Political scientist and analyst of Israeli-Palestinian history Norman Finkelstein joined us this week for a conversation on the ongoing bombardment of Gaza by Israel.
In a wide-ranging interview, Dr Finkelstein sets out the historical context for the current conflict, the material conditions that have pushed Gazans to breaking point, and Israeli political and social attitudes to the subjugation of the Palestinian population.

Finkelstein: "If You lost the capacity to see the innocents of children, You lost your mind, You're crazy." So true!
Yep. They're pure psychopaths.
❤❤
💯💯💯💯💯💯
They're criminally insane and wonder why they are so hated by the world!
We literally have fanatics running US foregin policies when it comes to the ME. Wheres the rationale politicians Govt officials?
As a Jew whose ancestors were murdered by the Nazis, Professor Finkelstein is a shining example of what the rest of us Jews should strive to be: truly learned and moral Jewish citizens of the world. The mainstream Jewish attitude towards what is happening in Israel-Gaza (and the West Bank), the callousness and lack of empathy, fills me with shame and despair. NEVER AGAIN = NEVER AGAIN FOR ANYBODY!
Jews like you and Finkelstein are our brothers and sisters, we Palestinians are proud of you❤
He is a true Jew that OBEY's YHWH COVENANT and follows Torah Scripture LEVETICUS 19:33.34 in the treatment of those who dwell alongside Jews in the land .
They are anty Jws as Norm calls them. “The fals6 vine: The ‘sina.gog” of ‘Say.tan’ who say they are Jws but are liars.”Rev 3.9 Anyone with morals or any humanity would say the same as you: Never again for anybody!
Some may refer to a Kapo or the male version of Stella Goldshlag.
We know that the majority of the Jewish people are very good people who want peace for the Palestinians but the Politics of Hertzel is the criminal ideology which will be the fall of the Jewish state.
Dr. Finkelstien I am a Palastinian that grew up poor but at the end of the day I had some to eat, I can’t imagine what your mother has gone through and the people of Gaza are going through now . Thank you so much for courage and the way you stand for humanity.
Dr. Finkelstein is a load of horse manure. Totally delusional.
What qualifies him..What qualifies him. You should be respectful to your guest. Especially one such as this guest. He is deserving of one's respect. Period!
@@user-wc8or5ll1n dude what's wrong with you? he just made a positive comment and you're getting triggered by it like seriously.
@@lilgig009 thank you! 🙏 🙏🏼
@user-wc8or5ll1n what are you talking about? 🍉👊
You notice that Finklestein is always on smaller channels speaking out for the suffering of Gaza and laying the facts straight - that's probably why you don't see him on corporate media - he would destroy their lies. Much appreciation and respect
He's been blacklisted because he showed Dershowitz to be a liar. Dershowitz went on a campaign to destroy his career and have mostly succeeded.
@@TheNonparielyep and they still parade dershowitz around not just after the plagiarism but even him and epstein stuff.
It was nice to see him on the Candace Owens Podcast! Whether or not you're right wing (I am not), it's always positive to see someone like him on a platform with a larger audience.

"That's probably," ya think? Why am I banned, blocked, cancelled and imploded? Same thing 15+ years ago right here on YTooob.
This professor lost his job because he was speaking the truth.

Herr Norman Finkelstein Ihnen alles möglichst Gute. Gesundheit. Vielen vielen Dank fuer ihren Einsatz in Ihrem Leben fuer Palästina und fuer die Palästinenser. Thank you very very much .
what are we going to do , vote these Zionist traitors out of DC
Viva Palestina!!
This man has been speaking the truth and fighting for it for over half a century. ✊

