Nick Mutch -07/15/2015 Norman Finkelstein is an outspoken and controversial scholar of the Israel/Palestine conflict and one of Israel's most consistent and trenchant critics. Along with prominent Israeli historian Benny Morris, he has recently announced a partnership with Byline, a crowdfunding platform for independent journalism. He intends to use his journalism to raise $100,000, which he will donate to the Al-Awda hospital in Gaza. You can support his journalism and crowdfunding campaign here. Nick Mutch read advance copies of Norman's work on Amnesty International's Gaza war reports, and spoke with him on the phone from New York about his new project.
