“Would you cavort and carouse with war criminals?"
Norman Finkelstein asks, is shunning Israeli students antisemitic, as Harvard alleges in its recent report? Do Israeli students, who likely served as IDF soldiers, have blood on their hands? Shouldn’t they be shunned on campus for probable complicity in war crimes, or genocide? Norman makes the case.
He then challenges Cornel West and Nadine Strossen to debate him on the merits of "shunning" versus engaging with war criminals.