Why Norman Finkelstein, who has been a vocal supporter of Palestinian Arab rights for decades, believes the BDS movement is dishonest and actually seeks the destruction of Israel. "I’ve earned my right to speak my mind, and I’m not going to tolerate what I think is silliness, childishness, and a lot of leftist posturing. I mean we have to be honest, and I loathe the disingenuous. They don’t want Israel. They think they are being very clever; they call it their three-tier. We want the end of the occupation, the right of return, and we want equal rights for Arabs in Israel. And they think they are very clever because they know the result of implementing all three is what, what is the result? You know and I know what the result is. There’s no Israel! And if you don’t want the same framework then stop talking about the law and stop trying to be so clever. Because you’re only so clever in your cult. The moment you step out you have to deal with Israeli propaganda. And here they have a case. They say no they’re not really talking about rights. They’re talking about they want to destroy Israel. And in fact I think they’re right I think that’s true. I’m not going to lie. But this kind of duplicity and disingenuous, “oh we’re agnostic about Israel.” No you’re not agnostic! You don’t want it! Then just say it! But they know full well: If you say it you don’t have a prayer reaching a broad public. Because that’s where the public is right now."

Norman, I am an American Muslim and I honestly believe you are one of the greatest human being alive. I wish you all the best in this life and a reward in the hereafter.
I am an american Christian and feel exactly as you do. I hope both of us get to meet and talk with him in Heaven.
Norman Finkelstein has left his mark on this conflict reminding everybody of their humanity.
Too bad he can't remind the Israelis of their humanity. But yes I agree one hundred percent.
Well, not everyone. There are many who refuse to focus on anything other than Oct 7. Many believe the conflict is mainly over border lines... And that's become the very least of things for the Palestinians
I have thought about having my own YT channel just so I can talk to him. I've known only a handful of people in my nearly 60 years that use language and words so precisely. Every word he speaks is said for its meaning. There's no fluff, at least when he speaks on this topic
@@B_Bodziak he does zoom lectures to the public go to his website
@@B_Bodziak Yeah they want no Isreal. NO peace. No 2 state solution.
Prof. Finkelstein will be remembered as a hero for the humane! Thank you professor!
I hope he lives long enough to see a free Palestine...perhaps be a citizen of a free Palestine.
You trolls like opinions and always seem to disregard facts. It is YOUR DUTY to read up before expressing your opinions: FACT 1. The West soundly W.O.N. WW1 and WW2 by defeating evil empires (like truly evil) such as the Nazis, Japan and even the Ottoman Empire. GET OVER IT! FACT 2. The West could do what it wanted with conquered territories, such as the British Mandate of Palestine (much bigger than todays Israel!). It was given to the Jews. GET OVER IT! FACT 3. The West or Israel did not create Gaza; a so called "open air prison". It was Egypt after l.o.s.i.n.g the 1947/1948 wars it started with Jordan & Syria against Israel. GET OVER IT! FACT 4. Finkelstein is not a tenured professor. His H-index (quantity & quality of research) is lower than mine even. SEE THROUGH HIS BS! His calm tone means nothing when what he says are mere opinions and sometimes borderline alternative facts and conspiracies. One less apparent example: His analogies about slave revolts in the US, which were indeed juste causes, are misplaced, misleading and even inappropriate considering the above facts (Egypt made Gaza what it is) and spreading terror, jihad, or religion is not a juste cause in the first place!

