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 27 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

They then went after his deceased mother with a smear campaign claiming she worked with the Nazis.

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.

dril planting scare crows with green headbands in the middle of large crowds and then screaming "hamas!" as I turn the place into a new parking lot for my future offshore gas facility

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.

[–] carpoftruth@hexbear.net 40 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 33 points 1 year ago

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.

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

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago

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

[–] flan@hexbear.net 14 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.

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

[–] nohaybanda@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

That career track is only open to failsons and daughters with the highest vampiric pedigree

  1. You don't have some of the worst opinions known to man
  2. You don't have an uncle who were owed a favour by an editor

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

I can't wait for the day when everyone openly hates Zionists

[–] HauntedBySpectacle@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We get closer every day! It's gone so much faster than I ever would have expected a year or two ago

[–] SoyViking@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The western propaganda machine is formidable but there are only so many mutilated bodies of civilians you can see before you become open to the idea that the people responsible are the baddies.

Absolutely, especially when those bodies are in a clearly occupied territory, not in a scary, sovereign state

[–] SoyViking@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

Finding an unhinged Medium post is kinda cheating.

A third of this website is twitter screenshots, I think it's just following the rules of the game

I'm surprised this isn't in the dunk tank.

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

Damn this is just bad writing lmao

[–] determinism2@hexbear.net 9 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.

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

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