Q&A: Norman Finkelstein

posted on June 13, 2012

David Samuels at Tablet interviews the controversial, Jewish political theorist, Norman Finkelstein, about his two news books, Knowing Too Much: Why the American Jewish Romance with Israel Is Coming to an End, and What Gandhi Says about Nonviolence, Resistance, and Courage. On the subject of the Israel-Palestine conflict, Finkelstein states, “we should enforce the law and end the conflict on the basis of international law; that means a two-state settlement and a June ’67 border and a just resolution of the refugee question.” Finkelstein also defends Lebanon and Hezbollah: “the Lebanese have the right to defend their sovereignty, and they have the right to use armed force to evict foreign occupiers.”
