The Rise and Fall of Palestine w/ Norman Finkelstein
Episode Notes
Norman Finkelstein is a political scientist whose work focuses on the Israel-Palestine conflict. He is the author of numerous books, including Image and Reality of the Israel-Palestine Conflict and Gaza: An Inquest into its Martyrdom.
This conversation is largely about one of Professor Finkelstein’s first books: The Rise and Fall of Palestine. Published almost two decades ago, the book is based on the time Finkelstein spent staying in the West Bank, while the first intifada was underway.
We talked about Rise and Fall and about how the book's contents relate to what’s happening in Gaza today. Our conversation also touched on the US election results and what they might mean for Gaza and the wider region.

Trump's Unholy Alliance w/ Paul Jay
Episode Notes
This episode of Oats for Breakfast features an interview with journalist and filmmaker Paul Jay about a recent essay he wrote titled, "Trump’s Unholy Alliance: Risking the Apocalypse for Dollars (https://theanalysis.news/trumps-unholy-alliance-fanatical-billionaires-and-pro-worker-christian-nationalism/).” The essay looks at the two major poles of support that Trump’s current run for the presidency has based on: Silicon Valley tech billionaires on the one hand and Christian nationalists on the other.
During the podcast interview, Paul discusses why a second Trump term would be qualitative different and, more dangerous, than previous Republican presidencies, including Trump’s first term in office. We also talk about what it might take, over the long term, to beat back the advances that the far-right has been making in the US and Canada.
