Biography:
Norman Finkelstein is Jewish and the son of holocaust survivors. This past summer he was banned from entering Israel for another ten years- on the basis that he was a security threat. He was denied tenure at Depaul university, and has continuously battled Alan Dershowitz. He's probably one of the most controversial and well known activists on the Israel-Palestine scene. His staunch criticism of Israel, and surprisingly friendly views towards Hezbullah have earned him the love and hatred of many. He's the author of five books and numerous articles, including "Beyond Chutzpah: On the misuse of Anti-Semitism and the Abuse of History", "The Rise and Fall of Palestine", and "Image & Reality of the Israel-Palestine Conflict", and "The Holocaust Industry". His lecture will be on what we can learn from Gandhi in regards to the Israel & Palestine conflict, and how to apply Gandhi's theories.
There will also be a question and answer session along with a brief book signing. "an outstanding scholar... a person who can speak with more authority
and insight on these topics than anyone I can think of"
