Finkelstein’s doctoral thesis examined the claims made in Joan Peters’s From Time Immemorial, a best-selling book at the time. Peters’s “history and defense” of Israel deals with the demographic history of Palestine. Demographic studies had tended to assert that the Arab population of Ottoman-controlled Palestine, a 94% majority at the turn of the century, had dwindled toward parity due to massive Zionist immigration. Peters radically challenged this picture by arguing that a substantial part of the Palestinian people were descended from immigrants from other Arab countries from the early 19th century onward. It followed, for Peters and many of her readers, that the picture of a native Palestinian population overwhelmed by Jewish immigration was little more than propaganda, and that in actuality two almost simultaneous waves of immigration met in what had been a relatively unpopulated land.
After the war they met in a displaced persons camp in Linz, Austria, and then emigrated to the United States, where his father became a factory worker and his mother a homemaker and later a bookkeeper. Finkelstein’s mother was an ardent pacifist. Both his parents died in 1995. Of his parents, Finkelstein has recalled that “they saw the world through the prism of the Nazi Holocaust. They were eternally indebted to the Soviet Union (to whom they attributed the defeat of the Nazis), and so anyone who was anti-Soviet they were extremely harsh on”. They supported the Soviet Union’s approval of the creation of the State of Israel, as enunciated by Gromyko, who said that Jews had earned the right to a state, but thought that Israel had sold its soul to the West and “refused to have any truck with it”.

By the end of 1984, From Time Immemorial had…received some two hundred [favorable] notices … in the United States. The only ‘false’ notes in this crescendoing chorus of praise were the Journal of Palestine Studies, which ran a highly critical review by Bill Farrell; the small Chicago-based newsweekly In These Times, which published a condensed version of this writer’s findings; and Alexander Cockburn, who devoted a series of columns in The Nation exposing the hoax. … The periodicals in which From Time Immemorial had already been favorably reviewed refused to run any critical correspondence (e.g. The New Republic, The Atlantic Monthly, Commentary). Periodicals that had yet to review the book rejected a manuscript on the subject as of little or no consequence (e.g. The Village Voice, Dissent, The New York Review of Books). Not a single national newspaper or columnist contacted found newsworthy that a best-selling, effusively praised ‘study’ of the Middle East conflict was a threadbare hoax.
The New York Times reported that Finkelstein left Hunter College in 2001 “after his teaching load and salary were reduced” by the college administration. He has said he enjoyed teaching at Hunter and was “unceremoniously kicked out of” the school after begging it to keep him on with just two courses a semester for $12,000 a year. Hunter set conditions that would have required him to spend four days a week teaching, which he thought unacceptable.

In this work Finkelstein argues that Elie Wiesel and others exploit the memory of the Holocaust as an “ideological weapon”. Their purpose, writes Finkelstein, is to enable Israel, “one of the world’s most formidable military powers, with a horrendous human rights record, [to] cast itself as a victim state”; that is, to provide Israel “immunity to criticism”. He alleges a “double shakedown” practiced by “a repellent gang of plutocrats, hoodlums and hucksters” seeking enormous legal damages and financial settlements from Germany and Switzerland, moneys which then go to the lawyers and institutional actors involved in procuring them rather than actual Holocaust survivors.
