Roots, History and Future of the Israeli Palestinian Conflict

Norman Finkelstein explains how what's often presented as a complicated problem isn't that complicated and why it still hasn't been resolved despite a consensus exisiting for 40 years. In his words the facts on the ground are pretty well known these days but these truths are being overlooked...

i've tried to watch this a coupla times but circumstances keep interupting, have only got halfway through the first one but so far . . .

the concepts he's discussed about weighing up 'given' information, distrusting the 'experts' and discovering and admitting your beliefs are wrong/flawed are very interesting.

i look forward to getting through the rest of it, the actual history!

i lived in tel aviv and jerusalem 12 years ago, at the height of the peace process and the level of brainwashing on all sides made me really sad

"you've really gotta watch these muslims, they'll kill you in your bed soon as look at you . . . shame, i'm sure they're really nice people if only they wern't so brain washed"

FFS! I looked at her, an she just really did not get it!