@@blackpinklisa3615 What is the IDF? Maybe you mean The ICF (The Israeli Criminal Force)😂
After having listened to Netanyahu's opinions and thousands of Israeli kids on different mediums, I concluded that the Israeli society should be a concern for the youth of the world. If I had to use one word to describe the collective consciousness of Israel, that would be sociopathic.
Satanic
"The Nazis made me afraid to be a Jew, and the Israelis make me ashamed to be a Jew". Dr. Shahak was an Israeli professor of organic chemistry, a Holocaust survivor and a civil rights advocate and activist.
i feel sorry for the many jewish people who have their identity being used as an excuse for such atrocities. zionism is detrimental to EVERYONE even the people they claim they are
"I don't feel Israel is a Jewish state; it's a lunatic state." Well put!
Maybe jews can be lunatics too! They are human you know.
Yeah, it just seems wrong to call such a wicked government Jewish. Especially after so many centuries of Europe's Jewish communities doing *so* much to right the wrongs of the world, to oppose imperialism and resist capitalism, and feudalism before it. Granted they participated in a lot of that stuff as well but I would say that they're a vital, dynamic and admirable part of European history and I think it's downright criminal to say they're tied to or responsible for, the crimes of the state of Israel. Their insistence of maintaining a distinct identity in the face of the most powerful empires in history is exactly the kind of stubbornness I love. They thumbed their noses at the romans, the Russians, the british, the French, and the germans, and the Spanish, and kept on being them. Imagine the temerity,the creativity, and audacity that took, generation after generation of righteously indignant folks. Zionism was a terrible idea and if Theodore Herzl was still alive I would slap him for coming up with it.
@@seekingabsolution1907 yeah, Germany could use the same exact argument. They’re a major contributor to European culture, to art, to science, to classical music… Russia, could sing you the same song. It’s a majestic and a noble country. Its people are proud, strong, resilient, inventive, humane… I don’t think less of the Jewish community. It’s not about the people and the culture. It’s about politics, radicalism and propaganda on both sides. And one of them being overwhelmingly powerful. Israel’s government is reckless, volatile. They put themselves, the Israeli people and the whole world peace in peril. They don’t care about the hostage. They want Gaza, wiped out.
exactly, so many jewish people do not endorse israel and zionism is hurting the image of judaism more than anything else
When I listen to people like Professor Norman Finkelstein, it gives me hope that humanity is still out there... what a professional and intelligent person he is. Legend!

Battle on Dr. Norman Finkelstein! May we have you with us many more than 15 years ahead!!!
He don’t look very good . Year or two is my guess . Oh well . He maybe has 72 ? Virgins waiting for him if he hurries up and reverts ? Converts ? Course they would have be under 9 ? How old was Aisha again when you know ..
Much Respect for the Professor Norman Finkelstein.
I cannot sufficiently express my admiration and respect for Professor Norman Finkelstein. I wish he was on every MSM news channel, radio and TV.
Corporate Media can not handle, listening to this truth & if they were tempted to do so, their Puppet Masters, would veto it! The "love of money" corrupts ALL. --------- Psalm 37.
In an odd way Norman Finkelstein may have benefited from not appearing on Main Stream Media channels. Wouldn't he have been cut short by the interviewers? Especially those being told by producers to bring in some pro-Israeli Government apologist to "balance" the discussion?
That will never happen. He would topple the entire msm and expose them for the lying liars who have been lying to the American people for the past 8 decades.
Same
No wonder he’s never invited on the mainstream media. Only dishonest peddling that favors Israeli propaganda is allowed…
Joe and Norman. I am a 81 year old male in Australia and in 1970, as a casual supporter of Israel, I was threatened by Zionists in NZ to be burned alive, along with my entire household, for the crime of publishing an article "The Arab Side of the Story". As it happened, and unknown to me, one of my house mates was Jewish. His father, a Rabbi, and also the Lord Mayor of Auckland, Sir Dove Meyer Robinson, saved my life. Thenceforth, my geopolitical educators were Jewish... Peter Meyer, Israel Shamir, Gilad Atzmon, Schlomo Zand, members of JStreet, of Yesh G'Val, and so many others. I am also a musician, writer, author, researcher, transcultural interpreter, and functionary of many other roles and I am naturally attracted to Jews. Even the women, for their beauty and spirit. So it would be a little silly to accuse me of anti-semitism. Yet I am targeted by Zionists. I am to be destroyed. At least four death threats, some of these actual attempts, to kill me. I have drawn attention to the issue of DNA and the lack of Semitic DNA among Zionists; which are the control element of Israel. After a dozen kill attempts I have no fear of death. Never have; never will. But I have evolved to put together information to guide humany towards peace after WWIII has ended. I need to present this to the world before I die. Sky News is Zionist leader Rupert Murdoch's flag ship, especially in Australia and they will soon target me because I can prove Rupert's criminality. Are you able to proselytise the recent speeches of Norman Finklestein, and also Naomi Klein at the NY protest meet... in Australia. i have no idea how you can do this but that is what we need to overcome the Murdoch, Frank Lowy, Ross Garnau stranglehold on Australian media. Kindest regards, Tony Ryan (tonyryan43@gmail.com)
It's crazy a little learn so small people are arguing over millions of miles away. You being so far away but somehow caught up in the drama. Maybe the world will be more peaceful if things were localized and no one else got involved.
Just curious how a few crazy people you ran into almost 50 years ago represent all zionists and perhaps the specofic characters you dealt with
You need to come out with your story on video mate, that is the only way of warning people today. Tell your story and document it.
Victims card can strike far away since majority are dual citizen,mainstream media owners,and have the biggest lobby all in the US and Europe.The rest of the world work under the big guys If they threatened to destroy is wise to decument and make aware of others what is going on otherwise if you silent it can mean it never happens although it happens to you.

