Summary

Political scientist, prolific author, son of Holocaust survivors and fearless critic of Israel Norman Finkelstein joins Katie Halper for a livestreamed discussion about Israel's attacks on Palestinians, the significance of the reports on its apartheid state by Human Rights Watch and Israel's own human rights organization B'Tselem, why he thinks Israel may be at a turning point and overplayed its hand, and why it's a lunatic state. Finkelstein is the author of 11 books, including Gaza: An Inquest into Its Martyrdom, The Holocaust Industry: Reflections on the Exploitation of Human Suffering and Knowing Too Much: Why the American Jewish Romance with Israel Is Coming to an End. http://normanfinkelstein.com/
