Imagine this is 5 years ago and the same thing is happening and people really got a short memory
-
Israel calls this genocidal behavior, “Mowing the Grass”. What could be more despicable?
-
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!
-
And here we are 5 years later, and it is apparently worse.
-
Unbelievable, I had to do a double take. This interview took place 5 years ago!!!! Thank you do much for posting this
-
I simply adore Norman Finkelstein for his brilliance, his sense of justice, his meticulous scholarship, and his charming delivery so evident in this interview.
-
His voice, his face, his whole way is music to my ears!!!! I truly appreciate this man

Do you remember Rachel corrie ? It's time to bring this crime back to light.
-
You'll never see this man on the mainstream media.
-
A man of honor and integrity. Standing on the side of justice, even if this means isolation from your own community. All my love and respect to him. He will go down in history as one of the most righteous men of his time. ✊🏽👏🏼
-
Norman is absolutely outstanding....what an education
-
I can't believe that this interview was 5 years ago. The Palestinians suffered for 75 years.
-
5 years since this video. It has not sunk in for me. It echoes what is currently happening.
-
This video has aged so well. Today we see this and understand what’s happening is not new.
-
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
-
Dr. Finkelstein is extremely knowledgeable and great presenter of facts and events in the Israeli Palestinian conflict. Thank you Amy for your wonderful interviews .
-
This guy is honest. How refreshing!
-
keep living man till 300, a wonderful man fighting for truth
-
Impressive to watch this very essential interview on 05/24/2024... when we were unable to stop the massacre of the Palestinian people. Professor Norman Finkelstein, a beacon for us, on behalf of these people in total and unbelievable suffering. Stay strong, Dr. NF! Thank you, DN!

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.
