- Norman Finkelstein’s address to the UCD Philosophy Society, University College Dublin, on the current state of the occupied territories. Tuesday 10 Feb 2015
In his address, Dr Finklestein discusses the recent conflicts in the occupied territories which followed the kidnapping and killing of three Israeli youths and a Palestinian teen; Israel's anti-missile defence system, the Iron Dome; Isreal’s Operation Protective Edge; and possible ways to resolve the conflict.
Finkelstein, a political scientist, has written extensively on the political, social and historical state of Israel and the occupied territories. He famously and successfully dismantled and deconstructed 'From Time Immemorial' by Joan Peters which, at the time, was considered a foundational and invaluable text on the Palestine - Israel Conflict.
Finkelstein received his doctorate in 1988 from the Department of Politics at Princeton University. He currently teaches at Sakarya University’s Center for Middle Eastern Studies in Turkey. He is the author of ten books that have been translated into 50 foreign editions. The title of his latest book is Method and Madness: The hidden story of Israel’s assaults on Gaza.
“Mr Finkelstein's research is certainly thorough. His characterisations, too, can be brilliant, and he spares nobody...” The Economist (2012).
I've been going through a difficult time in my life, Norman's passion his logic his conviction his pursuit of truth at all costs, his principles are what keep me sane, keep me floating , keep me hanging on, hats off to one of the greatest men in modern history
His support of jihad, murder and terror as long as it is committed by Islamic jihadists, should not be what is keeping you sane.
@@nicki7327 I wish you peace🙏🌸
@@nununu8937 i wish the same to you.
@@nicki7327 no what should the Palestinians do then if they fight its terrorism if they do nothing there lands is being taken away from them. Same with the kashmiris
@@baheerwahidi8700 Arabs took far more lands from Jews than what the Palestinian Arabs lost when Arabs attacked the new state of Israel. Most Israelis are from the middle east and North Africa where they were ethnically cleansed. It is time for Jew and Arab to stop the war and live in peace.
" If you want to prevent antisemitism there's two things you can do. Number one you could stop comitting massacre and number two stop calling yourself a Jewish state. "
Spot on!!
Brilliant
So Arabs can have Arab states (plural - for example: Egypt, officially the "Arab Republic of Egypt"), Germans can have a German State, Italians can have an Italian state... the list goes on... but, Jews cannot have a Jewish State?
If you quote such nonsense you're either really ignorant, an Anti-Semite or both.
@@Long-Ball-Larry The problem with Israelis and a large margin of Jews is that they mix ethnicity and religion. An arab (a racial and ethnic label) is not necessarily a follower of Islam. There is no such thing as a 'Muslim state' that aspires to reunite all followers of Islam under one single banner. There is no such thing either for Christians or Hindus. Anyone can convert to any of these said religions in spite of race and physical characteristics. The fact that you dismiss anyone that acknowledges this as antisemitic says a lot about your personal bigotry and prejudices.
@@Long-Ball-Larry Should people be homeless? No. So should I move him to your home? No.
I truly admire this man, speaking the truth the way it is 👍
5:40 - Absolutely love it! Whatever your views are of Professor Finkelstein, one thing I do admire about him is that he's very simple and unpretentious. The man just said he's happened to spend a large part of his life reading, which he finds personally enjoyable. I love how simple that is. Only a simple person can appreciate such an endeavor.
A wise person enjoys wisdom
He is simple and he is wise- he is simply wise 🙏
of course, very simple lies are very efficient with ignorants
Я посмотрела почти все выступления профессора Финкельштейна удивительно как правильно он говорит в его словах истина человечность браво
'You learn to live with all sorts of what you might call social stigmas. It's not the end of the world' (4:22).
Free Palestine from 🇵🇰
Not to be a stickler for language, but what you have written rather conveys that it is Pakistan that is holding Palestine. The correct way to write would be
“Free Palestine”
-From 🇵🇰
Free Palestine and Pakistan from Islamic jihadi lunatics.

