In a recent interview with PoliticsJOE, Norman Finkelstein broke down misconceptions of Israeli society understood in the West - particularly around the popularity of the war on Palestinians and Benjamin Netanyahu.

Netanyahu was chosen by Israelis. Itamar Ben Gvir was chosen by Israelis. Smotrich was chosen by Israelis. Israel society extremism isn't talked enough
Even their municipal leaders like aryeh king are literal terr*rists.
He was installed by th US/UK, lke Joe Biden
All of them are Nazis...
Yes, but it has been touch and go for Netanyahu over the last few elections. I really don't know how he is still breathing?

@@dicey8928you also have a group from" Urban Moving Systems"show up BEFORE planes hit the buildings, setup to video i, i guess they are psychic? 😢 After witness spotted them celebrating the deaths of Americans. Later arrested/fled to Israel
About 10 years ago, I went to a movie theater here in the states and, while waiting in line, got into a conversation with one of the young ticket takers. I learned he was a dual citizen of the US/Israel and he was of age to go into the Israeli military and said he was looking forward to it so "I can kill some Palestinians." That's an exact quote. My wife and I were stunned.
Sickening and 💔. 😢
Nice fiction! There are 2 million Arabs in Israel which have grown a lot in the last 70 years. . Living freely and not wanting to move to Palestinian controlled areas. If a Jew walks into a wrong village in the West Bank, they are killed. Because of Islamist antisemitic indoctrination.
And yet Israel is always the victim.
And yet Israel is always the victim
I am not surprised there is another video of a whistleblower. who discusses how the vast majority of IDF members believe they have no regrets about killing Palestinian children, justifying their actions by claiming that the Hamas we are fighting are the same children we spared in 2012. Sickening
These facts that Dr Finkelstein brings up about Israeli society are totally true. I visited Israel back in 2003 and spent a lot of time in the West Bank. It was truly an apartheid society. Palestinians and Israelis on the West Bank bank lived in completely different areas. Palestinians could only travel on certain roads and walk on certain streets. Otherwise, they would be arrested. Israelis treated the Palestinians like dirt. It reminded me of how blacks were treated in the Old South. It was disturbing and things have gotten a lot worse since then!
I was in Israel once and I noticed something. I could talk to Palestinians and they would joke and respond like normal human beings. But with Jews, they were cold, wouldn't even look into your eyes. A lot od Jews really look like they have a superiority complex. It is very disturbing to realize that Nazis had the same complex. Maybe that's why the historical clash between them had to happen.
@@beastmasterdrek9815 German leadership saw this clearly.
A clear sign that history books never portrayed the war realistic is the fact that several of the Nazis were zionists and sent Jews to Palestine during the 2ww. Baron von Mildenstein claimed immunity in 1960 based on being a CIA agent. The connection between zionists, Nazis, the CIA and sabbateans is interesting..
@@Vinnysbrarbershop Oh, really, I'm soo shocked you called me that. You are such a victim. Because today it looks like anything or anyone a Zionist Jew like you doesn't like he will call anti-Semitic. And at this point we all know it's just a tactic to silence people. So, maybe you are anti-Semitic yourself, since you are the one bringing hatred upon Jews by consolidating stereotypes about Jews. And because it is obvious that you don't like Palestinians too much who are probably more Semitic than you, by the way.
@@edmundmcgrath213 Absolutely. Germans were portrayed as evil racists who hated the Jews all the time, but I dont believe they thought Jews were lesser beings, just the opposite. They knew about their superiority complex and how they treat non-Jews (Germans included) whom they have always called the Goyim, no matter what non-Jewish nationality. Maybe Israeli hatred against Palestinians is a reflection of that racial superiority complex.
This is scary! How are the Palestinians going to survive then? And Israeli society is really sick!
I think we all know deep down that the Palestinian Nation will not survive.The elites are happy to turn thier backs on the extinction of these people,the US allow Netanyahu (ably assisted by thier puppets here in the UK) to expedite his evil goals.Sick is an understatement
There are those on the Israeli far right who see the Israel/Palestine conflict as a real estate opportunity.
Sick to the core. And frankly extremely dangerous because they've been enabled to develop and possess nuclear weapons. and have an unstable rightwing extremist Zionist government. They've created a Frankenstein out of control.
i think the israeli society live in a bubble and many of them who immigrated to israel have a conservative nature anyway. they support each other in their views. this fact that 95% support gazas destroying disgusted me from the very beginning.
@@jackdubz4247 of course. Time for israeli jews to move on. They have been terrible neighbours in this region. They make entirely too much noise given their small size. They are entirely too demanding of money from others, mostly received thru political thuggery. They have disrupted their neighbours ability to live peacefully. And they are constantly stealing stuff >> mostly land. The list goes on.
This insight is chilling. What is even more chilling? The fact that other western world leaders behave like Netanyahu's puppets.
A lot of old people think that Israel can do no wrong because of the war, but today's Israelis are nothing to do with the Holocaust and Israel is just a US proxy in the middle east

