Norman Finkelstein has a doctorate in Political Science at Princeton University and he specializes on Jewish related issues, particularly the Israel-Palestine conflict. He is a Jewish scholar whose parents both survived the Holocaust and he has taught at Brooklyn College , Rutgers University , Hunter College, New York University, and most recently, DePaul University . He received media attention recently when he was denied tenure at DePaul University , and this incident has raised the question of academic freedom in American Universities. In the last year he has been lecturing around the world on the Israel-Palestine conflict and he is an advocate for the Two State Settlement.

Finkelstein has written five books, including Beyond Chutzpah, The Holocaust Industry, and Image and Reality of the Israel-Palestine Conflict.
