DePaul's holocaust minimizer Norman Finkelstein coming to Harvard, home of Alan Dershowitz

A Harvard group called Justice for Palestine, has invited DePaul Political Science Professor Norman Finkelstein to Harvard University to speak there on November 3.

There appears to be no relation to this group and Students for Justice in Palestine. The latter group has a DePaul University chapter.

There's a lot to read about here, courtesy of the Harvard Law School Record.

Here is an excerpt:

Which brings us to Finkelstein's second line of writing. Along with his Holocaust/ Shakedown pieces, Finkelstein writes books whose primary object is to analogize Israelis to Nazis. A sample Finkelstein witticism: "I can't understand why Israel's apologists would be offended by a comparison with the Gestapo. I would think that, for them, it is like Lee Iacocca being told that Chrysler is using Toyota tactics."

Hat tip to Sol at Solomonia.

Finkelstein appearing on college campuses is nothing new peddling his latest book is nothing new. What makes this visit interesting is that he'll be speaking at Harvard University, where noted attorney Alan Dershowitz is a law professor.

The two of them have been feuding for years.

Finkelstein, as you'll read here, has been called a holocaust denier by the Anti-Defamation League.
