Brief History of Israel-Palestine Conflict | Norman Finkelstein Teach-In on Gaza, Israel, and Hamas

- Опубліковано 24 жов 2023
- Political scientist and bestselling author Norman Finkelstein conducted a teach-in on the current situation in Gaza and Israel at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, via Zoom, on Tuesday October 17th, 2023.
As a Palestinian I grew up experiencing most of this while watching my parents, grandparents, aunts uncles and so forth deal with such unjust experience. Despite all this I don’t remember growing up watching any of my extended family having hatred for Jews (but for Zionism or Israel) From theological perspective I think we Palestinian consider religion is the core essence of our land Palestine
I took a few classes with Professor Norman Finkelstein at DePaul University in Chicago around 2006-2008 and learned a lot about this conflict then. At the time, he was really the only high profile Jewish academic who openly criticized Israel and supported the Palestinians. He lost his teaching career because of his views. A real mensch.
What major? Political science?

I think the Major was "how to fool people and to make them think you're telling the truth"
@@spacecan1Great job on challenging him! Love your utilization of sources and evidence, as professor Finkelstein does in every explanation.
Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou Norman. You are a gem in these times of madness, evil and lies.
lol norman is terrible
Thank you Norman for dedicating your life to this work. I know you said in a recent video that you became pessimistic about your work and starting thinking that there was no solution to this tragic situation. I am so glad that you found the inspiration and strength to share your expertise on this topic and to advocate for the lives of these long oppressed people. In my eyes you are one of the greatest heroes in America and I am so grateful that we can continue learning from you.
He's an ignorant hack. He leaves out all context for a reason. Because it would destroy his argument.
Steven Pinker has shown empirically that all our progress in the West comes from secular liberal democracy. Finkelstein has shown to want to stand against everything that any secular liberal democracy stands for and this is why we seek to debate those who support him - just got debunked on Atheist Republic - where are his supposed followers to defend his support for theocracies and jihadists?
Goddamn! I respect Dr. Finkelstein!! I learned so much in this 40 minutes and feel like i finally have a history in a nutshell which I was looking for. I have taken notes too and will research all the things he mentioned so I can better understand this history.
Norman is a true gem of a human being
I pray for you daily
Love you with all my heart
Thank you for standing up for truth and dedicating your life to that
Your parents will be proud of you
God bless you
This man is an international treasure and just so good at explaining and painting a clear picture. I’ve read his works and he is resolute about sticking to reporting the facts from PRIMARY sources. I aspire to do research as thorough as Norman’s for any subject I am interested in. He definitely sets the bar or gold standard for investigative research and his writing style is great too!
all is his sick imagination sadly
@@georgka74Sure, for Zionist colonists like you? Of course
Georg do you genuinely believe in what you were told?
@@georgka74- I know the truth hurts.
Absolutely! He's not only an inspiration as a morally righteous human and a model for sacrifice for a just cause, but also an inspiration as a thorough and dedicated scholar
No one gives me more hope in humanity than Dr. Finklestein
That’s a joke…you might not realize it. ..But all Norman has done is cause more innocent people to die. His talks have lead to resistance within Gaza…causing innocent people to die. I think he knows that and truly wants all the Palestinians dead.
Brilliance
EVERYONE in the US needs to hear this
They don’t want to hear the truth, lol
@@humanbeing5300 Norman isn't much truth.
Glad so glad to see this man who has devoted so much of his life here now to inform everyone of all the knowledge she holds. Anyone who misses these videos of Norman Finkelstein is really losing out on an absolute wealth of factual history.
The truth is out there.... Why do people not seek the truth before passing judgement and deciding to support Israel blindfolded? Thank you for your honesty and knowledge Professor
Un homme d'1 bonté exceptionnel..
Most people,are sheep and go,with the flock. They don’t have time, intelligence, and many times it’s not in their self interest
An asset for this issue -explains the issue with truth and clarity. Thank you for all your hard work. It is now coming to fruition as the world is waking up! Keep going Norman
This video should be shared on all social media
This video should be watched by everyone. Thank you Norman for always speaking the truth. We learn a lot from your videos.
If you would like people to see it, you should share the link to it all over social media and everywhere you can, as well as to all the contacts you may know who can receive the link that also explains that the video is informative and educational. Without an effort like that by you and others told to do the same along with the link, it is unlikely to be seen by as many people.
Thank you. I will take your advice. I will even try to promote it as a paid ad (if allowed, although I doubt it)@@aFoxyFox.

