When Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz was exposed as a plagiarist, fraud and serial liar by Norman Finkelstein, Harvard was in a bit of a pickle. Two other law professors had already been exposed as plagiarists, and Dershowitz was caught ripping off From Time Immemorial, a work of pseudo-history that made its author a laughingstock.
So Dershowitz resorted to trying to slime Finkelstein. Usually, Dershowitz calls people anti-Semites when he can't rebut their arguments: just recently, he accused Desmond Tutu of being a Jew-hater. That wouldn't work with Finkelstein, whose family was almost completely exterminated by the Nazis during the holocaust (only his mother and father survived). So Dershowitz resorted to the technique of the BIG LIE: the more outrageous the lie, the better). Dershowitz accused Finkelstein of calling his own mother ( a woman who testified at trials of Nazi war criminals) a Nazi collaborator. Dershowitz, with the full support of Elena Kagan was allowed to put this repulsive libel on the official web site of Harvard Law School. When asked if it was a good idea to put such filth on the Law School's official page, Kagan said she had no problem with it.

To slander a holocaust survivor is grotesque, and shows how loathsome Dershowitz and Kagan are. The fact that a thug like Kagan holds a position in the government is a national disgrace.
