Fact Check: ISRAEL Uses Human Shields

Watch the full conversation with Norman here: Given that Israel is alleged to have bombed a hospital, many of the government’s defenders are attempting to justify the war crime by recycling the “Hamas uses human sheilds” talking point. There’s only one problem. It isn’t true. You’ll never guess who DOES use Human Shields though. Norman Finkelstein, a political scientist, prolific author, and son of Holocaust survivors, talks about Israel’s latest attack on Gaza and debunks some of the most pervasive talking points used to justify Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. 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, 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.
