One group is targeting civilians
One group is targeting military targets.
Which group has humanity?
And guess which ones are called "terrorists" ... hello Orwell my old friend...
The western fascists labelled the one targeting military targets as a terrorist group and the one targeting civilians as "the only democracy in the middle east". The west has lost its mind.
We know. Hezbollah is targeting civilians.
Israel needs to stop targeting civilians.
Yes, Israel should stop targeting civilians.
When it goes wrong for Israel I don't want to hear the sound of them pleading for help!
It is a matter of time 😂
Sure, in a week you all will be screeching "genocide" and begging to stop them.
What I'm terrified of is that rather than pleading for help they might take us all down as they fall - that is exercise their "Samson Option".
@@calicocat8213 - they'll attempt to take down the entire world with them.
@calicocat8213 I think that if they try that there's a lot of countries (Russia China etc) that know where their submarine is and will sink it.
For a country that our Msm depicted as uncivilized, a threat for regional stability, Iran showed great restraint and patience, compare that to our so called greatest ally in the middle east, i wonder who's the real threat here.
When was the last time Iran invaded another country?
Yeah exactly, if the Arabs were the barbarians the Zionist propaganda said they are, Israel wouldn't have lasted a few minutes let alone 75 years!!!
@@misterpinkandyellow74 Well, I believe it was Nader Shah's last invasion of Mongol Empire/s in India that begun 1736 and ended 1740. So, minor skirmishes aside, the last time Iran invaded a country was in 1740 or close to it.
Iran is a land of thousands of year of civilization , who again was speaking about them ? How many years have they known real civilization ? It's hilarious when Pepe was saying barbarism vs civilization and he was right , but needed to reverse the titles and be given to the appropriate parties , muslim civilization vs Western barabraism.
The Iranians fund and supplies weapons to most of the terrorists in the world. WTF are you talking about?
Spot on as always the inimitable Prof Norman Finklestein. So good to hear from him after so long.
A European Jewish immigrant living on stolen land, accusing European Jewish immigrants of living on stolen land....Is Finkelstein actually just a dark performance artist trolling us all?
Agree 💯
Where has he been all this time? Vacation?
@@TCt83067695he has been reading and writing. He is a great writer！
I think he’s working on another book.
Norman is as always informative, insightful, and eloquent!
Always a pleasure listening to Mr Finkelstein !
You must be joking! The man is deluded.
@@GretsGarbo-h9mHow so? Give specific examples please.
@@joeblue4170 All the lies he tells.
@@GretsGarbo-h9m Can you site a specific example of his lies and what the truth actually is?
Professor Finkelstein has said he knows nothing about military strategy but I think he is spot on with his analysis of what is happening in the Middle East. Professor Finkelstein is a true humanitarian .... he has totally educated me on the history of the injustices perpetrated against the Palestinians. I hope he uses every chance to get the truth out to a wider audience because more and more people are looking beyond corporate media for the real news.
Thank you Professor Finkelstein, thank you Glenn.🇵🇸
Read Ilan Pappe's latest book, "Lobbying For Zionism On Both Sides Of The Atlantic", and you will further understand Finkelstein and realise that a 2-state solution is impossible because it's 💯 % against zionism and always has been, always will be.
💯
He is one of the most smart men in the world today!
Finkelstein , the posterboy for the self-hating Jew, knows nothing, except how to demonize Israel.
Except that he denies the existence of the Jewish Lobby. He's part of the problem.
Thank you Mr Finkelstein for teaching me so much about this issue for the last year!
When Israel meets its justice in the valleys and hills of Lebanon, there will be no compassion for the IDF dead. The world has cried its tears and drained its compassion. Israel is alone with the US billionaire class and its sycophants.

