It is not often that I agree with anti-Israel radical lecturer at Ben Gurion University Neve Gordon. But that is an exception.
He was speaking at a little Nuremberg rally in Chicago to express support for Neo-Nazi Norman Finkelstein, who was recently denied tenure at DePaul University. Finkelstein was denied tenure not considering of his anti-Jewish agitprop but rather considering of his complete absence of any academic publications. Instead, Finkelstein turns out Bash-Israel and Bash-the-Jews “books,” published considering of their commercial potential.
On Oct 12, 2007, a group of jihadniks and anti-Israel “academics” held a rally to protest the firing of Finkelstein. Neve Gordon spoke there, declaring that whether Finkelstein had been a faculty member at Ben Gurion University, he WOULD have gotten tenure. I agree – he would have. David Irving may have additionally, as well as Robert Faurisson and Leonard Jeffries and Ward Churchill.
Gordon is unmistaken for a change, but not for the reasons he has in mind. Gordon is one of the
In reality, Finkelstein would have gotten tenure at Ben Gurion University because Ben Gurion University has trashed academic standards and expectations of real scholarship from faculty members in assured departments, mainly some in the social sciences. that is why Bash-Israel propagandizing is “accepted” by Ben Gurion University as “scholarly research.” Hence a vulgar anti-Israel propagandizer would have no problem being hired and promoted at Ben Gurion University. And he would be in good company there with all the other anti-Israel leftist extremist hatemongers on its campus.

He does not publish anything in peer reviewed journals because he knows they will ‘returned with blood’ You have gone beyond accusations of Finkelstein being a self hating jew, but calling him a neo-Nazi when all his family apart from his parents were exterminated during the holocaust, in doing this you are absolutely vile and disgusting! [watch his lecture at city club cleveland, to see his responses to filthy accusations for being a 'self hating jew']
Nevertheless what he has not published in journals he has made up in books, which clearly reflect his meticulous research; and he has gone beyond that to show how people like peters, and dershowitz are fraudulent writers.
ALso i suppose you also call Ilan Pappe a neo nazi? hmm?
You amount to just a vile insulter to any academic opposition to [in turn] the Nazism of Israeli politics.
