Norman, don't ever think you are inadequate, you have given millions the foundation to carry on. Your work made a difference. You kept the cause alive and you continue to do so. Thank you. 🙏🤝❤ Free Palestine 🇵🇸 ♥️

Perhaps these lines will vanish in time, but it doesn’t matter I will post them anyways. As a citizen of the global south (Chilean) I have the highest admiration for Norman (respectfully) as he is one of most sincere and honest intellectuals I had the pleasure of following and learning from. I admired him with the same conviction I do of my father, a former Union leader who recently passed away. My father was an enormously precious figure in my life. He never compromised his convictions, gave his soul to humanity, particularly to those most in need. It is in that spirit that I salute you Norman. Thank you for all your contributions, particularly for our brothers and sisters of PALESTINE.

As Scott Ritter said recently, ‘if October 7th hadn’t happened, the people of Gaza would have experienced October 6th on repeat forever’. A life in an open prison, treated as filth, forgotten, abused and left for dead. Now the world can see and feel their plight and understand who the victims are in this horrific conflict. Thank you Norman for all you’ve done. Free Palestine.

My deep complements to the interviewer, who let him speak without interruption. You have no idea how much I appreciate you quietly listening! Edit: this was an outstanding and inspiring interview, I definitely relate on the last part. I wish I was physically able to contribute more at this moment in time, but I am grateful to God to see all the protestors, activists, demonstrators, and advocates coming out of the woodwork to cry out for Palestinian (and ultimately, our own) freedom. Free Palestine!

Mr. Finkelstein is such a hero of truth and justice! He fears no retribution for this honesty and this makes him brave.

It's so beautiful that someone with such a past has choosen to spend his life speaking for the oppressed. Stay blessed, Sir.

You're definitely not inadequate. You've been a consistently bright light on this issue from a time when it was not only unpopular to speak for Palestine but also quite dangerous. I know you're humble enough to not overstate the loss of your own employment because of your Palestine advocacy but it's a testament to your moral clarity, integrity and fortitude. Norman, I am glad that you're the first person from whom I learned about Palestine 16 years ago because it showed me that there are conscientious Jewish voices who acknowledge and respect the humanity of Palestinians. It also taught me the value of dedicating our time to judiciously learn facts instead of looking for shortcuts for likes and views on social media.

Thanks, TRT World, for this interview. Thank you, Norman. I recognise so much of what you told about the path you followed in your own life. As a long time health worker for the Palestine Red Crescent Society, starting during the Siege of West-Beirut in 1982, I have followed you for many years. I am still in awe of your masterly forensic analysis of "From Time Immemorial". I have lived and worked in Palestinian refugee communities in Lebanon, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Your work "Gaza. An Inquest into its Martyrdom" had a profound effect on me. Thank you for all you did. Aspiring to truth and justice is a commendable thing to do. I am proud to say that I never sacrificed this principle for the sake of 'fame and fortune' or 'power and privilege'.

We love you Dr. Finkelstein, millions upon millions of us. Don't ever think you are inadequate.

I love Mr. Norman Finkelstein. He is a human being. Thank you for your show❤️🙏

What an outstanding interview. People are listening Dr. Finkelstein. Thank you.

I don't have to say how much the world admire Dr. Finkelstein, but I want to praise also to the host here, what a humble, well-spoken gentleman, who is showing how to conduct a proper interview. Thanks!

Norman is one man army. He is tired of fighting this battle alone. May God bless his soul and give him energy and good health.

Norman is a young man -- and one with a gift. I just came from an 80th birthday party with laughs, opinions and yes, we all commend your mother for nurturing a stubborn, brilliant and righteous boy. Who knew? We carry shame for supporting Israel, for complacency. We all protested the Viet Nam war, cried at the Kennedy assassinations, and took a few walks to support Martin Luther King. What you're doing is giving support to silent cries, and we appreciate your work. Thank you

It's upsetting that they cut it multiple times throughout the video because I'm genuinely interested in listening to anything Norman says. Can you please upload the full interview?

