As ICC Considers Probing Israel for War Crimes, U.S. Moves to Defund U.N.
Palestine Refugee Agency
Israel is facing a possible International Criminal Court war crimes probe
over its 2014 assault on Gaza and the ongoing expansion of settlements in the
occupied West Bank. Despite the threat, the Israeli defense minister
announced on Tuesday Israel would approve the construction of hundreds of new
settlement homes in the West Bank. This comes as Sweden criticized the Trump
administration for threatening to cut off hundreds of millions of dollars of
annual aid to the U.N.'s relief agency for Palestinian refugees. Palestinian
legislator Hanan Ashrawi compared President Trump's threat to cut off aid
money to blackmail. For more, we speak with author and scholar Norman
Finkelstein. His new book is titled “Gaza: An Inquest into Its Martyrdom.”
Norman Finkelstein is the son of Holocaust survivors. He is the author of
many other books, including “The Holocaust Industry: Reflections on the
Exploitation of Human Suffering” and “Knowing Too Much: Why the American
Jewish Romance with Israel Is Coming to an End.”
