With all due respect, Dignity and Piers Morgan are not words that go together.. He's been straight out exploiting the conflict in Gaza by staging human c**k fights to boost his own social media presence.

Thanks Norman. You will never be forgetten in history of Palestine plight.

"I know what happened before October 7th. I know what happened to the battered woman for 20 years, because I was the next-door neighbour. I heard the screams, I heard the banging, I saw how physically battered she was. So, when I heard that she killed her husband and she stabbed him a 100 times, and all of the tabloids had as their headlines 'Monster woman stabbed husband a 100 times,' I know what proceeded those 100 stabbings"
This man is beautiful. He's shedding much-needed light on the depth of understanding and empathy required to grasp the complexities of such conflict, including the long-standing suffering of Palestinians, which span decades and predate October 7th. I'm so grateful that you had him on, thank you.

Agreed. That was an astonishingly apt metaphor. All the news presenters keep asking 'do you condemn this woman' and again and again shy away from, or justify, what SHE endured all those years.
Toilet paper heads
Here is a thought. How about calling the police at some time before the event.
@@tacticalskiffs8134In keeping with the analogy. Who could the Palestinian’s call?
As a Lebanese enduring the hardships of war with the Israeli occupation since birth, encountering Norman seven years ago was a revelation. His depth of understanding mesmerized me. In a world where Israel often receives preferential treatment, Norman stood out as a beacon of conscience. He saw beyond the biased media portrayals, recognizing us for who we truly are, not the distorted image often projected. Thank you, Norman, for your insight and empathy.
Be safe, thank you for sharing. Love and support from CT USA…. I’m so ashamed my tax dollars go to destruction and war…
Wdym "under Israeli occupation"? Israel doesn't occupy Lebanon.
What do you mean "under Israeli occupation"? Israel does not occupy Lebanon.
They had done so up till 2006 and currently still keep sheeba farms. @lucasssw4590 also they keep bombing us till now.
@@Mega88888 I know history and I'm sorry you village was occupied. As you said, the comment implied it's an ongoing thing, that was my counter.
Found this quite hard to watch, I'm a 60-year-old man and the more I strip away the perception of my past assumptions the more frustrated I become. The dilemma is if all that matters about life is happiness, is being happy in your ignorance preferable to being less happy in your knowledge. Norman Finkelstein seeks and speaks the truth, yet it is easier not to listen and be happy, is it better not to see, if what we see kills a bit of us. For some reason it made me consider my past my present and the limitations of my future but it also made me want to shake his hand because it made me realize that being happy in your ignorance is not a legacy I want, I'd rather carry the burden of truth than walk down the hill with a lie.
You expressed yourself beautifully... I feel exactly the same but could never have articulated my feelings so well.❤🕊
So well said and exactly how I feel.
Thank you for expressing exactly how I feel!
Beautifully said - another question derived from said: Do I shake the other people around me out of their blissful enviable ignorance? Or do I grant them the luxury not to look truth in the eyes?
Very well said 👍
Now I am in Egypt, and hearing Norman taking about his mother taking about the hunger reminds me of how I lost 66 pounds in 6 months because of the hunger and I was living better than most of the people in Gaza I had money. I could buy food and not just live on aid which is a luxury not available for 90% of the people, and I had fled the north after the first month of the war before the starvation kicked in.
but nothing is worse than the fear and the hunger. being afraid all the time and hungry all the time eats you both mind and body, I can not believe that my hands are shaking after a month just writing about this.
I send sympathy and sorrow for the trauma you and your countrymen have endured. I hope you can heal and gain a peaceful, ordered life. I pray for this insanity and cruelty to end.
May Allah grant you accelerated aafiyah. Aameen
Allah will answer your dua my friend. The dua of the oppressed is always answered !
Thank you for telling your story ❤️
Brother I’m glad you are save I’m glad you are not suffering anymore but you left your brothers and sisters to suffer to fight, if it was me I wouldn’t left my home and left my people to fight it alone I would of stayed helped anyway I can to fight this monster called Israel even if it means my death, but hey everybody for themselves , stay safe

@@promark5317 No. It would simply be true. Look it up . . . .
Finkelstein is a hack. An embarrassment to academia.
Many persons have cherished his quite atypical candor and scholarship now for many years.
The domestic abuse analogy is also a good way for people to understand the ICJ provisional ruling. It is, in effect, a restraining order.
When a judge issues a restraining order, they aren’t proclaiming someone guilty without a trial; but issuing an order to ensure that more violence isn’t committed before the trial.
But the abusive husband in this case is just ignoring the court order.
Dr.Norman,God bless xou and your family for speaking true.❤❤❤❤❤

