this is all she's a weekly the headline. demonstrators clashed with police in chicago where nation leaders are rushing out of this project bob got it done by witnesses report coalition veterans throwing their medals at the convention center in protest of their lives as tactics. russia grabs the world. the national team russia's slovakia six. all the way for this year's world championship without a single defeat. also the group of eight industrialized nations expressed hope

greece can stay put in the eurozone but x. let's paint a very different picture of what's happening behind the scenes. because it's also no weapons to bahrain as a mass uprising and the state threatens to unseat a pro western law case. coming up next our special report america's spring on the history of occupy wall street and the movement struggle against corruption greed and inequality. i'm not saying i was an absolutely top form but you did great on the comedian now as an opportunity to grab on a couple things like what was the last question about palestinian terrorism well i thought i answered that well you get the green line is you know be in the media smart with a focus and house and karen and then if you know it's really charismatic i mean i think it's a question of priorities i spoke for two hours we're going to people showed an enormous amount of tolerance and then me speak for two hours and therefore i have

an obligation to let people have their say no i'm saying things which deeply upset many people in the audience if they controlled themselves for two hours and showed me their respect and i have an obligation to let them let out their feelings and thoughts and complain about using the media to get this going i don't want to be i don't want to use the media i don't like expressions like that i don't want to success which is based on ruthlessness a success that's based on. the victory of scoundrels and nominate a copy of the iconic speech you know that said i want to go sign is profiting from the holocaust just like the industry that you criticize and using the memory of his parents to profit off of the home as if it was when you think about him well. it's a strange way to profit to lose your job and be thrown into exile in

a place where you. don't want to be after fifty years of living in new york it's an odd sort of profiteering right end up living in chicago and. losing my job i can say i was a happy household my mother she always tries to derive lessons from what she experienced. she was always analyzing what happened she thought that you know in the camps you saw the secret of human nature there was another disco song which you all know i will survive and i will survive is about the one man whose boyfriend you know dumps her with leaves her and she's. some violence my mother loved the song she didn't know the lyrics she just knew the referring and the referring her was the war.

so. why are you going. with your. last night i spent several hours several unpleasant hours reading and rereading the paper presented by dr finkelstein and i found it disturbing in a way which is not easy for me. the paper is suffused with pressman hatred and i strongly hope that when the proceedings of this conference are printed that such parts of this paper will not be included in them.

dr finkelstein to speak we have an expression in english the truth is often deter pill to swallow we are supposed to be seriously examining history but you mention a few words about jewish collaborators and people get so upset this is i'm sorry to say it's a form of emotional blackmail he says hamas is not recognized by the united states because hamas won't recognize israel the logical question is can you name a single israeli government official political party which has ever recognized a palestinian state within its internationally legal borders very.

wrong i'm wrong ok how about international law where of course you agree with that they said. by palestinian territories the whole of the west bank and gaza you agree with the core no the point is just like me with the far right in this you know very well this is. happening with the whole buying fall necessary to implement do you agree with their opinion. do you agree with their opinion.

by here is what i'm the argument which i think as a certain amount of credibility as the argument but i want to look at the sea so the argument goes something like this house armed has a special meaning for jews that from a biblical narrative you of point of view of the history of the jewish. palestine has a substantial resonance for the true issue. to imagine i'd sure stay in charge. in uganda or elsewhere simply the work of the jewish people who makes no sense i'm bashing the jewish state house are made

sense for the jewish people. we're talking to professor alan dershowitz he's author of a new book it's called the case for israel and debate with norman finkelstein among his books the holocaust industry and n.h. and reality and the israel palestine conflict no one thousand nine hundred eighty four one joan peters published a book called from time immemorial the book was universally recognized by serious scholars to be a fraud without wanting to toot my own horn i'm largely recognized as the person who exposed the froid. i know that book inside out i read it at least four times and i went through all eighteen hundred and fifty four footnotes i started to read your book mr dershowitz. i think came to chapter one footnotes ten foot no the live and footnote twelve footnote thirteen footnote fourteen

footnote fifteen footnotes sixteen all of the quotes are from joan peters they are so from joan peters but you have a long quote here from mark twain and pages twenty three to twenty four i turned to joan peters page one fifty nine to sixty the identical quote from twain with with the ellipse ease is in the you know that meaning is the twain quote romance philip is the wait let me finish but at the key the ellipse sees in the same places the identical quote from twain with the ellipses in the same places it's been wife then read here really has stood mr dershowitz i don't what's your point is i think is a correct let me finish now there's a way i want to ask you that i have is it a direct is it an accurate quote of twain that there is very clear it was never plagiarism to quote mark twain exactly excepts not exactly a cite mark twain and not shown peters i'm

a professor i know what plagiarism it's. been busy each expression for my. mother means to turn around and use a month or two to the dust if there she was this book made of course i wouldn't even use it if my. in the read you made to challenge my positions he accused me of plagiarism his charge was that because i used quotations from mark twain for example which he says i originally found in. a woman named peter's book. i had to cite the mark twain quotation not to mark twain himself which is of course what you're supposed to do according to the chicago manual and all other standard

manuals but i was obliged to cite it to the peters book and fact cited peter's a times in fact i didn't find the mark twain quote in the peter's book the soon as he accused me of plagiarism i went to harvard university and i said there's been this accusation i insist that you investigated please put an investigator on it they put bach the former president of harvard with whom i had not had particularly good relations over the years and derek bach came to the conclusion that there was absolutely no basis for any plagiarism.

