I just finished the book this morning. Some of the details were difficult to finish - the impulse to look away came more than once. But I want to read this and know it for the people and to know that Norm is not the only one who looks. “Martyrdom” is correct according to the case he makes - it’s a moral look at what is left for people who have no other way to remain human. The book reaches a crescendo at the latter third - the disgust and outrage is visceral.

Thank you very much for this great man's words. He spoke to his naivete as to his favour for nonviolent civil disobedience. As I see it, love then caused him, from moral authority based in the universalism of Love, to throw condemnation from Love itself at the pure evil that accomplished the lunacy of genocide on his own people, just as the now misled of his people follow in those evil footsteps. All heaven in rage, as Blake put it. And steadfast in Love is a great man, and Dr. Finkelstein is the greatest of men since Dr. King.

At the 4-minute mark, Finkelstein notes that he is not trying to commercially exploit his knowledge and analysis of the experience in the east Mediterranean Levant, but to document the facts and common experiences therein.

Does Ben Gurion's concern about Arabs accepting a jewish state in their midst reflect the Arab concern or Ben Gurion's? At this point in my life, I have to read the simplest arguments and essays three times, so I am always grateful for the elucidation provided in Finkelstein interviews.

[@vibesverily]

the sleight of hand was conflating the white european settler colonial project of zionist israel with the general abstracted notion of a "jewish state". a more accurate statement would be "no people anywhere will accept a bunch of murderous marauding interlopers killing them and stealing their land and persecuting them on the basis of a racial supremacist ideology, and their neighbors probably wont like it either, particularly when said ideology dehumanizes them as well"

@@lisabahouth8893 You're welcome Lisa. I have a list that I read and Shlomo in my view is the best. I send you the list and also a good list of analists. I fight for Palestine and the Palestinian People. Analists: Ralph Wilde - Scott Ritter - Larry Johnson - Douglas MacGregor - Jeffrey Sachs - Rami Khouri - Colin Clark - Ilan Pappe - John Measrheimer - Larry Johnson - Norman Finkelstein - Col. Lawrence Wilkerson - Richard Wolff - Theodore Postol. Good historic books: Jimmy Carter: Palestine, Peace not Apartheid; Shlomo Sand: The Invention of The Jewish People, How I Stopped Being a Jew, and The Invention of the Land of Israel; Rashid Khalidi: The Hundred Year's War on Palestine; Yahya Sinwar, The Thorn and The Carnation; Ilan Pappe: The History of Modern Palestine; Dries van Agt: Palestine in Agony, and also A Cry for Justice. I also know the Bible from A to Z, but that's not a history book, no science book no law book, just a religious book written by the jews themselves. God did not speak to Moses or Abraham. Religious nonsense.

The Palestinians truly are God’s chosen people, no other people in the world have been this openly and blatantly targeted by the one group that you cannot criticize no matter what because “that group has been oppressed for no reason at all for thousands of years”. The Palestinians are unique in the strength and resolve they have shown in resisting those who you are not allowed to criticize. The Gazan martyrs cannot die in vain, the world needs to see the truth for what it is. The world needs to see what the “number one victim group” is really all about. The self described greatest victims were always the greatest perps. Approximately 100 years ago the bolsheviks genocided over 20 million ethnic Ukrainians because of racial hatred. The primary method, starvation, was the exact same as it is now. 85% of the bolsheviks were from the victim group despite the victim group accounting for only 3-4% of the overall population. One example is Lazar Kagnovich, who was the top Holodomr advisor to Joseph Stalin.

[@edwardjones2202]

Good video thanks . I think at 1:16:00 Francesca Albanese's remarks on the law are worth incorporating. The discussion at this point is Israel's legal right to self defence. Finkelstein distinguishes between Israel's legal and morl right to self defence. I think the block on Israels Gaza assault can be achieved without this distinction, i.e. remaining within the bounds of legal provisions, if we follow Albanese's analysis Alabanese says that Israel had a right to stop the attacks on its own soil. However, because of the context of the occupation and settlements, Israel did not have the right to "wage war against Hamas in Gaza". She says that "self-defence" is a term of art in international law which extends to waging war against the attacker even after the imminent threat abates. In this sense of self defence, Israel had no legal right of self defence, she says.

To an extent - certainly not comparable to Norman's - I empathize with the effort to create and structure an argument from "reports" (discovery/ opposition briefs/ judicial precedent}. I likened the process to conception then gestation then birth. This was pre-internet so all documents and cases were hard copy and books -. no PC - no spell check - hand write then dictate then edit - edit - edit for consistency - word choice - sentence structure - each fact supported with reference to addenda and the process consuming every waking moment. Fortunately, briefs had page limits and filing deadlines - then on to the next case. What Norman has accomplished is a tour de force that places him with the greats of history. I hope he will allow himself rest and rejuvenation. Bless you Norman - you truly are a beacon of light for truth and justice.
