>he didn't demolish any claims, in that instance he points out that Joan Peter's interpretation of a report in the British Archives could be exaggerated
He completely fucking demolished her hoax of a book.
>he is his own undoing
So the ineffable Dershowitz had nothing to do with it, in your opinion? Finkelstein also has shown the extent to which Dershowitz himself is a fraud. Which is partly why Desrshowitz invested so much of his own declining political capital in his persecution of Finkelstein.

Dershowitz polarizes, with many deeming him either an eloquent bona fide Zionist or a ruthless fraudulent shyster.

Norman Finkelstein has also written eloquently about this in his books "The Holocaust Industry" and "Beyond Chutzpah: On the Misuse of Anti-Semitism and the Abuse of History".
