“Trump is a bully. He respects power.” Political scientist Norman Finkelstein explains why the Democrats sold the American public on a lie about hope, but why Trump will do nothing to stand up for those who have no power, like working people or Palestinians. This week on The Big Picture Podcast, we welcome back Professor Finkelstein to talk about the aftermath of the US elections, Israel’s war in Gaza and shifting tactics of the Palestine movement.

Has Donald Trump peeled back the veil on America's toxicity? What will his second term mean for Israel, Palestine and the pursuit of justice? This week on The Big Picture Podcast, we welcome back Norman Finkelstein, political scientist, author and legal scholar, to talk about the aftermath of the US elections, Israel’s war in Gaza and shifting tactics of the Palestine movement. Finkelstein has spent his career chronicling in excruciating detail the Israel-Palestine conflict from the perspective of international law, and feels that much of the conversation has framed it the wrong way. It’s not that Israel is betraying the laws of war, it’s actually “following the logic of genocide”. His most recent book ‘I’ll Burn That Bridge When I Get To It’ took a surprising turn, scrutinising the prevalence of identity politics and cancel culture, which Finkelstein argues has undermined movements for justice and left the space open for malicious actors.

- In cynicism and power, the US propaganda machine easily surpasses Orwells Ministry of Truth.
- Now the fight against anti-semitism is being weaponised as a new sanctimonious McCarthyism.
- Unless opposed, neither justice nor our Constitutional right to Free Speech will survive this assault.
