Fired for anti-Zionist posts
Maura Finkelstein, a scholar of anthropology and a writer, taught at Muhlenberg College in Allentown, Pennsylvania for nine years. She had been teaching a course on the anthropology of Palestine, a class that she says had been approved by the college. But even though she was tenured, she was fired in May 2024 over her social media posts in support of Palestinian rights and against the political ideology of Zionism a move that has been seen as a warning to other anti-genocide professors.
The firing followed months of targeted harassment by Israeli lobby groups and individuals who pressured the university to fire Finkelstein, accusing her of Jew hatred over her anti-Zionist principles. Finkelstein is Jewish.