what do you think of the jews

@@ssssssssss1638 what do you mean, what can she think?
Polish are racist people
@@waqaskhakid6158 You aren't . The most racist and undemocratic nation in the world, snobbish , arogant and greedy. You would be happy to move to Poland again because you are fed up with your desert paradise. Bringing you to Poland was the biggest mistake , bigger than Teutonic Knights in XIIIth century. You are mad , you need a psychiatrists. Keep your paws away from Poland.
Palestina Libre...Gracias Filkenstein , el mundo esta contigo.
This didn't age well... Now, anti-semitism is blasted on speakers in the UK and Australia. Proudly at that.
I don't get his logic, he says himself that when there's a military operation of Israel in gaza there's a rise of antisemitism in Europe but says there's no connection between Israel and antisemitism, shouldn't there be a rise in anti Israel? And his suggestion about the Jewish state is nonsensical 21 nations can declare themselves Christians and 50 countries Muslims, be involved in wars and not worry about a rise in anti religion based hate but 1 country shouldn't declare itself jewish just so there won't be a rise in anti semitism, it like attacking a US born Chinese man for what China is doing with the uyghers, it doesn't make any sense unless you hate Chinese people, you wouldn't describe it as an anti China act, you would call it racism
First of all I'm all in for secularism.
But let's be real here, there's a difference between a nation that's been Muslim or christian etc. for ages and a one that's less than 80 years old, literally made of colonizers who came recently, claiming the land and getting rid of the natives who aren't jewish, then declaring it's a jewish state lol , it's hilarious yet sad and pathetic
Thank you Norman.
.. would you rather be Jewish, or Roma?
In Europe there are laws against racism towards Jews and Blacks and disabled people, as well as Roma (Gypsies), but the latter is accepted as the brunt of open racist abuse. In the UK, the term 'gypo' is used as an insult to imply a dirty, filthy person.
No offense. It's understandable if you hate Jews or Muslims but the fact that they hate disabled people proves that these dudes are nothing more then a wet load of feces.
There are specific laws against displaying racism towards Black people in Europe? Name them.
And then explain how using slurs against Roma people would not fall under those same laws…
no c he w , black , roma, middle eatener, or asian should be in Europe and there would be no " ra cism" (racism being a natural self preservation instinct)
@@valcs-dreamscollector3258this is an appeal to nature fallacy. Racism is inherently illogical and it being natural does make it good or useful. Attacking people because of their ethnicity is a ridiculous waste of time and energy.
highly intelligent man
Yt, Christopher Bollyn, Tricked into War. Its mindblowing.
Amen.
God I love this man!
How can anyone not be acceptability towards Dr. Finkelstein? He throws the concept of antisemitism out the window with his mind and precence. He's outrageously gifted philosophy. Plain speaking geniality.
He’s an antisemite so of course he would throw it out. I knew he was retarded when he compared being Jewish to being short or obese
simple lies are very effective with ignorant minds like yours.
Mr Finkelstein is brilliant..
Ivanka Trump to Jared kushner another good example
Good example of what?
@@whiteman6399 Of how jews are accepted in society, meaning that the dominant culture is willing to accept marriage between jews and theirselves.

That's the movie about this great man.
I wish we could have more honest discussions like these. Any honest discussion like this always gets an antisemitic label if someone who isn't Jewish dares to wade in. All that does is push the discussion underground.
Subtitles are terrible.

@@iamatroll8339 There is a state called Israel.
Free Palestine from the jihadis and their Jew hating supporters.
@@nicki7327 say the person who steals people land and beat women and children.
I agree with him on a lot but the idea that minorities marrying into the ruling class means that that minority doesn’t face hate crimes or oppression is just patently and categorically wrong. This video came out in 2015 so obviously his claim of no rising antisemitism in the west hasn’t aged well.
That's NOT what he said.
Rising of anti semitism in the west?
By antisemitism do you mean the still unconditional support for Israel? No Jews are under threat in Europe, USA etc
@@mick7557If you see the polls of Jews in the USA and Europe then you will know that antisemitism has risen and many Jews feel unsafe and do not feel comfortable with expressing their Jewish identity. This is because of antisemites like Finkelstein and their rhetoric. It has also risen around 1400% since the time of this video. So Finkelstein was incorrect. Finkelstein’s rhetoric directly fuels this antisemitic hatred through this erroneous idea that it is somehow justified to verbally and physically attack anybody on the planet who identifies as a Jew because you have a disagreement with Israeli policies. Acting like they are all one and the same when it suits you.
He claims to be the descendant of Holocaust survivors but directly contributed to antisemitism and spends his time trying to cultivate hatred for Jews and an environment for a second Holocaust. The only people that listen to him are anti-semites and far left tankies.
YES
I don't mean to be disrespectfull against anybody and certainly not to mister Finkelstein. But Abrahamic racial profiling in today's secular society is not exactly going to help the intellectual debate.
Love you..❤ ma korzenie z mojego kraju z Polski..
I've never experienced anti semitism in my life, except towards Arabs....
excellent video