There is nothing more pro peace than education and educated minds. Thank you for educating us dear Dr. Finkelstein.
Dispicable! Fiction. He's leaves out whatever doesn't suit his narrative. The Arab Legion launched a War against Israel in '48,the Palestinians left because they thought they'd drive the Jews into the sea. Guess what, they Lost!
Agree on your statement.I have noticed that those educated and not religiously indoctrinated palestinians have no or much less problems regarding Israel.
I had a basic understanding. I will do more reading. Norman is one of very few I trust for the truth.
I will forever respect you Doctor
Dear brother
My name is Alia Mohammed Jaludi
I live in New Jersey. My roots are Jordanian and Palestinian.
I need to thank you for your voice and your great knowledge for being brave to speak the truth through oceans of hard work, pure dedication and wisdom.
Speaking the truth no matter the cost is not easy and you handled this with grace and great dignity.
I praise your courage and your love for life and justice.
You have helped me to be able to cope better and with insight from a person who knows very well the other side when it comes to the truth about Palestine.
In my eyes you are soldier of truth and of moral high ground,brave to stand tall even though evil and blind,stone hearts attack with falsehood and plain arrogance matched with ignorance.
May you be blessed and protected with the righteous path.

O believers! Stand firm for justice as witnesses for Allah even if it is against yourselves, your parents, or close relatives. Be they rich or poor, Allah is best to ensure their interests. So do not let your desires cause you to deviate ˹from justice˺. If you distort the testimony or refuse to give it, then ˹know that˺ Allah is certainly All-Aware of what you do.
Your sister,

God bless and protect you.
You are a true hero, Dr. Finkelstein. You’re incredible on all levels. Thank you for your knowledge and humanity
Here here
Obviously by your picture tag, you are a supporter of the Palestinian state. I'm curious (and I hope you don't mind me asking), if you could go to the UN with a general plan to resolve this conflict, what would it be?
I welcome anyone else who sees the above question to chime in as well!
Please, go ahead and answer.
Your question alone reveals that you know little about the subject
Bless you .. a great mentality
Thank you, professor Finkelstein! 🇵🇸🇧🇷🇵🇸✌️
Thank you so much for summarizing a conflict of over 6 decades so succinctly.
This is by far and away the best explanation for lay people on the history of this conflict. There is so much hyperbole and drama in the explanations I have seen. It's impossible to have zero bias, but this is as close as you are going to get on a topic like this. Thanks for posting this and thanks to Dr Finkelstein for taking the time to explain this in a way that almost everyone can understand!
Another masterful presentation by Prof. Finkelstein.
Great man Norman Finkelstein! God bless you! 👍
A true Jew who by doing the right thing, above all honours his parents as victims of the holocaust.
I salute a man of principles.
What a beautiful soul and mind. Thank you professor Norman.
Norman Finkelstein: you are THE MAN. 😊☝🏾
Thank you sooooo much for your tremendous perseverance; incredible scholarship,; tenacious integrity, and your profound humanity.
You're a hero !
More power to this man. We need more people like him. God bless you Professor Finkelstein.
What a wonderful man! Love listening and learning from you!
I love listening to Norman debate. He's so deliberate with every word because every word is based on immense study, thoughtfulness and life experience. Plus he's from Brooklyn which you can hear even if he never said where he was from.
Thank you Mr.Finkelstein for always siding with the opressed and just. This video is a great summary of the conflict, incredibly truthful and an amazing portrayal of a colonialist history.
"Always siding with the oppressed" otherwise known as "siding with the underdog" is an infantile perspective. And Fink is an infantile and disingenuous charlatan. He hides behind abstract legalism, which does not determine moral right or wrong. He leaves out all actual context. Because if he provided it, he would have no argument.
. These will provide further context. To understand the full context that Fink leaves out. All at YT.

Thank you Dr Finkelstein.
Thank you for educating us about history and truth.
Protect this man at all costs!
Thank you, Mr. Finkelstein.
Everyone needs to see this! 💔🇵🇸
Thank you dr. Finkelstein. Your lessons are invaluable for people to make informed opinions of the current situation. High time our government do a mandatory training on this topic as an essential qualification for their jobs.
I've been surfing the internet for weeks for an unbiased summary of the Israel/ palestine conflict and so glad I found this. Finkelstein has his biases, but at least he doesn't clutter the issue with untruths.
He's incredibly biassed though. He omits a lot of the Israeli side and downplays any wrongdoing on Palestine's behalf.
Personaly for me(east european) the fact that he symphatizes with Putin and justifies Ukraine invasion takes away all his credibility.
This isn't balanced, not even close. He leaves out all meaningful context and the majority of the history. He's a charlatan or just naive, im not sure which but here. All at YT.

