This is the man who is a Proven Plagiarist and someone who EDITS peoples quotes to totally change the meaning of what they have said.
Like Ahmadinejad stating Iran had the right to the peaceful use of nuclear technology came out from Dershowitzs Lying Machine to say that Ahmadinejad said that Iran had the right to Nuclear Weapons.
Was he trying to start a war between the US and Iran?
Who in their right mind believes a word that thie liar has to say.
Yet NZFOI still pushes what he has to say.
Jeez. . .
Sir, thanks for your concerns for our reputation.
However, we quote from Wikipedia article “Dershowitz–Finkelstein affair”: Finkelstein charged that Dershowitz had engaged in plagiarism in his use of Joan Peters’ book From Time Immemorial. Dershowitz has denied the charges. Former Harvard president Derek Bok, following a review requested by Harvard Law School Dean Elena Kagan, determined that no plagiarism had occurred.
Dershowitz is a respected lawyer and of sufficient standing that the National Programme interviewed him while he was in NZ.
He was invited to New Zealand by a reputable law firm. Several hundred people attended a public interview of Dershowitz, which included a Q&A session. Obviously there are many people who wanted to hear what he had to say. If you feel so strongly that everything he has to say lacked credibility, we suggest you lay a complaint against the Radio New Zealand interview with the Broadcasting Standards Authority, after all it is your taxes that helped fund the broadcast. We would be interested in hearing the results of your complaint.