Ironically, DNA was also the "litmus" test among Nazi's as a method of distinguishing racial "purity" of Aryan Germans from the Jews.
This has been best conversation on the subject that I've listened to. I extend my compliments to Oli for being a great interviewer. Oli was efficient in that he put forth only good questions succintly, and he was very patient as he allowed Norman to discuss his views with minimal interruptions. As usual, kudos to Norman for discussing the subject very informatively. I wish more interviews on this subject were like this. Well done to Oli and Norman.
Greetings from South Africa. My dear Norm, you are a true mensch. Your conscience, dedication & hard work shine through. Providence granted you all that in preparation for this moment in time. May the remainder of your life be truly blessed.
My mother was a child of WWII. She always remembered being hungry as a child and later as a college student, even after the victory of 1945. Thank you, Dr. Finkelstein, for being true to your mother's memory and for keeping your integrity no matter what. Not many people are strong enough to not waiver from the truth these days.
Because majority of people are so easily brainwashed . Probably watching too much BBC, CNN, DW France 24 etc .
My mother supports the jen-o-side in Gaza. If she had lived in 1930s Germany, she would have supported that one too. She is pure evil and there are millions like her in the USA.
My grandfather always mentions the hunger from the work camps. Being half polish and half Palestinian has given me a quote unique outlook on how lucky I am to have all the basic necessities of life, but almost feel guilty for such at time. Super sad.
My parents too, it gives you a very real connection doesn’t it .✊❤️
The Dr. Is 1 in a billion. One who speaks the truth with courage. I have much respect and admiration.
Norman Finkelstein always makes me cry. I thank him profoundly for documenting this in detail and I'm glad he happens to be alive so he can see it wasn't a futile effort. I hope he keeps being alive for when Palestine gets freed by its captors and killers.
Didn't really know anything about israel and gaza till this war. Professor Finkelstein explains the history in a way that everyone can understand. This man deserves a noble peace prize for sticking with it for 40 years. He's my hero.
Respect is earned, and professor Norman Finkelstein earned it 100x over.
Agree

@@jeremieerikssonlefebvre2647 I am sure he has more respect for after he spoke the truth The truth always prevails on the long run
@@yousreyakhalil5238 Then you should dig into all the misconceptions he has about the conflict. Even when praising Benny morris work, sitting in front on him, Benny has to point out he is misunderstanding his own work and the complexity of the conflict. In a typical austistic way Norm displays a black and white lens of reality.
My sincere thanks. I'm 75 and it's a privilege to hear Dr. Finkelstein and read his books. I value the information he provides and because of his honesty, frankness, and humility there is always even more for me to reflect on after listening to him speak or reading what he has written. Such extraordinary language skills and quick thinking ability and recall are inspiring and give me greater incentive to use what I have and to develop it as much as possible.

