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.

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!

​​​​​​​​​​​​@@tonyryan43 and theyll find they cant explain it, because there is no such nation. seeing them as psychopaths is simply how we rationalize what seems to be (and is) monstrous behavior. i think you touch on something important in your comment though that gets at the crux of what makes their behavior so unfathomable. you seem to suggest that the cognitive dissonance of believing oneself to be a moral person (as most people do, including israelis) and yet also being a supporter of unconscionable violence, eventually causes them to become psychopaths, but it is rather that, unfortunately, very few people actually experience cognitive dissonance, and they just simply believe that the things theyre doing arent actually immoral, regardless of how unjustifiable such a position may seem to us. in other words, their position is unfathomable to us because it literally cant be fathomed, at least not in rational terms. this is really not so odd in terms of human behavior, this is just an example of it where its lack (cognitive dissonance) is the most stark and consequential that said, the violence itself surely does lead to an increase in antisocial behaviors across the entire society, because how could it not? but thats a long way from an entire nation of truly conscienceless psychopaths to be clear though i definitely dont object to the characterization of their collective consciousness as sociopathic, that seems to me to be a completely fair and undeniable assessment. i thought as much myself when i saw a video of a bunch of young israelis dancing to rave music to entertain themselves while blocking the aid trucks. i love electronic music so it was shockingly reprehensible to me to see that, because even though id like to think otherwise, it gave me the impression that maybe i foo would be such a monster if id grown up in that environment. very disturbing to say the least

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."

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.

I am a African American Muslim woman grandfather born late 1800S was a blk jew spoke Hebrew and had a kosher home. My grandfather died in early 60s. I worked with many Jewish people for over 30 yrs I enjoyed who they were and was even invited to Israel one year by a woman who I worked with. This is horrifying what is happening to all in Palestine. May God help humanity and we can end this madness on earth. Peace and blessings.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

"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.

Since discovering you, I read your books, and I watch every one of your interviews and don't bother with mainstream news on serious world-related issues as it's just fake. I appreciate your knowledge, expertise and, most of all, your humanity. You are a true leader of humanity and everyone in my friendship group in Australia loves you

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!
