I watch every single Norman Finkelstein interview, none of the interviews are boring.
Norman is the best.
He speaks slowly cuz he put value in his words and thats good for listeners
@@az-rule84 I listen on 2x speed
good idea.. i often fall asleep listen to him after sometime hahaha
He makes it sound important by saying it like their his dying words.
es un gran ser humano que apesar de las atrocidades su opinion es esperansador
I wish Norman Filkenstein is still young so he can witness the liberation of Palestinian that he have worked in for decades
A hero of our ages!!! A true Jewish intellectual standing for justice and humanity
Prof Finkelstein is one of the few people whose interviews I watch from start-to-finish
I do wish Norman did not talk so much about Chomsky.
@@Jean-rg4spwhy?
@@smalt0 Norman overdoes his praise of Chomsky's importance to him on a personal level. It's a bit of a broken record.
@@Jean-rg4spYou know. I agree with you. It is actually a bit strange. Has Noam put him up to this? Did Norman never have a strong father figure in his life?
@@jamesline5103 I doubt Chomsky would be bothered to have Norman gush with praise of him and Norman speaks positively about both his parents although it is evident that his mother was the greater influence. They were not academics as Chomsky is and I believe it was this intellectualism of the famed linguist which attracted Norman to Chomsky, in particular on matters of ethics.
5 mins in and you already feel how kind and humane Finkelstein is. Bless you!
He called Immigration on his own neighbors and threatened them with deportation. Guy is something else, I wouldn’t trust him
Give this man a nobelprice for saying the truths. For the human family❤
He really deserves all the accolades in the world for his unrelenting pursuit of and lifelong devotion to truth and justice through his research and writing.
100 %
The Nobel peace prize since Obama was given, has lost it's meaning.🎉😮
@PeterLamin-pi6rv yeah your right. He started I think nine wars? Oh sry I mean, military operations
@@MICHI.ALFR3D welcome 🤗 to the brutal truth I'm the age of dis info 😔
I'm very proud. This is a man of honour
He shows that arrogance does not mean intelligence.
You have to love this man, what a courage I am an Arab and Muslim and would protect this man with my life!. What a beautiful human being
Thank you, Norman Finkelstein, for your lifelong dedication to truth. You embody more moral integrity than the powerful world leaders of the past and present, who have forsaken righteousness and humanity. You are a beacon of light, shining brightly in a world engulfed in darkness....
Prof Finkelstein for all your work and dedication. You are very welcome inspiring!
I've become addicted in Norman Finkelstein's videos. He makes me trust mankind again. His courage, his integrity, his sheer brilliance, his sense of humor, make me admire him more and more each day. And besides he's such a dish!
He was duped out of his tenure but he got the respect and love of multiples of people around the world. His work in advancing the cause of the Palestinian people is second to none.
I met him on the beach last month. He’s very nice. I thanked him for all he’s done. He was kind of shy. He’s a really passionate human being. I like him a lot. His contributions to society will be remembered for a long time.
You are a fortunate person ❤
You’re so lucky!
What beach? Rockaway?
Awesome parents. Great exposure. Thanks to all the moral souls who broadens our horizons
Was thinking the same thing, how as a parent, we have such influence over our children, I always tell my kids that they are no better or no worse than any other human being on this earth. We are so much more fortunate than others, purely by our circumstances; where we are born and to whom, it’s as simple as that
I remember meeting him back in 1997. It was not long after I read his first book. We invited him to a Palestinian solidarity lecture in Montreal. He wasn't very well known then, and people were so impressed with him and loved hearing such a courageous, strong, moral Jewish man speaking out. The auditorium was completely full of people. He was surprised then because he wasn't as big of a figure as he is now. He is a brilliant man.
Thank you for sharing ❤
❤❤
May Allah almighty bless this man, there is NO human being on earth who has such passion, courage and such integrity for the truth🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
May Allah Almighty guide him to Islam.
Funny @@Ismail-tc4zu
@@Ismail-tc4zu Norman Finkelstein is not a product of Islam... you are diminishing who he is by wishing he were a muslim....
Finklestein has certainly achieved his personal goal of being uniquely useful and purposeful. I am so grateful for all that I have learned from him and for all that he is bringing to light in the world.
The care with which he speaks reflects the careful thought and self-examination he brings to his writing. We all benefit from that.
Great respect and gratitude.
I second your opinion:KUDOS
I only wish more people could listen to him 😢
Go read the lunatic letter he sent to his neighbors threatening them with deportation.
