First, IMEMC’s current weekly report of current events. Then, Amy Goodman’s interview of Professor Norman Finkelstein. Finkelstein is one of today’s clearest voices about Israeli war crimes, which is not heard in mainstream media. He points out the obvious and normally overlooked fact that the massacre of Gaza was not part of any war. Gaza has no soldiers, only victims, some of whom are labeled as “militants.”

DePaul University recently announced that political science professor Norman Finkelstein would not be getting tenure. That means the school rejected his bid for a permanent job.
Finkelstein’s work is controversial – he accuses some Jews of creating and profiting from what he calls the “Holocaust industry”. He also condemns Israel’s treatment of Palestinians. He also happens to be the son of Holocaust survivors.
But some people in academia say there was too much outside interference and personal politics driving DePaul’s decision not to keep him.

What role does the pro-Israel lobby play in the shaping of American foreign policy? Although discussions of this issue date back decades, the debate has recently been brought into the mainstream by an article published in the London Review of Books in March 2006 by John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt, which charges that the influence of the Israel lobby result in policies that are in essence incompatible with American interests. Apart from the predictable chorus of Anti-Semitic accusations which the article gave rise to, it also gave rise to a serious debate within the progressive movement, in an attempt to accurately assess the power of the lobby and its influence both on policies and on public opinion.
The two guests on our program have been important contributors to that debate:
Norman Finkelstein is a Professor of Political Science at DePaul University. He is the author of a number of books as well as articles on the history of Zionism, and on the role of the holocaust in shaping Israeli present day policies. His latest book published in (2005) is Beyond Chutzpah: On the Misuse of Anti-Semitism and the Abuse of History.
James Petras is a retired Bartle Professor (Emeritus) of Sociology at Binghamton University, SUNY. He is the author of numerous books and articles on the making of state power and globalization, in the context of the US and Latin America and most recently in the Middle East. Is latest book published in 2006 is titled The Power of Israel in the United States.
