Norman Finkelstein sent me this (I cite with his permission): "In the link for the Riad Malki item, one reads at the bottom:
In addition, this year's conference featured a very special event: the announcement of the first annual Washington Institute Book Prize. This lucrative prize is awarded by an independent jury to recognize three outstanding books that advance America's understanding of Middle Eastern politics and U.S. politics. There's an amusing story here. The three-person jury was starred by Bernard Lewis. The book given the Silver Prize was Ginor and Remez, FOXBATS OVER DIMONA. Their book is an out-and-out hoax. Should you want to look at my documentation, I can forward it."
