Churchill and Finklestein are both plagiarists. That not their radical beliefs is why they should have been fired.

A university is a business. They provide a service to their students. If they have a staff of radical and notorious hate mongers parents are not going to want to send their children there. Universities have, and always will, hire and fire professors (except for tenured ones) on their ability to create the desired educational environment to bring in students. How many Jewish parents are going to want to sign their kids up to attend daily antisemitic rants from Norman Filkstein? It’s not some sort of black list of intellectuals. It’s responsible staffing choice to bring in students.
