INTERVIEW: Norman Finkelstein | The sickness of capitalism, Israel's war in Gaza & German complicity
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 มิ.ย. 2024
- The American political scientist Norman Finkelstein is one of the world’s leading scholars of the Israel-Palestine conflict. His parents survived the Holocaust. His father in Auschwitz and his mother in the Warsaw Ghetto. In 2000 Finkelstein wrote the famous book "The Holocaust Industry". It sheds light on how the memory of the Holocaust is used to make money, gain political advantage and as a shield to deflect criticism or scrutiny. The Israeli government barred him from entry to the country for ten years in 2008. He was denied tenure at DePaul University in Chicago in 2007.
Der amerikanische Politikwissenschaftler Norman Finkelstein ist einer der weltweit führenden Forscher des israelisch-palästinensischen Konflikts. Seine Eltern überlebten den Holocaust. Sein Vater in Auschwitz und seine Mutter im Warschauer Ghetto. Im Jahr 2000 schrieb Finkelstein das berühmte Buch „Die Holocaust-Industrie“. Es beleuchtet, wie die Erinnerung an den Holocaust genutzt wird, um Geld zu verdienen, politische Vorteile zu erlangen und als Schild, um Kritik oder Hinterfragung abzuwehren. Die israelische Regierung verhängte gegen ihn ein Einreiseverbot im Jahr 2008 für zehn Jahre. Ihm wurde die Lehrbefugnis an der DePaul University in Chicago 2007 verweigert.

Der Finkelstein is gut xD der denkt wie ich. Allein die von der Leyen xD dieses Stück
Sizlere teşekkür ederiz Yahudileri karşımıza almak hiç kolay değildir cesaret ve Onur gerektirir
Es ist leider so, dass wenn ich auf TH-cam nach diesem Video suche, und zwar unter den Stichworten Interview und Finkelstein, dass euer Video überhaupt nicht angezeigt wird! Da er sagt, dass es womöglich sein letztes Video ist, wäre es toll, wenn es mehr Verbreitung findet! Ich habe keine Ahnung, wie man das anstellen kann, aber ich bin sicher, da gibt es Wege... vielleicht kann es jemand kommentieren!? Jedenfalls gehört dem mehr Achtung geschenkt, aus meiner Sicht ❤
I pray, with all my heart, that this is NOT Dr.Finkelstein’s last interview. It is a great privilege that this beautiful man is alive in my lifetime. It would be such an honor to meet him, to shake his hand and to look into his eyes. THANK YOU for this interview💟
He has been working very hard lately. Speaking out against the crimes taking place in Gaza and creating awareness.
Amen
Well said!
❤❤❤
Why you are saying so . Is he sick and I don’t know . ? His words and books will stay alive for the next generations . He is a legion of all time . Free Palestine ❤
Job or no Job, Norman Finkelstein does more for the human society than I am, any President, religious whatever, philanthropist more than any Person I do. He teaches you how not to be greedy, he gives you to be more humane than a Pope or someone similar ever will be. He has my fullest respect.
❤️🙏💯👍🤘👋👌 ...You NAILED it Sister! Greetings from Austria
We love you Norman❤
What did he achieve to back your claim?
Really Finkelstein divids and offers literally no solution, he is driven by hate and won't forgive or forget anything.
His own words... Btw
working everyday on what you believe in isn't the same as having a job.
one is for money the other is for principal, both people can work extremely hard and likely more so for the one not taking a salary or paycheck...
he is the person who figuratively vaccine me against antisemitism. i consider him my teacher. it is so painful to watch the things happening in Palestine. And it is easy to conflate zionism with judaism if you have not educated yourself, if you dont know any people like finkelstain.
Man what an interview. As an young woman trying to navigate the world, Dr. Finkelstein is someone I will look upto. He is full of wisdom, humility, and patience and immensely intelligent. You sir are a blessing to me and to all of us who are striving for Justice. Thank you Liebe Herr Chaudhary for this amazing interview. I’ve seen so many of Dr. Finkelsteins interviews but this one feels very raw and intimate and touching. Almost to tears. More blessings to Dr.Finkelstein and more power to you dear Sir. LG from this shame of an authoritarian and repressive country, Deutschland. Suffocating to live here as a person who wants to speak against the genocide.
He has lived a life most of us dream of. A man with honour, dignity; a man who fought for truth and justice, against oppression and war.