Here's a tongue twister for you: "psychopaths' sycophants".
You do realize that after Israel, the US is next, right?
You have a nice open boarder there...would be a shame if something like this happened:

@@svarog63 Both apply.
beautifully stated, I am not sure what country can survive after garnering so much well deserved hate and contempt
Every military person I’ve heard speak agrees with Mr Finkelstein. Even Israeli generals know it.
The US has deployed 40.000 disposables (US servicemen) to the ME to take the hit for Israel.
@@gratefulwoman8848 There is zero political will for American body bags coming home. It’s not a vote getter. It’s just for show.
lol no.
@@gratefulwoman8848 American body bags don’t win elections. Iraq is too fresh.
I love listening to Norman Finkelstein, such an intelligent well learned man
I love listening to his nonsense.
I love the way he cuts through conjecture using the scientific method based on facts.
@GretsGarbo-h9m of course you don't. Truth hurts doesn't it little david 🐭🐭
@@iorr98 I love you sarcasm.
@@UziRaz Have you got the wrong person? My name is not David.
At this point almost a year in, I have chronic insomnia, I don’t go out, I don’t eat and I drink too much. A first world insult in comparison to the REAL world suffering happening now.
I’m tired of feeling and feeling completely powerless. I’m tired of drinking myself to sleep and crying myself awake but I will not stop bearing witness because it is the ONLY thing I can do.
Brother, you need help. I'm on your side regarding how horrible the situation is, but you can't let that ruin your life. You only have one life to live, and there will always be some horrors going on around the world. (And as bad as it currently is, for most of human history there was a LOT more violence worldwide than there is right now. Read the book Better angels of our nature for more explanations) You can continue to "bear witness", but I'm not sure it's really helping anyone. Whether or not you decide to continue to do so, I really hope you will get better and you will start enjoying life again. It absolutely is possible to do both. Best wishes
I had to comment here. My bro, I’m in the same boat. The situation is always on my mind and I feel I have to bear witness. But search for a spiritual foundation to make meaning out of things or it will kill you and make you nihilistic. My foundation is in Islam and it gives me peace and meaning - yours may be in some other faith. Anchor yourself to something! One love to you bro, you are a good human - levels above the demons.
“Bearing witness” when you don’t have to will be a blessing that will light your life but you have to use it to find meaning and faith.
Read the Quran to find peace😊
Take it a bit easier, this will go on for a while longer, and will be uglier
We love you Prof. Finkelstein.
❤❤❤ Norman
Yes!
He is a psychopath that loves harming Jews.
Professor Finkelstein is a great analyst of the Middle East. It is always refreshing to listen to his talk.
One group is defending their land with their lives and the other is a terrorist who stole a land and too scared to fight for it but owns and manipulates the governments of the world. What catastrophic times we are witnessing.
Exactly....notice the Zionist ways of fighting.....
1) sabotage
2) secret assassinations
3) bombing civilian population to terrorize
4) manipulating bigger countries' governments with money to get them to do the heavy fighting
5) Bombing everything from airplanes and only entering the field of combat after everything is destroyed
6) playing the victim and creating false narrative while doing #1 -5 above
100%. 🇱🇧 ✊
They are definition of a terror state
Antisemite.
Israel is fighting for their land. What are you talking about?
Every single time I am graced by the opinions of Norm Finklestein I am left with ways of looking at situations no one has even considered, I learn something new, and something old that now requires newfound focus and consideration.
Well said, allowed me to realize this truth
Great comment - it taught me a lot. I particularly appreciate the word 'grace' here. It suits you and him too.
See what happens when you get news from independent media. No interruptions, history, analysis, and reality.
Exactly
I have so much respect for you Mr. Finkelstein.
Norman Finkelstein's dedication and courage are an inspiration. Thanks much for this interview!
Thank you mr Finkelstein!!!!!!
Always always eloquently said...
European settler-colonialism was anachronistic in 1948, by now it's doomed. The European settler-colonists will never return to northern Galilee.