One of the few tremendous thought provoking interviews I've seen! Norman Finkelstein is not only a great thinker, but strong in simplicity . Not to be underestimated. Truth requires simplicity to be itself. Justice and truth go hand in hand. We need more Normans in the world today! A boost to Truth! 🙏👍

When you defend international law and human rights, you defend yourself because you too are a human being. End the illegal occupation. Free Palestine 💛❤

Whenever he talks, it just feels like knowledge, wisdom, and courage. Protect this man at all cost!

This man literally devoted his entire life to the Palestinian cause. He will be that tiny spark that will always shine in the realm of darkness for future generations. Though he is a mere human, he reminds me time and again of Hazrat Moosa A.S. (Moses) who, in spite being born in the family of powerful Pharoahs, stood by the oppressed tribe - Thank you Dr. Norman for your existence.

I love you too Dr. Finkelstein. At the end of this talk you mention Bender's book and the opposing values he writes about, well you are a testiment to truth and justice. It was those values that stood out and captured my attention when I heard you speak for the first time. You will never know the impact you have made on the minds of students and adult open-minded thinkers. Thank you for your contributions.

It is a gross and vile dishonor. And disrespect to the millions of murdered in the Holocaust of the 1940s, to invoke those souls as an excuse to carry out another genocide of Gaza and then the West Bank.

You have to love how Norman Finkelstein will get up and move out of the camera shot to go grab a book. That spontaneous action exemplifies his intellectual spirit, one committed to substance over form

I am one of the People Who bought your book Norman Finkelstien, way before any of this Genocide happened. I have a few of your books. Thankyou for your Brilliance on this Subject, and Teaching.❤

Even Norman's 'inadequate' response, is in comparison to almost everyone else, the response of a titan. The impacts of age are overcome by the wisdom gained in the decades of intense study. I made similar choices as a young person to align myself with truth, and justice, and the costs of that are very real. I have no illusions of fame or fortune, but at the end I will be able to say that I never sold out my principles. I salute all of my comrades who are doing the same.

Norman Finkelstein for so long fought this battle in the US almost entirely alone, with the exception of professor Chomsky. I appreciate his many many years of selfless dedication to the cause of truth and justice for Palestine, as I have had the privilege of following his activism through all those years. Ty TRT for this conversation and thank you prof Finkelstein.

If we had an impartial mainstream press, Norman Finkelstein would be on TV every evening for all Americans to learn.

I am glad I came across to watch this video. Special thanks to the interviewer who let the professor speak without interruption and just quietly listened. You have no idea what a rare quality it is these days!

Is there a full unedited version of this interview? There are several cuts made in the middle of some of Professor Finkelstein’s dsicussion. Any help on that front would be appreciated. Such an eye opening interview. Thank you so very much Norman, your work has intruigued me and this interview has captivated me. A very enjoyable listen

Norman we all love u ❤ I pray for u. I hope that u live to see Palestine free. Thank u for your work 🌸

I love this truth teller

Norm is NOT "inadequate," & he has moved MILLIONS of us. Thank-you for never stop fighting, Norm - you say you did, but you truly never did. You have done the work a million times over and you continue doing it & we will be here to continue it as well ❤

I admire the way you’ve kept those idealistic values close to your heart, and lived your life by them Dr. Norman. I am a young individual, and I hear discouraging words from adults about my path to uphold social justice on a daily basis. It’s eye-tearing to see an adult like yourself who has managed to live by as a truth seeker and a truth distributer, and I aspire to be like yourself even through my adult life. Thank you for all the work you’ve done.

The most fitting last word "children" speaks to your utmost care for the future of humanity Norman. Thankyou.

Thank you for another insightful interview with Professor Norman Finkelstein. It's always worth listening to him.

