## Resource

Political scientist, author, and one the foremost authorities on Gaza, Norman Finkelstein, returns to Bad Faith to debate how the left should mange the political right's dominance within the anti-Zionist, pro-Palestine movement. With huge platforms and enormous influence, figures like Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and Marjorie Taylor Greene have become the dominant Israel-critical voices in the United States. But what are the implications of that given that they embrace politics and conspiracy theories not shared by the left? What obligation do leftists like Norm have to distance themselves from these figures -- even though they have become some of the few hosts that still invite leftists on to their platforms? Also, Finkelstein addresses the long-standing contraversy over his critique of BDS. Norman's forthcoming book is Gaza's Gravediggers: An Inquiry into Corruption in High Places (OR Books, 2026) https://orbooks.com/catalog/gazas-gravediggers/ Subscribe to Bad Faith on YouTube for video of this episode.