They are not European
What about Islamic Jihadist expansionism? It never stops.
where is this expansionism and in what way is it Jihadist? explain to me with sources, reference and footnotes. Go
Settler-colonialism brought civilization to the world. Don't lump the evil Zionist project in with that legacy
Norm is the GOAT
Don't tell Mohmmad...
@@contact594
Shhhhh don’t tell Moises!!!!
Norm is an idiot.
If there is a God, the Israelis are done for: big time!
Depends... some people of our planet conceive an indifferent god, who creates stuff, but moves on, without any particular commitment to us here of Earth. Could happen.
Dear Professor Finkelstein I always wait to hear what you say. I know you speak with facts, intelligence and you are simply great!!!
Imagine how much less human suffering there would be in the world if these two guys were in charge of things.
You will be surprised, words are cheap but action is always expensive.
As per Alastair Crooke, 22 IDF soldiers were killed last week in a Hizbollah attack
Okay, so they attacked military targets then? Israel has bombed densely populated Beirut and Southern Lebanon killing 500 civilians including women and children.
they'll shoot fish in barrel but won't swim with fishes
One thing Professor Finkelstein did not mention is that in a ground invasion, Israel would also be facing various Iran proxies from Iraq, Syria as well as Hezbollah.
There's also the issue of the Houthis.
40,000 troops from Iraq, Syria and Yemen arrived in Lebanon today
according to your logic, Israel is a proxy to US
Well said and explained, only HEROs tell the true facts these days!, Bless you Prof. Norman you are a true HERO!
Norman Finkelstein is the best!
Thank you Glenn.. Norm is a most based take on this file..
Norm such an Intelligent Gem to Humanity.
Always an excellent moment to be hearing perspectives from Norman Finkelstein the great political scientist and writer. Most informative interview.
OMG - Norm is not normal he is extraordinary ❤😊
God have mercy. This is sick.
I think I have to start listening to Nasrallah. I never knew he was that good.
I hear he's good. I haven't listened to him myself, I can't do subtitles.
I’ve seen a few, it’s always interesting, Check out his interview with rania kalek
Definitely listen to his speeches. It's a stark contrast to US politicians.
@@yashaashayeri7055 follow electronic intifada, anti empire project, justin podur. They report nazralla’s speeches and analyze them for a north american anti z audience
Nasrallah recently released this cheery message to the LGBTQ community.
"They cannot be cured. Even if they repent. Even if they fast and apologize ... kill them."
It's on video. Look it up. It's all over X.
*Nice to hear the truth from prof. Norman Finkelstein!* 👏👏👏👏
excellent response at a military question norm👏🏻🫡
I truly hope he is correct - the books will be balanced eventually, and I hope to bear witness.
Pray for Lebanon🙏
Well spoken as always.
Iran is not foolish enough to empower the chosen candidate of dick Cheney by making a wider war.
Doesn’t really matter, Benjamin and Yahoo has already said that he will not negotiate for 45 days, which is several days after the American election. Which means he doesn’t want to negotiate until he sees if there is an American president that will give him a better deal than the great deal he is already getting. The Democrats will give him what he wants, Trump will give him what he wants and more. So not only is he breaking international law and committing war crimes and a genocide, he is also trying to interfere with the American election. What a great ally.
As always most informative speech from professor Finkelstein. Thank you for sharing.
Thans Double G! Professor Finkelstein is phenomenal with his information and analysis
Very impressive from a "self hating "Jew.A great man who will be on the right side of history.He's up there with other self haters such as Rabbi David Weiss et al!
You are sad that Finkelstein is not a Nazi like you
Why call self hater? He is speaking the truth not agsint Jews against what i wrong
The truth hurts huh?😂
RESPECT and 100 percent with you professor Norman❤ keep on!!!
I used to live in the ME. I love Iran but it is scary. I agree totally with the Prof about patience and long term thinking!
How is Iran scary? It is one of the nicest people you will ever see. People are a bit too nice, actually.
It’s not scary at all, I’ve been there every year for the last 10 years. It’s just another agenda talking point pushed in the west by people who’ve never even been there…
he is brilliant!
Awesome words, Professor Finklestein!
This man is a personification of Truth. God bless you Mr N Finkelstein!❤
There is no fear of death for those who know that death is only the beginning.
حسبنا الله ونعم الوكيل
💯✅ Allah hu Akbar
I live in the area and have been interested in politics since childhood. Everything Prof. Norman Finkelstein says is accurate."
Thank you for your perspective
@@bendyrland7213 Sure
Why isn't the title reference "Zionist war against Lebanon"?
Absolutely wonderful work from Prof. Finkelstein. My thanks to you both.
Keep bringing us Mr. Norman. We need his perspectives and knowledge.
Superb analysis
Much as I would like to see some moral justice, there's no reason to think Israel will necessarily face it as long as the US backs it.
Having said that, Israel continues to isolate itself among the international community.
its recent technological attack on Hizballah may also backfire, in that foreign powers, allied or not, might now think twice about purchasing Israeli technology, as anything they produce could be boobytrapped or contain backdoors
Yes but they completely control western policies
Does it matter though? It has faced zero consequences for the isolation, and the influential countries (UK, US, and the treasonous arab countries) will never stop backing it.
The reason why Israel has suffered so few casualities is that Hezbollah is targeting military targets while Israel by contrast follows the Dahitah Doctrine which specifically calls for attacking civilians.
you are so misinformed. isreal has incredible missle defence systems; thats why their casulties are low. and if you think isreal targets civilians, then why were none of the exloding pagers belonging to civilians? think about it
Thank you.
UK soldiers sent to ME to clear British citizens from Lebanon ahead of carpet bombing?
Arabs defeated Italy and Mussolini in Libia. There's an interesting film with Anthony Quinn starring that reveals the Arab as heroic!
Prof. Norm 💙💐🦋
The question is this: How much longer could and would the US spend to sustain at this rate its overlords from the river to the sea?
Words are not enough to convey my Love, Respect and Gratitude for Professor Norman Finkelstein a True Legend who will never know the Extent, or the Ripple effects of his Work, his Passion and Sacrifice on Millions around the world... Especially on the Millions of Palestinians for Generations to come.
Ridiculous that every time i try to hit the like button... RUclips blocks it

