(AP) June 10 – Finkelstein’s most recent book, “Beyond Chutzpah: On the Misuse of Anti-Semitism and the Abuse of History,” is largely an attack on Alan Dershowitz‘s “The Case for Israel.” In it, Finkelstein argues Israel uses the outcry over perceived anti-Semitism as a weapon to stifle criticism.
Dershowitz, who threatened to sue the book’s publisher for libel, has urged DePaul officials to reject Finkelstein’s tenure bid.
“This should not have been a close case,” he said in an e-mail Sunday. “Finkelstein’s only academic output is ad hominem attacks on ideological enemies. … The only reason this appeared close was because outsiders from the hard left mounted a political campaign on his behalf.”