He is telling the truth. I had lived in Israel. Talked about racism. Israel is no different from the Americas. Apartheid. That is Israel. Totally segregated. Palestinians people are in a concentration camp. Remember South Africa?
Palestine was never in Israel. There is no apartheid. It doesn't square with the facts. Palestinians won't even form a viable govtmt. They live off UNWRA and Red Cross. They will NEVER be independent but let terrorist anti ISRAEL HAMAS and HEZBOLLAH rule. They are like Germans in wwii who hid out and under the radar. They tried to keep out of everything except went ahead and supported Nazis so they would survive. So, they approved CRT laws and agendas of Adolf Hitler.
That is a lie . Palestinians were never in Israel obeying the law. They were always hostile and antisemitic.
You mean the old South Africa? Sure looks better than the modern version. More dysfunctional than Argentina. or Chicago for that matter.
What about the Islamic Republics of Mauritania, Iran and Pakistan? Is that Apartheid?
@@MarlinWilliams-ts5ulClassic Whataboutism... "Someone else is also as horrible as I am"
Recap: 1. Jewish supremacy is the mindset. 2. If Netanyahu's policies were unpopular, another candidate would emerge. 3. 95% of the Jewish Israelis support the war on Gaza. 65% oppose aid to the Palestinians. Only 3.2% think the IDF is using too much force. The whole population of Israel agrees with what Netanyahu is doing! "It's a lunatic state and a lunatic society." Thank you Norman Finkelstein for your analysis and courage in speaking the truth.
So what are you implying then? You say all this but what are you trying to say? Because whenever I’ve come across people saying this, they inevitably just admit that Hamas or palestinians should enforce collective punishment on Israeli civilians, and then some not so subtle people will go into antisemitic territory. I’m kinda hesitant to say “so what is your solution” to this though.
The October 7th attack is the product of what happens when 2 million people are oppressed by Zionists who treat them as animals on their own territory. The attack, while horrific, is largely due to hamas perceiving that extreme action is needed to stop the horrific conditions within Gaza. Of course they would feel anger towards the Israelis, who enforced the blockade of supplies into gaza and brutal police / idf arrests with gaza. Hatred of this has twisted and radicalised them against Israel, and since Israel is the self-proclaimed standard for Judaism, they want extreme retaliation against all Jews. I do disagree with the extremist tendencies of my religion, but you can never de-link cause and effect. Israel has enforced an overly harsh, delegitimising campaign against Palestine since its inception, and it is acting shocked that there is vehement opposition to it from Palestinians.
A more direct reply to your question is that the actions against Israel are horrific, and it should not have happened, but it stems from the authoritarian regime of Israel. I hope that Israelis realise that acting more compassionately and striving for greater peace is their true road to safety, and that excessive policing and brute force will not. It is sadly much less likely in the wake of Hamas's attack and the indoctrination that all Muslims are hateful and murderous. I fear for the future state of the world if we cannot resolve these tensions.
