‘American Radical’ Looks at Controversial American Jewish Academic Norman Finkelstein
Norman Finkelstein is an American Jewish academic whose stance on America’s foreign policy toward Israel and the Middle East is seen as very controversial. The 2009 documentary ‘American Radical’ looks at the life of this political scientist who is a son of holocaust survivors, whose criticism of Israel has seen him lampooned and hated.
He’s a polarising figure and the kind of emotions he inspires can be seen in this fiery extract from the film.
