THE SIDE OF HAMAS THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO SEE!
July 1, 2024Political scientist, Normal Finkelstein, EXPOSES Israel for their complete rejection of international law, and highlights how they have been THE OBSTACLE to resolving the “conflict” between the Jordan River and the Meditteranean.
“If Hamas was the obstacle, why weren’t they able to settle the conflict before they were elected into office? Because they refused the terms of the international community.”
For so long, the powerful Western narrative has dominated our understanding, leading us to view them as upholders of international law. They designate those who don’t abide by the “rules-based order” as terrorists and disrupters in the world. Only now is the world realising how the West have been wolves in sheep’s clothing.
Change the narrative! Expose them!

English Script:
Norman Finkelstein: Well because any talks or any resolution the conflict has to be based on international law, and the law is clear. There’s a tenant, a basic principle of international law, and it’s inadmissible to acquire territory by war. Israel acquired the Golan Heights new course of the June 1967 war, and therefore, under international law, it has no title to any of the Golan Heights, there has to be a full Israeli withdrawal the pre-June 4 1967 border, that’s a precondition, you can’t resolve any conflict unless there are basic principles and the principles for resolving the Israel-Palestine conflict or Israel-Syria conflict has to be international law.
Adam Holm: Just a couple of days ago, Israel’s deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon, paid a visit to our studio, just listen to what he said, just coming right up.
Danny Ayalon: Hamas is the real enemy of peace. Hamas is the enemy of the Palestinian interests. By the way, Hamas does not represent Palestinian interests, but Iranian interests. They’re being helped and supplied and financed and equipped by Iran with the same ideology of Sharia, you know, of a very, very radical Islamist, entity.
Adam Holm: It’s pretty clear what he’s saying. The onus rests with Hamas or Khamas, as he calls it. What’s your take on this?
Norman Finkelstein: Well, it’s not as if Hamas has been around since eternity. The Israelis had the option of settling the conflict with the Palestinians before January 2006, when Hamas was elected into office. If Hamas is the obstacle, then why weren’t they able to settle the conflict before Hamas was elected into office? Because they refused the terms of the international community every year, as it happens in November this month. The international community votes on the resolution, the United Nations General Assembly to settle the conflict, and every year, the vote is the same, the whole world on one side, 161 nations last year, and then there are the United States, Israel, Naru, Palau, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia and sometimes Australia on the other side. The problem is not Hamas, Hamas has repeatedly said that it’s willing to settle the conflict in the June 67 border.
Adam Holm: But still they refuse to recognize the state of Israel.
Norman Finkelstein: Well, they refuse to recognize what they called the legitimate sea of the State of Israel. But under international law, they’re not obliged to recognize the legitimacy of the State of Israel. If you go back, for example, 1947, Gandhi said he’ll accept the reality of Pakistan, but he would never accept the legitimacy of the State of Pakistan. And the Hamas is not, it’s not expected to be held to a higher level of diplomacy than Gandhi. Gandhi said Pakistan is a reality, which I’m forced to accept, but I don’t accept it as legitimate. And that’s the same position of Hamas, they said they will settle the conflict in the June 67 border.