Just call me Israel or Palestine!
I dont like and I dont respect the crocodile tears - Norman Finkelstein
The 13th tribe has no claim to the land much less any of the 12. The people of Israel are not special in any way shape or form from any other ethnic group.
The word has lost it's meaning due to being overused. We all live together fine.
Free Palestine from 🇧🇩
Assimilation is when minority cultures are ok with their children marrying into the majority culture not the other way round ....
**There is no such thing as ethnic "assimilation" in Israel, and in America to marry a Jew almost always the children must be considered "culturally and ethnically Jewish", like the children of Blacks with Whites are part of the Black "tribe", even if, like Obama, they're 50/50, were raised exclusively by a White mother without the Black father, etc etc...
Absolute legend.

I would imagine he's correct about anti-semitism in Europe. But what about anti-semitism in the Arab world/countries?
Why would we like our enemy ?
@@Mossaab-kg3cj5hc5s are you proving my point? Anti-Semitism is still strong.
@@kelseymj1975so to be against the genocide of your own people is antisemitic?
@@Mossaab-kg3cj5hc5s proving my point?
@@abrahamlincoln9472 No. I used the term Anti-Semitism because it's the term Norm Finkelstein used, which to his credit is most commonly used to describe anti-Jewish sentiment even though Arabs and Arabic speaking people are also Semitic.

They have used that term to amass all the wealth in the world today
If there was so much anti-semitism in the west. than why don't the jews simply move to Israel. your homeland....because the fact is jews have it very good in the western world and if they moved to Israel they would have to enlist in the IDF or get a real job
that is right, go to israel !
you mean Palestine ? and hell no go back to the black sea area
Aeschylus Jones Stop talking SHIT . The fact of the matter is that many thousands of Jews from the U.S have gone to Israel reguardless and have intergrated sucessful . People are free to move to a country of their choice.
They have the need of perpetual victimhood
This was actually a good argument against identity politics in general, namely that things should be seen at a legal level.

He is talking to a country’s Taoiseach who sent his condolences to the German Embassy over Hitler’s death.
Your talking about a leader who fought for Irish independence against British occupiers. British black and tans were just as bad as natzies for any Irish person during that time.
@@Maidaseu A leader who in some way was responsible for Collins death.the Irish government informed Gray that they could not attend a memorial service for Roosevelt in a Protestant church. The Taoiseach and his colleagues might not be afraid to offend the Germans by honouring Roosevelt, but they were not about to offend the archbishop of Dublin John Charles McQuaid by defying the ban on Catholics attending services in a Protestant church.
I was kicked out of over a 1000 towns and cities but I totally never did anything wrong and if u say so you go to prison totally. 😜
Anti-occupation ❤

"No evidence for these claims of antisemitism". LMAO.
Like in most things, Normie is wrong. 🤣
Моё почтение тебе профессор
Im NOT anti-semitic, period! I am very strongly pro-Palestinian, and hv felt for yrs that israel's illegal, unjust occupation has fed into that vile concept.
Calling it an occupation. And saying it’s illegal and unjust when it isn’t, is antisemitic. It’s only unjust based on your own subjective perspective. Israel is the original land, and won every war, so they get to keep the land, and as long as they keep winning they can do what they want. That’s how the world works objectively.
@@yamiscape Horseshit!! UN mandate set up 2, not one state, Palestinians hv had their land occupied by zionists. Zionists are merely nazis w different uniforms! The world now stands w Palestine, not Nazi israel!
@@yamiscape u are just an apologist for genocide! SHAME, SHAME on U!!
All in all I like Finkelstein but I think he's a little off base on some of his points
Funny how many of these threats to synagogues are eventually traced to Zionists trying to create some "anti-Semitism" where it didn't exist before.
الساميون هم كل ذريت سام ومنهم الكنعانيون والعرب وكل سكان الشرق الاوسط وبعض افريقيا من الاولين من الاقوام مثل البابليون والسومريون وغيرهم ولهذا لايجوز الدفاع عن فئة وترك الفئات الاوخرى علما ان اكثر اليهود من اصول غير الشرق ذلكم ليسوا بسامين ولكن عندما يعرف الحقيقة الناس هي ان اولاد سيدنا ادم ومنهم اولاد نوع علية السلام لم يتزوجوا من محارمهم بل اللة خلق من جنسهم زوجات لهم وكانتا واحدة بيضاء البشرة والثانية سوداء البشرة والاوخرى صفراء البشرة سينكشف كذب التوراة والتلمود للناس جميعهم اما سيدنا ادم فقد خلق اللة لة امرئة من نفس النوع البشري وليس من ضلع من اضلاعة كل هذا يبرهن ان الانبياء لم يمارسوا الجنس مع محارمهم ابدا ويبرهن ان التوراة كتبت على مقايس ذلكم السياسين والحكام في قديم الزمان !!!؟؟؟ صدق مجرب ولاتصدق حكيم

