Making Contact – Ali Abunimah on ‘Delegitimizing’ Israel

US government support for Israel has never been stronger.  But a consumer boycott of  Israel is gaining steam, and wherever they travel, Israeli government officials are being confronted and denounced.  Author and activist Ali Abunimah says a global movement against Israeli government policy is breaking through. On this edition, Ali Abunimah explains why he thinks Israel has ‘lost the argument’ over who’s right and wrong…and where he thinks the movement to free Palestine is headed next.