@@virtuosa69 Fellow bad hasbara listener?
Thank you so much for airing this. A great man. A great soul, a brilliant mind. A big heart.
I live in Brighton Beach Brooklyn so I am a neighbor of yours Dr. Finkelstein. My parents are also survivors of the European Holocaust. Unlike you, I was born in the Soviet Union and I lived in Israel in the early 1960's as a young child. My memories of Israel are very good and I have been dealing with learning more about the more realistic history of Israel, compared with what I had learned. That history could have been very different had Israelis and Palestinian had different leadership and had created a society which incorporated the strengths of the different populations instead of exploiting their traumas and vulnerabilities. I am horrified by what is happening now and what has been happening for the last decades. I don't feel Israel represents me or the aspirations of my parents. I think there has to be a shift in consciousness on both sides and I believe there will be. Unfortunately, as is usually the case, the "gods" of violence will destroy many lives in the meanwhile. Thank you for your devotion to the true principles of Judaism and humanity. As Margaret Mead pointed out, it is always a small group which has created change in the world.
True. And it is the small group - those with political, economic and military powers - that has caused the disasters throughout the world. And too, the small group - them who fear God - who has and will correct the world.
The Zionists always knew what they wanted from moving to Israel and that was to take all of Palestine and there was never any care or thought to the Palestinian as a people ,they were seen as an object that needed to be gone so rich jews from Brooklyn could have first dibs on sea views .The way they made the genocide possible was to indoctrinate the children from nationalist Jews to hate and fear the Palestinian in the same way the ultra orthodox do to their children here in Melb .It breaks my heart to see the children here terrified of me when I say hello ,it shocked me to learn they are educated to hate and fear and despise the "Goy" .The Orthodox Jews do it to maintain the status quo of populating those in their religion and the Zionists do it to make sure thier children will have no qualms in murdering though thousands of innocent people .This is why you do not see much anger or support for the people pf Palestine ,they have taught the children well enough that they see the Palestinian as a pest ,a disease ,a non people .