Professor Norman you are so great . You are one of a hundred million . You have done an unimaginable favour to the Jews all over the world as well as to the Palestinians . You have exposed Zionism . Because of you people all over the world have come to realize the difference between being a respectful Jew and a Zionist . God bless you and bless all Jews who are NOT zionists.

Dr. Norman Finkelstein's commitment, dedication, conviction and integrity to truth and justice on the plight of the Palestinian people has risen to the occasion of this moment in history indeed! Thank you for this interview. I only hope the un-edited version will be shared with the world as well!

Professor Finklestein is a true treasure. Wish the world would heed what he says❤

Bless his hardworking soul. He’s done a lot to spread truth ❤

This interviewer was so respectful and he didn’t interrupt the great professor and author: Norman Finkelstein. Thanks, it was very informative indeed.

Sound of Applause and Appreciation...from Gaza...and the rest of us who listened to Norman like a hawk, back in the days when he would challenge anyone to a duel over Palestinian sovereignty.

Norman, is in a different class altogether. Qualities like Integrity, honesty, self-awareness, truth telling and solidity always comes to my mind every time I hear him.. You feel that you can believe every word that comes out of his mouth. Norman, you have done your courageous contribution to the history of this unjust conflict. As you have said, no nobody knows more about it and the lies told by Israel than you. And that is a gift to humanity that you leave behind. Thank you.

Norman joined the protestors at Columbia today! He was taking questions and everything. What a legend

Humanity will lose an opportunity if it didn't financially and morally support Norman Finkelstein - an intellectual giant - at this juncture of History. Millions like myself would happily contribute financially towards his efforts to project his vision of truthfulness and fairness. How can we participate?

Thanks you to the people who brought this interview and of course thank you to Norman Finkelstein for being a leading light of truth and justice. I found the end particularly moving. We must all re-double our efforts for the sake of the Palestinian people and for truth and justice!

This brought tears to my eyes. This Jewish man dedicated his whole life to the cause of the Palestinians. For years he was speaking when nobody was listening. We are listening now Dr.Finkelstein, we are listening now.

Soooo happy for the ‘good doctor’. After having suffered for years over his formidable stance for the Palestinians, he’s much sort after. ✊

WOW! Thank you TRT for producing this insightful interview with Norman Finkelstein! I have recently been following him, triggered by his "debate" on Piers Morgan between Finkelstein and Dershowitz. Your interview with him really was helpful in better understanding his background, how he came to what he sees as his vocation, and just the sense of really caring for him, what he has dedicated his life to and is so competent in doing, being the gadfly to the horse, like Socrates. And to Norman: thank you for sharing what has shaped your life and some of the specifics that set your focus on who you have become and what you chose (or chose you) to write about and to go out and fervently speak to. And thank you for sharing about the 1%, those who chose the spiritual values and the price that is paid for going down this path.

give us the full version, no cuts.

A bright intellectual with a great sense of justice, human rights, courage and political conviction.

The humility and the knowledge Norman emits is so calming. I wish I had teacher like him. You are the best Norman. Thank you for standing for Truth and Justice and never falling for fame and fortune. I pray that we see a Free Palestine. That would be God’s miracle to you as a human and for all of us. Lots of good wishes.

Wonderful interview. Norman restores faith in humanity by walking his talk. He is in fact a deeply spiritual figure whose works inspire thousands if not millions ❤

His regrets bring tears to my eyes. It’s like when Imam Ali feels his efforts towards his spiritual efforts towards Truth and Justice were inadequate for his capacity. If that’s how he feels, where does that place us? So much legacy to fulfill… so much struggle to endure.

I’m so moved by Norman Finkelstein’s closing words. What a beautiful human being. You have done so much for truth and justice. This is your time, when all your years of work are bearing fruit in this terrible struggle. Still have tears running down my face

He is the best forensic scholar on this topic and has lots of people admiring his efforts for justice. Nice to listen to his background story.. ♡

I have watched many interviews with Dr. Finkelstein, but this is one of my favorites. I’ve already watched it twice. Thank you to the interviewer for the questions asked and for giving him time to respond.