I am German married to an Israeli and living in Israel for 15 years. I can say that it's a very distorted picture that is drawn here. Some facts: 1. it's definitely not a majority of Israelis that have a Jewish Supremacy mindset.:The right-wind extremists of HaTsiyunut HaDatit received about 11% of the votes. 2. Netanyahu's Likud received 23%. Together with the Ultraorthodox parties they form a coalition that got 64 of 120 (i.e., 53%) of the seats in the Knesset. Since then, the government has initiated a number of legislative moves that undermine democracy and deprive the High Court of much of its power, and hundreds of thousands of people (including myself) had been protesting in the whole country every week. Netanyahu (and Ben Gvir and Smotrich) are very very unpopular with this part of the population, and polls have shown that the protesters were forming a majority. Jet pilots were threatening to refuse to continue their military service should the Fascist government continue it policies. The society as a whole was deeply divided. It's actually a very racist thing to say that the society on the whole is lunatic if there is a large group of sane on the verge of becoming the majority 3.That was prior to October 7th. That day, Hamas terrorists conducted a genocidal terror attack, killing 1200 people, putting babies into ovens, cutting open pregnant mother's bellies, beheaded parents in front of their children and many more atrocities. They didn't ask if the people they killed had a mindset of Jewish supremacy or if they supported Netanyahu. In fact the border region next to the Gaza strip mainly consists of Kibbutzes that mainly have a left-wing population, many of them peace activists (before that day). It is a national trauma. It is not surprising at all that 95% of Jewish Israelis supported the war in the beginning. I would rather be surprised if it was ONLY 95%. Until today, the statement that Hamas has to be destroyed is one of the rare cases where you have consensus among almost all Israelis. You would have the same reaction in any other country that was attacked this way. Today, 7 months after the attacks, without being close to a release of the hostages, or to the destruction of Hamas, people are back on the streets demonstrating against the government, calling for a hostage deal at the price of stopping the war, and for new elections. I think they don't deserve to be demonized the way it happens in this and other videos. There are ways of criticizing Israel without being anti-Semitic. Unfortunately, this video is.
@@oliverkeller4485How strange Israel have refused to show the evidence claimed for your list of atrocities and refuse a UN forensic investigation into Oct 7th. How odd the desperation to close down external reporting, how odd that Israel murdered so many reporters just doing their jobs. So many aid workers and schools killed by precision drone attacks. It's easy to go on, spare me the reasonable argument before parroting propaganda.
I’m in awe at how Israeli propaganda has silenced so many of their critics. We have “journalists and politicians” criticising protests against genocide as supporters of terrorism - people demanding peace are supporting terrorism? This is how dysfunctional things have gotten. This will only end badly for all of us. We need more moral courage in doing the right thing. Sue for peace - we all benefit.

