- Опубликовано: 4 фев 2025
- democracynow.org - Extended interview with scholar Norman Finkelstein, author of the new book, “Gaza: An Inquest into Its Martyrdom.” The book has just been published as Israel is facing a possible International Criminal Court war crimes probe over its 2014 assault on Gaza, which killed more than 2,100 Palestinians, including over 500 children.

Imagine this is 5 years ago and the same thing is happening and people really got a short memory
They keep quoting October 7th like it’s the beginning. & using it to align with 9/11 in terms of sentiment.
Bibi Naziandajewtu
@@emerald7857 more often it is used and compared to the Holocost
Not really a short memory ..it's called ignoring and highlighting a certain event and time to support their gcide
@@janeking6125 Nah, Zionazis aren't real Jews. But fact.
Unbelievable, I had to do a double take. This interview took place 5 years ago!!!! Thank you do much for posting this
Exactly that’s why I was thinking are they really rockets or just big firecrackers, nobody mentioned it, so I thought it must be me. They used to have big firecrackers I thought they had upgraded
incredible
Big Israeli lies through Israél’s propaganda machine
Wash, rinse, repeat.
He’s too legalistic
BRAVO!!! Another GREAT presentation Amy, Prof Finklstien is a NATIONAL TREASURE!
If anyone deserves a legitimate "I told ya so" it's Norm Finklestein. The Man deserves a Nobel for his work as a voice for the voiceless. ❤
Are u kidding they will never do that until AIPAC is dismantled which should be done soon.
He is a gem among men and I could not respect and admire him more.
@@annmowatt7547 Absolutely ❤️
I think you watched another vid 😅 I saw him smiling with the smile of an idiot and analysing for half an hour how certain he was that the hamas tunnels are a few and that they were not terror tunnels and were not meant to be used for atacking civilians and that this was israeli propaganda. Are you all nuts or animals like Hamas? There is no other explanation. At least for you the average idiot. For him there is a third option, that he gets paid by iran. Really now, after watching this interview, the guy should be banned from everywhere for the his dangerous analysis on very complex matters that cost lives to thousands of palestinians and israelis. Such idiots have blood on their hands, for supporting Hamas and presenting it as a good force. It is not only the israelis tgat they hurt, it is mainly the palestinians he hurts, by letting them in the mercy of hamas and being poor and living in the mud, just because he and you all want to support terrorism, the distractive force in the gazan palestinian society, or just because you took a wrong mistaken stance on the issue abd you now only care to prove yourselves right, instead to care how the people of the region will live together and prosper
@@annmowatt7547do you respect him for being naive and mistaken and abalysing for half an hour with the smile of an idiot on his face that hamas is not using its tunnels for terrors, or that they are only a few?
Wow! 5 years later; I thought he was referring to the current 2023 Gaza/Israel situation!!! I kept wondering why he was referring to the former US president, and then I checked the posting date of this video! This man was on point with *everything* he said. Amazing work Democracy Now!

@@intihayati How do you know he has the truth? He has an interpretation of the facts.
Professor Finkelstein, it is now six years after you gave this interview. The world changed. We can verify that your main arguments are true with our own eyes because the Internet changed. You might have not known back then, but you will be one of the most important historiansof our times. This will not happen because of people your age but because of the generation Z.
Thank you Norman for showing true what is going on. 👍🏻
6 years ago, I've been living under a rock 😞💔
Who is here in 2024? Finkelstein was right then and he is right now.
Norman Finkelstein is the reason why I'm pro Free and independent palistine.
This started autoplaying for me, didn’t even realize it was 6 years old until I saw your comment.
Me neither and it auto played from something else I was watching and I assumed it was current. 🤦♂️

Do u know who's not here in 2024? Norm Finkelstein. Why? Because he's been cancelled by Democracy Now! since he's criticized the Woke Movement and all of it's fake left posturing.
I'm always amazed at how Norman remembers all the detail especially going back in time .I always come away from an NF interview completely enlightened and where all the dots are joined and make complete sense - Thank you Both ❤
Israeli occupation has murdered thousands of PALESTINIANS. and the other indigenous people to that area since the BALFOUR ACCORD SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN THE 40s-50s.
He couldn’t be more right - with the atrocities happening in Palestine right now, I think we’re all looking for answers about how the people with the most power are failing at upholding democracy
People may hold such power, with such a lack of accountability, only in the absence of democracy, be it political or economic.
As the common people wise up,
The mask will continue to slip.

