Text Quotes
I don’t claim to know Israel. I don’t speak Hebrew; my contacts are pretty limited. But I didn’t know Vietnam; I didn’t know Nicaragua, El Salvador or Honduras. It doesn’t mean you can’t reach your conclusions.  (Norman Finkelstein Quotes) Insofar as Zionism sought to solve the Jewish question, it must be reckoned not just a failure but a catastrophe: Israel is the main cause of anti-Semitism in the world today.  (Norman Finkelstein Quotes) Why should Americans go on with their lives as normal, worrying about calories and hair loss, while other people are worrying about where they are going to get their next piece of bread?  (Norman Finkelstein Quotes) I earn - I’m not - I don’t want to claim I’m a scholar of great stature, but I have made a certain reputation for myself, I’ve published several books, I’ve never been able to get a permanent teaching job.  (Norman Finkelstein Quotes) The real goal of politics has to be getting people to act on what they already know was wrong  (Norman Finkelstein Quotes) No doubt one can, in light of further study and life experience, come to repudiate past convictions.  (Norman Finkelstein Quotes) I focus on my work. If I let myself get distracted by the insults and slanders I wouldn’t get anything substantive done.  (Norman Finkelstein Quotes) People have to liberate themselves, because liberation is not a single act. It’s a question of eternal vigilance. Otherwise, you’ll just become enslaved by someone else.  (Norman Finkelstein Quotes) I think one of the problems when we discuss the Israel-Palestine conflict is people talk too much in terms of, ‘What’s your preference?,’ like politics is a Chinese menu - I’ll take one from column A and two from column B. That’s not what politics is about.  (Norman Finkelstein Quotes) People are motivated by the desires for privilege, for power, for profit. Those are not shocking revelations. Anyone who’s had any experience in life knows these things.  (Norman Finkelstein Quotes) People have the right to defend their country from foreign occupiers, and people have the right to defend their country from invaders who are destroying their country.  (Norman Finkelstein Quotes) I don’t feel particularly attached to Israel - ‘nationalism,’ as Noam Chomsky said, ‘is not my cup of tea’ - but I feel no particular need to demonize it.  (Norman Finkelstein Quotes) My original interest in the Nazi holocaust was personal. Both my father and mother were survivors of the Warsaw Ghetto and the Nazi concentration camps. Apart from my parents, every family member on both sides was exterminated by the Nazis.  (Norman Finkelstein Quotes) Both my father and mother were survivors of the Warsaw Ghetto and the Nazi concentration camps. Apart from my parents, every family member on both sides was exterminated by the Nazis.  (Norman Finkelstein Quotes) I think that people like Bloomberg, they’re complete thugs. No question about it. But on the other hand, it must be said that they are politically savvy. They don’t get into those positions of power - in the case of Bloomberg, both economic and political power - by being anybody’s fool.  (Norman Finkelstein Quotes) I don’t want to become a rhetorical speaker. My effectiveness is mastering all of the data and being able to respond.  (Norman Finkelstein Quotes) The whole purpose of annual reviews is to keep you abreast of whether or not you are fulfilling the requirements of tenure.  (Norman Finkelstein Quotes) There are contradictory tendencies in American society. There’s a huge range of activities that one can engage in that mark it as a quite free society. It’s also true to say that the powers that be have so much control over how people think that there are fewer and fewer people who make use of the rights and information available to them.  (Norman Finkelstein Quotes) Israel has been a stage on which American Jews have played out their fantasies of toughness - often from Martha’s Vineyard.  (Norman Finkelstein Quotes) There is no way a non-Jew could say what I did in ‘The Holocaust Industry’ without being labelled a Holocaust denier. I am labelled a Holocaust denier, too  (Norman Finkelstein Quotes) Each of the various tactics that have been tried to get Israel to budge.. nonviolent resistance, legal accountability, BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions).. has had some measure of success  (Norman Finkelstein Quotes) Goldstone has done terrible damage to the cause of truth and justice and the rule of law. He has poisoned Jewish-Palestinian relations, undermined the courageous work of Israeli dissenters and-most unforgivably-increased the risk of another merciless IDF assault  (Norman Finkelstein Quotes) The Zionists indeed learnt well from the Nazis. So well that it seems that their morally repugnant treatment of the Palestinians, and their attempts to destroy Palestinian society within Israel and the occupied territories, reveals them as basically Nazis with beards and black hats  (Norman Finkelstein Quotes) There’s nothing Israel can do without US support. It can’t breathe without US support. The US bankrolls everything, and it’s just silly to think that Israel can do anything without the support  (Norman Finkelstein Quotes) Judging by opinion polls, Israel has bigger problems than me. It is among the most hated countries on the planet. It should stop acting like a lunatic state. Once it carries on like a normal country, I will be happily redirect my energies elsewhere  (Norman Finkelstein Quotes) I focus on my work. If I let myself get distracted by the insults and slanders I wouldn’t get anything substantive done  (Norman Finkelstein Quotes) You know, frankly speaking, money just doesn’t figure largely in my world view  (Norman Finkelstein Quotes) War is not a means to an end, it is the end, whereas politics is merely the hiatus between wars  (Norman Finkelstein Quotes) People are motivated by the desires for privilege, for power, for profit. Those are not shocking revelations. Anyone who’s had any experience in life knows these things  (Norman Finkelstein Quotes) I’m politically on the left, no question about it. I oppose sweatshops, I oppose exploitation of labour in the third world  (Norman Finkelstein Quotes)