"Mostly civilians" - Incorrect On the 7th, it is crucial to understand that there were no direct attacks on civilians, only collateral damage. Out of the 1148 total names on haaret dataset, 473 military and 675 were civilians. Ratio of civilians to military personnel killed on the 7th was 1 . 4 : 1 - lower than any of the iTf "mowing" operations, which has a ratio of 7 : 1 According to UN OCHA data from 2008 to 2022; The collateral damage on the 7th was significantly lower than any of the ITf "mowing" operations, which had a ratio of 7:1 with 1,023 military personnel out of 6,541 total. On the 7th, with 473 military (418 were iTf military personnel, 55 belonged to the police) out of 1148 total, the ratio of civilians to military personnel was a mere 1.4:1 When including all casualties, not just deaths, the collateral damage ratio of the "mowing" operations is a staggering 162:1 From the 161,233 accumulated civilian casualties over only 14 years of "mowing" operations. A 162 :1 ratio means that for every 162 civillians, 1 military personnel is a casualty. The 7th had a ratio of 1.4:1, more than a hundred times lower. The 473 are - 55 soldiers, 13 privates, 59 corporals, 200 sergeants (45 of whom were sergeant majors), 48 commanders, 32 lieutenants, 5 lieutenant colonels, 6 colonels, 37 officers, 10 inspectors, 6 intendents, and 2 Lance Corp. This was a military defeat, and they are taking it out on the rest. The reported ages of the victims are as follows: 0-4: 2 civilians 5-12: 8 civilians 13-17: 14 civilians 18-25: 132 civilians 26-40: 119 civilians 41-60: 55 civilians 61+: 40 civilians Active duty military personnel: 18-25: 258 active duty military personnel 26-40: 60 active duty military personnel 41-60: 17 active duty military personnel 61+: 1 active duty military personnel They are following scripture, the word עוֹלֵל, ʿôlēl which means 'Babe, infant, little one, a suckling' occurs 21 King James Bible Verses Of these verses: “Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.” -Psalm 137:9 “Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.”-1 Samuel 15:3 “Therefore I am full of the fury of the LORD; I am weary with holding in: I will pour it out upon the children abroad, and upon the assembly of young men together: for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him that is full of days.” -Jeremiah 6:11 “Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.” -Hosea 13:16 The other verses are not much different. Infact it is always in association with violence. Indeed these verses are the reason why in the Crusades the sense of pious rejoicing at massacre does not appear to be the product of later theologizing; it is also found, in the account of the eye-witness Raymond of Aguilers: “in the Temple and porch of Solomon, men rode in blood up to their knees and bridle reins. Indeed, it was a just and splendid judgment of God that this place should be filled with the blood of the unbelievers, since it had suffered so long from their blasphemies.” In fact, Raymond continues, “This day, I say, will be famous in all future ages, for it turned our labours and sorrows into joy and exultation; this day, I say, marks the justification of all Christianity, the humiliation of paganism, and the renewal of our faith.” Another account by a chronicler and eyewitness-priest, Albert of Aachen, describes the killing of fleeing women, and depicts crusaders as:: “seizing [infants who were still suckling] by the soles of their feet from their mothers’ laps or their cradles…and dashing them against the walls or lintels of the doors and breaking their necks […] they were sparing absolutely no gentile of any age or kind.”The incoherence inherent in a stranger to Abraham calling the children of Abraham gentiles notwithstanding, this account evokes the very same Psalm 137:9 imprecation against Babylon, in Latin, “beatus qui tenebit et adlidet parvulos tuos ad petram.” This is the polar opposite in the Quran in Surah Al-Tanwir, literally "The Englightenining" Surah, Aya 8-9, we have the death of a newborn is mentioned amongst the penultimate signs of the end of times, emphasizing the gravity of such an action. That child, now resurrected, is asked for what wrong doing was she murdered. This is to emphasize that she had done nothing wrong, for she had done nothing wrong and this is the day of retribution where those who omitted the evil are to be punished. This is the polar opposite in the Qur'an, Surah Al-Baqara Aya 190, which exhorts to fight unbelievers and not be "Aggressors", in the commentary of what it means to be aggressors, this was stated Al-Hasan Al-Basri stated that transgression (indicated by the Ayah): "includes mutilating the dead, theft (from the captured goods), killing women, children and old people who do not participate in warfare, killing priests and residents of houses of worship, burning down trees and killing animals without real benefit." This is also the opinion of Ibn `Abbas, `Umar bin `Abdul-`Aziz, Muqatil bin Hayyan and others. Muslim recorded in his Sahih that Buraydah narrated that Allah's Messenger said: "Fight for the sake of Allah and fight those who disbelieve in Allah. Fight, but do not steal, commit treachery, mutilate, or kill a child, or those who reside in houses of worship." It is reported in the Two Sahihs that Ibn `Umar said, "The Prophet forbade killing women and children." بابتداء القتال أو بقتال من نهيتم عن قتاله من النساء والشيوخ والصبيان والذين بينكم وبينهم عهد أو بالمثلة أو بالمفاجأة من غير دعوة "To kill those whom you were forbidden to from women, elderly, children and those whom betwixt you is a treaty or custom or by surprise or without cause" -Tafsir Al-Zamakshari of the meaning of Aggressors in the Aya More hadith from Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah: حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ شَيْخٍ، مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ مَوْلَى لِبَنِي عَبْدِ الْأَشْهَلِ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا بَعَثَ جُيُوشَهُ قَالَ: «§لَا تَقْتُلُوا أَصْحَابَ الصَّوَامِعِ» "Do not kill the dwellers of monasteries" حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنْ جُوَيْبِرٍ، عَنِ الضَّحَّاكِ قَالَ: كَانَ «§يُنْهَى عَنْ قَتْلِ الْمَرْأَةِ، وَالشَّيْخِ الْكَبِيرِ» سَعْدٍ قَالَ: «§نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ قَتْلِ النِّسَاءِ وَالذُّرِّيَّةِ، وَالشَّيْخِ الْكَبِيرِ الَّذِي لَا حَرَاكَ بِهِ» "The prophet forbids the killing of women, children, and the elderly" This is the polar opposite in the Qur'an, Surah Al-Anfal Ayah 61 in which even oath breaking deniers/unbelievers are allowed to sue for peace states if the unbelievers they ask for peace, give it to them. The modifiable testament testament commands indiscriminate killing, genocide, plunder, mutilation, enslavement, or torture of enemies, including women, on the other hand.Surah Al-Baqara Aya 190 limits war to those who fight against Muslims, prohibits transgression, and implies respect for human dignity and life Indeed it is what precedes the famous "sword verse", always cited out of context. God did bring down the Qur’an, Mohamed is his Messenger.

The theologians and Muslims will understand also the second part regarding the comparison of religious text on issues of war. It seems all the UN charter regarding rules of engagement in war was written by muslims rwho knew the Koran especially when you read the verses of the quran that you have mention.