Israel calls this genocidal behavior, “Mowing the Grass”.
What could be more despicable?
@@lars1701again U and the other pigs who support this oppressive occupying regime can say whatever u want. Your time will come
Nikhil Raghunathan no it won’t, with God on your side who can stand against you? How many wars against Israel do you scumbags have to lose to get it through your head to leave Israel alone?
Marc P. Whatever u say. I’m not even arab. Give the Palestinians equal rights and there won’t be any wars. Israel’s goal in 2006 was to destroy hezbollah once and for all. Did they succeed? Your IdF are cowards who can only fight children. Israel can take as much money as they want from Uncle Sam and oppress as much as they want, in the end oppressors never win. All empires fall and you will Be no exception.
Marc P. Yes I am a one state solution kind of guy. One state with equal rights for all. Not a Jewish majority at any cost like you want you fucking racist piece of shit. They were offered their own state when they were the Majority and stil offered less than half of the land. Would you accept that? As for Gaza many of those settlers were transferred to the West Bank and Gaza is still under blockade by land air and sea.
It has been established by Israelis own historians than the land was ethnically cleansed of Arabs.
I don’t want Jews to leave the land but I do want one state with equal rights for all and if you have a problem with that then you’re a racist scum bag. Like I said don’t worry your apartheid state which intentionally kills children will fall and one state is inevitable . Just a matter of time. Now I’ll give u the last word because there’s no point debating racist filth like you. Fuck you and fuck the IDF.
You probably don’t even have any roots in the Middle East and yet claim that land as if you’ve been there for centuries LOL.
I can’t wait till hezbollah fucks u up once again. Have a nice life.
@@Robert_Browne Okay there pal, BDS has shown how anti-Semitic it is but don't worry you'll be able to cloak it forever due to Israel not going anywhere :)
Many Many Thanks to professor Finkelstein and Amy.
Thank you Norman Finkelstein for your hard work, clear mindedness, perseverance and immense bravery saying it as it really is, despite the constant subtle or overt put-downs by various people.
Norman Finkelstein is a human being with heart and mind balanced...a rare gem
When you hear him talking, you just come into a realization that we have no Democracy in our country.
I have seen so many Jews like Hercsh, Sachs and him talk on behalf of the victims and that is amazing!!
Tell the world where do Israel resources come from to support all its war crimes.
Yeah his admiration for Hamas makes him a veritable prince. Whispered in Gaza - Their Leaders Are Rich
Part of what stokes Gazans’ bitterness, according to “Hisham,” is the ostentatious behavior of Hamas leaders. “Nowadays, it’s not an occupier who is killing me,” he says, but rather Hamas, which imposes crushing taxes, leaving Gazans in abject poverty, while its officials have “land, businesses, and vast sums of money.”
Hamas imposes a heavy tax burden, collecting roughly $30 million per month from already be-leaguered Gazans. These taxes fund a largely opaque budget, even the purpose of which is secret. Yet Hamas “offers few services in exchange, and most aid and relief projects are covered by the international community,” reports AP. Mohammed Agha, a gas station owner feeling the pinch, lamented, “Before Hamas, 1,000 shekels (about $320) a month was enough for a family to get by. Now, 5,000 isn’t enough because they tax the citizens.”
Meanwhile, despite outwardly projecting an air of austerity, Hamas officials and their families live in relative luxury. In 2009, Hamas political bureau chairman Ismail Haniyeh declared, "Our hands are clean. We do not steal funds, hold real estate, or build villas." Yet in recent years, Haniyeh’s son has become widely known in Gaza as “Abu al-Aqarat [Father of Properties]” for extensive real estate holdings made possible by his father’s influence. Earlier this month, Palestinian journalist Lara Ahmed reported that Haniyeh has laundered several million dollars among his extended family. As Palestinian journalist Akram Atallah observed that “Hamas as an authority has been exposed,” he said. “The people found out that its leaders live much better than they do.”
Gazan youth sometimes respond to such information with dark humor. Last year, local activists launched a social media campaign drawing attention to Hamas financial impropriety, titled "Our Hands Are Clean." A recent poll by The Washington Institute found not only that large majorities of Gazans “are frustrated with Hamas governance,” but also that 84 percent of Gazans prioritize “internal political and economic reform over foreign policy issues.”
@@reverendbarker650very long winded comment to justify your calls for genocide.
Keep trying, the support for Israel and peoples resilience to their propaganda is growing with each failed attempt.

