Finkelstein I Accuse!-OR Books","Norman G. Finkelstein’s I Accuse! argues that the ICC Chief Prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, declined to investigate alleged Israeli criminality by misrepresenting facts and stripping the Gaza context from the record. Central focus is the 31 May 2010 attack on a Gaza-bound humanitarian flotilla, including the Mavi Marmara, which left multiple passengers dead and many injured. The book contends that internal ICC pushback requires either renewed investigation of Israeli crimes or Bensouda’s resignation.","NORMAN G .

Its comprehensive examination of both the facts and the law of these assaults provides the most authoritative account of this brutal history.”  \n—JOHN DUGARD, Professor Emeritus, Leiden University, former Special Rapporteur to the UN Human Rights Council on Human Rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and member of the International  \nLaw Commission  \nThis finely honed  \nskills is directed  \nindictment by a writer widely acknowledged for his forensic at Fatou Bensouda, the Chief Prosecutor of the International  \nCriminal Court. It sets out how she defiled her office by refusing to investigate credible allegations of Israeli criminality.  \nOn 31 May 2010, Israeli forces attacked a humanitarian flotilla bound for Gaza. Nine passengers on the flotilla’s flagship, the Mavi Marmara, were killed (a tenth died later from his injuries) . Scores of people were injured, and others suffered physical abuse.  \nWhen the Israeli attack was referred to the ICC, the Chief Prosecutor ruled that the incident was not of sufficient gravity to warrant an official investigation. Bensouda could reach this conclusion only by grossly misrepresenting the facts of the case and removing the assault from its context—the illegal Israeli blockade and the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.  \nThough she declared the case closed, an unprecedented pushback from within the ICC has forced the Chief Prosecutor to revisit it. If justice is to prevail, Finkelstein insists, Bensouda must either investigate alleged Israeli crimes or resign.  \nNORMAN G. FINKELSTEIN received his doctorate from the Princeton University Department of Politics and has taught for many years. His books have been translated into more than fifty foreign editions.
