    Imagine this is 5 years ago and the same thing is happening and people really got a short memory
  • @geraldineboyd202
    Unbelievable, I had to do a double take. This interview took place 5 years ago!!!! Thank you do much for posting this
  • @basabissov
    I can't believe that this interview was 5 years ago. The Palestinians suffered for 75 years.
  • @MK-hh1vo
    Wow! 5 years later; I thought he was referring to the current 2023 Gaza/Israel situation!!! I kept wondering why he was referring to the former US president, and then I checked the posting date of this video! This man was on point with everything he said. Amazing work Democracy Now!
  • Israel calls this genocidal behavior, “Mowing the Grass”. What could be more despicable?
  • @gnozza8683
    You'll never see this man on the mainstream media.
  • @rwaleed99
    His voice, his face, his whole way is music to my ears!!!! I truly appreciate this man
  • Who is here in 2024? Finkelstein was right then and he is right now.
  • I simply adore Norman Finkelstein for his brilliance, his sense of justice, his meticulous scholarship, and his charming delivery so evident in this interview.
  • @PrincipalDBA
    5 years since this video. It has not sunk in for me. It echoes what is currently happening.
  • @avewinters
    He couldn’t be more right - with the atrocities happening in Palestine right now, I think we’re all looking for answers about how the people with the most power are failing at upholding democracy
  • A man of honor and integrity. Standing on the side of justice, even if this means isolation from your own community. All my love and respect to him. He will go down in history as one of the most righteous men of his time. ✊🏽👏🏼
  • @Suzi195
    Finklestein captured exactly the pain of the Palestinians.
  • @mariaa6918
    Norman is absolutely outstanding....what an education
  • Do you remember Rachel corrie ? It's time to bring this crime back to light.
  • @rez_tu
    This video has aged so well. Today we see this and understand what’s happening is not new.
  • @ananda111
    Impressive to watch this very essential interview on 05/24/2024... when we were unable to stop the massacre of the Palestinian people. Professor Norman Finkelstein, a beacon for us, on behalf of these people in total and unbelievable suffering. Stay strong, Dr. NF! Thank you, DN!
