Norm Finkelstein Answers Your Israel & Gaza Questions

 

Norm Finkelstein joins the show once again and this time responds to the frequently asked questions or frequently made arguments in defense of Israel like, "Doesn't Israel have the right to defend itself?"; "Israel gave Gaza to the Palestinians and look what happened." ;"Hamas is firing rockets and uses people as human shields. What is Israel supposed to do?"; "I don't like some of the things the Israeli government does but it has the right to exist."; "What about Egypt's blockade of Gaza?"; "What about the other Arab countries not helping Palestinians?"; "The Unites States is just as racist and militarist as Israel. Does this country have the right to exist? Would you be happy if people wanted to dissolve the country?"; "What will happen if Israel ceases to exist? Will there be a home for Jews? Where will they go? How will they be treated in the land they're living in now?"; "What about Saudi Arabia? Or North Korea? Or other countries that commit human rights violations?"; "Israel isn't a colonial power. This was all England's doing." Please add your own.
