Norman Gary Finkelstein (born 1953) is an American political scientist, activist, professor, and author. His primary fields of research are the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the politics of the Holocaust, an interest motivated by the experiences of his parents who were Jewish Holocaust survivors. Finkelstein is a graduate of Binghamton University and received his Ph.D in political science at Princeton University. He has held faculty positions at Brooklyn College, Rutgers University, Hunter College, New York University, and DePaul University where he was an assistant professor from 2001 to 2007.
Zionism is a political movement that supports the self-determination and homeland for Jewish people in Israel. Zionists advocate for the existence and
continuation of Israel, but is used by Israel's settler movement to justify expansion and occupation into internationally recognized Palestinian lands.

Christian Zionists and Muslim Zionists are those Christians and Muslims who support Israel in its objectives in the 'Greater Israel' project.

The 'Greater Israel' project is a frequently contentious, right-wing Zionist project linked to settlement expansion and greater land annexation concepts for a Jewish state. The project may include the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea (including the West Bank and Gaza) to biblical, larger borders stretching from the River Nile to the Euphrates.