Please wake up Germany 🇩🇪… and thank you Professor Finkelstein- you have no idea how you have touched and influenced millions of us. You are an inspiration 🙏
Indeed!!
This was a superb conversation. It is always an honour to hear Dr Finkelstein speak. What a truly humble, intelligent, and wise soul he is. May Allah grant him peace and shower him with abundant blessings for his lifetime dedication and commitment to truth and justice.
Amiin Ya Rabb!
He is ignorant about Ukrainian and russian history. Russia killed millions of Ukrainians, then they made a pact with the nazis to exterminate Poland and take over Europe, then when the nazis turned on the Soviet Union, they killed millions of Ukrainians
MAY HE GUIDE HIM FIRST AND FOREMOST!
Watch the Debate between finkelweird and destiny(not a fon of him) finkelweird got destroyed 😂he had no counter arguments poor old man
This is the guy you are rooting for 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
(41:25 - 42:15) he argues Germany still to be authoritarain and without a deeply rooted democratic culture because of "how easy" it is for them to "suppress all of the dissent".
(45:15 - 46:28) he calls Germany's support of Ukraine "despicable" and says he will spit in Scholz's face if he sees him. Germany owes Russia (and of course only Russia, not Ukraine, Poland, Belarus, the Baltics,..) an eternal dept which appearantly means Russia has the right to invade
Norman is the child of Holocaust survivors. His philosophy of life can partly be derived from the imprint he got from his parents and their experiences. Gladly he hasn’t given up on all Germans. I totally share his contempt for all contemporary German politicians!
He sees how Germany is conducting itself against the Russians of today and how it stands by a NAZI nation Ukraine --> also how it stands by another Fascist state Israel !
*Dr Finkelstein is 1000% correct!
Keep speaking the truth to power, Professor Finkelstein. You are a wonderful human being.
Ich verneige mich vor Norman Finkelstein. Danke! ♥️🙏🏽
After WW2, the Allies should have carved out a piece of Germany for the Jews to create their own country. At least they would be safe and sound there. No wars or suicide bombings.
His last interview before he dies? I hope he's not ill. Norman Finkelstein is a great man, a great human. His love for humanity shines. This world needs more humans like Norman.
My heart sank after hearing that statement. Dr. Finkelstein has truly been a light in a time of great darkness. I’ve found so much solace in his commitment to truth and compassion for others.
his heart is completely breaking for Palestine
@1CubbieKat1 i think finkelstein meant that the ending makes it seem like this was his last interview. it refers to the interviewer closing with "i think you lived a very meaningful live"
I think he is feeling very very tired.
@@definitionsarbeit I hope you're correct.
I will never forget about you Prof Finkelstein!! You're a great man with a heart of gold, you have touch so many people with your integrity and intelligence!! please live a long long life!!!
@aaronwu4280 what a beautiful post , bless Dr Finkelstein & bless you too, long life to the both of you 🌸🌸
Professor Finklestein, your life decisions have been vindicated by the good you have done for the Palestinians you have spoken for and all of us who you have educated. All decent humans the world over honour you for your deep compassion and incredible work. Thank you, you are an inspiration and make me believe in the goodness of humanity.
Oh Prof Norman Finkelstein, may God grant you more years to witness the positive progress of your labour. Thank you for Relentlessly fighting for Truth. I was telling my mother the other week that if i was white, i was going to name my first born child Norman. I truly admire & respect Norman Finkelstein in ways i cannot describe. This man is a Nobel Price laureate in my eyes & heart. Long Live Prof Norman Finkelstein. Long Live.
What a beautiful blessing. Indeed may he live long to see the fruits of his labors which is to see the world change & humans get free from other human's domination & exploitation.
@@user-vo5qo3rn3g What beautiful words. I completely agree. He is a Nobel Prize Laureate.
Ich fasse es nicht.Norman Finkelstein. Ich habe so viel Respekt für diesen Mann.
Danke.
Ich auch ❤
@@MaryLou5239 als Deutscher? Nachdem was er gesagt hat?
@@frankschaeffer8153 Did he offend your honor?
He is the only person whose cynicism I like. I love his passive aggressive energy, which comes from a deep contempt for injustice. When he talked about the german tanks in Ukraine and how he hopes they will burn, I heard such enormous contempt for the Nazis that explains why he is who he is. He is a child of Auschwitz survivors who refuses to change from victim to perpetrator. He deserves great respect for that. Although he has his own views, he allows every person to have their own view of life. He is the calmest choleric and the most tolerant intolerant. Just a cool guy.
