Follow on TwitterVideo: 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:
- Reporters’ Questions On Gaza-Bound Flotilla Stump US State Dept Spokesperson
- What The Osama Bin Laden Video Reveals As Impetus For Terrorism: Israel
- Obama’s Veto of UN Resolution On Settlements Harms His Own Standing in World
- Israel’s Dahiya Doctrine Undermines Its ‘Collateral Damage’ Claims In Gaza
- U.S. Efforts To Undermine Goldstone Report Diminishes Its Own Standing In World

Finkelstein does a great job as usual. The only problem he has is that he speaks too slow. He needs to be able to speak his point quicker so that he doesnt get cut off before he makes his point. For example I wish he was able to finish his quoting of one of Benny’s “other hats”. Otherwise Finkelstein clearly won this one.
