Why Finkelstein Was Denied Tenure at DePaul
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/cjEP1KAePBM
Chomsky recounts the severe campaign Alan Dershowitz allegedly launched against Norman Finkelstein following the publication of Finkelstein’s book, "Beyond Chutzpah," which critically analyzed Dershowitz's defense of Israeli human rights violations…

In March 2006, the Harvard Kennedy School published [...]“The #Israel Lobby and US #ForeignPolicy,” by influential political scientists John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt. The paper, which ran in the London Review of Books and became the basis for a book published the following year, was an unflinching analysis of the impact of pro-Israel advocacy and lobbying groups on the #US political system, and the role of organizations like #AIPAC in shaping US foreign policy...
[...] described a loose coalition of philanthropists, think tanks, advocacy groups, and Christian Zionist organizations...
The scandals coming into view with Harvard Professors like Alan Dershowitz and Lawrence H. Summers in the Epstien Files have me going back to Responsibility of Intellectuals (1967!!) by Noam Chomsky... It's no surprise the money, power, and status has people lying with few consequences in support of USA corrupt policy for Israel and Wall Street Economics now.. For back then, I wonder if The Kennedy "Intellectuals" may just be lucky there wasn't unencrypted e-mail back then, so we won't know what sort of perverse rapey pricks they were in private life, if their private lives match up with their policy participation like they do for Dershowitz and Summers...
When Arthur Schlesinger was asked by The New York Times in November, 1965, to explain the contradiction between his published account of the Bay of Pigs incident and the story he had given the press at the time of the attack, he simply remarked that he had lied; and a few days later, he went on to compliment the Times for also having suppressed information on the planned invasion, in “the national interest,” as this term was defined by the group of arrogant and deluded men of whom Schlesinger gives such a flattering portrait in his recent account of the Kennedy Administration.
It is of no particular interest that one man is quite happy to lie in behalf of a cause which he knows to be unjust; but it is significant that such events provoke so little response in the intellectual community—for example, no one has said that there is something strange in the offer of a major chair in the humanities to a historian who feels it to be his duty to persuade the world that an American-sponsored invasion of a nearby country is nothing of the sort. And what of the incredible sequence of lies on the part of our government and its spokesmen concerning such matters as negotiations in Vietnam? The facts are known to all who care to know.
... there is indeed something of a consensus among intellectuals who have already achieved power and affluence, or who sense that they can achieve them by “accepting society” as it is and promoting the values that are “being honored” in this society. It is also true that this consensus is most noticeable among the scholar-experts who are replacing the free-floating intellectuals of the past.
Let me finally return to Dwight Macdonald and the responsibility of intellectuals. Macdonald quotes an interview with a death-camp paymaster who burst into tears when told that the Russians would hang him. “Why should they? What have I done?” he asked. Macdonald concludes: “Only those who are willing to resist authority themselves when it conflicts too intolerably with their personal moral code, only they have the right to condemn the death-camp paymaster.” The question, “What have I done?” is one that we may well ask ourselves, as we read each day of fresh atrocities

> Though Epstein is neither a Harvard alumnus nor a faculty member, he has given millions of dollars to Harvard over the past three decades... Epstein also maintained an office in Cambridge for several years and forged close personal friendships with current and former faculty and administrators including #Dershowitz, former University President #LawrenceHSummers, and former Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences #HenryRosovsky.

Doug Henwood's post about Larry Summers objecting to use of his work that should have reigned in financial predators got me thinking of _Disciplined Minds_. The other Harvard guy, Israel's big-name apologist #AlanDershowitz too: Maybe he did some decent work, something coherent like Milton Friedman but it still felt empty so they just wanted to get paid, get whatever the market would bear for their status. Exploiting girls is part of the benefits package like it was for sailors on slave ships??

Now that Alan Dershowitz has been outed as a rapey pervert with the Epstein release, there's an urge to revisist his 2005 debate with Noam Chomsky over Israel/US policy..

In the 2018 email #Epstein wrote to Lawrence H. Summers, the fmr #Treasury secretary & president of #Harvard University where he called #Trump “borderline insane”, Epstein also made a reference to the lawyer #AlanDershowitz writing, “dersh, a few feet further from the border but not by much.” It was unclear what prompted this assessment from Epstein.

…Braun’s troubles began more than 15 years ago…. Not until May 2019 was Braun was sentenced by Judge Matsumoto to 10 years in prison; he reported in 2020. #Trump commuted his sentence just before leaving the presidency after Braun’s family had hired the lawyer #AlanDershowitz, Trump’s ally & lawyer [also #JeffreyEpstein] at the time, to lobby on his behalf.

ngl the dershowitz bithday letter where he says his gift to #epstein was getting the sexual assault allegations made by Maria Farmer and her sister to the FBI in the 90s squashed from the vanity fair profile of the man is the creepiest part of the #EpsteinBirthdayBook

Elon Dershowitz Dies: ‘Reversal Of Fortune’ & ‘Fallen’ Producer Was 64
#News #Obituaries #AlanDershowitz #ElonDershowitz #Fallen #ReversalofFortune
I'm late to the #AlanDershowitz #pierogi shitshow & just caught up with some video clips. That shitstain is such a whiney transphobic, Zionist turd. What a joke of a lawsuit - it shouldn't make it to court.
Knives all around him, yet still he persists, ....like Alan Dershowitz looking for a pierogi (and a teenage masseuse)
#Netanyahu #Israel #Genocide #Gaza #FreePalestine #AlanDershowitz
lol, you're Podcast material now Alan, it's a carnival of hatred for you and you personally because of the man you are and the things you have done.
Like a man who doesn't take 'no' for an answer (from teenage masseurs?) he will be back next week....because he has to 'win'....even if it means closing down the whole Farmers Market because of 'anti-Semitism'....it's Trump's America so it could happen.
If the pierogis are 'tainted with Anti-Semitism' then why do you want to eat them you nonce? When you die people will celebrate, and you know this, don't you Nonce? You think that's a 'win' don't you?
Incidentally, nobody is boycotting the stall, not even the friendless loser calling for a boycott. It's like he's just a fucking idiot, isn't it?
