[494] Final Judgment 591
Regarding the Sources:
Lest it be said by any of my critics that I have "failed to footnote some
quotations," I will point out that there are a handful of direct quotations that
appear in the book that are not footnoted per se, but are clearly cited as to
the source within the text of the book itself.
In light of outrageous and malicious (and, I must say, fruitless) efforts to
refute previous editions of Final Judgment—in particular the egregious
smears and misrepresentations and distortions by an agenda-driven clique at
the Schaumburg, Illinois Library, a pathetic "team" led by an Israeli, Uri
Toch—I feel compelled to make notations such as this.
(The aforementioned Shaumburg affair is described in some detail in
the subsequent concluding section of this book—"Final Word?"—which, as
the title suggests, indicates that there is probably much more, ultimately,
that can be said about the thesis presented in Final Judgment.
In addition, in the question and answer section—entitled "Default
Judgment"—I address a number of specific allegations by a handful of
critics who have alleged (falsely) that my thesis is founded on having relied
upon "biased" or "extremist" or "anti-Israel" sources.
As any honest reader can see, by simply referring to the reference notes and
the bibliography, there is absolutely no way that my critics can contend that
Final Judgment is founded (even marginally) on sources "outside the
mainstream," claims by my critics notwithstanding.
And as I note in the "Challenge to the Readers" that appears in the final
pages of Final Judgment, I am eagerly inviting my critics to show where I
have misrepresented or misinterpreted or misquoted the writings of others.
Thus far, no one has been able to do it.
However, as you will see, my agenda-driven critics at the Schaumburg
Library managed not only to misquote not just me but also other writers, as
well as distort what others (and I) had written. Vile trickery such as this,
common to most all of my critics, leads me to believe that my thesis is very
much on the right track. When critics must resort to lies and
misrepresentations, their motives must be questioned.
Because of the controversial nature of my thesis, I am probably one of a
handful of writers who must be so precise in defending their work.
However, I am pleased to do it. I have no apologies.
