.
I witnessed it with my own eyes. Yet, I write on it and get zapped from forums.
Gorby let Jews emigrate to Israel.
Communities were built on the West Bank for them.Youngsters protested in the streets of the West Bank.
They did not bomb or shoot.
They threw sticks and stones
They were killed with real bullets. I saw it.
It was on TV each night.
my memory told me the number killed was over 600 when the Cameras were removed so I could not view the slaughter..
600 and how many familes were hurt
It hurt to watch Jewish kids get killed by bombs..
I am zapped for presenting what I conisdered to be a children slaughter.
It was awful.
Spin that.

Maybe those links above would work better. Probably important to know exactly what kinds of things the ex-assistant professor said. And why DePaul, and every other college where he was employed previously, canned the guy.
Posted by readallsides on Sep 12, 2007 at 5:29 PM Neither of your citations refer to the links included. “Maybe those links above would work better”...if they actually worked.
Posted by Major Major on Sep 15, 2007 at 10:34 PM Looks like FrontPageMag doesn’t like hot links (seems a little suspicious). Try googling it if you want to read the various articles by Plaut on Finkelstein. Pretty easy to find.
Or just look up any Neo-Nazi website, he’s quoted pretty extensively by them for obvious reasons. Same with Anti-Jewish Islamic websites. It’s fairly obvious why Salim likes the guy and why, of course, DePaul was the latest university to fire the nutjob.
Posted by readallsides on Sep 17, 2007 at 11:14 AM “Readallsides” is only interested in smearing Dr. Finkelstein, and not interested in Finkelstein’s “side” whatsoever.
The “nutjob” has exposed the constant stream of Zionist lies, such as those regularly appearing on your reactionary “Frontpage” magazine, home of neocon lunatics, and armchair war criminals.
Apparently, he/she’s one of them.