This is '1984'. Supporting Peace is now Terrorism!
Hi I think Malcolm X Quoted that?@@DrDanQ92
You should be in awe because it’s astonishing even to me as a Jew. The way they programmed me as a kid was to believe that only stupid and crazy Holocaust deniers would criticize the Israeli state… and since nobody sane wants to be associated with Nazis, most people just stay quiet and try to avoid the subject of Gaza altogether.
Yes, an expat told me a few years ago that Israel is an extremely violent society.
Narcissistic psychos and machiavelian society.. if they do not have Palestinians to prey on together, they will eat and betray each other. That's what Israel is.

I’m glad that we have someone like Norman Finkelstein! ❤❤❤
I used to run a cafe in north India where 1000s of young Israelis would come and spend months traveling after they finished their service. To say that they thought Palestinians were sub human would be an understatement. They openly talked about killing or driving them all out of greater Israel. They were pretty vile characters and this was before Oct 7.
Now they're trying to obtain supply of Indians to replace the genocided Palestinians. God forbid they soil themselves with physical work.
They and hindutvadis are same kind.
They were probably indoctrinated to think that vile.
Last September we flew on a plane with a big group of orthodox Jewish men. I've never experienced such rudeness, lack of obedience and ignorance towards female staff, refusal to sit in allocated sits, move out of way, leave toilets during turbulence. They were also utterly arrogant and had a feeling of supremacy over others, they did not care about anyone else on the plane or at the airport. Also very reluctant to get involved with anyone but their own. I was shocked. I also know people who had identical experience. So if that's their general attitude, then I feel bad for anyone who has to deal with them ever.
@@milenagielas8184 I used to think it was damn rude of the plo hijacking and blowing up planes.
Lived in Boston in the 80s and had a Jewish friend that visited Israel. He said that they were the rudest people he’d ever encountered. Hubris and arrogance have been the downfall of many people throughout history and many have thought they too were chosen by g-d.
@user-xp7yy3py5o Please visit Iran and come the hospitality and civility. Please, do. And by the way, I am not a Iranian.
Moderate Jews I Met in Israel I found wonderful, the rest scary
Most American Jews dislike Israeli Jews who come to America as arrogant people.
I'm on the same side, but I don't think rudeness is necessarily a sign of everything. People from other parts of the US think we (northeasterners) are very rude. Most importantly, this is an emergency so we should all stick with the most persuasive arguments, first and often
@@ChannelMath agreed after I posted that I thought what a petty comment.

Thanks Prof Finkelstein for exposing the true nature of this vicious people.
They are vicious indeed.
Yes it way too easy to blame it all on Netanyahu. The entire society is guilty of genocide. Israel is made of a bunch of terrorists or grand children of terrorists. This is how they stole the land and keep it, through violence and manipulative tactics

Thank you Norman. It’s irritating when journalists pretend like it’s just a few officials when it’s really the entire society.

@@louiscypher4186and right evangelical church types
@@goedeck1 Nah the "churches" that support Israel preach this weird doctrine that the Jews are above lowly Christians and if they want Jesus to come back and save them Christians must support Israel unquestioning.
Not the entire society. Let's be clear on the facts. As of January, only 3% thought too much firepower was being used in Gaza. It's tempting to paint all of Israel with the same stroke but it wouldn't be true. Also, note that the outlying 3% are opposing the amount of firepower. They are not opposed to the IDF terrorizing Palestinians.
What are you implying here? How is this any different to an Israeli official saying there are no innocent civilians because they backed Hamas?
One day the absolute truth will be revealed to all, and no one will be able to hide from it.

An unfortunate fact about human nature is that we are easily brainwashed from an early age to accept whatever we are taught by the "authorities" on faith. Critical judgment has to be taught. The Jews of Israel have been brainwashed to believe that "all Palestinians" and their supporters want to genocide them, so they feel that whatever the IDF does is self-defense.

A classic case of former victims becoming the perpetrators.
Definitely the abused became the abusers.
Same sort of psychology as abusive parents and how the kids grow up. Couple that with kids with helicopter parents who are allowed to get away with anything, they can't understand why others can't see their selfish point of view. A type of arrogance if you will. The word "Kids" is key here. They still have a lot of growing up to do and I think the entire world will be a much better "parent" moving forward than the west have been.
If any state were never to be held accountable for its actions ever, it'd probably end up just the same - that's just human nature - people do what's easiest to get what they want. For decades Israel has not only been able to do exactly what it likes without facing any consequences, it's been actively supported and encouraged by the West.

