The Holocaust is an industry

The Holocaust is an industry

Any legitimate criticism of Israel or of Jewish power has been weaponised — for legal and financial gain, argues Norman Finkelstein, a Jewish historian and author who lost most of his family in the camps, and who was banned from entering Israel for ten years.

Norman Finkelstein is a Jewish American political scientist known for his outspoken views on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and especially Israel's military actions in Gaza.

In the early 2000s, he published The Holocaust Industry which led to him being banned from entering Israel for a decade. (The Israeli government, of course, denies that it's because of his book.)
