#NormanFinkelstein #Gaza #FreeSpeech Acclaimed scholar & author Norman Finkelstein delivered a powerful and defiant address at UMass, Amherst, on Sept. 24, 2025. Speaking before a packed audience, Finkelstein dissected Israel's mass killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza; the long history of Israel’s brutal occupation, siege, and successive "high-tech killing sprees" and atrocities in the Strip; the bipartisan complicity of U.S. political leaders, corporate media, and global institutions in the face of these crimes; the mounting McCarthyite crackdown on free speech, dissent, and academic freedom at home; and the need for a resurgent movement led by young people to reclaim free speech and renew democracy. 👉 Watch now and share widely. #Palestine #IsraelPalestine #Ceasefire #MiddleEast #HumanRights #InternationalLaw #Occupation #WarCrimes #Censorship #AcademicFreedom #CampusProtests #usforeignpolicy Related Video: Be sure to check out our film "The Occupation of the American Mind: Israel's PR War in the United States" -- streaming free here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezNqSAIJIOI
