2 Years On: Has the Resistance Won? With Dr Norman Finkelstein

Help us expand our Muslim media project here: https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/membership Donate to our charity partner Baitulmaal here: http://btml.us/thinkingmuslim This week on The Thinking Muslim, we have Dr. Finkelstein to discuss Gaza two years after October 7, 2023. We explore the moral and political legitimacy of Palestinian resistance, Israel’s military response, and the role of the U.S. in enabling it. Dr. Finkelstein also examines Netanyahu’s motivations, the collapse of the two-state solution, and what a just, post-Zionist future could look like for Palestinians, Israelis, and the wider region.
