RSS FeedsVideo: Norman Finkelstein Exposes Benny Morris As Propagandist
Here’s a heated debate on Russian Television (h/t Mondoweiss) between Norman Finkelstein and Israel’s ‘famed historian’, Benny Morris.
Finkelstein, as always, displays an impressive command of the facts, leaving Morris looking frazzled for much of the debate. On Gaza, for instance, Finkelstein cites the details of the Goldstone Report (details which had been cross-corroborated by all the major Human Rights groups) to make his case while Morris conversely interjects with filibusters and flimsy, unsubstantiated claims:

CNN: Israel Ethnically Cleansing Palestinians From Jerusalem At Fastest Rate In History!
A startling story by CNN shows how Israel has ramped up its Zionist policies of cleansing Palestinians from East Jerusalem. Israel’s Ministry of Interior reported that in 2008 alone, Israel revoked residency permits of 4,577 Palestinians, originally from East Jerusalem. Compare that 2008 number with the number of Palestinians — 8,558 total — who had been cleansed from that same part of Jerusalem the preceding 40 years (between 1967 and 2007).
Israeli law strips Palestinians of their Jerusalem residency if they acquire residency or citizenship in another country. This law does not apply to Israeli Jews, who commonly enjoy dual citizenships and residencies in other countries. Israeli officials contend that Palestinians are always welcome to come back to Jerusalem as tourists.
