Finkelstein is doing a great thing for humanity. Controversial my ass! He's brave to stand up for human rights and reveal the wrong doings of a bully nation. It's about time he gets to speak to the UN. One can only hope this can help open people's eyes to the terrorizing being committed by Isreal.

Unlike most US politicians and tenured faculty Finkelstein has got nads and is not afraid to tell it like it is on the Israeli government/US gov't nexus and policies, stripped of media propaganda.

sound is terrible ! 

[TodayFreedom]

The most courageous Jew on earth today. And a man with absolutely unshakable moral integrity. A man whose parents were in Auschwitz and who has chosen to see that murder is murder no matter who is doing it. You rock, Dr Norman!

I like Norman "Nads" Finkelstein - he's relentless but sound.

The UN logo has as many sections as there are degrees in Masonry. Though there are different rites. The UN is Masonic. The square and compass is a Masonic symbol combination that forms the star "of David." There is a pyramid in the Zionist Supreme Court. The Knights Templars long ago returned to Jerusalem. They control it now.

The UN "Security Council" is made up of 15 nations. 10 are rotated among qualify UN member states. China, the US, Russia, England, & France are PARMANENT. In any serious "UN Security Council" resolution, there are always TWO DIFFERENT LEVELS of voting: the one is the full 15 "Security Council" voting; the second is the FIVE PERMANENT. As I said, in theory AND in practice, you can have 14 of the 15 SC voting "Yes" to a resolution, & ONE of the "big five" saying "NO" to it, and it goes nowhere.

@HenryDavidT I agree, with you, if there is a census between the top 10 nations then yeah it's fair, but if a single prickhead can veto the whole thing, it's pretty much a load of bull, which is blocking democracy. Btw did you know that there have been times at which the US has veto the 10 member counsel, 9-1!!! I mean that's insane, EVERYBODY but the US agreed the treaty or resolution, w/e, but the US blocks it! But anyone who has that power would what's in it's national interest.

[HenryDavidT]

NO RESOLUTION against Israel can be passed. No resolution against China for invading Tibet can be passed. ETC. Point is, even if 99% of the world's countries wanted a certain resolution passed --- say, we have all the votes of the 10 rotating countries in the SC & 4 out of the "Big Five" --- in both theory & practice, ONE of the "Big 5" can still veto it, if itself or one of its "good friends" is targeted in the resolution. The UN is a Mafia-styled institution set up & dominated by the West.

[HenryDavidT]

@MsHShuaib Whether it's the Maldives or India, my point is, it doesn't really matter. It only matters what 5 permanent -- USA, China, Russia, England, and France -- say. Actually, they can all say "yes" or just ONE of them saying "no" and NO (serious) RESOLUTION can be passed. They can be talked into staying silent, like this recent vote to allow NATO to bomb Libya (Russia & China staying quiet). The "Security Council" and the UN General Assembly are just rubber stamps for the Big Five.
