The text says the book was criticized "including by historians that were politically conservative or supportive of Israel". Does this include historians who lean "conservative" on the conflict? If not (and it only means overall conservative or supportive of Israel's existence in some fashion), the phrasing is potentially misleading. If it does, it could stand to have some examples, as the two given are Ian Gilmour (arguably conservative, but from his page it seems he's more pro-Palestinian than pro-Israel) and Yehoshua Porath (who has shifted on the political spectrum over the years, but at the time of the statement was apparently fairly far to the left of Israeli politics). 2604:2000:DFC0:15:F1DF:64AA:76A7:E5D9 (talk) 04:22, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Norman Finkelstein not a "reputable scholar", Noam Chomsky, Edward Said all have deep hatred for Zionism and Israel
Norman Finkelstein, Noam Chomsky, Edward Said all have two things in common, a history of lying about Israel and a deep hatred for Israel & Zionism. Finklestein is not a "reputable scholar" either. His articles frequently appear on white supremacist websites like "Veterans Today" and he was deported from Israel as well as banned for 10 years. Having those three listed as "reputable scholars" regarding the history of Israel is a joke . Chomsky was a close friend of Finklestein, also a linguist, not a scholar of Middle East history.
"To summarize the background of Finkelstein's work, he is considered to be a Holocaust revisionist who overemphasizes poorly-conceived Israeli policies while dismissing Arab repression of Jews in the Middle East. He glosses over the fact that Israel allows political participation of Muslims in voting and government, while many Arab Muslim governments reject any notion of allowing Jews to partake in the states' political processes." "In essence, sponsoring scholars who distort history and contemporary political affairs is not an issue of academic freedom but an issue of academic integrity."
"Noam Chomsky has publicly declared his skepticism that Joan Peters even wrote the book, speculating that it might have been authored by some intelligence agency. That may be true, but I would have guessed that any “intelligence” agency would have written a better book." here91.54.31.187 (talk) 02:24, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
