Norman Finkelstein’s Academic Struggle for Truth and Justice for the cause of Palestine: A case for Noble Peace Prize

Abstract

Norman G. Finkelstein, a prominent scholar with a PhD in political science from Princeton University, is recognized for his detailed analysis of the Israel-Palestine conflict. His influential works address Israeli policies, humanitarian issues, and international law, advocating for justice for Palestinians. Finkelstein's notable publications include "Image and Reality of the Israel-Palestine Conflict”, "Beyond Chutzpah”, "This Time We Went Too Far", “Gaza: An Inquest into Its Martyrdom” and “I'll Burn That Bridge When I Get to It!” where he critiques historical narratives, human rights abuses and cancel cultures while challenging the misuse of

Anti-Semitism in silencing dissent. His scholarship highlights the human impact of illegal Israeli military actions and advocates for a just resolution to the conflict. Despite facing academic opposition, particularly from figures like Alan Dershowitz, Finkelstein's relentless pursuit of truth has significantly shaped the discourse on Palestinian rights, making a compelling case for his consideration for the Nobel Peace Prize.
