Israel, Zohran Mamdani and the coming class war | Norman Finkelstein | The Big Picture

In a fiery and deeply personal return to The Big Picture Podcast, professor Norman Finkelstein explains why Israel and its allies in the West have destroyed the international order, and how the election of a Muslim socialist in New York threatens their grip on power. Finkelstein is a political scientist and one of the world’s foremost scholars on Israel-Palestine, as well as a critic of culture and empire. He is the author of 'The Holocaust Industry' and most recently, I’ll Burn That Bridge When I Get To It.
