Norman Gary Finkelstein, an American Jewish scholar, is one of the world’s leading experts on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict and the political legacy of the Nazi holocaust in which, apart from his parents, every member of Finkelstein’s family, on both sides, was exterminated.

His 2000 book "The Holocaust Industry", which was serialised in The Guardian, became an international best-seller and touched off a firestorm of debate.[1]

In September 2007, after a highly publicised feud between Finkelstein and an academic opponent, Alan Dershowitz, Finkelstein resigned his professorship at DePaul University, Chicago.[2][3]

In 2008, Finkelstein was banned from entering Israel for 10 years.[4]

Norman G. Finkelstein is clear: "It’s time to put a stop to this periodic charade, because it ends up besmirching the victims of the Nazi holocaust, diverting from the real suffering of the Palestinian people, and poisoning relations between the Jewish and Muslim communities. You just had an antisemitism hysteria last year, and it was a farce. And now again? Another inquiry? Another investigation? No."
