I challenge Netflix to explain why they didn’t play the tape recording that confirms my wife and daughter were gang-banged by Jeffrey Epstein and the L.A. Rams right in front of me while I was wearing my underwear. normanfinkelstein.com/2020/07/06/i-c

Bovine Bari, we need you. (Of course, she’s too busy writing her new best-selling comic book on how she was oppressed at the NY Times, while shining her silver “fuck-me” shoes and Gypsy earrings for her next interview with Cool Jake Tapper.) normanfinkelstein.com/2020/11/25/bov

As Professor Dershowitz’s slime rating rises into the stratosphere, let’s honor the all-round sacks of shit who sang his praises. Of course, they knew nothing. Nobody knew anything. (1/2)

Where is the Arab pride? Where is Islam? Where are the two holy places (Mecca and Medina)? Where are the clans? Where are the tribes? Where are these swords with which they dance? Where is their honor? Not a single word! Not a single word! (Sayed Hassan Nasrallah)

The UN reports that Gaza is literally “unlivable”: 97 percent of the water is contaminated; electricity is available only four hours per day; 60 percent of young people are unemployed; 50 percent of essential medicines are unavailable #GazaSiegeCrime

FB & Twitter have announced that they will ban Holocaust denial from their platforms. In a forthcoming book, Cancel Culture, Academic Freedom, and Me, I argue that Holocaust denial should be taught in university and preferably by a Holocaust denier. normanfinkelstein.com/2020/10/21/why

Except, everyone who wanted to know knew everything. Pinker just provided Dershowitz a little expert assistance to get Epstein off. What’s wrong with that? Dershowitz asked Pinker to parse the verbs “rape” and “sodomize.” (2)

How could Pinker have suspected anything? Pity Whore in Chief , Justice Elena Kagan, and Fat Face Jeffrey Toobin didn’t make it on this panel. It’s such a stunning family portrait of the Ghouls and Monsters.(3) normanfinkelstein.com/2020/08/13/as-

BBC reports that “At least 41 Palestinians have been killed and 1,800 wounded by Israeli troops in clashes on the Gaza border”. Isn’t it odd that only Palestinians get killed and wounded in these “clashes”? normanfinkelstein.com/2018/05/14/bbc

I appealed YouTube’s decision to censor Sana Kassem’s video on Gaza demos. What I wrote: Why was the video removed? Please give explicit explanation. I am unaware of any violation. If Israel doesn’t like pics of dead children, UN rep tweeted: “Stop killing them”.

“As it did in the past, Hamas is offering a long-term cease-fire — known in Arabic as “hudna” — in return for a lifting of the blockade. It conveyed such a proposal to Israel several weeks ago through Egyptian and Qatari channels, but Israel ignored it.” normanfinkelstein.com/2018/05/23/as-

W​hat sets apart Gaza from Gandhi and Martin Luther King is not that children ​participate in the Gaza marches, but that unlike the British in India, and the White racists in the American south, only Israel targets and kills innocent children in demonstrations

On June 1, an Israeli assassin poised on the perimeter of Gaza concentration camp murdered a 21-year-old paramedic named Razan al-Najjar. Responding directly to her murder, UK Representative Karen Pierce told the UN: “We condemn .." May you burn in hell normanfinkelstein.com/2018/06/04/on-

“But they are, in essence, caged in a toxic slum from birth to death; deprived of dignity; dehumanized by the Israeli authorities to such a point it appears officials do not even consider that these men and women have a right, as well as every reason, to protest.”

Today marks the centenary of my Mother’s birth. To commemorate the occasion, I am posting an excerpt from a memoir I never completed. Although a snob in her musical tastes (we only listened to the classical music station at home), I am linking to 3 of her favorite pop songs. (1)

Full clip of Kim Johnson MP apologising "unreservedly" for her comments at #PMQs describing the Israeli government as "fascist" and calling it an "apartheid state". I understand the apology follows a meeting with the Labour Chief Whip.

Watch the whore’s whore, Dean of Harvard Law School MARTHA MINOW [at 8:16] praise Dershowitz’s principled defense of Palestinians! No professor leaves his cushy position until he’s taken out in a box. Why then did Dershowitz retire early? (2)