And yet we're constantly told the power Jews have over Western media is an 'antisemitic trope'. The current narrative has to have it's roots somewhere and for a reason and if it's not the aforementioned, I for the life of me cannot figure out what else it could be.
I think the media is very split on this matter. Maybe different in the US but in Western Europe it seems to be quite the opposite. Media are focusing very heavily on the atrocities committed by Israel (of which there are many) and conveniently forget to mention all of the atrocities committed by Hamas.
@@OnlyFlans42no they're not. Not mentioning eve 10% of what Israel is doing. They media is still hung up on October 7th.
It’s always been so. When the US Civil Rights movement started, when the Vietnam Anti war movement started, when the anti-apartheid movement was going, the mainstream media and the US government treated them like fringe lunatics. Now history vindicates them all and you’d be hard pressed to find anyone to support the previous status quo.
May the Palestinian rights movement follow the same path 🤞✌️🇺🇸

he still is wrong with moralizing jihad
@@MikeMW87
The Palestine Laboratory by Antony Lowenstein will give you better understanding of what the Palestinians have been subjected to.
@@MikeMW87 And you are wrong to use the word jihad in the context of Gaza.
@@zetectic7968 Not at all. It is a Jihad. Jihad means struggle. It's a Jihad for the freedom and liberation of the Palestinian people. They are wrong in thinking a "moralising jihad" makes sense or that a Jihad is automatically a bad thing.
Quite refreshing to see someone acknowledging Norman Finkelsteins scholarship and knowledge and rightly pointing out how unqualified those he's been debateing are
Why is keffiyeh white, if all that its good for is for them to wipe their bums with? Wouldnt that be smelly to wipe bum before they wrap their head with rag?

Well finklestein got absolutely humiliated by that unqualified streamer.
Norman Finklestein is a truly great MAN. He will be remembered as a brilliant light in the darkness of our times. Let's pray of our deliverance from this darkness.
Yes lets pray for the deliverance of Israel... and it is the darkness of Hamas that they need delivering from, as I feel sure you will agree.
Every time I listen to Norman... I have more respect for him.

@@abdoubadji3744 He's a liar. or He's senile. He literally quoted a book to the author who told him his interpretation was wrong and he just kept on saying the same thing.
He says things that are provably wrong.
I gotta say the last two times I've listened to him I've lost respect: his infantile behaviour in the lex fridman debate and his defence of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
@@abdoubadji3744 ''The houthis deserve the nobel peace prize'' - norm finklestein. man hes so brave xD
I don't think people truly comprehend how much vitriol and spite this man has had to endure because he dedicated his life exposing the truth about the inhumane treatment of the Palestinians. He has been ostracised and condemned as a traitor by people within his own community. What a selfless hero.
His books are worth reading
He gets what he dishes out. Most of his debate with Destiny was simply ad-homonym.
@@moonants A professor who has dedicated most of his life to covering Gaza being put across the table from a Twitch streamer who's read some articles since October. I would be frankly insulted that this debatebro would even dare open his mouth on a subject he hasn't been alive long enough to even experience.
@@FanaticalTactician That is not how it works. He had no substantive response to Destiny's arguments and resorted to ad-hominem attacks. Even Finkelstein recognises Benny Morris as one of the most eminent historians - and Morris kept agreeing with Destiny's position. History is bias, no matter how much you know. I dont need to be a historian to know that Finkelstein lies when he says "Gaza is the most populated place on God's green earth" - a quick Google search proves how ridiculous that statement is - so how much else does he simply exaggerate? When called out for cherry picking, he resorts to ad-hominem. Dont fall for Finkelstein's emotive rhetoric, he's manipulating you.
@@moonants stop diverting from the issue at hand. Dr. Finklestein IS the leading expert on this issue and no MSM is seeking him out but is willing to put several unqualified and deeply biased pro-Israel representatives on to peddle lies. When thousands of innocent and defenseless men, women, and children are being massacred, it’s vexing to listen to someone constantly dehumanizing Palestinians and holding up Israeli as some paragon of virtue when it has been anything but. Destiny is has delved into this issue for a few months while Dr. Finklestein devoted his adult life to study Gaza and the impacts of the occupation and blockade. Despite participating is several “debates”, Destiny still pushes the idea that Palestinians don’t want peace and that Israel isn’t directly targeting civilians and decimating the entire infrastructure of Gaza. Preposterous!
Prof Norm is an asset to humanity
He is an asset only to the M0h4mmedan, brainwashed part of humanity unfortunately.