@@psmorgan2542why would he be biased. His whole family suffered in Holocaust. They were all in concentration camp. His mother taught him to fight oppression as much as he can. Her mother, a Holocaust survivor, was proud that he fought of oppressed Palestinian people.
People like Netanyahu are selling the sufferings of who died and suffered in Holocaust for their gains. His book ‘the Holocaust Industry’ is a must read who really wants to know how Zionist sell the sufferings of Jewish people for their gains.
Sometimes a bias is based on truth . This is a Jewish man whose parents went through the holocaust.
He’s just giving us the unvarnished truth.
thank you dr.finkelstein. you are one of the greatest scholar ive ever seen, its very dissapointing that you got cencored all these years. i hope podcast host's give platform to experts such as you on this matter so we can overcome this conflict and move toward peace.. my respect to you sir.
For people who want to listen to this lecture but deem it to be slow paced, please put the speed of the video at 1.25x. It's worth it, trust me.
I'm at 2 x, it's great :)
The first & ONLY explanation of all this mess that I’ve ever understood. Thank you, Norman Finkelstein.
Norman you are amazing. A gift to the world.
All my respect to you sir. Thank you.
Bless this incredible man, a man of peace and intellect
Dr. Finkelstein is a world treasure. Love that man.
A treasure of a charlatan.
Excellent history facts. You sir are a gentleman and a scholar.
lol hes a clown.
The world leaders need more men like Norman. People who put humanity and facts first. This man deserves global recognition for his life commitment towards education, awareness and justice towards a people who aren’t even his own, a true humanitarian. May he be blessed for all his efforts. ❤
Thank you 🙏🏽
God saves you sir, I love you sir ❤❤
I just want to say thank you for presenting facts throughout the whole video. There wasnt' any bias confirmation or opinions in this video. A very clear, apparent educational video highly recommend others to watch to get a true understanding of what's going on in our world.
God bless you Norman, it's absolutely brillant, thank you so much.❤
The cool thing about Finkelhatstein that his incredible intellect is delivered in an equally astoundingly captivating manner.
Nah, he's naive and really not that bright. Bright enough to maintain his career by completely ignoring context and actual history. but hey, he makes a buck or two.
@@jessereichbach588how can you so shamelessly and boldly state a thing that is so clearly the opposite of reality?
In fact he lost his source of income and was sanctioned by all major institutions. He's sacrificed his life in all but the literal meaning to advocate for a just cause of oppressed people.
@@TheMosayat LOL that's one heck of a delusion. And do you so shamelessly and boldly state a thing that IGNORES all reality? Do you not understand that by doing that he's gained fame , money and a career he never could have achieved in academia? And that his entire career now depends on perpetuating this specific marxist narrative? A narrative that depends on leaving out or distorting 90% of context and history.
And that still doesn't change the fact he's completely morally corrupt. His whole moral compass is just twisted and warped.
His life is a story of upgrading from back office academia to "public intellectual". And he has benefited greatly. His life is the story of a naive ideologue, who took a risk because of naive beliefs, and it ended up benefiting his entire career and life.
He now sells masses of books to the public, instead of obscure academic texts, that are too expensive for the average person and only a handful of students buy.
What are you even talking about? You act like he doesn't make more money since then then he would have had he stayed in academia.........
The only people oppressing "Palestinians" are other "Palestinians"., Hamas and the PA. And the masjid mascot, the Fink, helps them do it with his public propaganda. Pro-Palestinian IS anti-hamas and anti-PA and PRO-Israeli.
Norman is so clear and right. Thanks Norman x
Objective presentation!!! Finally!
Thank you so much Dr Finkelstein. ❤
This man needs to get on Piers Morgan's show!!
They're too cowardly to dare feature such a knowledgable and unapologetically righteous person.
Norman is objective. I love that about him.
I love the fact that you are an obvious Moscow troll.
😂
This needs more views because corporate media is not telling the truth.
Incredible humanitarian ❤
Keep the education Dr Norman . Keep opening eyes .
Thank you for speaking the truth
This was very informative and clear
Amazing. Thank you for explaining Zionazism
Incredibly educational! As a person who is struggling to understand this conflict I feel like I can finally understand what the news is talking about
You meant to say you finally understand what the news isn't talking about❤
You are awesome man!
May Allah guide dr Finkelstein and grant him paradise ameen
انته رجل حقيقي وانساني رحمك الله يادكتور نورمان❤أحبك
Finkelstein is cool, calm and 100% correct ❤
Excellent overview ... precisely what's needed at this present historical moment ... been following Norman for a little over 20 years - he's the most important, reliable & knowledgable analyst by quite some distance ... both his trenchant forensic analysis of claims & counter-claims & his ability to apply his findings to develop a razor-sharp broader overview that demolishes new & on-going mythologies ... treated shockingly over the years (not only by cowardly university administrations caving-in to outside pressure from bad actors ... but also by the airhead Woke BDS virtue-signalling brigade - the fake left of the professional-middle class) ... hope Part 2 can be uploaded to UA-cam, eager to see it.
Very well described
Most deep respect for Prof. Finkelstein, he is one of the very rare non Palestinian people that dedicated his life in support of the most oppressed and helpless people in modern history.
The previous holder of that title must have been Jews
Where is the question and answers segment?
Thanks Norman, good info.
Thank you for educating us idiots. So very grateful!!
This Guy is very fair in his analysis to this conflict. I was unhappy with the cutting of the video short. Where can we find the rest of it? Please
there are links further down in the comment of @davidspivak8343
He is amazing. ❤❤❤
We need someone to put this into graphs etc
Is there an additional recording, with the Professor continuing this talk and / or taking questions? .. also THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this. It's so good. (So sad, but.) I am a teacher, and as a secondary note, but he is so patient, clear .. steady. There are many good ways to "lecture," but his way is certainly very, very good -- and it "works" for a very wide audience. The concepts required, the language required (incl mastery of english itself) .. he does this in a way that "includes" so many people. I just mean to say, *if* somebody wishes to watch the video, there's a very good chance the professor can communicate his information to that person -- no specialized background expertise required (to listen); not a high level of english mastery ...... etc. // And of course, multiple sources, so that at least at some parts .. okay I'll stop I've made my point. :) Secondary point, to summarize : as a work of teaching / presentation, it's awfully good.
31:29 As a lawyer, Hillary reminds me of that client that keeps snitching on himself, just more insufferable. Good thing she's in politics, otherwise she'd be in prison.
You have her mixed up with Trump
❤❤
Prof Norman FINKELSTEIN deserves and well earned Nobel Peace award for his decades long work on behalf of Palestinians. Who is going to start a Petition!
P.s.
I do not work for Prof. FINKELSTEIN, found out about Him only via videos in November 2023; i am not a Palestinian. Blessings to the Prof.
P.p.s. Prof CHOMSKY qualifies to nominate Prof FINKELSTEIN for NOBEL PEACE PRIZE. I pray Prof CHOMSKY will be willing to do this great thing for Humanity.

