Or was. I speak of the crucifixion of Norman Finkelstein, a pre- now-former professor of political science at DePaul University, the nation's mier Catholic scholastic institution. Finkelstein got his star quotient when, in the late 1980s, he blasted Joan Peters' since-discredit-ed book "From Time Immemorial," which posited that there were no Palestinians 1 when the Zionists settled and colonized there, demonstrat-- I ing that the book was fraudulent. f f ' Along with collaborator Ruth Bettina Birn, Finkelstein aemonsnea uaniei jonan uuiunageu s even muit i iuhu-lo- us Naiso "Hitler's Willing Executioners," which practically cast blame for the Nazi crimes on the entire German people.