Thanks for highlighting the wider problem with the Israeli Public Norman, that really puts things into perspective for me. Those who sanctioned the Balfour Agreement are responsible for endless ethnic cleansing.
Awesome human being, Bravo Finkelstein!!!
I recall seeing “man on the street” interviews (on KZhead, legacy media would NEVER have shown this, not in the USA) with Jewish Israelis about the Palestinian people. When asked what should be done to resolve the situation, the number of Israelis who said “exterminate the Palestinians” was shocking. And ironic.
It really means something that a Jew is calling out these Zionists. They will call him a traitor....but Norman is trying his best to save Israel from itself.
I'm against terrorism and I'm against genocide!!! What is Wrong with Humanity.😢❤
What is wrong with humanity is the constant attempt to split the difference. Fighting genocide is not terrorism.
Isn't genocide extreme terrorism..terrorism on a mass scale 🤔

@@Frederickuzokwe121 actually genocide is worse than terrorism. That’s why it called the crime of crimes. It is done by the powerful against the less powerful and it includes the babies and the unborn.

How many journalists, aid workers, doctors, nurses and volunteers have died unjustly by the IDF?
Too many. I heard an interview with a Canadian nurse who spent a couple of weeks in Gaza at a hospital. She said that contrary to Israeli claims she never saw anyone who looked like a fighter in the hospital, and that bombs were dropped several times near the hospital.
Norman is where its at!!
Extraordinary post for the times we live in.
Mr Finkelstein has a wealth of knowledge, we’re so grateful to have him amongst us.
You, Sir, are a refreshingly honest man.
Norman is right. A leader is a mirror of the collective consciousness of society. A peaceful society can only choose a peaceful leader.
This made for disappointing viewing for me. I had been clinging to the idea that many Israeli citizens disapproved of the hugely excessive use of force being deployed by the IDF in Gaza. The polls that Finkelstein read out, showing that almost all Israelis support what is taking place there, have shattered my illusions. With this kind of Israeli mindset, it is hard to see how Palestine will ever get to be a state in its own right.
The question is - what is going on with the governments of the US, UK, France, Germany, etc that they can't call out the insanity of Israel? That is the weirdest part of this whole sad situation. If Israel is clearly sick, why can't these countries just come out and tell it like it is? They all know the truth....
Dr Finkelstein is absolutely right. We’ve known this for a while. Polls show that Israeli society has become extremely far-right. And it’s not just the older people, like many here in the US & around the world. Young Israelis are even more extreme than their parents & grandparents are! That’s an anomaly given that historically young people tend to be the moral compass of nations. Not when it comes to Israel though. Everything is backwards in Israel.
unreal. the opposite of reality.
Considering the country was founded on et---- cl-------, I guess you could make the point that the young generation is actually more ideologically pure than their parents and grandparents. They didn't invent the country's ideology, they're just taking it to its logical conclusion. And are probably wondering why the founders were too squeamish to do it themselves.
The young ones are just taking the country's founding ideology to its logical conclusion. They didn't invent that ideology, they were raised with it.
Far right! No! Genocide is not a far right ideology. It's lunacy. Far right is God, family, country, Christian values, and things like that.
Israel has always been far right. Israel literally is unashamedly a Jewish supremacist state.
When leader of a country who represents his people at UN shows map of Isreal without West Bank and Gaza , you can guess what is going on on his mind
This sort of clarity is refreshing

