Fact and Fraud in the Israel-Palestine Conflict
A lecture by Professor Norman Finkelstein, DePaul University
Who is Norman Finkelstein?
1. The son of two Jewish concentration camp survivors.
2. The most astute critic of Zionist historical mythology in “Image and Reality in the Israel-Palestine Conflict.”
3. The first to expose in detail how the Nazi holocaust has been used to rationalize Israel’s criminality and U.S. support for it, in “The Holocaust Industry.”
4. The most cogent critic of the cynical uses of the “new anti-Semitism” to defame critics of Israel and to suppress intellectual freedom, especially on college campuses (including our own, I might add).
5. Alan Dershowitz’s worst nightmare: Professor Finkelstein’s forthcoming book, “Beyond Chutzpah,” plays off the title of an earlier Dershowitz tract, and minutely dissects his recent “The Case for Israel.” Finkelstein argues that if one looks at the facts instead of engaging in fraud, one ends up easily making “the case for Palestine.”
In the tradition of Professor Finkelstein’s mentor Noam Chomsky, don’t believe me, come judge for yourself:
