Marc Lamont Hill joins us to respond to a fiery exchange between Holocaust scholar and pro-Palestine advocate Norm Finkelstein and Shmuley Boteach, a Zionist rabbi, moderated by Piers Morgan. In this conversation, Shmuley takes Finkelstein to task for citing Lula’s comments on Israeli violence in Palestine, and calls into question his credentials as a scholar of the Holocaust, implying, as so many of Finkelstein’s opponents have done, that he is a Holocaust denier. Boteach also cites the ICJ’s decision on whether to classify Israel’s actions in Palestine as genocide, and Norm’s response reveals how Zionists deliberately misread the historical record and engage in character assassination to take on their opponents.
What the heck is going on with KK&F? Last week there was no email for the video version, but when the audio email arrived, the link was to the video. This week there was no video email & only the audio is available on Substack. It makes me question the value of my annual subscription.
What’s strange is that the clips from the show that they post under Kyle’s channel posted, but the email with the full video never dropped. Even though I mostly listen at 2x, I prefer to have the video on in the background.
Great interview. I have a bone to pick regarding the phrase “anti-semite.”
According to dictionary.com, semitic refers to “a subfamily of Afroasiatic languages that includes Akkadian, Arabic, Aramaic, Ethiopic, Hebrew, and Phoenician.“
Following this definition, calling Palestinians anti-Semitic is equivalent to saying they are “self-hating Arabs.” That the phrase has been appropriated to exclusively refer to Jewish detractors seems sort of like saying Mick Jagger invented the blues.
Where's the video version?
was the video version ever sent out this week? does anyone know?
Where's the vid? Understand if there was some tech issue, but would appreciate some communication...
