Norman Finkelstein is an Islamist and terrorist worshipper?
No but you are. Norman Finklestein makes money off IslamoNazi assholes by telling them what them want to hear. There's a few like that out there that you morons keep quoting. Business is business, ya know what I mean?
I see. So Norman Finkelstein's business is catering to IslamoNazis who then pay him. You know, I hadn't heard that.
Yes, of course. He gets paid to go on those idiotic speaking tours and write those stupid books. Muslims guzzle that shit up by the boat load. Just look at you. But lately I heard he's hitting rough times so he's considering moving to where there is more demand or "market" for his crap. Or maybe he should change his name to MOHOMOD Finklestein. Or perhaps, convert to Islam...yeah that would be the ticket to the big bucks. What do you think MOHOMOD? Ha ha ha.
He’s unemployed. And unemployable:
Slightly a different topic, but it’s been seven years since you held a full-time teaching post at a university. You’ve had a very tenuous relationship with the academy, and in that regard, I’d liken you to figures like W.E.B. Du Bois and Anna Julia Cooper who sought alternative institutions to practice their politics. Can you describe your role now as an outsider, both from academia as well as the mainstream media, to engage with the public, to express your ideas via writing, public speaking, social media etc.

I was a teacher and it was a huge loss for me, it remains a huge loss for me. It’s a source of personal and private disappointment and bitterness frankly, and I have not been particularly productive in the last seven years.

If you don’t mind my asking, are you currently employed at the moment?
I no longer say I’m unemployed. I say I’m unemployable, it’s different. An unemployed suggests at a certain point in the future, you might be employed. That’s not the case with me. I’m unemployable and unfortunately that’s one of the bits of the web, in particular of Google. When I was younger, you applied for a job they typically asked for three references.
Nowadays people don’t ask for references. They just Google your name. And if you Google my name, all sorts of horrifying things come up: Holocaust denier, Nazi apologist, supporter of terrorism. And no responsible administrator in anything, forget about academia, quite literally even the post office. And that’s literal, that’s not poetic. Even for a job at the post office, they won’t consider you
"Have you considered a teaching post outside of the U.S. where the political climate might be different?"
This year, I’m down to two countries. One is Turkey where I may be teaching, there’s a good chance. The other is Iran and I’ve been working on Iran but so far it hasn’t been successful. So right now, we’re down to Turkey and Iran because I am finding it intolerable at the present moment, this pointless life.
