Norm Finkelstein argues back that anti-Semitism is defined as an "irrational" hatred of Jews, but that the resentment is rational.

Hasan argues that no people are monolithic, and the scapegoating of Jews is a common tactic. That people understand that when Tucker Carlson says America has "demographic concerns", that is white supremacy.

He says that if Jews were monolithic there would not be such a generational divide on Zionism and billions spent to maintain its indoctrination.

Finkelstein says he would not tell someone who has experienced the Holocaust that they should not hate Germans. And that he would not argue with a Palestinian who feels the same way about Jews.

Norm cites that 95% of Israeli citizens agree with the force used against Gaza, and that its citizen army that represents its population carried out mass starvation as a method of war.

Hasan Piker says he agrees with the facts, but he has a more optimistic perspective in terms of changing people's minds on conflating Judaism with Zionism.

I see that Norm's got a new book out (Gaza's Gravediggers: An Inquiry Into Corruption in High Places). Anyone read it yet?

(also, if you wanna hear Norm really spit on this issue, check out this lecture he gave recently)
