Flyer for Dr. Norman Finklestein Lecture
On Tuesday, April 23, 2013 Dr. Norman Finkelstein, author of “Knowing Too Much: Why the American Jewish Romance with Israel is Coming to an End” will be on campus to discuss his novel and do a book signing at 7 p.m. in Beckman Hall 404.

Always insightful, always compelling, Dr. Norman Finkelstein, historian and author of eight books, will be introduced by Professor Nubar Hovsepian.

Finkelstein will present the arguments laid out in
Knowing Too Much
. Traditionally, he notes, American Jews have been broadly liberal in their political outlook; indeed African-Americans are the only ethnic group more likely to vote Democratic in US elections. Over the past half century, however, attitudes on one topic have stood in sharp contrast to this group’s generally progressive stance: support for Israel.

The event is sponsored by the
Political Science Department
and the
Peace Studies Program
and is free and open to the public.
