Norman Finkelstein received his PhD from the Princeton University
Politics Department, and is best known for his indefatigable
research on Israel and Palestine, which is what he and Robinson
discuss in this episode of the show, marking the culmination of a
three-installment mini-series on Israel and Palestine. In
particular, they discuss the importance—or distraction—of
ideology, whether Israel is ethnically cleansing Palestine, the
message that October 7th sent to the Arab world, what Gaza has in
common with the concentration camps of the Holocaust, Palestinian
and Israeli psychology, and whether this conflict is going to be
the end of humanity. Norman’s most recent book is I’ll Burn That
Bridge When I Get to It! Heretical Thoughts on Identity Politics,
Cancel Culture, and Academic Freedom (Sublation Media, 2023).
