Thank you Dr Finkelstein for your clear presentations based on historical facts. I am not a college student but a mother with a toddler and I hope you can continue to share your honest findings to the public and for many generations to come ❤.

Nat Turner died (hanged) in Jerusalem, Virginia U.S. Strange synchronicity.

May God reward you the strength to continue speaking the truth

You’re a king Norman.

Great Humanist

There is nothing subhuman about fighting for your liberty, freedom, and basic right to life.

To me, October 7th was more of a prison revolt.

Did the slave leaders have billions of dollars at their disposal like the leaders of Hamas did, (thanks to Quatar)?

WOW, Thank you Norman

Thank you Sir

Norm, you have mentioned in at least one other interview about writing an essay on the Cherokee “Trail of Tears”. Is that paper posted on your website?

❤

Good analogy. With one caveat. The Gazans want to return to their land, just as much as they want freedom.

❤️❤️❤️

Although not directly related to the topic at hand. I find it interesting to see posts, recently, condemning the Bolshevik revolution, calling it non-Russian, and lamenting the Romanovs demise. And at the same time supporting the Palestinian cause. At any case, without historical context and understanding of all sides, it's seems unwise to make final judgements. One may judge the actions, not the actors.

Agreed. Even with historical context, say with ancient history, we cannot truly condemn the actors. We don't have to align with them. We may believe some of them were megalomaniacs. But to condemn them as actors in order to prove that we're somehow better makes no sense to me.

WHAT ABOUT OUR OWN WAR OF INDEPENDENCE

All those thugs damaging private property

yesterday i liked this video and left a comment, now i came back, no like, there is no comment. wierd! im gonna write it again.

Thank you Mr Norman for saying the way it is!

I'm new to this professor... openly exploring... if I don't agree, will people condemn me? Perhaps that is what drives people away from whatever opinion someone holds... the condemnation if one disagrees. Does the left really believe that condemning people with different opinions will change a person's mind?

I doubt it. I think people say what they feel compelled to say. Due to a huge push to answer the question "Do you condemn H__?" we begin to wonder whether we should straight up say we condemn both. And of course grapple with all the feelings associated with that.

@@carolea7158 How can we not condemn people (both sides) that kill innocent civilians? So, we are in agreement. What about "bystanders"? People that had no part in murder but have an opinion. Should we condemn them if we disagree? I say "no." They are free to hold an opinion. If we condemn, we cannot have free exchange of ideas.

​@@danieljhf7301it's not a requirement that we have free exchange of ideas or not take sides. It doesn't prevent life from going on even if some folks think of others as morally reprehensible, or at least questionable, for holding certain opinions that they condemn. . I believe in some cases throughout history, it is more natural to actually take a side clearly and unapologetically, of course based on facts and context, as well as your personal experience. Like many examples of rebellions throughout history, including the one professor norman used in this video. Things are not 1s and 0s all the time, as you know. . For example, I personally think every deeath of the french coloniizers that were using and abusing my country was warranted, both combatants and bystanders (who were benefiting of the collonization even if they did not commit atrocities by their own hands). Most probably jeewish people thought the same of the germans after WW2. And to palestinians and many of the people in solidarity with them, they could have a similar perspective and I would not fault them for it one bit. Yes it would be justifying terrrorism, with a goal like scaring away every citizen of the settler coloniaal apartheiid regime, innocent or not.. but if they have no other choice after trying everything else, and if they believe that's the only possible way to free their people and their land as other nations did before them, then it is valid.