Thx for having Finkelstein on
Mr Finklestein, as a Native American I see a correlation between the occupation of Gaza to the tribes in America. It would be an honor to invite you and speak to the Great Navajo Nation tribal members about the history of Palestians. I respect you...AHOO!
Yes, for five hundred years the Western Europeans colonized the entire world. They slaughtered the indigenous people and destroyed their cultures. To this day Western countries pride themselves on their human values and superior culture. We are complete hypocrites.

They can't handle the truth. 😢
Great observation but they are calling him a self hating jew just like they’re calling Ilan Pappe, Avi Shleim, Miko Peled, Gabor matte, Tony Greenstein and few others. What a farse!

You trolls like opinions and always seem to disregard facts. It is YOUR DUTY to read up before expressing your opinions: FACT 1. The West soundly W.O.N. WW1 and WW2 by defeating evil empires (like truly evil) such as the Nazis, Japan and even the Ottoman Empire. GET OVER IT! FACT 2. The West could do what it wanted with conquered territories, such as the British Mandate of Palestine (much bigger than todays Israel!). It was given to the Jews. GET OVER IT! FACT 3. The West or Israel did not create Gaza; a so called "open air prison". It was Egypt after l.o.s.i.n.g the 1947/1948 wars it started with Jordan & Syria against Israel. GET OVER IT! FACT 4. Finkelstein is not a tenured professor. His H-index (quantity & quality of research) is lower than mine even. SEE THROUGH HIS BS! His calm tone means nothing when what he says are mere opinions and sometimes borderline alternative facts and conspiracies. One less apparent example: His analogies about slave revolts in the US, which were indeed juste causes, are misplaced, misleading and even inappropriate considering the above facts (Egypt made Gaza what it is) and spreading terror, jihad, or religion is not a juste cause in the first place!

The truth is starting to seep through though, people are starting to question why the thousands of lies they’re being told isn’t adding up

Love Norm. Thank you.
When intellectual integrity and decency come together, you end up with a Norman Finkelstein. It is a privilege to hear him.
Always ❤
Heroic Finkelstein !
Dear dr norman iam an iranian 41 year old male and i appreaciate you are real humanbeing and i hope you can acheive more than you expect .
Norman: You are an inspiring Spirit. All your interviews have been shared with Palestinians in Jerusalem, Westbank and many in Gaza. We are so proud to learn from you and certainly hold your honesty, humanity, sensitivity, and courage and more and more.
'I am the world's leading authority on Gaza, ... by virtue of the fact that I am the only one.' Thank you, professor, for having persisted becoming the leading authority on Gaza when there was little material or immaterial to gain doing so.
Ha if you think his gift doesn't get him money you are as delusional as he is
Actually I think there are two if you count Miko Peled, author of The General's Son, whose grandfather was top Zionist general in 1948 and father top Zionist general in 1967 war. Miko Peled was himself a Captain in the IDF, but renounced it and has participated in most Palestinian protests over the years. Has many KZhead videos.
A profound thank you, Dr. Finkelstein. Everyone needs to hear this. Naomi Klein's speech at the "Seder in the streets" was wonderful too.