It is always a great honor to listen to Professor Norman Finkelstein!!! Especially at this time of immeasurable suffering of the Palestinian people and the beginning of the great reaction of the regional resistance in the Middle East, which we finally know, understand and respect.
There are very few people I'd like to meet in person. Mr. Finkelstein is one of those I'd LOVE to meet. I admire him, and grateful for him.
ABSOLUTE LEGEND ❤🇵🇸🕊️
This video should be in every classroom globally. A picture of humanity at its best. Excellent interviewer too. Such humility of Finkelstein.
I second that! 💯
Norman is in a league by himself; an AWESOME human being. Thoughtful, ethical, courageous, brilliant… His decency is obvious in everything he says.
One hour with Norman Finkelstein is NEVER enough but am grateful for each minute you gave us. THANK YOU❣️
The best, in-depth profile of Jewish people and Israel I have ever heard! Thank you, professor Finkelstein
One of the things I took from this interview apart from the humanity of Prof Finkelstein is his sense of humour and humility. He is truly inspiring to listen to and has an honesty thatbis so refreshing. God bless you Norman.✌️🇵🇸🙏
He’s a Jew from Brooklyn, of course he’s funny. Seriously I love when he makes me laugh.
I admire him so much, as a Jew telling the truth. His knowledge is absolutely amazing and I watch all of his interviews. He dedicated his life to the injustice of the Palestinians and put the facts about Israel right. Incredible personality!!
the epitome of veracity, integrity and empathy. Great great man. Love the man
it's so wholesome to see prof norman be this jolly during an interview, God bless him.
So much respect for Prof Finkelstein, extremelyknowledgeable...🇿🇦
Prof NF is a treasure for all of humanity
Your mother raised amazing children, prof. Finkelstein ❤️
This man is one of the great thinkers and writers of this century. He blows me away every time i listen to him. Awful to say but i would never have known of his existence if not for the genocide in Gaza. I am glad to learn of him.
The Legendary Professor Norman Finklestein, standing on Truth, Justice & Academia ❤🍉
I have seen tones of discussion, talks & interviews by Prof. Finkelstein but by far this is my favorite. Honest to the core discussion & rather stern & light hearted at the same time. Thanks Prof. Norman Finkelstein for all your lifetime dedication
Thank you Norm❤You are an impressive Example for Empathy and Humanity. ❤❤❤
Respect and admiration to the professor Norman Finkelstein 🙌 you always "refresh","put back on track" of factual truth so many of us!!💪 freedom and justice to ALL!
Norm is a hero for speaking out against the scourge of Zionism. Anti Zionism is NOT antisemitism and I have nothing but support and love for my Jewish brothers and sisters who stand in opposition to the psychos who use their suffering as a shield for their genocidal ambitions!
Not even their own suffering, but that of their grandparents.
@@nevillec5252 He suffered the loss of almost every member of his family, hence his passion about this genside case.
The big irony is the named victims of gnside are native seamites
@@leathanaxe3709 Yeah, he's excellent.
As he said some time ago, using the H caust as an excuse to end Pa les ti nians is a dis grace to the mem ory (I'm paraphrasing).
@@nevillec5252 Yes I remember, I love him so much for his work and am so happy he got to see the future will be great! he had given up and now i think he knows even if he doesnt see it, it will happen.
I’m glad we have so much of Dr Finkelstein’s thoughts on video for future generations to learn from him.
Loved watching him laugh out loud in this interview. ❤ He’s a very compassionate & conscientious person. Praying for his health & safety.
❤You Norm. When you laugh, I laugh, but when you speak, I CERTAINLY listen!
Yes. And when he cries so do I 😢❤
Thank you for this beautiful portrait of Norman. I am so glad he is receiving the attention he deserves.
❤
Mr Finkelstein
And
Mr Salvatori
Thank You very
very much.
Thank you Norman Finkelstein.
The wisdom of Prof. Finkelstein is unreal. I am grateful to be able to watch his interviews.
I love ❤Norm so much, he is such a remarkable scholar, and speaks the truth. ❤ 🇵🇸
Dr. Finkelstein’s words, “I’ll be the last victim of Gaza”, are still ringing in my ears as I want to weep. This honorable man has given the best years of his professional career to give voice to the voiceless Palestinians 😔✊
Yes indeed, I wish more people could hear him, he needs to be heard 😢
Norman you are one of my favorite persons on earth. Thank you for your lifelong work for truth and justice. I love to see that despite all the horror you witness you have this humor and laughter about the world and also yourself. You at e a beautiful soul. I wish I could meet you in person sometimes.