keep living man till 300, a wonderful man fighting for truth
Norman Finkelstein is an amazing man. In all these years he has never lost his integrity, his commitment and compassion, he stands for what is truly right and just. He is a gift from God to Humanity, as part of the humane race we should stand with him to save the Palestinian People.
He thinks his rhetoric is moral
and he takes the high road when discussing Israel but
we know the type- self hating
Jew
This man is really honest and brutally truthful.
Remember, he had been arrested two times by the NY police in Oct 2017. But he never wavered and continued the struggle despite his personal difficulties.
I WONDER HOW NO ONE HEAR HAS NOT MENTIONED JULIEN ASSANGE DOING TIME IN BELLMARSH PRISON FOR TELLING THE WORLD ABOUT THE BIGGEST TERRORIST ORGANANIZATION IN THE WORLD THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT. WHY HE ONLY TOLD THE TRUTH 12 YEARS IN JAIL WITH NO CONVICTION SOME DEMOCRACY RIGHT THERE FOLKS THE TRUTH HAS NEVER BEEN TOLD ALL OF HISTORY IS MADE UP LIES GUARANTEED.

And here we are 5 years later, and it is apparently worse.
Apparently? No; glaringly.
Key word: apparently
The Zionist maps and planning for Greater Israel have been available since the 1950s.
No gaza strip, no west bank... all 100% Zionist GREATER ISRAEL. Just because Gaza or West Bank want Israel to stop growing, does not mean israel will stop growing. Quite the opposite... Israel has received $2 Billion more in investments since Gaza War started.
More War = More Profits.

Ditto from Canadian elder.
Sad thing is .... the algorithm will only show what people videos that they relate to or side with because that's what they are viewing. I see this but my family won't and they are catholic that support Israel. I stand with palestine as a Mexican revert to Islam. Those are my brothers and sisters in islam, they are fellow humans & OUR brothers and sisters under God All mighty!
Maybe you could share the video with them.
Just so you know brother. You are not alone in this struggle. May you be strong. May the struggling muslims win. Allah knows best.
When ideology and/or morality supercede your humanity, you become a monster.
Paraphrasing Sadhguru
No truer words ever spoken
Great point. Change the algorithm so we all see opposite opinions. I subscribe to Fox to keep an Eye on them so I get it all
Actually, no algorithm can stop someone from finding the truth-IF we activiley SEEK it. Most of us are complacent and believe whatever we hear unless its something that interferes with OUR comfort. But if we start caring about others, we will take more interest in seeking the truth about what is going on around us, what kind of people are leading us, and what human beings around the world are really dealing with. Leaders want to manipulate what you know and what you think-but we don't have to let that happen to us.
I was waiting for him to say Oct 7, then I realized holy crap, this is years old! Still relevant! Crazy

Somewhere, you will find videos from ten to dozens of years ago about this... and it's still the same, even worse now...

