Norman Finkelstein@normfinkelstein

CONSPIRACIES DO HAPPEN

The British Guardian reported today that Israeli secret services were blackmailing former ICC Chief Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda. Already four years ago I wrote a full book documenting Bensouda’s disgraceful record of whitewashing Israel.

It was perfectly obvious at the time that extra-legal pressures were being exerted on Bensouda. Indeed, I stated in the very last sentence of my book that Israel was bringing “to bear every squalid and sordid instrument in its arsenal” against the ICC. It was also obvious that extra-legal pressures were exerted on Richard Goldstone to recant his milestone report on Israeli crimes in Gaza, even as “Goldstone’s secret will perhaps never be revealed” (from my book Gaza: An Inquest into Its Martyrdom). It is also my considered opinion that ICC Judge Peter Kovacs was subject to extra-legal pressures or enticements and current ICJ Vice-President Julia Sebutinde has been subject to extra-legal pressures or enticements by Israel. At the very least, Israel has assisted their whitewashing endeavors. (The flagrant, shameful and shameless lie that former ICJ president Joan Donaghue uttered on BBC last month—she purported that the ICJ did not find that Israel was “plausibly” committing genocide in Gaza–was morally debased but almost certainly traced back to careerism and opportunism, not Israeli dirty tricks.) One of the redemptive aspects of the current horrible moment is that a lot of the dirt is finally coming out. It was, for example, always assumed, but couldn’t be proven, that a class of Jewish supremacist billionaires acting at Israel’s behest were exerting financial pressures on academia. The machinations of the Ackmans, Krafts, Sternlichts et al. have now been exposed. If the Harvard Corporation wouldn’t let the 13 anti-genocide students attend graduation, was it not because “he who pays the piper calls the tune”?

Larry Johnson: We’re at a transition point in world history. People throughout Asia, Africa, and Latin America are frankly sick and tired of being bullied by the US and up to this point they have not had an alternative. Now they do.

We’re at a transition point in world history. We’re at one of those inflection points that people in the future—hoping that there is a future to look for us—will look back at this moment and recognize that this was a watershed [moment]. This will be akin to what happened at the end of World War II. This is the beginning of the transformation of the international world order that up to now the United States has controlled and dominated.

There was a period during this when the United States actually believed in diplomacy. That was illustrated even with Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger figuring out how to open with China and recognize the One China Policy and work with China not as an enemy—while an adversary—but nonetheless something we could deal with.

And similarly, they could talk to the Soviets then—everybody from Nikita Khrushchev to Leonid Brezhnev and even Yuri Andropov. But now we’ve entered a phase where the United States is like a three-year-old child with a hammer. Everything looks like a nail and has to be hit. Our approach is, “If you don’t do what we want, we’re either going to try to affect a regime change, or we’re going to impose sanctions, or we’re going to attack you.” Those are the three options. There’s no other one to consider.

As a result of US actions both against Russia and against China, it’s created this momentum that is leading to the breakdown of that world order that so many US politicians like to talk about.

I think the trajectory of this is irreversible.

The United States will implode upon itself because right now it is pretending that it can project military force in three different theaters: Ukraine, the Middle East, and Asia against China.

And the reality is the United States military is probably at its weakest and most vulnerable level ever in its history… The US Navy is now completely vulnerable to the hypersonic missiles which China and Russia both have. And reportedly, Iran also. Which means those ships can’t get anywhere close to any of these potential conflict zones without being sunk.

We’re also seeing the limits of the power of the US Navy with respect to Yemen and the Houthis. We’re going on six months and the most powerful navy in the world, as we’re told, can’t stop a bunch of Houthis from firing missiles and shutting down the Red Sea. Why would anybody believe that the United States would be in a position to keep the Strait of Hormuz open in the event of an outbreak of war with Iran? What we’re seeing in the Red Sea is a preview of “Coming Attractions.”

The United States is spending liberally on an F-35 aircraft. $100 million apiece but only 29% of them can be operationally capable right now.

The United States has spent lots of money, adopted a very strident military perspective, and has really equipped itself to be an expeditionary military force, but no longer has the economic or industrial capacity to sustain that.