Really wonderful man on earth.. Norman you are truly great acadimian
Love how he rarely says "Palestinians" and always refers to "The People in Gaza". It should go without saying they are people, but calling them Palestinians make them "other people", and Finkelstein maintains the humanity so powerfully.
God bless you Mr norman we all Palestinians love you & thank you for showing the world the truth , humanity owes you & history will have you on the good side forever ✌️🇵🇸
The battered wife analogy is genius
That analogy at the end left me stunned.
Agreed. A really good, concise analogy.
Yeah it was. Tadhg hickey does short visual analogys his Christmas vid is a cracker. He's on yt.
The analogy is genuis in so far as it's rhetorically effective. It doesn't fit though. The woman took revenge after silently enduring violence for twenty years; Palestinian militias, young adrenalin-fueled men, have been carrying out gruesome massacres and terrorist attacks for decades. Has israel commited crimes? Sure. No side in this conflict is innocent. Painting one side as the innocent victim is naive and shows that westerners do not understand that palestine is being used cold-heartedly as a tool for racial pan-Arab politics against perceived 'foreigners' - A lesson in Machiavellianism.

Oli please don’t ever turn into a James O’Brien. Don’t sell out. The whole Sangita departure has been a revelation how JOB has dealt with it.

Agreed. I always thought he was sometimes disingenuous or used his University debating skills on white van guys, working class guys and the like...BUT I'm certain if she'd been sacked due to Conservative pressure he'd be very different.

@@figp123 Children are not collaterall, they are an especific targeted, that is more than intention to exterminate a whole nation
@@figp123 or for the UN to do its job. but hey look who pays for the UN, we see that it is a pointless system.
Please try to watch the full debate Finkelstein is referencing here, it is 5 hours, but throughout that entire debate, Finkelstein constantly does those very things. Instead of showing his work, he just arrogantly announces he is correct or he's smart or someone else says he is correct. "The judge is an AMERICAN, an AMERICAN, and she agrees with me!"
He said that in the debate. Later on, that very same judge, comes out and says that people in media (including Finkelstein) have misinterpreted her ruling on plausibility. Look it up, many people will point out in the comments that it counters Finkel's exact claim during the debate with Benny Morris and Destiny.
All Finkelstein did during this debate were either these baseless (no work shown) appeals to authority, bragging about how smart he was, and unnecessarily insulting and using elitist arrogant statements to silence Destiny, essentially constantly using his status to excuse not having to engage with Destiny, outright ignoring Destiny's points, and then going back to trying to character assassinate his other opponent Benny Morris, instead of just having an honest good faith conversation about the topic person to person, he just tries to make him look bad for past statements. While it is Finkel's statements who historically have been proven wrong, like that with the judge.
A good teacher shows their work. Finkelstein refuses to take the time to prove his points, and instead just disparages his opponents with insults instead of engaging on the topic. He talks more about how many books he has read, than the content of those actual books. He'll talk about how much he's read the ICJ report, yet get things clearly wrong in the debate when Destiny reads directly from the report, challenges them to engage with the report directly, and then Finkel ignores and diverts again.
Not engaging with the people you are talking to is dehumanization, regardless of the elitist excuse he came up with, which is essentially him justifying that all of us are stupid and don't deserve to be spoken to or have this topic explained to them if they are questioning him at all.
He's that teacher we all had that refuses to take any challenges or ever be wrong.
Imagine instead of explaining your point of view, in front of a huge audience, just using appeals of authority instead and talking about how much smarter he is and that's why he doesn't need to even engage with any of Destiny's points.
He's like that one arrogant person we've all known, that one person who thinks they are smarter than everyone and they are above even talking to you. It's dehumanizing and elitist. it's something only someone who thinks they are inherently better would do. A normal person would defend their points in front of everyone, they would engage with the other side's points, regardless of their education status.
A normal person wouldn't just quote rank, expertise, diploma, and appeal to others authority. A normal academic, a normal scholar, a normal person, anyone normal, would just try to engage with the topics one by one and show your work (with sources) to prove your side correct.
Finkel is the worst defender of Palestine to ever exist, Palestinians deserve better defenders, not condescending pricks who think anyone who hasn't spent as much time on this topic as them is automatically wrong, and feels he is so smart and better than non-academia people that he can just ignore their points. He thinks he can rest entirely on his laurels, of which he has really none, and just not engage with anything. It's rude to everyone's time, but even worse, it's a tragedy for the Palestinian people. They are dying, they deserve someone who will actually put time into fighting every point, not lazily use his status as an excuse not to.
Liars?
Thank you professor Norman for your humanity

