Norman Finkelstein: Alan Dershowitz is "clueless," "disgusting," and "creepy"

[LePetitGrosse]

finklestein do know that if palestine is given a statehood, he as a jew would not be allowed to live in gaza or westbank right??

[KindleFlames]

@LePetitGrosse 1) Palestinian refugees have not been allowed to return to their homes in Israel, and 2) Norman Finkelstein is an American citizen and has repeatedly said that he is comfortable living in Brooklyn.

[LePetitGrosse]

@KindleFlames there are many arab muslims living inside Israel as Israel citizen, while abbas said no jews will allow to live in palestine if they are given the statehood. arab muslims can get government job and get into high position in Israel. they have their own political party. i wonder what he thinks about hamas charter to drive israel into the red sea.

[SrPonsonby]

@KindleFlames

Exactly, there's no point in what @LePetitGrosse is claiming.

[jimaldo64]

@LePetitGrosse

are you aware that Finklestein was a frequent visitor to Palestine until he was banned by the Israelis, for ten years, for security reasons? :-)

[LePetitGrosse]

@jimaldo64 for a jew such as himself to go to palestine, meeting with hamas, and said he agree with hamas fighting Israel, i understand the security concern.

[jimaldo64]

@LePetitGrosse "he agree with hamas fighting Israel, i understand the security concern." Exactly what kind of harm did Finkelsteins visits to Palestine cause? The people of Palestine are already agreed about fighting Israel, what could Finkelstein possibly have added to their motivation, or their cause? What threat did he pose? Doesn't a nation have the right to defend itself against a foreign invasion? You're..French..aren't you??? :-)

[SrPonsonby]

@LePetitGrosse

that's just utter nonsense.

[FoolishOrc]

@LePetitGrosse That's simply not true.

[superman19742007]

@imrich6 RIGHT! LOL

[alhabbo]

you don't argue with Amy! Damn right you don't!!

[alhabbo]

i love Amy, i love Norm. I hate Dershowitz

[JackGraham999]

Finkelstein is not only a truly great scholar - conscientious, forensic, thorough, scrupulous - he's also an extremely entertaining, amusing speaker. I could listen to him all day, especially if he's discussing that revolting specimen Dershowitz. Where did this clip come from? Is the whole thing available somewhere?

[SrPonsonby]

@JackGraham999

100% agree with your statement, Jack! I couldn't have said this better myself!.

[frikandellino]

Hey KindleFlames, thx for giving me a good laugh by denoting Dushowitz as - I may cite - a "popular fiction writer". That is just brilliant !!!

[PepJuice]

correction the french do not call Bernard Henry Levy a philosopher. We call him a clown. :-)

[anonymity11]

“It’s an interesting insight because it actually makes you very despairing of human culture, that there’s such a complete and total contempt for the most basic and elementary principles of truth and it’s a kind of ingroup thing, they all know that each of them is lying and nobody cares. For those of you who have not yet been initiated into those ways, it’s a very (), sleazy, greasy experience”

Yes, from the point of view of a radical, we have to suffer as nobody cares about honesty or truth.

[znikacz]

@anonymity11 Searching for the truth means being radical?

[anonymity11]

@znikacz Well not searching but coming into public with it. Look at Chomsky's "the fate of an honest intellectual". The world is constructed on so much deceit and lies and people are so apathetic about this fact that when someone steps forward and tries to challenge this wrong, he will be opressed and becuase he is so alone he will seem radical. Although you're right, how's being honest radical? In a world of lies, where what's important is careers and interests, it's radical relatively speaking

[morebucks23]

To clarify do people think he refers to Bernard Henri Levy when he says BHL............(inaudible) Levy..?

[KindleFlames]

@morebucks23 He says Bernard Henri Levy quite clearly...are you saying he was referring to someone else?

[abe0101]

My God I love Norman Finkelstein...the guy says it like it is and is unapologetic about his sentiments concerning creepy cold hearted people like dershaloser!

[shoetique]

Finkelstien a Depressed soul

[TheLanguage7arah]

@shoetique he's not alone

[pwreric]

@shoetique U would be too if the ADL got you fired from Duke and tries to ruin your life for telling the truth

[diceyLee]

LMAO, finkelstein is fuckin hilarious
