Unregistered 248: Norman Finkelstein

Unregistered with Thaddeus Russell

Show Notes

Since 2007, Norman Finkelstein has been blacklisted from academia and considered a pariah among the liberal establishment for his fierce criticism of the state of Israel and what he calls "the Holocaust industry." He joined me to discuss his new book, I'll Burn That Bridge When I Get To It, which is an equally provocative attack on identity politics in the contemporary left.

Most of the opponents of US foreign policy continue to put forward the claim that had John F. Kennedy lived he would have ended the Cold War with the Soviet Union and withdrawn US forces from Vietnam. These same antiwar people insist that JFK was assassinated because of his desire for peace and blame pro-war and pro-empire elements in the foreign-policy establishment for the killing of the president. Tonight on the second Unregistered Live Stream, we will correct the record on who Kennedy was, what he believed in, and what he intended for Vietnam, the world, and for the global empire of the United States.
