@@paulgibby6932 The more they accuse, blame, create chaos, deny, deflect, distract, spread Hatred, Fear and LIES... the more they Project who "They Are", the more they confuse the World in order to keep the focus off of them.

@@EytanKochyes it has if the texts are being followed. The. Court has accepted the case and called it ‘plausible’ pending further investigations. Plus common sense does, actually.
@@wolfiesown Not sure if you are trying to gaslight or just mislead. Either way, stop. You know as well as I do the court hasn't ruled on the merits yet. And there is a presumption of innocence in international law. Calling it plausible is not calling it genocide. Of course it's "plausible". Look at how open the wording of the Genocide convention is: "in whole or in part". I mean, one person being killed could be considered "in part". So yes, it's plausible. Big deal. As I stated, the court HAS NOT RULED ON THE MERITS, so no. International law has not called it a genocide. And to your second point: "Common sense"? Really? Then why even have courts of law? Let's just have courts of "common sense". It was "common sense" for 1000 years that heavier objects fell faster than light ones. Until Galileo proved it wrong. It was "common sense" in Germany in the 30s that Jews were the reason behind all of Germany's downfalls. No thanks. Common sense sucks. I prefer facts.
I have to confess that before this latest conflict, I believed that all Jews were supportive of Israel and their continuing atrocities against Palestinians. I have been so surprised by the disgust of so many American, UK and European Jews against Israel's actions.
hes one in ten! the vast majority of jews are racist, hatred, greedy and selfish people. they dont care for nothing but power and money. what amazes me is that after all of this killing people still dont realize this.
@@dianad1968The silent majority are with Israel. Like myself. Too bad you would be hard pressed to find a Arab or Muslim to speak up against Assad, who's family has ruled Syria for fifty years. Death and destruction in Yemen. Iran, that shoots civilians in the streets. Also, you blind to see, that this variety of opinions amongst Jews is a strength not a weakness. That's why Israel, ten million people total, leaves the Arab countries in the shade.
@@dianad1968we must always focus on the fact that there are good people with compassion and thirst of justice and there are those who find it easier to hate. That’s what we are as humans and we must not fall into the trap of generalizing and believing that one group of people is somehow ‘good’ and some ‘bad’ because that inevitably leads to racism and supremacy/inferiority thinking.
Yes, please let's recognize, the enormous difference between, the very recent existence of Zionism (A Mid to late, last century, effort,1948, in Palestine, next to the centuries old peaceful existence between, to name only a few, Arab, Moslem and Christian factions) and the aged old much more peaceful existence between many different cultures. To be frank, European factions/Countries have, whether through design or worse, have through intentional ignorance created a path for Third World War atmosphere in the Middle East!
And so should every normal human being with a moral compass and normal empathy! And also support the BDS organisation (Boycott divestment and sanction) Then this horrific apartheid regim of israel could not survive! (Remember South africa)
The US will talk about international law when it wants to say Iran is being an outlaw. The US will talk about international law when it wants to say North Korea is being an outlaw, Cuba is being an outlaw, Venezuela is being an outlaw. But international law is entirely different when it comes to what the US wants to do.
Yes, because they care so much about genocides and the brutal murder of innocent people that they refused to arrest Omar al-Sharif - the Butcher of Darfur -who killed 300,000 Black people and displaced 2,000,000 more. The International Criminal Court accused South Africa of violating international humanitarian law for that. Oh and they engineered it so they didn't have to arrest Putin either, also accused of genocide by the International Criminal Court. Yes, long live South Africa, who really couldn't give a crap about hundreds of thousands of innocent people and kids being genocided... unless the alleged crimes are committed by Jews.
Indeed, the Houthies are to be admired for their strength and honor in defending rights of Palestinians. They took a stand against world powers and have brought the plight of Palestinians to the global stage by interrupting trade... Seems the rest of the world was only interested in continuing global trade and saving the bottom line... The Houthies are doing the honorable thing... US/UK have so much blood on their hands it will never wash off.... The stain is forever.