Do you have blue eyes? And your hair? Black and curly?
Listen to Dr Finkelstein describe his parents and understand that it was not the 'Nazis' they blamed for their misfortunes but the Germans.
Auschwitz and Majdanek
@@jikkh2x
What about you, do you have a brain?
@ HansAlbers-pc2ld
He has the CORRECT Views:
** The German regime is STILL A NAZI REGIME---> it supports the NAZIS OF UKRAINE as well as FASCIST ISRAEL! No one can deny these FACTS!
Es ist eine Sache, einen hochkarätigen Interviewpartner zu bekommen. Aber ihm durch eine unfassbar gute Gesprächsführung ein gutes Podium zu ermöglichen und sich selbst an den richtigen Stellen zurückzuhalten ..... gebührt allerhöchste Anerkennung ! Sehr gut gemacht, liebe Grenzgänger !
Puhhh Finkelstein ist vieles aber vorallem ein Ideologe.
Not cool
Dann kriech ihm doch gleich hinten rein, oder verstehe ich da etwas miss?!
@@leonkowalski5479 Oh! Wirklich ? Welch konstruktive Kritik .....
@@leonkowalski5479oh no not an ideologue for truth and justice
Thank you for this tremendous interview. The pace was relaxed and your questions allowed more personal reflection than interviewers usually afford the good professor. Finkelstein is a treasure, how fortunate we are to have him in these dark days.
❤💯
Ich finde es sehr angenehm, wenn ein Journalist und sich nicht in den Vordergrund spielt, sondern sein Gegenüber reden lässt. Danke dafür! Es ist eine Bereicherung, Norman Finkelstein zuzuhören. Erstklassiges Interview!
Yes 👍👍👍
Dear Mr. Finkelstein, I love the way you speak, think and feel!
I wish you a lot of strength so you can go on and spread your word❤
Thank you for what you did for Palestine!
I am German and I can understand the disgust you feel for our politicians!
It’s such a shame!
But as everywhere, not all people are the same!
Professor Finkelstein is a wonderful human being and a great scholar. I admire him immensely for his commitment to the TRUTH ❤
Norman’s quest for truthfulness is noticeable in the way he conducts himself. What a phenomenal human being.
No words are enough to convey my Love, Respect and Gratitude to Professor Norman Finkelstein a True Legend who will never know the extent or the ripple effects of his work, his passion and his sacrifices on Millions around the world and the Millions of Palestinian People for generations.
So much Respect for Norman.....I love his knowledge, I love his honesty, I love his non greed in this world.
Norman is one of the finest intellectual of our time. He is a Rockstar and a Jedi Master! May the Force always be with him!
Well written ! 👏👏
Ein wahrer Wissenschaftler, der die richtigen Fragen stellt, um die Wahrheit zu finden, so unbequem sie auch sein mag. Er hat sich nie für Ruhm, Macht oder Geld verkauft. Ich bin mir sicher, dass es sehr oft die Möglichkeit dafür gegeben hat. Menschen wie Finkelstein erlangen leider die Aufmerksamkeit und Wertschätzung erst, wenn sie von uns gegangen sind.
Durch Professor Finkelstein habe ich gelernt, dass die Heftigkeit einer Gegenreaktion ein ziemlich gutes Gefühl für die Wahrhaftigkeit der eigenen Position vermitteln kann. Sein Buch 'Die Holocaust-Industrie' aus dem Jahr 2000 war ein echter Stich ins Wespennest.
Krass, dass ihr ihn vor die Kamera bekommen habt. Mega Respekt, vielen Dank dafür. Das Interview ist episch, ohne Scheiß.
meines Wissens das erste Interview mit ihm für einen deutschen Meinungsumschlagplatz.
falls es wirklich sein allerletztes sein sollte, wäre es dann wohl sein einziges nach 10/7, direkt der öffentlichen Wahrnehmung Germanys gewidmet.
da stellt sich mir die Frage, wie aufwendig die Überredungskünste des GG-Studios gewesen sind. wie schwierig es war, ihn für ein Gespräch dieses Kalibers zu gewinnen.
This man is a global treasure 🙏
The last question made me cry.
I am not palestinian but I will remember Prof. Finklestine forever very fondly, as a very compassionate, resilient soul. I would pray for him that God grants him heaven despite his non-belief in him. I would wish that good deeds and such sweet soft soul will not go unrecognized.