Whispered in Gaza - We Need a Mature Government
In recent years, observes Fadi, Gazans have discovered that “the Palestine which Hamas wants to liberate is not the same Palestine which we as Palestinians were expelled from. … There is now an entire people there - and that, a people, and Israel as a whole, which the Palestinians actually need.” While Hamas makes it “extremely hard to talk about peace,” Fadi believes that “if we could engage the outside world, it would be possible for Palestinians in Gaza to regain their humanity. … [and] in recognizing that life has value, they’d see the humanity in Israelis too.”
Hamas often claims that victory is imminent. Last year, Hamas politician Kanaan Abed declared, “The State of Israel will be history. Palestinians outside Palestine: Prepare your papers. You will return to Palestine after the liberation.” Many Gazans see a different reality. As one young Gazan struggling to provide for his family told the Economist, “My life is like a TV screen with no picture.”
Rather than open up new spaces for Gazans, Hamas hems them in still further. As noted earlier, in 2021, after Gazan activists held a series of Zoom conversations with Israelis to discuss the possibility of peace, Hamas arrested several of them. Hamas’s armed wing declared in a statement, “Normalization in all its forms and activities is treason, a crime, and religiously, nationally, and morally unacceptable.” The group’s leader was imprisoned and tortured, according to the AP. Omar Shakir, Israel-Palestine director at Human Rights Watch, noted that the incident reflects Hamas’s “systematic practice of punishing those whose speech threatens their orthodoxy.”
Hes probably only alive because he seems nutty.
@@reverendbarker650hamas are radical nuts. Werent they raised in Lebanon in the refugee camps chanting every day in the schools there death to isreal etc. Its hard to know he seems a bit nuts. Surely we have satellites that can look at a missile and see the magnitude..he says only one house was demolished? I never heard that. But like we really have no clue its good to get this guys perspective considering the horrific volume of isrelai what washing being peddled on every corner. I mean if you don't respect whitewashing hamas then hopefully you don't respect anyone who whitewash isreal.
Los que dicen la verdad son muy valientes en este mundo de mentiras y oscuridad son la luz
He was 100% right then..
And 100% right Now
I don't always agree with him on everything but Norman's inciveness and intellectual honesty is greatly appreciated here.
Obama said "that the power disparity between Israel and the Palestinian is so staggering." Israel is tremendously powerful while the Palestinian is almost powerless at the face of Israel's occupation. For the past 10 years Hamas struck Israel with 35 thousand rockets and could only muster 69 Israeli deaths. Israel besieged Gaza and for just a span of 4 days. several thousands Palestinians died with greater number of them civilians and children. We don't glorify death regardless of the exchange of human lives involved. The point is, how could the Palestinians be the aggressors when they are just reacting to the daily violence perpetrated by Israel agaisnt them? 75 years of oppression could make someone resorts to things that could be labeled as despicable. There must be balance in the narratives.
FAFO .. you know what that means.

Unbelievable, I had to do a double take. This interview took place 5 years ago

This "man" is part of the problem - not the solution.
My God, this was so prophetic, it's startling and a reminder that there are people gifted with clarity and humanity that guides them through life. Professor Finkelstein is beyond amazing.

