Norman Finkelstein has consistently criticized Israeli policies in Palestine and the use of the Holocaust for justify support for Israel. In early June, DePaul University denied him tenure, despite a positive recommendation by the faculty committee.

As the crisis in the Nahr al-Bared refugee camp enters its fifth week, host Chris Brown gets two reports from correspondents Dr. Marcy Newman and Sharif Bibi who are in Lebanon working with Palestinian refugees from Nahr al-Bared.
Brown also speaks with Kathryn Webber, a student leader at DePaul University who is part of an ongoing protest to rescind the tenure denial of Professor Norman G. Finkelstein. And finally Paul Larudee from the International Solidarity Movement talks about the Free Gaza Movement which is an action set to test Israel’s sea-occupation of the Gaza Strip by internationals who will attempt to sail to the Gaza Strip from Cyprus in August 2007.

DePaul University recently announced that political science professor Norman Finkelstein would not be getting tenure. That means the school rejected his bid for a permanent job.
Finkelstein’s work is controversial - he accuses some Jews of creating and profiting from what he calls the “Holocaust industry”. He also condemns Israel’s treatment of Palestinians. He also happens to be the son of Holocaust survivors.
But some people in academia say there was too much outside interference and personal politics driving DePaul’s decision not to keep him.