ALLAH BLESS NORMAN ALWAYS
JEWS ARE NOT ZIONISTS
JEWS ARE OUR BROTHERS

Saludos para toda la tribu.

When Israel is a crazy state we need to ask further whether this is a healable or unhealable kind of craze, madness, insanity! Imagine the Jews of Israel have to recollect themselves after they have lost the war. What kind of remedies will they have to apply on themselves, so that the old craze won’t flare up again?
Disarmament and sanctions.
Norman is the Gem of all gems. Thank you.
thank you - unique and compelling summary ❣️
I love Prof Finkelstein. Always brings the heat. I applaud Glen for letting him speak. Stunning interview!
We are in the catastrophe now. Sad.
UToob deleted my previous comment. I only pointed out that now it must be clear to any normal, decent person that as long as the Terror State exists, one will never feel safe again.
BDS. Boycott. Disinvest, Sanctions.
BTS. Bang. Tan. Sonyeondan.
if you boycot, then why are you on youtube? lol
NORMAN ABSOLUTO.
Norman you are many things, ignoramus is not it!!! Love you handsome Boy!!
Pray for peace. All of you should be advocating for both sides to stop. Forgiveness is the only way now. All the kids under 10 have only had 10 years on this planet. I say leave it to the 10 year olds to make the decision. Not the adults. The adults can get eff'ed!!!

By November the weather will make close air support difficult.
By november the elections are over and the US could possibly do something about Israel foreign aggression without influencing the election outcome like Israel hopes. Israel didn't make those beepers explode willy-nilly, the intent was to seriously damage Hezbollah communication so they can't coordinate against an Israeli blitz attack that has to be over by november.
Talking up the rape of Berlin is wild
He wasn't talking it up. He was describing what has happened and what will happen in war when one side has so much hatred for the other.
Thank you both
Normann 👍
You cant murder soo many people and walk away untouched .Its not possible .
So very grateful for your voices and a place to come to hear actual discussion/facts...the world is and has learned and Israel will and is marching towards there demise bc of their extreme evil/pre-meditated means to torment civilians...I pray for the day when Israel has no real power or major help from the US, etc and Palestine gets it's land back/find some peace and protection in their homeland...I know to some that may seem impossible but the world is changing! So many know the truth about the history of Israel and it's evil, evil deeds since the Nakba...and will continue to learn bc of these and similar discussions...thank you!
One and only Professor Norman Finkelstein.
Thank you , Thank you Prof❤
❤ Norm

Free Palestine 🇵🇸 Free the world 💚
" in your dreams you will return to the North if you don't ceasefire in Gaza" doesn't sound like a plea to me.
Norman ❤❤ what an insightful opinion....and thanks to the interviewer also for not interfering in between
Well said and explained!
Norm is the best 🙏
Much respect for Norman…
Would love to see Alastair Crooke on System Update!
I saw this guy on the Adam Friedland show!
They have the USA and we have the GoD Norman Finkelstein 😊
Why doesn't Glenn have Ali Abunimah or Rania Khalek on?
Sometimes you need a non Muslim and non Arab to deliver the message. The way Norman delivers this message is phenomenal. All that matters is that this message needs to be delivered to a wider audience.
