Norman Finkelstein is one brave master at detecting, articulating in detail and clarifying the truth. It is a privilege to have access to his expertise, presented with uncanny humor. BRAVO!

Admire your intellect and courage to speak on behalf of the injustice which the world has inflicted on the Palestinians, your voice is one I have followed years, though I am perplexed that you deem it worthy of your time to spend so much effort to eviscerate Sam Harris, Who in my opinion has recently been doing very well at revealing himself to be a racists ignoramus. .. Thank-you for being a voice of conscious !

I find this article one of Norman Finkelstein's best in part because I grew up surrounded by scholars of many religions, my father for one. I would be curious to know how Sam Harris has lately revealed himself to be an ignoranus -- I mean to the world. To you and me it is obvious. It seems to me his views have been increasingly taken very seriously as have those of the "Son of Hamas', Mosab Youssef Hassan, a spy for Israel who has converted to Christianity and endlessly speaks for Israel by condemning Islam. We agree on Norman Finkelstein's courage, intellect and voice of conscience. In solidarity.

You have changed my mind, Yes, I have to agree, , there is need for Norman. Finkelstein to revile the fallacy of Sam Harris`s arguments, just as I needed your help. thank-you

I can hear Mr Finklesteins voice while I read this funny but scary piece, where do I go to escape persecution in this world smh. I feel so deeply that they are going to start putting Muslims in concentration camps in this country soon .

And after that, the rest of us.

Oh, what are their many hours of gatherings, characterized by "debates", with Jordan Peterson worth! Yes , and with such "moderators" as Bret Weinstein and Douglas Murray. Of course, it would be possible to characterize this action more decently on my part, but I did not come up with anything more flattering than "narcissists sniffing each other's asses." By the way, Sam Harris, positions himself as a neurophysiologist, is engaged in Vipassana meditation (Yuval Harari is also a fan of this school). A very one-sided "atheist".

I think Sam Harris unfortunately banged his head when he was a baby or some such similar.

For most of our lives, we have been propagandized into believing that Muslims are the bane of the West. They are culturally different for sure, but the cause of their anger has been and remains Israeli policy and their thoroughly bought and paid for servants, the U.S. government.

I am very grateful for Norman Finkelstein. As always his prose is clear, comprehensive, and brilliant at exposing the hypocrisies that lay at the heart of our so-called civilization. It is a dirty job to have to expose these charlatans for what they are. Few are up to the challenge and none like Norman.

It is a repulsive job. It’s hard enough to endure the existence of such unconscious idiots as Harris. But to have the commitment and tenacity to actually watch an entire program where he is a guest who’s allowed to empty the bile from his brain is not for pansies; it’s the work of a dedicated hero.

Thank you Mr Finkelstein for just keeping it reaal 🇮🇱 🇵🇸

Written December 2023! I'm so glad I happened upon this excellent skewering of the loathsome Savant Jew (yes utterly redundant), the godless atheist (again redundant) fool. Good job Mr. Finkelstein. Good job.

Also, all the Christian Palestinian churches-.Orthodox, Baptist, Roman Catholic in Gaza are gone. Because “…human shields.”. Israel also illegally entered both Lebanon and Syria (stealing even more land from Syria, including Mt Hermon), because “….human shields.”. Netanyahu probably claims his wife’s financial malfeasance is because “…human shields.”. Judgement Day will be most unpleasant.

This is how vacuous the fascists have become. As long as you have a hoi polloi and you extol the Jewish murderous hatred and you feel no shame about being a vile human being, you are a self-evident expert. Thank you Prof Finkelstein for enlightening me once again.

Harris needs to be notice…he can’t help himself. People like him makes people that are atheist or deist look bad.

Sam Harris is nothing but a glib motormouth automaton serving his Hasbara masters, not having had a single original thought in years.

Sam Harris has been problematic since day one. In his very first book The End of Faith he criticized Bush's war on terror on the grounds that it wasn't militant enough. He was already contemplating the possible use of nuclear weapons against Muslim countries. And he defended the use of torture, making use of the ticking time bomb argument which while not invented by Alan Dershowitz, was certainly popularized by him.
