While Finkelstein cannot prove that Dershowitz was responsible for the disinvitation, the Dershowitz modus operandi is evident in the hundreds of pages of threatening legal correspondence which document Dershowitz??s campaign to stop publication of Finkelstein’s book at University of California Press (UCP) and had evidently succeeded at doing so at the New Press.

Dershowitz??s event was a response to the Chomsky speech, itself part of the “Nakba 101” week that was organized by the Harvard Nakba Committee. Dershowitz said he asked to debate Chomsky, but the committee cited a fixed schedule as reason not to host a debate. Dershowitz...
