Israel/Palestine: The History and What’s Real? Opposing Views with Norman Finkelstein and David Brog
Manage episode 380402387 series 2688805
Hey guys, this is a sensitive topic and I tried to find two knowledgeable people to speak with to just hear both sides of the “history”. It seems like the world is split on this issue in a very extreme way and I always think speaking to people on “both sides” can be beneficial. In this episode of Opposing Views, I was joined by David Brog, and Norman G. Finkelstein, both have spent much of their lives researching the history of Israel and Palestine and living in the area. This wasn’t an easy episode to make and I’m sure I missed things and could have done a better job asking questions but I did my best and there was only so much we could fit into the 2 hours. I hope it helps provide some information so you can form your own opinions. Avoiding one side of a massive argument isn’t a good idea, ever.
David Brog is the president of the Edmund Burke Foundation, which hosts the annual National Conservatism conference. He’s also the Nevada Co-Chair of Term Limits USA. In 2022, he placed 2nd out of 8 candidates in the Republican primary for Nevada’s 1st congressional district. He is a graduate of Princeton University and Harvard Law School.
David Brog is the author of Reclaiming Israel’s History: Roots, Rights and the Struggle for Peace (2017) - https://a.co/d/e36homB
Norman G. Finkelstein received his PhD from the Princeton University Politics Department in 1987. He is the author of many books that have been translated into 60 foreign editions, including THE HOLOCAUST INDUSTRY: Reflections on the exploitation of Jewish suffering, GAZA: An inquest into its martyrdom, and most recently, I ACCUSE! Herewith a proof beyond reasonable doubt that ICC Chief Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda whitewashed Israel. In the year 2020, Norman Finkelstein was named the fifth most influential political scientist in the world.
Finkelstein is the author of Gaza: An Inquest into Its Martyrdom (2021) - https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520318335/gaza