you're listening to worldview from chicago public radio and we've been talking today with norman finkelstein assistant professor of political science at the paul i think you'll see it's always had a controversial ads but the controversy never ends and his conflict with harvard's alan dershowitz began in the democracy now radio program several years ago when he alleged that dershowitz his book a case for israel was plagiarized more recently dershowitz is not a one campaign against illegal themes can you get a call the president of the call university has about the middle of this month to decide and when it was dr finkelstein easer fessor to paul university who might get his tenure on tuesday if the university allows and by people like this be teaching our children in the class of us thanks for joining us i'm going to start off by asking where things stand in your a ten year old old westie have you become too hot for him. and i think the american association of university professors has been watching. the demise of the american higher education of the ministration simply you know why don't you get rid of mine

remember. now my. few moments. the poll university and myself reach a settlement this is the poll universe the state. today we are breached the

resolution of our dispute with professor finkelstein. as a part of that resolution he has agreed to resign effective immediately. professor finkelstein is a prolific scholar and an outstanding teacher the university thanks him thank you thank you thank the university thank him for his contributions and his service. i know a great deal about the finkelstein tenure case because the paul asked me to write a letter on finkelstein which i did and then i followed the case very closely from

start to finish and i think this is an open and shut case i think that finkelstein should have gotten ten year he's not a teacher he's a propagandist he's not a scholar he simply writes screeds the scandal was that paul university ever appointed him in the first place they appointed him because hard left professors who didn't care at all about his lack of scholarship just like his ideological. radicalism and lowered the standards to appoint him so it was a good decision to deploy university and it was a good decision for academic standards in general what he expects the shorts was going to hear cases dershowitz of being a liar and a plagiarist what is he going to expect but just what's to keep quiet did he know all the kind of connections the dershowitz has in the united states so why don't you tell it like on campus not so owning also person wouldn't have done anything

right so well what do you expect and i don't feel it was that he should downplay the issue of plagiarism i didn't think that a person would in the news and wouldn't issue the case there should it's a plagiarized here's a significant but significant as the material. of. it he did i thought he would put it in several of them just drop. in my view most of this talk about civility is

a red herring when you consider that our best universities eagerly recruit in dubai the bull war criminal whether it was colombia that sought out kissinger whether it was george howell which employed kirkpatrick or stands for which now has rumsfeld when you consider that professors in our best universities advocate torture and the automatic destruction of villages after a terrorist attack when you consider all this becomes clear that the question of civility whether one treats his or her critics according to emily post's rules of etiquette however real the question is. is by comparison a meaningless sideshow or just a transparent pretext for the gnawing

a person the right to teach an account of his or her unpopular political beliefs thank you. to the outside world the conflict in lebanon seemed to stop. the fighting stopped about one thousand two hundred people killed most of the civilians of the map of web allies in the middle east to be drawn in ways that no one expects or. many of those jewish will ever do because of the west of since if it did the mistakes of destruction of my.

son. welcome you and ask that you take a moment of silence to honor the lives of those who died in palestine iraq and lebanon. and that some of you might know that. dr norman was born in new york city only to a jewish family that survived the nazi camps. with david our guest who heard stories

from his parents of the nazi massacres or the reincarnation of those stories in the streets today. we have this challenge and i would add that the challenge is to be both principle and reasonable at the same all i had and that didn't sound on reasonable you're going to lose the international community but that's i want to and i don't think that's the way to win the struggle like that and that you're funny it. was. a bit of this running important that we have americans here who want to show that will knock on the american people i guess that by the syrian lights we know when the people knows the reality. on the site was.

the. the longer. that. was. coming. down space i could have given a rather awkward tork you know long live on struggle and snatched those are innocent of the crap life. ok i don't believe in the n.b.a. i think it's pointless. i did what i can which is please can we intelligently about possibilities for a change in the u.s. . but it's been tough you know there was one woman you know sort of like the oh. oh oh oh i'm a proud a profound thing comes out from. simple person she was lying in bed she's seventy two years old and i asked her how old are you she says when she lives in little

trouble. racking first open sewage i suppose. she said i'm twelve years old or twelve years old you're twelve because i love palestine and i was twelve years old enough to that was the end of life. from twelve years of age and. it was a good learning you remember things like that. after a go barber. and after the shame not done robbie well by the odd and after the anger over them although there still remains the hope. i'm not that i'm on and i know that i can get in a lot of trouble for what i'm about to say while i'm manic a lot of the most i could get you on the map. but i think that represents the hope like and i thought of them has beloved he must in them sometimes i think i have an

effect if it's a very good thing and know what i'm going to tell you and has inflicted and hezbollah a huge defeat as you might then be at a time this where you have to keep knocking them until a while and go out and you also will doubt about i don't see how they reached their son and. yeah i would. let them off and get it in the his fame has come from one of his books about the holocaust and other books involved in the israel palestine conflict. and strategic gannett the month is out when you visited lebanon meetings are a scandal for you. with various political leaders and some i has been leader there is a fundamental principle people have the right to defend their country from foreign

occupiers and people have the right to defend their country from invaders who are destroying their country and that to me is a very very sick elementary and uncomplicated question. look who's not in the same classes as bala you know it's not a position to lob missiles on northern israel make a third of the country and happen support. he's not a clear and present danger in the way that hamas is what he like him and naples of terrorism. people who are creating a climate. incremental in which. israel's legitimacy is no longer considered axiomatic in which violence against civilians is no longer axiomatic that.

it's more more of a qualitatively more than the usual this content of perth and feels with the world. i see it is. radically

unfair and therefore it has to be radically changed other people who think it's wrong but the interact with these are not radically. the world go you know who you choose through whose eye is. through whose are is huge. to see the world. this is radically unfair. and it requires a radical change. we .

mr. king. you.

question is the so much. which of course you want to. make up for what critics call america's banking system again the world has witnessed the specter of a major financial institution reporting.