Personal value! You have Humanitarian Value!
Much love to you Mr. Finkelstein ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for this fantastic interview with Professor Finkelstein, it's the best one I have seen. Along with his insight and wisdom, it was great to see his sense of humour come across too.
Norman Finkelstein has done important and great works bringing truth to the light. But another great thing I don’t know if he realizes is the hope he gives to people that in the world. There are still honest truth seeking people willing to spend their time and effort for the right causes. It just gives me such hope in mankind that not everybody is corrupt not everybody can be bought so I’m very thankful for men like Norman Finkelstein.
I can credit this great man with opening my eyes to the plight of the Palestinians and flipping me from the side my upbringing as an American basically defaulted that I be on to the CORRECT side to be on. I am so very grateful for everything he has done and continues to do giving a voice to those who need it the most and opening eyes and un-hardening hearts of those who simply haven't had a the chance to see the light yet.
Professor Finkelstein is a true Human, the way we should all be- kind, just, compassionate and smart❤️🙏🏻 long life and a good health to you Professor! So many people love you!
The problem I have found talking to most Jews outside Israel is that you basically can’t discuss anything negative about the place.
If you dare to put any idea across about the place that doesn’t fit there idyllic ideas of the place you get shut down.
Now for instance I live in New Zealand, lovely place but does it have racial issues, yes, could we look after our poor better, yes, do we pollute the place in a way that very few modern economies could get away with, yes.
But these problems are talked about, we know we need to do better, that’s what a good society does, it looks at the mirror and discusses what blemishes it sees.
Israel and the Jewish people have a self belief that is damaging to them and those who need to live with them.
And the biggest thing they need to get there heads around is that criticism of Israel doesn’t make you an antisemite.
Marvellous Well said!!
Indeed.
You are barking up the Tree of Rationality, and no one in Israeli society is at the top of it.
wadr:I fear your over-generalizations are based on a reflection of, understandably, your experiences, and are harmful/contribute to causes of prejudices.There are also jewish anti-zionist organizations full of jewish people who have been, & are now working against Zionist politics. There are many jewish people in anti-jewish organizations who have been & are now doing the same. Imo, it helps to avoid the potential harms of over-generalizing by using qualifiers like, 'many' or, 'the people I've met', etc vs 'the jewish people" vs 'Israel and the Jewish people have a self belief that is damaging to them and those who need to live with them.
And the biggest thing they need to '...
Racial issues, as in anti white bigotry. Yeah, you need to do better, you specifically i mean.
Indeed
I like people who are intelligent and have empathy and humanity intact. Got to know him since last year
Thank you Norman and everyone helping the victims of the genside case (UN ICJ case 192).
Thanks for this interview, so personal and so political at the same time. When I listen to Norman Finkelstein, I have those rare moments of intellectual and human discovery - when you listen to a great poem or read a great page of prose that articulate or paint the substance of human experience- justice and truth? And think: I thought that or I experienced that, or that it was like my mother too...
Great interview Paul! Norman always brings insight and facts to the table.
I have watched Mr Finkelstein many times, I am a big fan. It is always interesting to hear his conversations but this one is very good. Not only I learn about the truths regarding to Palestinian issue from him but how to be a good human against all odds,
Thank you for being who you are. Always learning something new from you. Thank you for that too. If the world is in hatred and outrage, nothing feels better than knowing there are also rays of light standing against darkness, injustice, and inequality. May more and more people become more aware of the realities of our world by all your hard work, and may your long standing dedication to justice and truth come to fruition, somehow, somehow.
Total respect for Norman Finkelstein 🙏
I can’t not watch Dr. Finkelstein’s videos. I feel like im missing out on knowledge and history that i should know about. He takes his time and at the end you get it. He’s a scholar and he’s well respected, the likes of Sh. Hamza Yusuf. God bless his parents and keep him strong.
Truth is absolute and irredeemable. The "struggle" belongs to the man seeking the truth, not to the truth. But Norman is an exceptional human being which we admire so much!
I agree with him that discovering the truth is a struggle. And mostly you have to struggle with yourself to clear away the cobwebs of your biases to come to the truth.
At least I've found over my life that it is a struggle.
A great man with clear, moral and articulate mind, his moral consistency is amazing, speaking out against the injustices of supposedly your own (jewish) people is truly courageous
Zionists are not Jews. They don't practice the laws of Judaism.
They are Zionists and that is their religion.