Thank you, Norman, from Holland. I could listen to you for weeks and never be bored. Thanks for your fight for truth and justice, it inspires me and keeps me going. The Palestinian resistance would not be the same without you!

Prof Norman Finkelstein I’ve been following your Lectures and speeches for many many years….your one of my most respected human beings. We Love you and wish you many more years in the business of Truth, hope you can see this message.

Would not have guessed my favorite technophobe was working with three monitors 😅 Can't help but think how the moment he was "shattered" by the truth about Mao parallels how shattered many of the true believers in the right and might of Israel will be once they're forced to reckon with the truth, and realize that everyone who disagreed with them wasn't an "antisemite" (or as Finkelstein said a "petite bourgeois"). Until then, the Palestinians and the rest of the world will continue paying a high price for their education.

Paul Salvatore is an exceptional presenter....this is by far the most moving interview of Dr. Norman, much love to you both

Norman: You are the most serious scholar of the Arab- Israeli conflict. Not surprising you are physically and mentally tired- fighting so many moral “real inadequates” people, most of your life. Rest, take it easy.. you have documented all your work in your forensic books…

The walking, talking,dictionary, respect for standing up 4 human rights

The great Norman Finkelstein, will be remembered as a man of character and integrity, so few of them are left, unless I am going to the worng places and not finding them, it's the whole human world.

Norman Finkelstein needs to be heard by everyone. His knowledge is very important. He is an International treasure.

Norman. If you ever see this, I want to tell you that I have been following you for quite some time. I deeply admire you for your intellectual contribution to the Palestinian plight. Keep on Keeping on May God be with you and protect you.

Splendid conversation full of depth. Beautiful Norman Finkelstein

I’m a proud Finkelstein fan. Great thinker, great human being, big heart. Intelligence+integrity+ empathy. What a wonderful and rare combination ! ❤

Regarding what Norman said at around 38:40 As far as I am concerned, while he may have less strength than when he was younger, his knowledge and wisdom are probably reaching further than he knows. I for one seek out his interviews to learn from him. I have already learnt from him, and as long as his interviews remain in the public domain I will encourage people to refer to Norman Finkelstein to learn. I highly respect what he has to say. Thank you Norman Finkelstein. He is contributing a considerable amount to the modern record of all this.

I am very grateful for this conversation and i would only want to offer the comment that of course what we all do individually is inadequate to the moment at hand but what we do individually ricochets and enables and magnifies what others therefore do. My own small contribution to the struggle for Palestine is greatly helped by the steadfastness and clarity of vision and thought you offer and - whilst I understand and empathise with the feeling of inadequacy - actually what you are offering is inspirational and greatly strengthening to many people, myself included, who you will never meet and never know. Stand tall, never stop and Free Palestine

When it comes to the moral clarity , values and truth of course Professor Norman Finkelstein is my idol , BTW I’m Palestinian and I don’t wonder how such a great human being like Professor Norman faced the whole materialistic western world by sticking to the truth and defending the oppressed people of Palestine . Just imagine that I’m Palestinian and have never been in Palestine , I’m denied from because my parents were expelled from Haifa - Palestine on 1948 my dad was 10 years old and my mom was 5 years old and they’ve never seen their homeland after that , they’ve passed away few years before and until the last day of their lives they were talking about how beautiful Haifa city was and how desperate they wanted to return back to it . Sir Norman you’ve been and you’ll always remain in every palestinian’s heart , we never forget the support you extended to us by your great work and the remarkable dedication to Palestine cause .

Finally, an interviewer with the good sense not to impose his will and simply allow this brilliant man to speak. Thank you.❤

This interview made me cry. Thank you, Norman. ❤

Thank you Professor Finkelstein..much respect...❤

Listening to this man is a treasure. So lucky that I was alive when this person was alive to show me what it means to stick by something even if you are standing alone. At the end of his life, he is a well respected hero. He might as well wear a cape and red boots. Meanwhile others who were high in position and power are now devoid of credit or prestige or integrity despite their wealth.