13:41 "My brothers are already retired, and I'm still looking for my first job." Considering what Finkelstein has done, only a genius would say that.
Sehr mutig Norman Finkelstein zu interviewen !
Von der Leyen wird das nicht mögen 😂
Uschi stinkt
Warum mutig? Nur weil deine Regierung keine freie Meinungsäußerung mehr zulässt? Das ist ja wohl ein Witz oder?
@@Cecile-p1d in einigen Fällen wurden Organisationen die sich noch milderer geäußert haben sogar die Bankkonten gesperrt bzw öffentliche Gelder.
@@Cecile-p1d Genau, deshalb!
I've been following Norman's work for 16 years (including reading some of his books which have been phenomenal) and his intellectual vigour and moral principles have left an indelible impression on my life. This was such an insightful and inspiring interview of one of the most incredible truth tellers and justice seekers of our time. There's so much to absorb and learn from him and I am glad the interviewer allowed Norman to speak without interruptions. I hope he gets to see the day that Palestine is free and Palestinians receive the justice they deserve. Thank you for this deep and insightful conversation.
what a humble and kind person. Wish we had every person like him. thanks to anchor for the interview
This man has been so criticized over the years, especially in the US, in academic or media circles. And there he is now, being listened to like never before. Too bad people had to wait for the world to prove him right in order to listen to him.
Einer der größten Denker dieser Zeit!
Mal wieder ein Herausragendes Interview...regt zum Nachdenken an. Ich habe in den letzten Monaten so viel von Ihm gesehen( wirklich jedes Interview bei Piers Morgen zur aktuellen Lage), sowie auch ältere Sachen. Ich freue mich, Ihn jetzt von seiner Privaten und Philosophischen Seite gehört zu haben.... Ich hoffe er bleibt uns noch lange erhalten.
Thanks to both of you. Finkelstein ist a treasure.
Super cooles Interview und auch was für eine Ehre und traumhafte Gelegenheit sicherlich für Dich als Journalist mit Norman Finkelstein 👍❤️🤗
💯
He is truly a hero for everyone who long for freedom of the Palestinian people..he sacrificed so much for loosing a lot of jobs or got cancelled because for speaking the truth…he is truly a gem for the palestian people…thank you for what you have done for us…
Im türkischen sagt man " Ein Freund spricht bitter". Will heißen, die Wahrheit kann schmerzhaft sein. Aber es ist die Wahrheit und ein wahrer Freund.
Wie heißt der Spruch auf Türkisch ?
@@aamaroaamar7027 'Dost acı söyler.'
@@arazaltaybitter wäre auf türkisch "ekşi". Hingegen bedeutet "acı" scharf. Da Gesprochenes durch den Mund vermittelt wird, soll "acı" auf den Schmerz, den man z.B. bei scharfem Essen versprürt und ebenfalls durch den Mund auslebt, anspielen. Der Geschmack der Worte des Gegenübers ist sozusagen scharf, weil sie im Zusammenhang und als Ganzes weh tun.
@@OG-ge8nu ich glaube, daß "bitter" dennoch gut passt. Denn mit dem Wort "bitter" ist gleichzeitig "negative Erfahrung" gemeint. "schmerzlich; als verletzend, kränkend empfunden" :)
True true
Dr Finkelstein, your heart ❤️ is in the right place. 👍🏻🙏🏻
Ihr seid super Leute 👊
Die ersten drei Minuten von dem Interview und ich bin total gefesselt. Was für ein unglaublich interessanter und inspirierender Mann, der Herr Finkelstein! Danke für deine großartige Arbeit, Tahir!
Und hat nen genialen Humor. Wenn ich nur an das "Battle" mit Destiny denke 😂
Legendääääääääre, dieser Mann verdient es in den Obersten Reihen, wie Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, Mohammed Ali, Malcolm X und viele weitere Legenden.
Wahrscheinlich hat er auch , leider, das Selbe Schicksaal wie die oben genannten, das viele erst wissen wer "er ist/war" wenn er "mal nicht mehr ist". Ich bin aber trotzdem immer wieder fasziniert wie er sein Leben so gelebt hat, dass er es geschafft hat (ich nehme an) ein "Bisschen Geld" zu haben um den Kühlschrank vollzubekommen und so die wichtigsten Dinge im eigenen Leben zu regeln. Klar, ab einem gewissen Zeitpunkt war es wahrscheinlich seine (Mit-)Arbeit an Büchern, aber selbst so etwas verhilft einem ja nicht zu "direktem Einkommen"...
