Finkelstein insists that the focus should be on Israel’s actions in Gaza, which he argues violate international law due to intentional targeting of civilians and excessive civilian casualties. Shmuley defends Israel’s actions against Hamas, accusing Finkelstein of Celebrating Jewish suffering and being a Holocaust denier. Neither offers a clear resolution or productive dialogue, leaving the issue unaddressed.