All about truth !! 💪❤️🇯🇴☝️
Excellent, admirable work, Professor Finkelstein. You and Chris Hedges are, for me, the best sources of truth about the genocide currently currently taking place in Gaza.
And also Ilan Pappé. This guy shreds the narrative to pieces...
And Abby Martin. She is amazing !!!
Also Max Blumenthal.
Truth? 🐪💩
And Abby Martin. And Max Blumenthal. And Aaron Mate. And Gabor Mate. And Noam Chomsky. Edit: Ilan Pappe is someone I hadn't heard of. Yes, truth. DUH. Those are your brains behind that camel.
Very real Norman. And right you are.
"The Israeli indoctrination is from the cradle to the grave" Ilan Pappe.
This is really scary😢
Been following Norman and Noam for years. Opened my eyes.
Norman is the voice of sense and righteousness. A true, truth teller.
Blessings to you . . .
Try to live among them being different then u will know! The society is truly supportive of the action of their country.
Absolutely 💯 👍
He hit the Bulls eye.
Any guesses why Norman Finkelstein is never interviewed on corporate media in the US?
AIPAC foreign lobby reform immediately!!
Remove it.
Uncle Remus said that a good old fashioned Whole Pig BBQ meal can fix most of the problems there... nothing better than BBQ Pork to say I love You. Get some!
This reminds me of the Jim Crow era in US history. The racism is at that level of hatred and bigotry.
Unfortunately that society is raised in an authoritarian, theocratic and militar regime. How sad! Judaism is not inherently cruel. All the oposite.
There's an undeniable amount of content in the Torah/Old testament that directly justifies jewish racial and religious supremacy, and clearly that content is a massive influence in the way that the Israeli state has operated since its inception. Good luck convincing me or anyone else that Judasim isn't an inheritenly jingoïstic and racist religion whilst Israel still exists as it currently does.
Judaism is inherently supremacist.
It is zionism that is cruel.
@@fchowdhury5727🎯
Not sure I agree with that assertion. Liberal interpretations of all the abrahamic faiths are not cruel, but the underlying religious texts are full of cruelty and vengeance stories and teachings.
Israel is a democracy? Two netanyahu's deciding who to eat for dinner
It's a democracy for Jews not for arabs.
@@kazkazimierz1742 really because it's actually like all countries a corporation. And bibi's people keep counting the " votes" in the elections you don't really have.
I just can't imagine why folks would not want to end hate and give peace and love a chance. Hate just seeds more hate. While love nourishes love. One makes you feel bad and one makes you feel good. Hello! I'm raising my hand for peace. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
I love Norman Finkelstein. What a man, what a humanitarian, what a treasure for the world. I love this man so much for his absolute stance for Palestine and the Palestinian people. Norman Finkelstein is a God send from God Almighty! Thank you Norman for standing up for humanity, may God bless you and yours!
Stop calling it a war!!
For the sake of transparency, could you find a source for the numbers asserted in this video and pin them for all to see.
TOTALLY AGREE Norman. I have been saying that LEADERSHIP IS ONLY A REFLECTION OF WHERE THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE’s BELIEFS -HEARTS ARE AT. CHANGE STARTS WITH THE CITIZENS OF THE COUNTRY.
Professor Finkelstein is completely RIGHT 👍🏻❤
Every country gets the leadership it deserves
False, and that's the problem.
@@raistlin3462 no it's really true.
@@claygorovoy5467 Will Durant made your point a century ago. In fact, the leadership (horrific as it is) is usually better than most of the people. It's a scary thought, and we want to deny it. But the like of Netanyahu or a Bush, give bad people an excuse to give vent to the worst in themselves.
Satanyahu is the symptom of the PISSRAEL disease.
Agreed we got Trump and likely will again. It is who USA is
Sir all world have great and huge respect for you from the beginning how your standing on the right path thank you so much sir
Appreciate your honesty, my eyes 👀 are open now.
I wish Norman would discuss a few things. Peaceful camps demonstrations described as riotous when armed policemen wearing body armor drag off protesters, and when snipers are positioned atop buildings. Congress seemingly attempying to pass laws to make it illegal to criticize Israel. And Netsnyahu, who claims Israel represents world Jewry, this occurs in the face of an actual telivised genocide, and Netanyahu speaking out against US campus protests. It's getting surreal.
Remember when he had the Gaul to address Congress w/o an invite? And Obama didn’t have the chutzpah to call out USAF & turn his plane around. Remembering the: 8- dancing Israelis & the Israeli art students; this is all part of their plan. “We’ll keep using them like sheep, again & again”. - Yahoo
Norman is a treasure for humanity. The problem is Bibi has gathered all the hardliners over the years.