@@JacobRothman How did Finkelstein manage to gaslight the sheep into supporting the Houthis? This should be a no brainer. He's a very dangerous propagandist.
@@JacobRothmanyou are the one needing the help .. they didn't interrupted nothing only Israeli ships, and now of corse American and Britsh ships, they are attacked daily and turn around, they just don't tell u that in the news .. and btw they have more weapons than Hiszbollah.
Oh, absolutely!!! What a team of lyers, radical lefties and truth deniers!!! What a combination😂😂😂😢😢😢😢 It's difficult to grasp as to how supposedly educated people can be so indoctrinated with this ideology, evil by lying to other human beings and still able to live with themselves!!! Quite amazing, but at the same time how damaging to every decent society these people are!!! They a bad news and unfortunately the reason for this madness of crowds In major cities of completely brainwashed young generation!! I wonder if this what you call combination Of, I would call evil and sycopatic liers, will bring the Western societies down!!! I hope not, because there are good, intelligent and bright people like Douglas Murray as well as brave person like Mosab who is fighting for the truth risking he's own life!!! Hopefully the light will defeat the darkness!!!
The doctors that volunteered to go to Gaza when they could easily get a job in any nation should be remembered as heroes. It takes a special human to do that. Big respect
I'm not sure how you all manage to find the mental, emotional, psychological or even the physical energy to report and analyze these depravities each and every single day, but you're the true moral giants of our time, and I salute you all!
To Dr. Finkelstein’s point, also all of these independent media programs need to be credited. Without their coverage, nobody would know or care what’s going on.
As an Armenian with Palestinian grandmother- we suffered our own Armenian Genocide and twice been displaced, I am humbled honoured and grateful to the Great South Africa The bravest among the brave who stood up to the oppressor apartheid state, giving the children of Palestine voice and existence chance to live with dignity Thank you for the bottom of my heart I pray that you see this through to see united standing up against evil entities hiding behind the Holocaust, and using it as a weapon to gain impunity and manipulate the way through political agendas Which has started over 75 years before October7th
and Turkey continues to have ties with Israel and at least if Turkish comments on a video about why Muslim countries aren't supporting Palestine are representative of Erdogan's supporters, they still blame Palestine for the Arab revolt against Ottomans. I am a Muslim and what the Ottomans did you is completely unjustified and they should at minimum apologize and stop supporting Azerbaijan against Armenia. This is not about religion, it is about dictators like Erdogan and Nathanyu.
Palestinians are teaching us about resilience and patience. South Africans are teaching us about justice and empathy. The Houthis of Yemen are teaching us about courage and fortitude.
What a price to have Craig Mokhiber, Norman Finkelstein and young gun Katie Halper on the same panel talking sense. .. and when the moment of truth comes.. brilliant.
Wonderful Fireside chat with these lovely people! It occurs to me that at the heart of the heartless behavior of the hatred of the IDF and much of the Israeli population for the Palestinians is that they (the Israelis) know that they would never be able to endure what they put the Palestinians through! In addition to that---there is a genuine fear/terror that one day the Israelis will be confronted with and condemned for their brutality and their lack of compassion and Humanity.
With a warm and hard squeeze and a huge hug, with a very deep sense of gratitude, I THANK MY COUNTRY, SOUTH AFRICA, for standing up for the people of Palestine, and changing the course of history for a people near total annihilation., for standing up and taking the right action, whilst the rest kept debating, philosophising about a life and death situation, that just needed brave people to stand and say: "ENOUGH AND NO MORE, NO "BLERRY" MORE!!! PROUDLY SOUTH AFRICA!!!! WELL DONE SOUTH AFRICA!! ALLUTA CONTINUA!
