...Summers expressed disapproval of Paulin’s criticisms of Israel. Though the Department later voted to reverse the disinvitation, Paulin has never come to campus. In 2005, DePaul historian Norman G. Finkelstein, who has both sharply criticized Israeli military conduct and accused Harvard Law School Professor Alan M. Dershowitz of plagiarism, had been invited to speak at Harvard Book Store but was abruptly disinvited without explanation. 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...

Dershowitz, that Chomsky just might be a resident of his own planet—“Planet Chomsky.” Dershowitz railed against Chomsky’s claims about the Nakba—the Arabic word for what some believe was the forced Palestinian exodus from Israel in 1948 and 1949—in an hour-long discussion last night that was sponsored by Harvard Students for Israel (HSI).
