[Please note that professor finkelstein will be speaking at two different venues on the same day.]


The misuse of anti-Semitism and the abuse of history


Norman Finkelstein explores the corruption and bias of scholarship surrounding the Palestine-Israel conflict. The talk will examine the growing tendency of pro-Israel commentators to use spurious charges of anti-Semitism to deflect and discredit legitimate criticism of Israel. With historical depth and intellectual integrity, Finkelstein rejects the view that the Israel-Palestine conflict is impossibly complex as a mystification, insists that the Palestinians were ethnically cleansed in 1948, and exposes Israel's damning human rights record.

Norman G Finkelstein is a Jewish American professor of Political Sciences and an internationally renowned academic. He is the author of five books, including 'The Holocaust Industry' and 'Image and Reality of the Israel-Palestine Conflict'.
