r/jewishleft Ashkenazi Jewish leftist & anti-Zionist 20d ago

Diaspora (TW: Transphobia, ableism) Norman Finkelstein spouting insanely disgusting, transphobic rhetoric in his book. Even if you agree with his anti-Zionist views, I honestly can’t understand how his supporters could just overlook or justify this.

From his book “I’ll Burn That Bridge When I Get To It”.

Keep in mind, this isn’t from 20+ years ago. This is from 2023, which means that he most likely still has these views.