@@CaptainJackSparrrow1 Actually the original Hamas charter or whatever had clear, classic antisemitic language, and on official levels they have generally been supportive of regaining all of Palestine for its (mostly non-Jewish) pre-Zionist inhabitants. But they have also made peace feelers toward Isr. which were generally rebuffed, obeyed ceasefires or pauses in fighting which Isr. generally broke first if I'm not mistaken, and in any case, no words on a piece of paper can justify Israel's campaigns of mass murder. In fact I am beginning to think that it's all directed to forcing the Palestinians out of Gaza - i.e. complete ethnic cleansing of an inconvenient people. And I think the Gazans know this, and know that if they exit the borders in response to Isr.'s terror campaign, they were never be allowed back in. So I pray they can be steadfast: "sumud."
I have to buy his book as well.
Holy cow. I was listening to this amazingly detailed interview and it wasn't until the end that I realized it took place 6 years ago.
So what I find astounding is how many recent comments remarking how old this interview is, rather than acknowledging complicity of the media and education system to ignore/stifle the 75 year ongoing situation in Gaza. Has it occurred to anyone how much other information is being kept from us? The lack of self awareness is mind boggling. No one wants to admit they’ve been the victim of propaganda.
Finkelstein is the leading intellectual on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
He is the leading asshole.
Ivan Olvera yes. He is.
Eric K why is he because he speaks sense ...something you haven’t got
yeah and you are.... eric k.....er i'l go with norm thx
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL> Clown.
Wow that was a fantastic insightful interview given by Norman ! I’m going to keep up with him !
As usual, Dr. Norm Nails It!
NOTHING outshines truth.
Still relevant and still no accountability as we continue to witness the decades of corruption and propaganda. We are grateful for you, Professor.
Thank you for having Norman Finkelstein, however dated.
Thank you professor Finkelstein. The truth will prevail
😊
What a profound insight. Mainstream media will never shine his light. Thank you for speaking the truth.
They are now!
Some bookstore chains won’t carry his books neither - depending on who owns the stores!
Brilliant work - great episode
"I believe in memory. I believe these things should be remembered. It’s the only-it’s the only thing you can do for the dead, you know, is to remember them."
I learned a lot from this man, he's so well knowledgeable on international law and politics,we can take all the pages from his books
I had never imagined I would find journalism of this scope in the USA.
When you think that this is still pertinent, in October 2023.
This video has aged so well. Today we see this and understand what’s happening is not new.
It is a new low for Isfail
The Nakba never ended. 1967 war "a war of choice" led to 270,000 driven from their land. The ongoing war in Gaza is more of the same.
I listened to the whole thing. The woman reporter is such a professional! Everything went very smoothly due to her ability to lead. I wish I had the vocabulary the author does. I try to add new words but as I watch this guy I see just how much work is required to obtain my goal. I'd be unstoppable if I had the ability to converse with an affinity to lead well!!! Just imagine.
Six years later - knowing this has been going on for decades - can anyone really believe this started 10/07?
No one with knowledge about that area thinks Oct 7th was the beginning of this pathetic situation. 😉
This massacre ISRAEL JEWS ZIONIST,create 76 YEARS of (NAKBA), so the Palestinian people live in concentration camps for 76 years abused sexually torture,humiliate,76 YEARS,,is time for the Palestinian people to DEFEND themselves, they completely decide from Palestinian Land terrorist,Palestinian doesn’t have military,weapons nothing, because they was living in PEACE,until the JEWS come from their Holocaust, and invade Palestine,very quickly,, 76 long suffering YEARS
Watching the wounded babies made me wonder if those babies, who would be around seven years old now, are surviving the latest constant nightmare of bombing, destruction and death.
Just like their parents. Israel's been doing this for decades.
Some of the genocide videos I’ve seen on the Palestinians have truly made me cry. At the age of 10 I’ve lived through the genocide and ethnic cleansing the Serbian army carried out on Kosovo - I truly feel the pain the Palestinians are going through
Finkelstein should get a Nobel prize for truthful information he should be elected as president of the United Nations.
Amy Goodman!! You are amazing and equally courageous to let this man speak the truth and bring it in front of the world. God bless you.
Amy Goodman is a liar and puts out Pallywood videos. Those Gaza kids are HAMAS 18-20 yr old so dont believe a terrorist org that kills gays.
This man deserves his flowers while he's still with us.
This man is full of inspiration and courage. I cant wait to read his book.
Thanks for teaching the world the history of the conflict.
It is as if he had predicted the future. What we are witnessing now did not happen in a vaccum.
He didn't predict the future, he said what was going on there over and over again.
@@davidfoxtail4793 That's what Uzma meant... in describing the past, he 'inadvertently' predicted the future. Sad.
This is tremendous. Six years later and things like this are still happening.
Give Norman the nobel price. Nobody in history has deserved it more !! No bias - no lies - no inacuracy. In a league above all others.
Heck... give him every freaking price there is!
I want to tell Norman - (if you know him relay this message) - "Norman, you made me regain faith in human nature. When I heard you speak - i realized inteligent humans actually exist."
Inteligens concured your desire to leak emotions. Impressiv !!
Thank you Norman. And stay alive! Dont let them kill or silence you.
The Nobel Peace Prize is overrated. Since, the king of the drones (Obama ) had the Nobel Prize it doesn't mean jack.
Omg what about ghandi?
It should be interesting really who will get the next Nobel Peace price…
This is brilliant. His comment towards the end about anti-Semitism is very much on point, even more so nowadays. Any support for Palestine from many famous people effectively means they are denounced and lose their jobs.
With all Norman knows it’s amazing that he is able to speak so softly. His detailed knowledge has to be an enormous burden to carry 24/7. If more people do their share of this work it could help ease his burden. He deserves a break .
This is quite enlightening and disturbing. I thought I knew the history between Palestine and Israel. I have been wrong. Thank you.
Norman is, yet again, superlative! The man is truly a national treasure. Would that we had many more of his like!
So disheartening to listen to this with the genocide going on today for the past 14 months!!
This interview is ripping my heart out…💔
