Good evening. It's Friday, July 25th. Welcome to a new episode of System Update, our live nightly show that airs every Monday through Friday at 7 p.m. Eastern, exclusively here on Rumble, the free speech alternative to YouTube.

Tonight, as I previewed last night, we had scheduled and intended to speak with Norman Finkelstein, the professor and one of the leading experts in the world, in my view,

And by evidence, I don't just mean testimony of people in Gaza or Gaza journalist or world health organizations,

but many physicians, Western physicians who are in Gaza, who are coming back from Gaza and reporting

on the horrors that they're seeing, as well as official statements from Israeli government

officials about exactly what they are carrying out and what their intentions are with regard

to the blockade that they continue to impose to prevent food from getting into the people in

Gaza. We're seeing babies and young kids and even now adults starving to death.

Again, as the result of a deliberate starvation policy,

that, again, is part of a war that the United States is paying for,

that the United States under two successive presidents has been arming,

and the United States and the West continues to diplomatically support.

One of the ways that you know that the horrors have become so immense is that many Western

politicians, even Western governments, are now suddenly, after 18 to 20 months of steadfastly
