Political scholar Norman Finkelstein argues that calling what’s happening in Gaza a ‘war’ is not just inaccurate, it's propaganda. He says in a war, the goal is to inflict a military defeat on your enemy. In a genocide, the goal is to annihilate a civilian population. Finkelstein argues that the two are exact opposites and that the language we use matters.
He also warns that reaching for the term ‘Gaza war’ doesn't just misrepresent reality, it is ‘an instrument of Israeli propaganda.’
Political scientist, author, and activist Norman Finkelstein joins Roundtable for a one-on-one interview to share his views.
