It's possible you are both arguing over opinions that Finkelstein no longer holds here.
The article you linked is from 2008, while the introduction to the piece @TheBroodian@hexbear.net linked to ends with "His forthcoming book is Gaza: An Inquest into Its Martyrdom (University of California Press)", and that book was apparently published in January 2018 meaning the piece is at least about a decade old at this point.
Here’s a more recent article, where he speaks on his choice to tone police “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” at the Columbia encampment (plus a nod to cancel culture at the end)

If you’ve heard him posit contrary opinions, please post them. As far as I’ve seen, he has not engaged in self crit.
I have no idea, just pointing out that neither of you contributed anything recent.
