Israel Finkelstein et al., however, have claimed that lack of evidence for a systematic conquest or the abrupt appearance of a new culture indicates that the Israelites simply arose as a subculture within Canaanite society.

The chapter on him is entitled " Entering the Mainstream "-but Finkelstein considers that, were it not for the likes of Lipstadt, no one would ever have heard of Arthur Butz.

In 1981 New Right activist Richard Viguerie wrote, " NCPAC relies heavily on research and polling, a reflection of one of its founders, conservative pollster Arthur Finkelstein.

After a brief interlude early in 1979 as adviser to conservative Congressman Phil Crane, Finkelstein returned as one of the pollsters advising Ronald Reagan's primary campaign.

* Alan Dershowitz and Norman G. Finkelstein – Finkelstein is a frequent guest.

Dershowitz has written that he agreed to appear on the show after being told he would debate Noam Chomsky, not Finkelstein.

The Dershowitz – Finkelstein affair was a public controversy involving academics Alan Dershowitz and Norman Finkelstein and their scholarship on the Israeli – Palestinian conflict in 2005.

Shortly after the publication of the book The Case for Israel, by Alan Dershowitz, Norman Finkelstein alleged that it was " a collection of fraud, falsification, plagiarism and nonsense.

" Finkelstein charged that Dershowitz had engaged in plagiarism in his use of Joan Peters ' book From Time Immemorial.

Dershowitz responded in his book The Case for Peace and alleged a politically motivated campaign of vilification spearheaded by Finkelstein, Noam Chomsky, and Alexander Cockburn against several pro-Israel academics.

Finkelstein noted that in twenty instances that all occur within about as many pages, Dershowitz used some of the same words from the same sources that Joan Peters used, largely in the same order.

Finkelstein stated: " It is left to readers to decide whether Dershowitz committed plagiarism as defined by Harvard University – ' passing off a source's information, ideas, or words as your own by omitting to cite them.

' According to a book review of Beyond Chutzpah, written by Prof. Michael C. Desch in The American Conservative, " Finkelstein does not accuse Dershowitz of the wholesale lifting of someone else's words, but he does make a very strong case that Dershowitz has violated the spirit, if not the exact letter, of Harvard's prohibitions of the first three forms of plagiarism.

" Several supporters of Finkelstein, however, demanded that Dershowitz be fired from his professorship at Harvard Law School.

Noting his perception of Dershowitz's lack of knowledge about specific contents of his own book during an interview of the two men by Amy Goodman on Democracy Now !, Finkelstein also charged that Dershowitz could not have written the book and may not have even read it.

Dershowitz offered to produce his handwritten drafts ( he does not type ) to debunk the claim that The Case for Israel was ghostwritten and claims Finkelstein has not asked to see them.

Finkelstein claims to have asked for the drafts and that Dershowitz has not produced them.

Dershowitz said that Finkelstein has invented false charges in order to discredit supporters of Israel: " The mode of attack is consistent.

In quoting Mark Twain, Finkelstein argued, " Dershowitz cites two paragraphs from Twain as continuous text, just as Peters cites them as continuous text, but in Twain's book the two paragraphs are separated by 87 pages.

The location that Finkelstein refers to as " Ai " is generally dismissed as the location of the biblical Ai, since it was destroyed and buried in the 3rd millennium.

It is filled with precisely the kind of shrill hyperbole that Finkelstein rightly deplores in much of the current media hype over the Holocaust ; it is brimming with the same indifference to historical facts, inner contradictions, strident politics and dubious contextualizations ; and it oozes with the same smug sense of moral and intellectual superiority.

Chomsky selects the target and directs Finkelstein to probe the writings in minute detail and conclude that the writer didn't actually write the work, that it is plagiarized, that it is a hoax and a fraud ," noting that Finkelstein has leveled the same kind of charges against many others, calling at least 10 " distinguished Jews ' hucksters ,' ' hoaxters ,' ' thieves ,' ' extortionists ,' and worse.

In the 2005 book " Beyond Chutzpah ," Finkelstein cites 20 different instances where Dershowitz borrows quotations, including long quotations with ellipses in exactly the same place as in Joan Peters ' book.

The pitfalls of running IEs and campaigns at the same time were illustrated when NCPAC was sued for running ads in early 1982 against New York Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan — around the same time as Finkelstein was working for GOP Senate candidate Bruce Caputo.

In 1986, a federal court ruled against NCPAC, and The Washington Post editorialized, " Both NCPAC and the Caputo campaign used the same pollster, Arthur Finkelstein.