Gostaria muito de ouvir esse vídeo com legendas em Português.
Where is Part II? This was pposted three weeks ago, so there must be one somewhere.
Wow
Marc LaMont Hill sent me. I been trying to understand as much of this as possible as its connected to our own position within the Black liberation movement. Thanks Mr.Finkelstein
Great
My God! It can only have been allowed to continue like this by the USA and the EU. 😭😭
Please someone ask Prof. N. Finkelstein to write a book about this issue, the history of the conflict with an emphasize on Gaza, for so many people ask and need it, so that tremendously important knowledge here shared unwritten will not be lost.
He already has written several 😊
@@kaneema_4317 He wrote not about the history of the conflict, but related specific issues. Most of the knowledge regarding this, is actully still (scattered) on Net.
He has a book literally called Gaza.
May Allah bless you n your family dr. Finkelstein. ❤❤❤
Is part 2 available anywhere?
Thank you!!! I am passing this on to whoever I can.
Please don't, you will just be misleading them. Just like Fink does by completely ignoring context and most of the actual history. here

Where is the full video?
Injustice, perceived or real, inevitably results in conflicts. The prevailing colonizers attitude among Westerners, before and right after the creation of the state of Israel, was that Arabs represented a lesser than humanins, and thus have less rights if at all. The facts then and now should have lead to a totally different outcome, but as always the British knew better and they managed to create this conflict! As long as there is no justice, there will not be peace between the Palestinians and the Israelis.
Additionally, I don't want to sound pedantic but is there are reason why you said eight passengers were killed on the Mavi Marmara? I did read your paper on the incident report, which states that nine passengers were killed. In the Turkish media, the majority of sources claim that ten passengers were killed but some have claimed that the number was nine. To my knowledge, it was never further investigated.
Is this all one shot/take???