I don’t think the emergence of the Russia and China partnership is a temporary or passing phenomenon. I think it is historic. This will be looked back on in the future as the rise of the Global South.

People throughout Asia, Africa, and Latin America are frankly sick and tired of being bullied by the United States and up to this point they have not had an alternative. Now they do.

I think that’s one of the reasons we see the countries in the Sahel—Niger and Chad—telling the French “Beat it, get out! United States, So long! See you later!”

The United States can no longer offer beads and blankets to try to take territory.

We’re entering a new age.

And here’s the problem: I can’t identify a single political leader in the United States—anybody—that has any kind of public popularity that is capable of speaking out and acknowledging this reality. Instead, we’ve got the same old tired rhetoric of threats and condemnation.

People like myself who dare to speak up and try to explain what’s going on are called puppets of Putin.

I think we’re entering both a very dangerous time but out of this time of great peril comes great opportunity.

The western media has a short memory, and they know their people have an even shorter one. It wasn’t too long ago, 2014 to be exact that US media giant CNN was covering the genocide Ukraine was committing on it’s own people.

The west will never tell you that they used to cover the killing of civilians in the Donbas/ Donetsk by the Kiev regime. They won’t tell you that these people begged Russia to intervine and save them.

This is not Russian propaganda, it is history, your own news networks as seen below verified this. Now of course, the narrative has changed, they call Russia invaders, occupiers. It is proof of how uninformed the west is, how they are utterly controlled by western media narrative and how real journalism does not exist in the west. Just a network of media organizations owned by Blackrock and Vanguard just doing as they are told.

But there are those of us who remember, and we will blow the trumpet of truth.

In a recent interview with PoliticsJOE, Norman Finkelstein broke down misconceptions of Israeli society understood in the West – particularly around the popularity of the war on Palestinians and Benjamin Netanyahu.

Transkripzioa:

