Reply #4: As far as I know, Norman Finkelstein did not make any

[Boojatta]

direct or indirect contribution to The Satanic Verses in any role. For example, as far as I know, Finkelstein wasn't involved in translating Rushdie's works, didn't edit Rushdie, didn't offer criticism of Rushdie's pre-publication draft documents, etc.

However, even if Finkelstein had an actual co-author role with Rushdie, there would be a need for evidence to support any claim to the effect that Israel banned The Satanic Verses. Similarly, one would need evidence to support any claim to the effect that Israel offered million-dollar rewards to potential assassins of Rushdie's co-authors or translators.
