. Alan Dershowitz wrote a book called A Case For Israel, which is apparantly palagiarized from Joan Peters' book From Time Immemorial writtin in 1984. He claimed that there were No historical errors in his book and offered $10,000 to be donated to the P.L.O if anyone found an error. On a live debate Norman Finkelstein called him out- "concrete facts which are not particularly controversial," stating that in The Case for Israel Dershowitz attributes to Israeli historian Benny Morris the figure of between 2,000 and 3,000 Palestinian Arabs who fled their homes from April to June, 1948, when, he said, the range in the figures presented by Morris is 200,000 to 300,000.[1]
Dershowitz responded to Finkelstein's reply by stating that such a mistake could not have been intentional, as it harmed his own side of the debate: "Obviously, the phrase '2,000 to 3,000 Arabs' refers either to a sub-phase [of the flight] or is a typographical error."[1]
hahaha, seems someone was trying to change the history books there. He still didnt pay the money, but sent his lawyers and even Arnold Shwartzenegger to shut him up.
