Why can’t he go to his office? Paranoia?
Seems to boil down to this: “some Jews have exploited the Holocaust”
“Some” have.
Climatologists take note.
Isn’t he the one who spoke at an anti-Israel rally yelling “We’re all Hamas!”?
Hmmmm... I don’t know the background on this but something came to mind when reading it. Supposedly, this issue is about him writing that some Jews have made an industry out of exploiting the Holocaust... wouldn’t that be about the same as Ann Coulter’s Jersey Girls comment?
It doesn’t deny the holocaust (9/11) took place just that some Jews (Jersey Girls) have exploited it.
What don’t I know about this guy?
just from reading that little snipet, he seems to have a point. i’m jewish by heritage. i don’t practice, never have. i’m not touching this story. my views might not be taken too kindly, and i like being a member of FR.
When they make a movie of this, they can call it, “Fear and Self-Loathing in Chicago.”
The guy’s view is that Jews have exploited the Holocaust to defend Israel’s right to exist. He thinks that’s a bad thing. I’m scratching my head trying to figure out just what is wrong with justifying Israel’s existence with reference to the massacre of half the world’s Jews. Isn’t the point of nationalism that every nation should have its own country? The Arabs have many countries. Shouldn’t the Jews have one as well?
The University should ignore him. Assuming his office has not been reassigned to someone else, make sure the office door has a solid core and a new lock, then close and lock it, and ignore him.
See how long he stands outside the office door waiting for someone to let him in.
Oh, how will life go on without this tool teaching these clearly valuable courses? Freedom is empowering? Gee, I think I need 4 months of lectures on this before I can really grasp the concept.
More evidence that most college education is about the biggest fraud and waste of money in the world today...
It's called criminal tresspass. And you have all the academic freedom in the world here, go see if you can teach along with the Iranian cited "scholar" David Duke. THIS university does not owe you a podium.
Ahhhh another fine example in America from the bastions of free thought and open mindedness!
Seems Finkelstein is exploiting the Holocaust as well.
I notice a lot of Holocaust deniers are in academia. Norm Finkelstein and Noam Chomsky come to mind.
How does this work? Can anyone teach a class at the CPL? I have in mind a class I would call "Academic A$$hole$." I could probably have it ready in a week or two.
