Beyond Chutzpah: On the Misuse of Anti-Semitism and the Abuse of History is a book by Norman G. Finkelstein published by the University of California Press in August 2005. The book's focus is on a critique of Israel supporters' defense of Israel's stance in the Israel-Palestine conflict, including their use of the concept of anti-semitism. A major theme of the book is a polemic with Alan Dershowitz's earlier book The Case for Israel (2003) (see also Dershowitz–Finkelstein affair).