Excellent interview !
I have a great respect for Norman.
Only a handful of years ago a woman I knew in the Labour Party was dragged over the coals locally for simply quoting this man. He makes it sound so effortless but speaking out about these matters requires massive leaps of confidence and sacrifice of vanity/sometimes career. But as he says so brilliantly, none of that compares a jot to the real suffering. More inspiring than 50 motivation videos combined.

Thanks Norman. Thank you from here in Australia.
The way Norman describes the "rushing" in his low hushed voice describes the horror of being in that situation. As if he lived it with them. One of the few scholars on the topic that gets very emotional talking about Gaza. And I would say to Norman you are known not because of misfortune of the Palestinians but you are known because of your humanity and you have educated and inspired many young people to carry on the fight. Your mum would be proud and we are proud of what you are doing Mr Finklestein
A whole bunch of Love❤& Respects🙏for Prof. Norman Finkelstein for his decency and humanity which our leaders and many have lost!
Thank you so much from Gaza ❤
Good for u Norm
If Destiny wasn't a legitimate interlocutor, why agree to debate? He didn't answer any of Destiny's questions and the ludicrous fans that follow Norm refuse to see that a man who - in his own words - studied this his whole adult life - couldn't keep up with a streamer who researched this for about four months. His frankly bizarre 'victory' tour around sycophantic studios and channels who are also blindly repeating Hamas propaganda is something to behold. But hey, whatever helps you blame Jews for something, team PoliticsJoe.
When i see Norman, i will click and increase the playback speed. What an insightful activist.
This guy deserves the Nobel Peace prize ! He is making a huge difference in the spreading of TRUTH to promote PEACE !!!
I am sorry, is this the guy who tweeted “Russia had the historical right to invade Ukraine”? How can this person speak about morality at all?
rofl wow the Triggernometry guys chickened out 3 times
.
Are you even slightly surprised?
v disappointing as Kon Kissin is really doing the rounds atm on this issue. Picking on random weak targets at protests.
@@stevenponte6655 Konstantin Kisin never seen a right-wing/libertarian point of view that he has disagreed with. Just a propagandist & provocateur.
@@zetectic7968 yeah good point.
@@benisrood Not at all. The British guy is way out of his league when he comments on this conflict. He admitted he had no idea what the temple mount was and why people want to build a third temple on it. Thats petty elementary knowledge at this point.
Great analogy of the battered woman….always a pleasure to hear Professor Finkelstein
"I'm only a known quantity now, because people are dying in droves."
Man, that hits hard.
You are a towering personality dedicated to truth and courage. May you live long to see it through. Kudos and profound regards
Norman is my idol, as somebody who lived through the genocide in bosnia during the 90's as a 12 year old child the genocide that israel is comiting in palestine follows a blueprint i personaly recognize from my own experience. The retoric is similar. The lies are similar. The propaganda is similar and it makes me loose hope for humanity but norman makes me belive that there is hope for humankind and that there are good people in the world. I truly think he is a person that can honestly say he did his best to make a difference and do something about a great injustice. He should be comended for that and praised. He gives hope that there will be justice for the palestinian people and that there is a chance that things will get better. As i said he is my idol since israel attacked Gaza, i did not know of him before then but he has opened my eyes and given me personaly a greater understanding of the history of the conflict and all the injustices that have been inflicted on the palestinian people by israel with the support and approval of its western allies.
and so far, tho so short, one of the best & deeply touching interviews i've ever watched. Great & profound respect to you Norman Finkelstein. Thx a lot for the space & invocation, Joe!
Norman Finkelstein is my favourite media personality right now, his selfless work for others who do not have a voice .... for decades while being ignored, and still he is as passionate as ever. This man deserves a nobel prize