Amazing observations for the sad reality we are witnessing...South Africa, the voluntary doctors, the selfless courageous people, journalists and Houthis playing vital roles♡
australia i agree with you mate , we on the wrong side of history ,,,not we the people but western governments ...no vote no consent end governments in the west until we re organize a hell of a lot of things and how it gets done ..its time for new ideas on this planet big time , im 57 never voted ,what we see now is why
Hats off to the people of Yemen. They are demonstrating in the 10s of thousands in opposition to the war in Gaza, while other Arabs are cowering in fear of their governments police force.
@@bestcomsystems4458 Haha you left out the best part of his quote: ""I, for one, will never begrudge-on the contrary, it warms every fiber of my soul-the scenes of Gaza’s smiling children as their arrogant Jewish supremacist oppressors have, finally, been humbled."
@@bestcomsystems4458 I have fact checked about 5 or 6 of Norm's biggest lies. And that's really what they are. "Mowing the lawn" was about killing terrorists, not kids; Israel never put Gaza on a calorie-restricted diet; Gaza is (obviously) not a concentration camp; and on and on. He's nothing more than a propagandist, and if you listen carefully, he as much as admits it. He talked to Glenn Loury about "winning over large amounts of people to, so to speak, the cause..." Cause? Historians shouldn't have causes. They should be objective and unbiased. he told Marc Lamont Hill: "Fair enough; fair enough. You can say I have an agenda, and I tailor my language to further my agenda." And that's just what he ADMITS to. Tip of the iceberg, for sure. I realize I'm preaching to the choir, but anyhow, that's the real Norm.
@@bestcomsystems4458 My previous response seems to have been deleted but yeah, if you look at the footnotes in his books, he just takes quotes wildly out of context. And as far as the claims he makes in his videos, I've been able to disprove a large number of them. And I'm no academic. He's very powerful though, and dangerous. Look at all the sheep in these comments.
Please keep shedding light on this travesty. Thank you all for your efforts to defend these poor noble palestinians. You are wonderful people. But the other Arab countries should do something. Where are they.? Where is India? Where is Pakistan, Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Syria,Iraq, Iran, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Others? Much less the so called "civilized" western countries?
! Saudi, Jordan, UAE all have ties with US/Israel and Saudi sends food and weapons to Israel and ZERO to Palestine to upkeep the starvation and Genocide in Gaza. The rest also send fuel etc to Israel.
"I never thought I would live to see the day where a large majority of young jews think I am a liberal Zionist". Let those words sink in. This man has been the most vocal critic of Israel ever since 1982. And to be honest, I don't think anyone did.
Katie , thanks a million, for your stance and for inviting Pr Finkelstein to your show and other people who can teach the world to differentiate between truth and propaganda. You’re doing a great job.
I feel bad about the Oct.7, attack on Israelis, but Netanyahu has gone beyond the pale against the long suffering Palestinians, who had nothing to do with Hamas actions.. He has wiped out the good will towards Israel. I have heard several people say they do not want to visit Israel now.
What a beautiful and important conversation. Norm Finkelstein and Craig Mokhiber keep shedding more and more light of truth against the darkness. Thank you, Katie, for hosting them.
Abdul-Malik Badruldeen al-Houthi, the Houthi leader, said to his followers back in 2009 that one day they would need to stand by the Palestinians, because no one else would ... and here we are
The worse of them all is that the Arabs, neighboring the Palestinians and Gaza, Saudis, Egyptians, Jordanians have become cheering or silent spectators. These are worse among the Muslim and Arab nation. +200 million in number are these neighboring Arabs and they do absolutely nothing. My immense love for the Palestinians, children and women and the Yemenies (houthies). The poorest among the the Arabs is the best in showing empathy and compassion and even preparing to die for the Palestinians whom they sincerely called as their brothers and sisters. These are the true humane qualities that exist in the Yemenies and the true brotherhood that should be exhibited amongst the Muslims. The oppressed of the world loved the Yemenies (the Houthies)
! Saudi sends Food and weapons to Israel and NONE to the Muslims and Children in GAZA! The Kaba is now Null and Void in Saudi and no Muslim will be making haj to Saudi!
