""There really are two sides to this dispute and there are informed, intelligent people, including "experts" on both sides.""

Well, the only one you have found to counter the Israeli Foreign Office report quoted by Finkelstein is Dershowitz, who is ""....not only a remarkable liar and slanderer, but also an extreme opponent of elementary civil rights......his standard style when he is exposed, reaching truly grotesque levels in his efforts to discredit Norman Finkelstein (and even his mother, probably a new low in depravity) after Finkelstein's meticulous documentation of Dershowitz's astonishing lies in his vulgar apologetics for Israeli crimes.""

If that's the best example of a voice in opposition that you can manage, you really are up to your hocks in the poo.
