GUARDING THE GUARDIANS: NORMAN FINKELSTEIN ON KEEPING HUMAN RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS HONEST

August 26, 2015

In Blog News

Norman Finkelstein talks to Jamie Stern-Weiner about his experiences writing and publishing his recent critique of Amnesty’s reporting on Operation Protective Edge.

In an 11-part series exclusive to Byline, Norman Finkelstein subjected Amnesty International’s reports on Operation Protective Edge, Israel’s summer 2014 assault on the Gaza Strip, to a forensic critique.

But why is it important to keep organizations like Amnesty honest? Jamie Stern-Weiner, who is co-authoring a forthcoming book, HOW TO SOLVE THE ISRAEL-PALESTINE CONFLICT, with Finkelstein and Mouin Rabbani, sat down with Finkelstein to discuss the politics of human rights organizations, and their role in the struggle for justice in Palestine.