The Professor can be assured, he will be remembered for recording facts.
Thank you for this interview! I love and respect this man dearly.
Thank you Norman Finkelstein ❤
We love and applaud you Norman. You are truly unable to be duplicated easily. Finally the world has come to know your intellectual veracity, integrity and resilience. We give you your flowers while you are here with us. For all you do and for all that you have done for people with no voice or hope in sight…Thank You 🙏🏽 💜 🎩 🌹
I have saved this wonderful interview and discussion with Norman Finkelstein which made the hair stand up on my arms at times. Norman is incredibly interesting to listen to. He is one of the most virtuous human beings which is rare in a world full of lies. Thankyou 🙏
Love watching and listening. A great soul.
Professor Finkelstein, one of the few speaking out with conviction, passion and deeply researched and moral stance, against the psycopathic state that Is.rael is. A hero
His words are always beautiful ❤
Thank you Mr. Finkelestein
May God bless you with more wisdom and freedom of though and almighty hold you in his protection.
Thank you Mr Finkelstein. The truth must be told!
Why not study history and decide your own truth. The truth is that israel always had a claim to their land historically.
Hero of our times, the true spirit of Judaism, Mr Finkelstein!
Norman represents the voice of humanity and justice
Professors Norm is a man of honour and integrity. He is brave, fearless and has a brilliant understanding of how the J-e-w-s working structure and the measures they take on anyone that comes in there way. Thank you for teaching and leading by example.
You are a hero Norman Finkelstein!!
Truth and justice, beautifully expressed sentiments, thank you!!!
This documentary speech from Prof. Finkelstein is really treasure. Thank you TRT (also for the previous one)
I wish I had a mentor like Norman Finkelstein as a young German trying to understand how such a thing as the Holocaust could have happened. I am grateful to have him as a mentor now, as I am an old man, still trying to understand and be a human being who contributes to humanity. It's hard work.
Norman has made a sacrifice for humanity beyond our comprehension and imagination. This hero has not only sacrificed his personal life but also lives a life of constant awareness of the dangers that lurks around him as if waiting for the opportunity to strike a the heart of the living. The living that inspires the world. The voice that brings hope to the people of this world. I am forever grateful and indebted to you Sir. I hope and pray that you are granted a long and healthy life because I don’t know who will be able to take your place in this world. You have left a legacy unmatched
Excellent analysis from brilliant man!
Following you from Cartagena de Indias, Colombia.Professor Finkelstein ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! I greatly admire him. Great interview. Thank you
Thanks so much for this, Norman Finkelstein.
Thank you for having Professor Norm inform us further about the dangers of Israel.
Who or by what Authority does the DOD act to defend these monsters? They are starving two million people. Attacking five neighbors in two weeks. Who supports them?
I adore him ….❤
I been flowing Norman Finkelstein early last decade, really love this man for his truth honesty and just for humanity, god bless you Mr Prof N.Finkelstein
I can listen to him days on end….. he’s an amazing human being❤
This was delightful, 1 hour flew so fast!
Finkelstein is an example of human been full of love and humanity 💐❤️
Guys plz show support to this Professor. Please buy any of his books. He was not able to keep a job for being outspoken about Palestine and only small publishers would publish his books.
Thank you, Norman Finkelstein ❤️
I would love Norman to write an autobiography about his life. It’s so amazing to hear about his family and political consciousness
In a normal world, we would be supplying 'equipments' to the OCCUPIED not to the OCCUPIERRR. This is crazy.
Some true words right there.
Unless it's not in the supplier's interest
@@tofytisa6576 It is. They are on trial for gnside.
USA IS the occupier🤢
Amazing production ❤ thank you 🙏
JusticeTo Palestin.
Longtime follower of Norman Finkelstein. I have seen most of his interviews. Really appreciated how he pointed out the women and children vs men framing; as though ALL Palestinian men are deemed combatants and therefore appropriate targets for slaughter. It is insidious and sickening. Thanks for the great interview.
It's after midnight, tomorrow work but watched with such pleasure and amazement of how sharp he is. Thanks for this post💙
Shout out to TRT and your maintaining excellence! I saw the impeccable subtitles, and know that an actual human being must have checked them, because the subtitle correctly reads the German plural of Judenraete (räte) while Norm used the singular. Just a little detail that I appreciated. Thanks for this conversation!
I can never hate Jews because people like this man exist. This man is an example of Honesty and Justice. He should get the Noble Peace Award.
The world needs more people like this.
