Breaking - DePaul U. ends its disgrace in part; admitting no guilt.
Well, Alan Dershowitz's campaign to prevent the publication of Beyond Chutzpah: On the Misuse of Anti-Semitism and the Abuse of History failed, but his campaign to deny Finkelstein tenure succeeded.
No matter it's a big world, and the lies and militarism of Dershowitz and company are more clear than ever thanks to Finkelstein's work.
Smearing, the time-honored tactic of militarists, censors, and torture advocates ultimately dissipates in the light of truth.
Details coming at Norman Finkelstein.
From the International Herald Tribune:
Finkelstein, who is the son of Holocaust survivors, was denied tenure in June after spending six years on DePaul's faculty.
His remaining class was cut by DePaul last month.
His most recent book, "Beyond Chutzpah: On the Misuse of Anti-Semitism and the Abuse of History," is largely an attack on Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz's "The Case for Israel."
In his book, Finkelstein argues that Israel uses perceived anti-Semitism as a weapon to stifle criticism.Dershowitz, who threatened to sue Finkelstein's publisher for libel, urged DePaul officials to reject Finkelstein's tenure bid.
Finkelstein said in the statement that he believes the tenure decision was "tainted" by external pressures, but praised the university's "honorable role of providing a scholarly haven for me the past six years."