If Saudi Arabia cared at all about Islam or Muslims, they would immediately halt ALL oil sales to any country continuing diplomatic relations with Israel. They only use their perverted version of Islam as a way to control others. Even Iran, for all of what it is saying it is not openly doing anything. Egypt was even doing the thing Israel does with AIPAC and DMFI but instead of buying Rep. Menendez to support Palestine, they only asked him to sell stuff to Egypt only. These countries don't even need to fight, they can create political chaos for the IDF in the US by funding candidates who oppose Israel with completely legal PACs.
Who told you that? "Who has brainwashed you into thinking that "the Arabs have become cheering or silent spectators" "200+ million....and they are doing nothing.." You are spreading Z i0 nist propaganda. You are trying to spread this not proven fact for the sake of "Grea ter 15 sr4el" Stop doing that. The Z i0 nist and their western Allie s want to escalate the tension in the Mid east by trying to turn the citizens against their governments. Stop spreading this false lie for the sake of the ene my. Unless you work for them ofc. Are you a haß vara tr 0ll by any chance?
The Arab leaders are compromised by their dependence up US weapons. The Arab people in their streets are enraged and it is that rage that is keeping the Arab leaders from opening helping the USA and Israel.

It's funny because the more literally civilized people are, the less figuratively "civilized" they tend to act... Maybe we're wrong to attach the idea of civilization to qualities like humanity, empathy etc.
@@penyarol83 the qualities you mention, humanity and empathy are the cornerstones of civilization. Whithout, a civilization devolves and whatever passes for civilization is hollow and amounts to consumerist trappings.
@@FrancoisMouton-iu7jt I actually think civilizations by definition suffer from a lack of those qualities. Surprisingly, it is actually hunter-gatherer societies that have a high level of those pro-social qualities, and civilizations that as a rule are degraded from that original state of health and wholeness and show increasing levels of violence and social dysfunction. See, e.g. Dr. Peter Gray's article "How Hunter-Gatherers Maintained Their Egalitarian Ways."
Thank you Katie ,I 'm Italian and I follow you from my country .I have to say that I have never been so ashamed and horrified by the decisions of my government and the EU . Thank you to these two noble ,courageous men for their moral stand, and for these powerful and moving experiences they recalled . They really restore my faith in humanity .❤
Mr. Finkelstein I admire you for your humanity at your own expense. I can't express with words for all you have done for the sake of humanity. It is very humbling to see your selflessness..
I couldn’t thank Katie Halper and Dr Norman and the guests and commentators for all the hard work and time and effort for peace. As your biggest fans we will never forget your role in peace.
As an Iranian I am very glad that everybody now can see the AnsarAllah (aka Houthis) as what they are, an independent resistant group supported by Yemenis to do what is moraly correct.
May Allah have mercy on the Yemeni, Ameen. They make me cry with their honour. What a noble people, pious people. They are stopping everything going to Apartheid Israel, everything else is going through but what ever is heading to Apartheid Israel.
Really appreciate you guys having these discussions. The Pepsi bottle story brought tears to my eyes, not forgetting the elderly women rushing out to retrieve the boy.
This made me cry. I am a man of 45 years, palestinian, and my dad's family are refugees in a camp called jalazom. In the first intifada i was a young person then but i remembered even when i thought i forgot the terrible things then. As dr finkelstein was telling the stories about those terrible days in that refugees camp. Oh, do i feel guilt for I survived while other did not. oh, do i feel even more in exiled living in the Midwest while seeing my people butcher with bombs, thirst, and hunger. I want to thank all of you who are more brave than I, for stand up to evil. Specially none zionest jewish people, for i believe that we together palestinians and jewishs can and should stop this madness. And perhaps we can have a country that is imperfect and wonderful and normal where we all can be truly equals.
