Norman Finkelstein and Craig Mokhiber discuss the righteousness of South African’s solidarity with Palestine and the bravery of the Houthis. Norman Finkelstein “if genocide is the crime of crimes, then I say the Houthis are the hero of heroes.” He contrasts the Houthi's heroism with the “smug” Europeans who failed to defend the people of Gaza despite their “superiority about European civilization and human rights.”
Norman Finkelstein is a political scientist, prolific author, and son of Holocaust survivors. He 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, and GAZA: An inquest into its martyrdom, I'LL BURN THAT BRIDGE WHEN I GET TO IT! Heretical Thoughts on Identity Politics, Cancel Culture, and Academic Freedom. In the year 2020, Norman Finkelstein was named the fifth most influential political scientist in the world.
Craig Mokhiber is a longtime international human rights lawyer who served as director of the New York Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. He has resigned after publicly accusing the U.N. of failing to address what he calls a "text-book case of genocide" unfolding in Gaza. His resignation letter has gone viral.
