Piers Morgan, Norman Finkelstein, and Fleur Hassan-Nahoum Discuss Lies About Hamas
November 30, 2024He SILENCED the panel!
Norman Finkelstein, a Jewish-American political scientist, refutes Piers Morgan’s fabrications about Hamas.
“None of the reports have claimed that the catastrophe, the economic catastrophe in Gaza has been caused by Hamas, none. Now, if you claim that you have more expertise on the subject than the IMF and the world Bank and UNCTAD, well, you can believe that. I personally don’t believe that.”

English Script:
Piers Morgan: Hamas was given billions of dollars, a lot of it encouraged by Netanyahu, given billions of dollars, which they did in fact squander, which they did squander to the detriment of their people, which they did by building all these tunnels. And which they did in the end when they invaded Israel, October the 7th, they knew absolutely what would happen. And therefore, in that moment, they sentenced to death tens of thousands of their own people. Would you quibble with that?
Fleur Hassan-Nahoum: And don’t forget, their leaders are billionaires.
Norman Finkelstein: I will actually, with all due respect, because I respect the facts. I’ll quibble with everything you said. Number one, the money that went into Gaza, mostly from European countries and other international organizations, they monitored where the money went very carefully. They weren’t about to endow Hamas. There’s no evidence.
Piers Morgan: How did Hamas build all the tunnels?
Fleur Hassan-Nahoum: It’s not true. They don’t have one penny of accountability, not one penny of accountability.
Piers Morgan: I’ll come to you to respond.
Norman Finkelstein: Allow me.
Piers Morgan: I would channel both of you, but don’t shout at each other.
Fleur Hassan-Nahoum: Not one penny of accountability.
Norman Finkelstein: European governments and many of the international economic organizations, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, UNCTAD, UN Conference of Trade and Development, they all put out on the probably a quarterly basis, very precise reports on Gaza. None, and I’ve read all the reports over 10 or 20 years now, 17 years. None of the reports have claimed that the catastrophe, the economic catastrophe in Gaza has been caused by Hamas, none. Now, if you claim that you have more expertise on the subject than the IMF and the world Bank and UNCTAD, well, you can believe that. I personally don’t believe that. The claim of all of these international respected organizations is the main source, the root cause of the catastrophe in Gaza prior to October 7th. The root cause has been the medieval blockade that Israel imposed on it and which Human Rights Watch just in November 2024, a month ago, Human Rights Watch described as, “a crime against humanity”.