Und das er nicht komplett "durchgedreht" und "mental ungesund" ist, sich die ganze Zeit mit der "Mist-Seite" der meisten westlichen Länder zu befassen. Wie machen die Professoren das bloß?
Jedes Mal, wenn ich Norman Flankestein höre, steigt sein Respekt in meinem Herzen.
This man is a big exemple of how humans should be❤ We need people like him .Keep on righting for humanity Dr Finkelstein. Thank you
How can a person be as great as Dr Norman and be as humble as him at the same time ? ❤️
Ich verehrte Norman Finkelstein von jeher, wie denn auch nicht. Aber zum ersten Mal habe ich einen Einblick in das Leben dieses intelektuellen Menschen gekriegt. Der Fleiß und die Aufopferung, die dahinter steckt. Und mein Respekt hat sich verzehnfacht. Vielen Dank ❤❤❤
fantastisches Gespräch
Norman actually goes one up on the Golden Rule with :Treat others...as if there but the grace of God go I", in the beautiful story of his mother in the final minutes. He has truly lived up to the example of his highly esteemed predecessors. Thank you, Norman!
I am blessed to have lived at the same time with Dr. Norman Finkelstein. The world is a better place to have him in it.
Vielen lieben Dank Herr Finkelstein 🕊️🙏!
Ich verneige mein Haupt in Dankbarkeit für dieses Gespräch und die daraus resultierende Hochachtung, auch für derer, die in der Hoffnung für das Wohl der Menschen, für derer empathische Mitmenschlichkeit und sich für Freiheit ,Frieden und Gerechtigkeit einsetzten und setzen 🕊️.
Die jetzige Zeit braucht wieder mehr von diesen Menschen, die geraden Hauptes sich für Menschenwürde und derer Rechte auf Unversehrtheit und deren Menschenrechte einsetzen 🕯️ 🙏 🕯️.
⏱️⌛
I'm just at 0:45 and I already love this man who is speaking the blunt truth without sugarcoating. I will definitely''' watch the entire video 'til the very end.
A brilliant, caring and honorable man, whom I respect immensely. I had the honor of meeting him recently at a talk he gave in DC. He’s the light of hope for the generations to come. A true inspiration.
Norman Finkelstein is one of few good people with honesty and integrity in the Western world
His truthfulness and refusal to fall into any propaganda has caused him to be disliked by some many, I love this man for his principles and good character. His self awareness and analysis of his ownership
I don't have time at the moment to watch this whole presentation but I did wish to say that the more I am discovering about Dr. Finkelstein these last few months, the more firm my conviction becomes that he is very good and honest person.
Make sure you watch it. One of the best conversations!
Prof. Finkelstein. How I would love to see you. Shake your hand and give you a respectful embrace. Right now I am going through a difficult situation. So, I opened my phone and saw your interview.
Your humanity and wise remarks touched me. It will not change my situation but it will give me strength to bear it with humanity and dignity. That is an enormous gift.
Thank you for everything. There, for the grace of God go I.
It will also change your situation. Nothing is impossible unless they make you believe it is so. Freeing yourself is a process and impossible is a taught place & space.
I remember a famous Buddhist monk -- Alan Wallace -- saying that we are al going through a difficult situation but most of us are sleep walking and don´t realize it! All to say, don´t feel alone! May your days brighten soon.
Norman Finklestein is an outstanding, compassionate, honest, and brave human being. He has given tremendously to humanity. Thank you for this interview.
truly the best interview with Finkelstein I've ever seen, he gave his all. I hope what he said when the camera stopped rolling isn't true, but either way I want to thank him for being such an inspiring man.
This is the best interview of Dr. Finkelstein that I've seen so far. Wonderful job by the team. ❤
Was für ein entspanntes Interview - mehr auf internationaler Ebene mehr davon❤️👍
It's always a pleasure to listen to Dr. Finkelstein. He is a wise man.
Wow sehr beeindruckend ihn im Interview zu haben👏
NORMAN EHRENMANN!
Ich habe erst drei Minuten Eures Interviews gesehen und doch fasziniert mich wieder diese Unaufgeregtheit und Ruhe, in der Ihr Eure Arbeit uns Zuschauern und Zuhörern präsentiert. Das macht es für mich jedes Mal leicht, auch die langen und seeeehr informationsgespickten Sendungen entspannt aufzunehmen. Danke für Eure Professionalität und das gewisse Etwas an Fingerspitzengefühl.
