Last week on This Week In Palestine we featured our first edition of the Israel Palestine panel at the Left Forum held at the John Jay College in New York City at the end of May 2016. This week we continue coverage of the panel with Tariq Ali and Norman Finkelstein.
Tariq Ali is a British Pakistani writer, journalist, and filmmaker. He is a member of the editorial committee of the New Left Review, and contributes to The Guardian, CounterPunch, and the London Review of Books.
Norman Finkelstein is a political scientist, activist, professor, and author. His primary fields of research are the Israeli/Palestinian conflict and the politics of the Holocaust, an interest motivated by the experiences of his parents who were Jewish Holocaust survivors.
We return to our recording of the Left Forum Panel with a question to Norman Finkelstein posed by the panel moderator, Paul Jay of Baltimoreâs Real News Network.
This Week In Palestine (a weekly part of Truth and Justice Radio) is an award-winning three-quarter-hour segment of news from Palestine and discussion of issues relevant to the Palestinians' struggle for freedom from Israel's brutal military occupation and colonization of their homeland. It speaks from the point of view of Palestinians and those who care about them. It's a regular part of Truth and Justice Radio, aired Sundays 6-10am ET on WZBC 90.3FM, Newton, MA, streaming and archived for two weeks at wzbc.org; TJR's website, truthandjusticeradio.org, has a link to This Week In Palestine archives back thru 1-6-2008; earlier editions are obtainable from radio4all.net or by navigating through our playlists.
