The biggest insult to the memory of the Holocaust is not denying it, but using it as an excuse to justify the genocide of the Palestinian people – Norman Finkelstein

Acclaimed scholar & author Norman Finkelstein delivered a powerful and defiant address at UMass, Amherst, on Sept. 24, 2025. Speaking before a packed audience, Finkelstein tackled Israel’s mass killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza; the long history of Israel’s brutal occupation, siege, and successive wars and atrocities in the Strip; the bipartisan complicity of U.S. political leaders, corporate media, and global institutions; the mounting McCarthyite crackdown on free speech, dissent, and academic freedom; and the need for a resurgent movement led by young people to reclaim free speech and renew democracy
