Good stuff. Support academic freedom!
I think someone like, say, Daniel Pipes is a total asshole with whom I disagree on just about everything, but if he were an academic and was denied tenure in this fashion, I'd support him, too. There is a larger issue here than Finkelstein or Israel/Palestine: freedom of thought and academic freedom.
