The Fifth CourtShow Notes
Episode 126, The Fifth Court featuring – Catastrophe: Nakba II with author Fintan Drury (Legal & Human Rights Special)
Fintan Drury’s Catastrophe: Nakba II is a punch in the gut—not a balanced history lesson. On The Fifth Court, we dig into the polemical argument beneath the exhaustive research, and why it reads more like a rallying cry than a neutral narrative. As a lawyer, judge, or rights campaigner, you’ll find it both infuriating and illuminating. Expect: Legal flashpoints and human rights redlines The rule of law and the right to self-defence A call to action underneath the history If you care about international law, ending impunity, or simply understanding how history becomes a platform for justice, this episode is for you. Listen, discuss, and REPOST this episode to your network—because silence isn't an option.
