Has Finkelstein called Israel’s war a genocide? Because if you ctrl + f “genocide” in the article, the author doesn’t attempt to “debunk” the claims of genocide.

Granted this was a month after the October 7 attacks, but the nerd hasn’t posted anything since. And I coincidentally came across this person because I was reading his article on his Chase account being hacked.

"destroyed his own career"

what a cowardly and disgusting way to describe what was character assassination and attempted censure of Finkelstein on behalf of known pedo Dershowitz et al.

I am glad that Finkelstein seems to be coming into a sort of renaissance with the renewed Gaza coverage. He has a refreshing approach to the Palestinian resistance, namely his resolve to find the truth of a matter and not to sugarcoat or bullshit about it is commendable.

Having the enormous brass balls to say "you've destroyed your reputation by mentioning that your parents were in the Holocaust" in the defense of Israel is such a fucking trip.

[-] MolotovHalfEmpty@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago

Especially when he basically never used to do it until the Zionist lobby started going after him for his work while baselessly calling him a Nazi and Kapo. They then went after his deceased mother with a smear campaign claiming she worked with the Nazis.

[-] panopticon@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

That is absolutely disgusting. Zionists (NOT Jewish people, for anyone lurking) are such depraved fascist scumbags.

[-] MolotovHalfEmpty@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

Yup, shit like that is exactly why all the Zionist 'crocodile tears' to borrow a phrase Finkelstein famously used are such obvious bullshit. If Zionism ever was built out of concern stemming from and a deep cultural wound from the Holocaust it sure as shit hasn't been for thr last thirty years. It's a cudgel to hit people with for Zionists, that's it. Imagine claiming Holocaust victims and survivors are the most sacred loss and then smearing one of them as a Nazi collaborator because someone pushed back on your most extreme arguments.

That’s fucked. The Zionist here claims Finkelstein is a holocaust denier for comparing Israelis to Nazis but Zionists are out here literally changing the history of the holocaust victims lol. If that’s not denialism then I’m a god damn billionaire.

"Israel-Hamas War" is a blatant fucking lie and always has been. From the very beginning Hamas has been the excuse for Israel to attack basically anyone in the Middle East they think they can get away with, including all of Palestine and a few strikes outside as well.

Why don't you place those scarecrows in the Knesset or anywhere in Israel and do that?

War on Terror brains. A war on a thing that isn't a nation is just a war against another nation with a tacky excuse.

finkelstein is such a hero. he's a real role model

Gaza is a prison that contains a specific ethnic or cultural group.

The concentration camps were prisons that contained a specific ethnic or cultural group.

What's the problem here? You don't want it to be called a concentration camp? Stop blockading it.

[-] AlicePraxis@hexbear.net 36 points 1 year ago

this guy writes like a high school freshman trying to pad out an essay

So do 90% of "professional" op-ed writers

[-] flan@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

Furthermore, Finkelstein's pants butt smells like poopy butthole. In conclusion what he is saying is not credible due to the above mentioned points: his dead parents, his disgusting, antisemitic hatred of Israel, and his poopy butthole smelling pants.

[-] MiraculousMM@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

Every day I read complete garbage from these hacks and wonder why I never pursued a career in Opinion-Having

"Finklesteins career is destrpyed, you can tell because I'm writing an entire op Ed about how non relevant he is."

[-] SoyViking@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

The Gaza Strip was created by the zionist occupiers to detain, restrict and control the unwanted native population of Palestine. It is a textbook example of a concentration camp.

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

Unless it's literally Aushwitz then it's totally normal and fine.

Douglas Murray said this? He's the guy who believes there's a global communist Islamic Caliphate with the goals of destroying the white gene pool. Which would be pretty cool I guess

[-] determinism2@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

Thank you for reading my essay on fascist dorks. All societies throughout human history have produced their own fascist dorks and Douglas Murray's society is no exception to this rule that I've invented because he is, as such, such a fascist dork.

[-] Justice@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 1 year ago

Would love to know what dodgy-ass fake medical school this guy claims to have to graduated from because ain't no way any self respecting real doctor would be posting like this under their real name, claiming to be a doctor, and hope to keep their job. Just openly lying, typing like a bunch of self-censored words you can imagine, and trying to back up lies with two probably also lied about letters.

[-] lil_tank@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Isn't doctor a title you can wear if you get any PhD? Because in the US you can totally get a PhD in parroting CIA talking points without too much hassle (and rich parents)

[-] SoyViking@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

Doctor is an academic title but it is also used as a colloquial term for a physician or a surgeon. You can have a doctorate without working as a doctor and you can work as a doctor without having a doctorate.

It looks like he might be a neurologist in New York. That looks like the same picture. Unless medium doesn't verify who writes for them or something.

[-] Nationalgoatism@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

TRUE, but MD is generally used as an abbreviation for medical doctor or doctor of medicine

Yes. I’m sure it’s the same everywhere. But if you ever see some “doctor” on the home page of YouTube with some title like “you’ll never believe what THIS medicine will do!”, it 98% of the time a chiropractor wearing scrubs like he’s some surgeon lol

[-] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

Finkelstein is kind of a psycho, but not for opposing a reenactment of the Holocaust.
