In Finkelstein 's doctoral thesis , he examined the claims made in Joan Peters 's From Time Immemorial , a best @-@ selling book at the time . Peters 's " history and defense " of Israel deals with the demographic history of Palestine .

From Time Immemorial had been praised by figures as varied as Barbara Tuchman , Theodore H. White , Elie Wiesel , and Lucy Dawidowicz . Saul Bellow , for one , wrote in a jacket endorsement that :
| c37888b7a2cc22fdf19e1ce9ab65eb22 | 4,597 |
" Millions of people the world over , smothered by false history and propaganda , will be grateful for this clear account of the origins of the Palestinians . "
| 15a1812357a5bb23fbd7bcf8c1c892b7 | 4,598 |
Finkelstein asserted that the book was a " monumental hoax " . He later opined that , while Peters 's book received widespread interest and approval in the United States , a scholarly demonstration of its fraudulence and unreliability aroused little attention :
| f3b1a382b0ba0c1502949948df71b8a5 | 4,599 |
" By the end of 1984 , From Time Immemorial had ... received some two hundred [ favorable ] notices ... in the United States .

Noam Chomsky later reminisced :

In 1986 , the New York Review of Books published Yehoshua Porath 's review and an exchange with critics of the review in which he criticized the assumptions and evidence on which Peters 's thesis relied , thus lending independent support from an expert in Palestinian demographics to Finkelstein 's doctoral critique . ... | e1c0edba1470a69076ecfc6136117843 | 4,603 |
In the house journal of the American Council on Foreign Relations , Foreign Affairs , William B.

Shortly after the publication of the book The Case for Israel by Alan Dershowitz , Finkelstein derided it as " a collection of fraud , falsification , plagiarism , and nonsense " . During a debate on Democracy Now ! , Finkelstein asserted that Dershowitz lacked knowledge about specific contents of his own book . He al... | c8c3cca02e97febc9f7e8c55a4a176ee | 4,619 |
Finkelstein noted 20 instances , in as many pages , where Dershowitz 's book cites the same sources and passages used by Joan Peters in her book , in largely the same sequence , with ellipses in the same places . In two instances , Dershowitz reproduces Peters 's errors ( see below ) . From this Finkelstein concluded ... | 2e41107fea2e80a77b9ff227dbd33cc7 | 4,620 |
Dershowitz threatened libel action over the charges in Finkelstein 's book , as a consequence of which , the publisher deleted the word " plagiarism " from the text before publication . Finkelstein agreed to remove the suggestion that Dershowitz was not the true author of The Case for Israel because , as the publisher... | 3ab4eb4e1a63d0ef9adefec50544f281 | 4,621 |
Asserting that he did consult the original sources , Dershowitz said Finkelstein is simply accusing him of good scholarly practice : citing references he learned of initially from Peters 's book . Dershowitz denies that he used any of Peters 's ideas without citation . " Plagiarism is taking someone else 's words and ... | 343a8939ef9b2689e9c56b7f445a7c9b | 4,622 |
In their joint interview on Democracy Now , however , Finkelstein cited specific passages in Dershowitz 's book in which a phrase that he says Peters coined was incorrectly attributed to George Orwell :
| d681b64b14a91917dd5cdea4a31b2124 | 4,623 |
" [ Peters ] coins the phrase , ' turnspeak ' , she says she 's using it as a play off of George Orwell which as all listeners know used the phrase ' Newspeak .

You go to Mr. Dershowitz 's book , he got so confused in his massive borrowings from Joan Peters that on two occ... | e3eaf39929679fefaa5c550fa2aa2855 | 4,624 |
James O. Freedman , the former president of Dartmouth College , the University of Iowa , and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences , has defended Dershowitz :
| 0f13c3d2314ba91c42b5c5125ec93437 | 4,625 |
I do not understand [ Finkelstein 's ] charge of plagiarism against Alan Dershowitz . There is no claim that Dershowitz used the words of others without attribution . When he uses the words of others , he quotes them properly and generally cites them to the original sources ( Mark Twain , Palestine Royal Commission , ... | 6e21e6f2f0e478946ef41a91548f7026 | 4,626 |
Responding to an article in The Nation by Alexander Cockburn , Dershowitz also cited The Chicago Manual of Style :
| 142d9f79b457b7c34acdc20f2151c7bd | 4,627 |
Cockburn 's claim is that some of the quotes should not have been cited to their original sources but rather to a secondary source , where he believes I stumbled upon them . Even if he were correct that I found all these quotations in Peters 's book , the preferred method of citation is to the original source , as The... | c18e38cd7f733c2b97d82e01a4b8f0dc | 4,628 |
... to which Cockburn responded :
| 952b73dd60e13ea112283639571cdc16 | 4,629 |
Quoting The Chicago Manual of Style , Dershowitz artfully implies that he followed the rules by citing " the original " as opposed to the secondary source , Peters . He misrepresents Chicago here , where " the original " means merely the origin of the borrowed material , which is , in this instance , Peters .
