YouTube Description
as posted by the channelNorman Finkelstein is the foremost scholar on the politics of Palestine and Israel since the foundation of the Israeli state.
He took time out of his busy schedule to speak to us about the deepening crisis in free speech across the globe, that has stemmed from public opposition to Western complicity in the genocide in Gaza.
In a wide-ranging conversation, Professor Finkelstein breaks down a lifetime of work on the Israel-Palestine conflict. He also spells out the ever-complex shifts in the American and global right, and how these shifts make for a dark future, as allegiances fray in the American podcast space when it comes to support for Israel.
Finkelstein details the underlying antisemitism in society and how it is deepened by the crackdown on freedom of expression. Finally, Professor Finkelstein lifts the lid on his first steps in the world of academic research, and how his humble beginnings informed his passion and drive for the truth in everything he does.
Norman Finkelstein’s new book is Gaza’s GravediggersAn Inquiry into Corruption in High Places, published by OR Books
