(Please note, the 2pm EMU event was cancelled. Finkelstein is exhausted from touring and felt that the EMU event would be redundant with the U-M event. EMU students are invited to come to the U-M events, detailed below.)
********PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY***********
DETAILS ARE FINAL.
Norman Finkelstein will be appearing in Ann Arbor to
discuss his book, "Beyond Chutzpah: On the Misuse of Anti-Semitism and the Abuse of History."
Thursday, October 27, at the Palmer Commons, 100 Washtenaw Ave, Great Lakes Room, at 7pm. Suggested donation is $8 but it is not mandatory.
Also, he will be appearing earlier, at 4pm, at The Planet (1112 1/2 S. University, above Village Apothecary) for a book signing.
*In the event of on-site disruption by the forces of censorship, an alternate location will be announced at the time and place of the event.
Finkelstein's book discredits "The Case for Israel" by Alan Dershowitz as a fraud--not only for presenting false facts, but for having plagiarized them from a previous book that has been discredited. But much more than that--it exposes an unmistakable pattern of the corruption of scholarship on the Israel-Palestine conflict.
"Bringing to bear the latest findings on the conflict and recasting the scholarly debate, Finkelstein points to a consensus among historians and human rights organizations on the factual record. Why, then, does so much controversy
swirl around the conflict? Finkelstein's answer, copiously documented, is that apologists for Israel contrive controversy. Whenever Israel comes under international pressure, another media campaign alleging a global outbreak of anti-Semitism is mounted." -from
