Lie after Lie after Lie for Israel
In the article, The
Case Against Alan Dershowitz Public Committee Against Torture in Israel vs.
Dershowitz, Regan Boychuk exposes more of Dershowitz's lies in the service
of Zionism. Boychuk writes, "In the course of arguing that Israeli authorities
no longer torture Palestinians, Dershowitz claimed he had a long conversation
with the Israeli human rights organization, Public Committee Against Torture
in Israel (PCATI), in which PCATI not only conceded that there was no longer
any torture for them to investigate, but that they refused to change their
name because it helped them attract media attention. Although organizers of
his lecture wore shirts arrogantly proclaiming, “Dersh knows more than you”,
I decided to check his claim." And Boychuk finds that Dershowitz is lying,
"PCATI was still reporting that “Instances of torture, abuse, prisoners held
incommunicado and excessive violence against [Palestinian] detainees continue
to grow in both numbers and severity”, while “interrogators and perpetrators
of torture, their commanders and superiors enjoy impunity.” 
Norman
Finkelstein also exposes Dershowitz as a liar in his new book Beyond
Chutzpah : On the Misuse of Anti-Semitism and the Abuse of History Finkelstein
documents the fact that apologists for Israel contrive controversy. "Whenever
Israel comes under international pressure, another media campaign alleging
a global outbreak of anti-Semitism is mounted." "The core analysis of Beyond
Chutzpah sets Dershowitz's assertions on Israel's human rights record against
the findings of the mainstream human rights community. Sifting through thousands
of pages of reports from organizations such as Amnesty International, B'Tselem,
and Human Rights Watch, Finkelstein demonstrates that Dershowitz has systematically
misrepresented the facts." "A very solid, important and highly informative
book. Norman Finkelstein provides extensive details and analysis, with considerable
historical depth and expert research, of a very wide range of issues concerning
Israel, the Palestinians, and the U.S."--Noam Chomsky, author of Hegemony
