The good Jewish boys go into battle
Article Abstract:
An overview of the public row that has erupted between Norman Finkelstein, assistant professor of political science at DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois, and Alan Dershowitz, a law professor at Harvard University, over Finkelstein's book "Beyond Chutzpah: On the Misuse of Anti-Semitism and the Abuse of History". In the book, Finkelstein argues that research on the Israel-Palestine conflict has been corrupted by the pro-Israel lobby, with a large part of the book being an attack on Dershowitz's pro-Israeli stance.