As much as I love this man, old people are such class reductionists. And i do believe class to be the most important issue we're facing.
u can listen to this nonsense or just google some stats to show hes totally wrong.
THE PROBLEM OF BEING A PROFESSOR : YOU FAIL TO REALIZE THE REALITY OF THE COMMON PERSON JEWS IN IRAN WERE HURT . JEWS IN ARAB LANDS FLED . NOW JEWS IN EUROPE ARE FLEEING --SEE MIAMI , LOS ANGELES , AND EVEN INDIA . DOES BEING A PROFESSOR CREATE A BLINDFOLD ?
It the Jews people fault they fled Arab countries. They collaborated with Israel because there were traitors. Jews in Iran are living fine. You scumbag.
ELIAS HAGOOLI my boss is Ashkenazi her daughter has married an Iranian Jew and his mother states , who lives in uk
There is a common misconception that Iranian Jews suffer the same fate as Palestinians in the occupied territories!
Brilliantly put I think ....
And the others were Arab Jews not Jews from Arab lands as you do often like to say ....
NYC yankee Yiddish Ellis Island 1905
When did Jews flea Arab countries? When were the Arab Jewish genocides? Arabs and Jews are the same race.
I have to disagree with Mr. Finkelstein. Just try to assert a Jewish identity in any European country and see what happens when you ware a Kippah, etc.
+Jeffrey Walsby You will attract some hostile attention from North African Muslims, and will be left alone by people of long standing European ancestry. The problem is European immigration policy.
Jeffrey Walsby Hi Jeffery I just tried that and actually got to marry the presidents daughter.. any other social experiments you suggest I do? Maybe I should try wearing a Muslim head scarf and see how far that gets me? Or maybe I should try being black in front of the police? Should I try being Mexican around a border?
You obviously fully bought into your own propaganda and don’t see how ridiculous it sounds to everyone else.
alnot01 interestingly enough, you should see how Israel treats black/African Jews.. just look it up in the little RUclips search bar- it’ll show you a dark contrast to your hypothetical world.
Well they are not so accepted because they have always excluded themselves, antisemitism is not just a random mantal bias some people have developed for no reasons...
@@xv12commander Ahahahahahahaha
Your silly arguments...
Sorry Norm but Jews are not marrying into the ruling class. They are the ruling class. The Clintons, Cuomois, etc. work for their Jewish funders. They are employees, not bosses.
This is anti semitism

There is systemic antisemitism in this comment section. Its disgusting.

Well, it's 2019 and this man was wrong.
How so?
@@paulconnelly4050 There is a rise in antisemitism in Europe.
It is 2019 and Finkelstein is still right. You are wrong. And you are full of crap. You have no evidence, no proof, no arguments, only misinformation.
@@Mogamishu , I don't think it is wrong to say that there has been a rise in attacks against Jews, I believe that is a statistical fact, (I'm sure you can recall some rather high profile cases in recent years) but I don't think there has been much of a change in how Europeans perceive Jews. If there has been a slight change, I unfortunately think that is mainly due to immigration from Middle eastern countries, many of which has long been fostering a culture of hatred towards Israel and by relation - Jews.
This is yet another common denominator between the extreme right and Islamic fundamentalism (just read OldSchools comments for further proof).
Even though there might a a kernel of truth in saying that Jews are a prevalent minority among the political and cultural elite in many western countries, that doesn't change the fact that your conspiracy talk of "Zionist-owned western Mainstream media" really only helps substantiate the perception of a rise in anti-Semitism.

If you get attacked, deplatformed, target and defamed for speaking about a certain group of people having a suspicious amount of influence and power then maybe your suspicions aren't totally unfounded lol
If you get fired for abusing people at work, it’s your boss’ fault and it’s clearly a sign that your abuse was justified and correct. No. That is not how it works. You break the rules and you get punished. If you understand that some people have more influence and power than others then maybe it is not a good idea to be racist towards said people and spread lies about the entire ethnic group that they belong to. This is common sense.
