Fintan Drury

Join journalist Fintan Drury for the Liam Cahill Memorial Lecture as he re-examines the mass displacement of Palestinians between 1947 and 1949. In Catastrophe II: Nakba, Fintan maintains that a second Nakba is unfolding today. He explores the long history leading to the October 7th Hamas attacks and critiques Israel’s response and the role of Western powers, a theme also taken up in his new book Genocide: Sponsoring the Destruction of Palestine which argues that without Western sponsorship, the current Palestinian genocide could not have happened.
