 rights reports, Norman G. Finkelstein's new book presents a meticulously 
 researched inquest into Gaza's martyrdom. He shows that although Israel has 
 tried to justify its assaults in the name of self-defense, in fact Israel's 
 actions constitute flagrant violations of international law. Finkelstein 
 also documents that the guardians of international law-from Amnesty 
 International and Human Rights Watch to the UN Human Rights 
 Council-ultimately failed Gaza. One of his most disturbing conclusions is 
 that, after Judge Richard Goldstone's humiliating retraction of his UN 
 report, human rights organizations succumbed to the Israeli juggernaut. 
 Finkelstein's magnum opus is both a monument to Gaza's martyrs and an act 
 of resistance against the forgetfulness of history.\n\n"No scholar has done 
 more to shed light on Israel's ruthless treatment of the Palestinians than 
 Norman Finkelstein. In Gaza, he meticulously details Israel's massacres... 
 while demolishing the myths Israel and its supporters have invented to 
 disguise these shocking events."\n- John J. Mearsheimer, Distinguished 
 Service Professor, University of Chicago\n\nNorman Finkelstein has the 
 moral gravity of an Old Testament prophet, the scrupulous attention to 
 detail of a Talmudic scholar, and the mordant sense of humor of a Yiddish 
 novelist. All these attributes are on display in Gaza: An Inquest into its 
 Martyrdom, an indictment of Israel's crimes in the overcrowded Palestinian 
 territory from 2008 up to the present.\n\nBrian Edwards-Tiekert is the 
 founder and co-host of UpFront, the morning drive-time public affairs 
 program on KPFA Radio.\n\n$12 advance, $15 door.\n