I like Norman more and more, he’s a light in very dark times.
When listening to Finklestein debate Dershowitz and others who view Israel as completely guiltless, it is profoundly clear who has studied the situation and subject of Palestine-Israel with an unbiased and reasoned mind. Thanks to Dr. Finklestein for his academic acumen and expertise on the history of Palestine and Israel.
Dershowitz is pathetic lol
I can listen to this man for hours.
You might hear an entire sentence
Keep up the fight Professor. Support is growing...
Dear Dr Finkelstein, I feel that whatever I am going to say in response to your passionate, thorough and utterly pertinent contribution, it is not going to describe the intensity of my reaction to it. I gave myself some time to organise my thoughts before commenting by doing some ordinary daily tasks. In spite of it, four hours after watching this video, I am still deeply affected by much of what you share, describe and report. I am a contemporary of yours. I recognise some of what you describe as similar to my own childhood experience, albeit very different as well. One thing that resonates is the powerful presence of a mother whose experience to an important extent determined my own political development. It is the 4th of May, the official commemoration day here in the Netherlands. Tonight we will have a two minutes national silence in memory of all those whom died in ww 2. As a young woman I used to go to a memorial site of ordinary neighbourhood lads whom had been killed as they were resisting the invaders. I remember taking lilacs. People honour in their own way for reasons of their own. Tonight will be different from any previous commemoration as many people will be thinking of the atrocities committed against the Palestinian people. Yet I do not think a mention will be made of it. We'll see. I lived in the UK under Tony Blair when Irak was invaded. I remember how I observed with growing dread and disbelief how the fable of 'weapons of mass destruction,' was rolled out. I remember Dr.David Kelly. I remember his visit to Irak to investigate and I remember his suicide. Do I need to say more? Lastly, I have only last week come upon you via you tube and am grateful for now knowing about your existence. Listening to you and some of your interviewers, I felt at times that I was back in the seventies and hearing the same political language again. A language that has been under attack and, I thought, was nowhere to be found anymore. I cannot thank you enough. Lastly, for real this time, I want to take a risk here and ask you to look after yourself. I know I am at risk of being accused of sounding condescending, motherly and or interfering, but really I am being selfish here. I want you to stay alive and have more time enjoy your aliveness and comradeship. Thank you.
Love and respect to Prof. Norman Finkelstein 💯 from the river to the sea PALASTINIANS Will be free ✊

Gracias una vez más profesor Finkelstein por mantenerse firme entre la verdad y la justicia.
The best interview with Norman just yet. The host is superb; Asked challenging questions but gave space for the answers. Giving listeners a real conversation and dialogue that was illuminating! Bravo, Politics Joe, Well done !
But at the beginning was insulting to Norm
Nope, not “bravo, Politics Joe!” The questions weren’t “challenging.” The questions were framed in a way that betrayed this guy’s uninformed and thoroughly propagandized view of the issues at hand, and frankly, are offensive in their delivery and their implied content.
Not that any of those questions are a problem for Prof. Finkelstein. He eats implications like these for breakfast. Swats them down like flies. He’s an intellectual Michael Jordan. He dominates the court without even trying.
Simply excellent. That mainstream legacy media refuses to even acknowledge this man's existence tells me all I need to know about western media.
Any side of any army MUST NOT attack civillians ..

Norman's intellect paired with his deep, deep humanity and compassion is truly a winning combination. His description of Blair is both terrifying and funny at the same time. What a gem.
Thank you professor! GOD bless you and may GOD enlighten you to see the truth always.
Until the end of civilization on this plant Norman's courageous articulation of the truth of these matters will stand alone in the history of humanity. Few of us ordinary mortals have the knowledge even less the courage of Norman Finkelstein! Shalom, Kilroy NYC
Wow, thank you for explaining this horrific genocidal slaughter being done against the Palatinian people..unbelievable 😢
Palestinian children - before this 55% of Palestinians were 18 and younger. So, who are they are killing? Palestinian underage children arrested and tried in military tribunals and held in military adult prisons. Ilegal.
Thank you so Much Norman. Your a stunning light in the darkness.
Yes a true supernova of reverse racism 🙄
Much respect for Prof. Norm Finklestein. A hard-working genius.
Yes, this speech stating the real horrifying history of Palestinians proves the fact that Norman is the most authentic man to speak on this issue. Great respect. 💚🙏-bmd
Also Rashid Khalidi's book 'The Hundred Years War on Palestine' and Ilann Pappe, the great Jewish historian, are also great sources.
No no no you are needed, ever so needed Norman!!! I feel your pain… all the more because I myself have been traumatized by violence. I have found solace in your words, your un quivering humanity and your profound humility. I also enjoy your humor & yes, you do speak slowly because every word you utter is important!!
He is arrogant in his knowledge of he Palestinian subject. And rightly so.
Last line: Best description of prof Finkelstein I've ever read
Prof Finkelstein makes a compelling case for his use of words and attributions. A very fine mind. High time that someone takes an axe to the official narratives and dictatorship of political correctness.

His knowledge is complete. The world needs more Norman Finkelsteins.
