2 CDs
The much anticipated encounter between two long time adversaries. Dershowitz dismisses Chomsky as inhabiting his own "planet" where "the news reflects his perspective on reality." He claims Chomsky relies on, "selective quotes and picking tidbits out of context." And "If you check his sources, they are false. He makes it up as he goes along." Chomsky counters with, "Here is a simple excercise. You can believe one of two things. The extensive published diplomatic record or what Dershowitz says he heard from somebody." Chomsky adds, "The march to catastrophe continues" as the proposed Palestine state will consist of "Bantustans with no organic connection to East Jerusalem, the center of Palestinian life and culture." The audience joins in with spirited and pointed questions. An ear-opening program for your must-have list.
