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

Dr. Norman Finkelstein praises French comedian Bernard-Henri Lévy for being an "interesting personality" and a "buffoonish character" and also lauds popular fiction writer Alan Dershowitz for his "remarkable ability" to "believe every word and know every word is a lie."

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.

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?

LMAO, finkelstein is fuckin hilarious

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?

@JackGraham999

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

[SrPonsonby]

@LePetitGrosse

that's just utter nonsense.

[SrPonsonby]

@KindleFlames

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

[FoolishOrc]

@LePetitGrosse That's simply not true.

@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??? :-)

[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

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

@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.
