Douglas Murray DESTROYS Norman Finkelstein on Israel Hamas War (youtube.com)
Comment to this video: "As someone who has been to Gaza several times with medical teams and has knowledge about the conflict in the area. In Gaza there are hotels, resorts, luxury restaurants, and luxury car dealerships. There are many poor people (like most of the Muslim countries in the region that do not have oil). And there are hundreds of thousands who enter every year to work in Israel and tens of thousands more who enter the Egyptian neighborhood in order to fly abroad from there. Somehow I don't remember reading about such conditions in prisons or concentration camps. But anyone who has some understanding of the conflict understands that the Palestinians simply throw out slogans like -Prison, genocide, apartheid, etc.. They know that 90% of the world today will not check what they say, as long as enough people shout the same thing, and give them a like for it."
"I agree with Douglas. It would be like engaging in a debate with a flat-earth believer who insists the Earth is flat despite being presented with infinite amounts of objective evidence. It would be a waste of your time. Israel is on the right side of history."
"The trouble is that Norman Finkelstein is a superb debater, and with a combination of unwavering self belief, false equivalences and oratory flare, he is able to defeat almost anyone. I saw him eviscerate someone at a debate in Cape Town many years ago. At the time his arguments seemed so powerful and obvious. But the moment I got home and actually researched his positions and thought about them, they turned to sand. A dangerous man."
