"Both movements are based on a cult of murderous violence that exalts death and destruction and despisesthe life of the mind. ... Both are hostile to modernity (except when it comes to the pursuit of weapons), and both are bitterly nostalgic for past empires and lost glories.
Both are obsessed with real and imagined 'humiliations' and thirsty for revenge."
marmite400 - I go to DePaul and I am actually really offended by your comment. To condemn all of DePaul by the actions of a few people in power is unfair.
@tlydon2 The actions of a few speak for many in a University setting. I too think very little of DePaul for their treatment of Mr. Finkelstein. Zionism was born in Chicago and will hopefully perish in Chicago.
For what sin does he require absolution? Any human being with any semblance of morality would naturally agree with him. Israel and it's agents, partners, and sympathizers are the ones who require absolution. This is not possible however, unless they make a 180 degree turn and atone for their sins.
@samirshuman just curious how people who protest against zionist violence against Palestinian civilians are immediately labeled as antisemites and Holocaust deniers if they are non Jews or as traitors if they are Jews
But Norman's family suffered in the Shoah as mine, and Im for preace and againts agression to the Palestinians
look up a youtube video called "a jewish defector warns america" this is a fantastic history lesson in the form of a speech from 1962 by Benjamin Freedman.
I'm from Brazil and have learned a lot about the conflict in that region from Mr. Finkelstein. I find incredible that a nation like the United States, allegedly a democracy, cannot allow this man to get his tenure, being he such a great scholar. That's shameful! Certainly, he'll be recognized in the future for his intellectual honesty and his courage.
Reinstate Norman!

The only reason Muslim's believe in martyrdom and Jihad is because they have nothing better to believe.

@TheFabdulla The reason Muslim belive and adhere to Jihad is because infidels like to invade, rape and plunder other people's lands.
When humanity will stop invading and stealing lands then Muslims will stop with man vs man jihad.

Viva Norman! He is an intellectual titan who will be absolved by history.

@AndrewMann552 Goody-two-shoes Finkelstein woudn't break the law, it seems.
Good for him.
I on the other hand would gladly break the law to survive.
I would steal an apple if my child was starving.
Sorry Finkyboy I'm with Israel on trying to survive the Arabs.
