Old Wine Broken Bottle : Norman Finkelstein’s Book Launch

Jews for Justice for Palestinians presents London Launch of Norman Finkelstein’s latest book: “Old Wine Broken Bottle: Ari Shavit’s Promised Land” Start: 6.30pm for a 7pm start. End: 10pm. Norman Finkelstein is a strong speaker celebrated for his brilliant demolitions of Zionist propaganda and full-tilt attacks on the American Israel Lobby. His new book is a take-down of Ari Shavit’s “My Promised Land” which he finds is an attempt to repackage Zionist propaganda and win back Diaspora Jews. “Old Wine Broken Bottle” is a devastating and very entertaining critique that concludes that Shavit will not succeed and that a broad-based mass movement is now growing that can pressure the Israeli government to withdraw to the 1967 borders. But Finkelstein is nothing if not controversial: having defied the Zionist establishment he now stands apart from the mainstream of Palestine solidarity by denouncing the BDS (Boycott Divestment and Sanctions) movement as a marginal “cult”. His vehement insistence on the Two State Solution has also been widely challenged. Professor Finkelstein will open with a conversation with JfJfP signatory Stephen Marks. Then fans and critics alike can put their own questions to him. All are welcome. Expect a bumpy ride!