This man taught me the truth about Palestine and Israel. My eyes were opened to the truth which gave me opportunity to choose my eternal salvation. For this treasure I am eternally grateful for you sir! Thank you!
And you shall know the truth and the truth will set you free!!
Ein sehr wertvolles Interview, fühle mich glücklich das ich Euch vor kurzem gefunden habe! ❤
Finkelstein has all the qualities that a moslim supposed to have, but often times have not. I love him!
He has the qualities that any Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist is supposed to have: even a Jew. Even an atheist.
I agree with you ❤
Top Arbeit
Arbeit macht frei
He is an amazing intellectual and I don’t get enough of his interviews. He should have a 24/7 live show.
Du hast Norman Finkelstein interviewt?! Wahnsinn! ❤
his heart is completely breaking for Palestine, he came out fighting these past seven months, after battling to speak the truth for 40 years
same thing is happening to me, i also lost everything i worked hard for for 40 years
Be strong you're stand for what's right ! I send you my warmest thoughts!
I wish I could give my years to Mr Finkelstein, he enlightens so many people with modesty, true values and knowledge, but most importantly his empathy, sacrifice and fierce fight for the most depraved will echo for centuries to come! Such intelect, moral values and dedication are inspirational❤
I wish I met this great human giant and were his neighbor. I would cook him food, help him with housekeeping, give him rides when he needs some, share my small earnings with him. Such a shame that we live in the wealthiest nation in the world, yet must endure lack of basic needs including intangible elements of happiness like having a job that fulfills self-actualization. Homelessness in America defeats any notion of modern civilization we may claim. There is absolutely no excuse for it when we have infinite number of shipping containers that could be converted into shelter homes with basic necessities at some modest cost. We throw away so much food that is sufficient to feed the hungry people on this planet. This interview of Dr. Finkelstein is the most human and heart capturing of any interview I have seen before. I wish him health, happiness, fulfillment and long life. We need this great man by all means to give us doses of unwavering courage and devotion to truth and Justice. He will be remembered as the Socrates of our modern history without wishing upon him the same end! Salutes!
Vielen Dank für dies außergewöhnlich gute Interview. Es ermöglichte Norman sich bestens verständlich zu machen. Eine faszinierende Persönlichkeit. Ein Geschenk für viele die er immer wieder überrascht hat mit seinen klaren Statements zu wichtigen gesellschaftspolitischen Themen.
Nicht zu vergessen die gute Gesprächsführung des Interviewers: meine Hochachtung dafür!
Норман Филькенштейн- величайший гуманист современности!!!❤❤❤
Ich bin so dankbar dass ihr diesen großartigen Menschen interviewen konntet!
Er war nie ein Angestellter.
Er war/ist vom Leben angestellt. Einfach super. Danke für ihr Wirken.
You will never know how impactful your words are. May we all be employed by life....
Not man-made atrophying structures like job & infrastructure. Man's creations that go to chaos, disorder whereas nature naturally goes into effortless order like a tree growing from a seed...our job is to help nature not dominate it.
Sein letztes Interview... das ist sehr schade 😢 Er ist ein wahrer und mutiger Mensch. Sowas gibt es selten. Ich wünsche Ihm von Herzen nur das Beste für seinen Ruhestand! Auch wenn es weh tut, wie er über uns Deutsche denkt, kann ich es aus seiner Position nachvollziehen und mit vielem hat er leider recht. Die Deutschen scheinen nicht sehr an der Demokratie zu hängen, wenn sie so leicht ihre Meinungsfreiheit und das Recht auf Demonstration wegschmeißen! Wir sollten wissen, dass das gefährlich ist und stärker sein!
Dann frage ich Sie, wo in der Welt sieht es besser aus?
Wo gibt es Demokratie und nicht nur Fassadendemokratie?
In jedem Land dieser Erde herrscht eine kleine Clique, beutet die Mehrheit aus, führt Krieg nach Gutdünken und unterdrückt/manipuliert die Mehrheit!
Sicherlich, es gibt marginale Nuancen.
