NORMAN FINKELSTEIN ON THE GENOCIDE IN GAZA | A Busboys and Poets Presentation

The Gaza Strip is among the most densely populated places in the world. More than two-thirds of its inhabitants are refugees, and more than half are under eighteen years of age. Since 2004, Israel has launched eight devastating “operations” against Gaza’s largely defenseless population. Thousands have perished, and tens of thousands have been left homeless. In the meantime, Israel has subjected Gaza to a merciless illegal blockade. What has befallen Gaza is a man-made humanitarian disaster that has only grown in the years since. Since October 7th 2023 the world has been watching in horror as Israel tightens its blockades, starves the population, and destroys major civilian infrastructure. Based on scores of human rights reports, Norman G. Finkelstein’s book GAZA: AN INQUEST INTO ITS MARTYRDOM presents a meticulously researched inquest into Gaza’s martyrdom. Finkelstein is joining us on the Busboys stage to share his research into the ongoing genocide enacted by the Israeli state against Palestinians in Gaza with guest Krystal Marie Ball. Copies of the book GAZA: AN INQUEST INTO ITS MARTYRDOM will be available for purchase during and after the event, and Finkelstein will be signing after the program.
