Read Alan Dershowitz’s essay, reprinted from the WSJ, on Dershowitz’s website.

See my post above. It's fair to say that you won;t get an unbiased view of Finklestein from reading Derschowitz. Finklestein DESTROYED Derschowitx publicly in a famous debate that Dersch is still trying to recover from.

I never claimed that Dershowitz is unbiased about Finklestein, and I haven’t sees the debate between them that you mentioned. I have read in other sources that Finklestein’s scholarship is shoddy, and that he engages in ad hominen arguments to defend his work.

It is puzzling to me that people who would, presumably, leap at the chance to attack Ward Churchill have come to the defense of Norman Finklestein. Those two are cut from the same cloth.