Norman. I just watched this interview. My husband and I admire you enormously, and agree with you. Much love from Ontario, Canada.

I feel so very honoured to have the pleasure of being able to learn this great man at this point in time. A great time in history of human kind. I look at you sir with awe and outmost respect. You are what evolution of mind means. What every human must strive for. We’ve stopped evolving in mind. 😢🇨🇦💕

Fascinating insight by professor Finkelstein. God bless Thanks for sharing ❤

I haven’t anywhere near the intellect of this man, yet when I listen to him my soul is stirred

First time listening to Norm Finkelstein, and enjoyed listening to a logical and ethical human being. Loved that the parents engaged their children with the love of reading and the ability to question what does not make sense. May his teaching and books by read by Princeton students and beyond.

Ty Norman Finklestein for being available so often for media talks🙌🏽

Wish they hadn't edited this so awkwardly, kept cutting him off like mid-sentence. Just play the whole interview.

as a muslim .. this man making me cry every time i listen to him ! appreciation is an understatement ! the empathy he have .. the humility .. the knowledge ! he said one time he dont believe in god i hope he reconsider it ! i really wanna see him i not in this life then in the next one ! thanks Mr. Finkelstein

Professor Finkelstein is a true sunshine over Earth❤

It takes real courage to speak out against all the injustice taking place in Palestine Thank you

most under appreciated scholar on Israel and Palestine. Humanitarian through and through.

This is The true blood line of prophet Israel.

I just realized thanks to what Norman Filkenstein has just said, that since I was very young, I always fighted for the truth and justice ! I lost many friends who were fighting for fame and money! Today, I’m still the same !

Thank you Norm- I hope we all get to see a free Palestine 🇵🇸 during our lifetime

Is there a full interview? I miss what has been cut out. EVERYTHING Norman Finkelstein says is of utmost meaning and importance. Please give us the FULL INTERVIEW, not edited.

I love this man and his mind. Is amazing his ability to remember, argue and have such self-awareness.

Mr Finklestein, Everything you said in this interview, I firmily believe, will become a part of the history that future generations will study. Thank you for what you have given to the world and most especially to the current youth of today, because they ARE leading the fight to transform life on this planet for all humanity. I believe the youth of today will see an end to all wars in their lifetime! ( I am 66 years old and i have never been hopeful about the future of life on this planet until now)

Dr. Finkelstein, a very good man, thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Merci NORMAN POUR VOTRE COURAGE!❤ LA VÉRITÉ EST TOUJOURS BONNE A DIRE! MEME SI D AUTRES NE VIVE QU 'AVEC LE MENSONGE ET LA PROPAGANDE.!!!!!!

I love Norman Finkelstein. A truly great human being.

Wow! I can't get enough of listening to Norman Finkelstein...

Thanks to the interviewer for showing adequate respect towards this truthful Hero of the history. History must remember him for his true and just heart as a historian.

Due respect to PROFESSOR NORMAN FINKELSTEIN.

Wow! So grateful for this opportunity to listen/learn from Professor Finkelstein in such depth. Thank you Mr Interviewer for this brilliant interview and allowing Professor Finkelstein to speak without the intrusion of interruptions. It is so wonderful to see him smile and laugh albeit a difficult and sad situation. Thank you TRT World for your interest, and of course, thank you Professor Finkelstein for your dedication and commitment to the facts. Yes, very moving. 🙏🏼🕊️🍉🕊️🙏🏼

Am I the only one 😢 crying badly when i heard his last words “ Half of whom are children “ 😢😢😢😢

Norman Finkelstein, you are a gift to mankind and there's nothing "inadequate" about your contributions towards bettering our humanity as it relates to the Palestinian cause. Great respect to you, sir

Thank you for all you have done. Live well. Live to be a hundred, please.