Die Deutschen müssen erwachsen werden. Das schließt eine gewisse Selbstironie mit ein. Und für sein Eigeninteresse einstehen. Da das nicht erkennbar ist werden wir so verachtet. Wobei sich die anderen europäischen Länder auch nicht gerade als unabhängig und vernünftig zeigen. Nur Deutschland ist der Heuchelei Weltmeister und deswegen so exponiert
…dann wacht doch endlich auf! Es ist noch Zeit, diesen Wahnsinn in Gaza zu beenden. Tut was!!
Respekt, was für ein tolles Interview. Fesselnd von der ersten Minute an. ❤
Oh I love you Professor Finklestein. You changed my life when you came to UC Davis in 2008. You completely changed my views of everything and struck a very deep chord in my heart, so that not only my views changed, but my values. All of this in the space of an hour. I've been walking the path ever since.
That's beautiful and encouraging to hear that humans can be transformed so in an hour. There is much hope for humanity.
Thank you for sharing that is great to know he impacted you in such a short time. Hence, why he was made hard to reach & isolated by denying him jobs coz they know people are transformed by good.
Wow. That show what an amazing teacher he is
Er berührt mich einfach so sehr, ein sehr sehr bewegendes Gespräch 💔😭🙏❤️
Professor Dr. Norman Finkelstein, ein toller Mensch und ein super interessantes Interview.
The intensity in his voice when talking about what Germany did to the Soviets is so powerful
I LOVE Norman FINKELSTEIN. When i listen to him, i feel comfortable because I see
a totally loving human being. He speaks TRUTH to power and let the chips fall where they may.
His calculated speech ; choice of words leave me ALWAYS wanting. CANNOT get enough of THIS precious man ,his storehouse of knowledge & wisdom. And he and i have very similar lifestyles
and mindsets.
And yes, I think he 's SUCH a handsome man.
Thank you for this wonderful interview with the amazing good man Norman Finkelstein. He is most intelligent and morally intact. I wish there were more people like him.
Da habt ihr einen ziemlichen Giganten an Land gezogen.
I love hearing Mr.Finkelstein' s speech, he is very articulate and knowledgable. He, Noam Chomsky and several jewish non-zionists public figures are my favorite
I’ve been listening to and learning from Dr. Finkelstein for many years. He is such a brilliant, caring, honourable, ethical, and honest person. This is one of my favourite interviews! I related so deeply to what he said and was brought to tears during some parts of it. I could sense the melancholia tinged within his observations, and quite frankly, I think it’s difficult to live in this world today without feeling saddened very often. Thank you for keeping it real, Professor (as always) 💜 I feel less alone listening to you.
Über X schrieb ich mit ihm vor einigen Monaten. Zu dem Zeitpunkt wusste ich nichts über seine Stellung. Als ich es erfuhr, dachte ich mir „was für ein Mensch der sich Zeit nimmt obwohl er doch überall benötigt wird“. Selten so eine Bescheidenheit gesehen und Selbstlosigkeit.
I salute you Norman Finkelstein!
Dieses Gespräch mit diesem außergewöhnlichen Mann hat alles - Erkenntnis, Lachen und auch Weinen.
Welch wohltuende Gedanken und Worte.
Wundervoll zu hören, dass ein Mensch in der aktuellen Zeit sich so vehement gegen Macht, Luxus und falsche Sicherheit ausspricht.
Ich werde seine Bücher lesen.
DANKE
Norm may not think his life is particularly consequential but he’s a rock star humanitarian and righteous champion for the oppressed to millions of us. He’s inspiring! Thank you for this interview.
This man is an intellectual giant and a hero
Norman Finkelstein is a true hero. He will always be a role model and inspiration for me.
GOD BLESS YOU MR. FINKLESTEIN from Dana Ron in Australia.
Your parents would have been very proud of their son who is a remarkable human being and a great scholar. You are a shining example to the young generation of today & you posses the exact human and humane qualities that I hope my History teacher son has.
THERE WILL BE A RECOGNISED PALESTINIAN STATE in our lifetime .. it is coming soon and no one can derail this process now.
✌️🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
I admire this great man Prof Norman Finkelstein.. I cannot see an interview with him but wanting to see and listen to him. He is a man of high values with humane conscience… a man of truth and integrity with courage to face consequences. God bless you Norman Finkelstein your knowledge and ideas will survive and be considered by many and will inspire others .. far away from you in terms of you place and your time.
the problem is people like Mr Finkelstein are not politician, we need people like him, I am pretty sure he would have kept to his values
There shouln't be a moral dilema for the Germans if the lesson learned had been "humanity"
