In a conversation that's immediately so rich Briahna forgets to introduce him, preeminent Gaza scholar, author, and professor Norman Finkelstein addresses how the crusade against wokeness is being weaponized by some, like Columbia Professor John McWhorter, to justify pro-Zionist free speech crackdowns on campus, and whether left-critics of woke excesses have any responsibility to adjust their critiques as a response. He also debates the utility of the term "Zionism" versus "Jewish Supremacy," and offers Brie a hilarious bit of dating advice. It's a sprawling, intimate conversation you wont want to miss.