0:00

prime minister Netanyahu is the longest

0:03

lasting prime minister in Israeli

0:05

history it used to be benorian David

0:08

benorian the first Prime Minister but

0:11

that’s he’s been put in the shade

0:13

benorian by uh netan if you read the

0:17

liberal commentators or commentators in

0:20

the west there every few months they’re

0:24

predicting the end of netanyahu’s rule

0:27

it doesn’t happen because

0:31

Netanyahu he is a

0:33

reflection and a

0:37

representation of Israeli

0:39

Society he’s an

0:42

obnoxious

0:44

narcissistic Jewish

0:47

supremacist who thinks that only Jews

0:50

count in God’s Grand Design everybody

0:54

else the goyam as they’re called they

0:57

have no place in God’s Gra design except

1:01

where Israel decides to situate or place

1:07

them so the first fact is we have to

1:10

bear in mind he remains even now very

1:16

popular in Israel the claim is his

1:19

standing up to Iran has increased his

1:23

popularity but there a general rule

1:26

number

1:27

two Israel is a democracy

1:30

were it

1:32

true that his PO his policies were

1:36

unpopular another candidate would

1:39

emerge that’s the nature of a

1:41

democracy have you

1:44

heard of another

1:46

candidate who has emerged by

1:50

dissociating himself or

1:53

denouncing

1:54

uh netanyahu’s policies the answer is no

2:00

number three it’s not just the Israeli

2:05

state if you look at the Israel Society

2:10

I’m not talking about the uh

2:13

people at the Helm of the state the

2:17

Israeli Society

2:20

overwhelmingly overwhelmingly

2:23

supports the genocidal war in Gaza it’s

2:28

over it’s about 90

2:30

5% of the Jewish Israelis

2:34

95 I have the statistics right here even

2:39

I was I have to say I was a little

2:42

astonished when I read the latest

2:47

numbers

2:49

uh let’s

2:51

see about 60% of Israeli Jews oppose any

2:58

humanitarian Aid to Gaza but that’s the

3:02

question of the a I’m talking about the

3:06

War uh let’s

3:09

see give me one half

3:12

second here in PO on the issue of the

3:19

war on this issue of the war only

3:24

one

3:26

8% that was in October

3:31

7% that was in

3:34

December and

3:37

3.2% that’s

3:39

January of Jewish Israelis believed the

3:44

IDF was using too much Firepower in Gaza

3:48

do you hear those

3:50

percentages as of

3:53

January when already it’s reaching the

3:56

icj the international court of justice I

3:59

charges of

4:01

genocide only

4:04

3.2% of Jewish Israelis believe the

4:08

Israeli Defense Forces was using too

4:10

much Firepower in Gaza so when people

4:14

want to lay the blame for the insanity

4:18

on uh

4:21

Netanyahu that is I don’t say

4:25

gleefully I’m simply reporting it

4:28

objectively

4:30

that is a

4:32

misrepresentation of the facts if

4:35

there’s no political opposition to be

4:40

seen against

4:42

Netanyahu or substantive no leader to

4:47

emerge it’s

4:49

because the whole population agrees with

4:52

what Netanyahu is

4:55

doing if he were simply doing it as

4:58

Western commentators like to say because

5:01

the longer the war goes on the Le the

5:06

the more time it will take for

5:08

corruption charges to be lodged against

5:12

him and so he wants to stay out of jail

5:15

if any of that were

5:18

true the other Israeli generals and

5:21

Senior

5:23

officials would simply mount a

5:26

campaign on those grounds that he’s just

5:29

trying to protect himself they’re not

5:33

saying

5:34

that because they all agree with his

5:37

policies we have to be honest about that

5:40

they all agree with his policies that’s

5:44

the problem it’s a lunatic State and a

5:49

Lunatic Society and we should be as free

5:52

about saying that as we would say about

5:56

Nazi Germany beginning in around 1943

5:59

now Nazi Germany you could say there was

6:02

extenuating

6:03

circumstances what do I mean by that it

6:06

was a totalitarian state it did control

6:10

all the media and by

6:14

1943 the Germans are clearly beginning

6:17

to lose the war and in places like

6:22

Stalingrad uh

6:27

Leningrad thousands if not more

6:29

thousands of German soldiers are

6:32

freezing to death in the Snows the

6:35

winter the Russian

6:37

winter and also on the domestic front

6:42

there is new priv private privations

6:45

deprivations you know the um

6:49

um uh

6:52

restrictions uh the German government

6:54

because it’s losing the war are putting

6:55

on consumption and things like that okay

6:59

and totalitarian German media Nazi media

7:03

are saying it’s all the fault of the

7:05

judeo BOS conspiracy it’s the judeo

7:08

bolic conspiracy and they’re hearing it

7:10

over and over and over again so you can

7:14

understand I’m not excusing it I’m just

7:16

saying factually you can understand that

7:19

at some point they’ve gone crazy and

7:22

they hate the Jews and the Jews are

7:23

causing our soldiers to die in the

7:26

Eastern front and blah blah blah blah

7:28

blah this is not a totalitarian state

7:32

Israel probably has the highest usage of

7:35

the web per capita per capita of any

7:39

country in the world now you could say

7:41

it’s true the Israeli media are painting

7:43

a very false picture of what’s going on

7:45

in Gaza but you know you’re a young man

7:48

you know that most young people don’t

7:50

get their information from mainstream

7:52

media anymore they get it from the web

7:54

Israelis have are perfectly aware of

1:08

that call Gaza occupies your heart tell

1:10

us more about that why does Gaza occupy

1:13

your heart right now well first of all

1:15

I’m Jewish and I grew up with um a

1:18

personal history of um

1:21

suffering anti-Semitism and uh you know

1:25

the attempted genocide of Jews in

1:28

Eastern Europe my grandparents were

1:30

victims in aitz and my mother and I

1:32

almost were sent there when I was an

1:34

infant so suffering and what people do

1:37

to each other has been close to my heart

1:40

since childhood uh in my teenage years I

1:43

was a zist I believed in the dream of

1:46

the Jewish State being reborn in the

1:48

ancient Homeland until I realized that

1:51

this dream was accomplished by imposing

1:55

a nightmare on the local population of

1:58

Palestinians who had to be expelled and

2:00

killed and dispossessed and oppressed in

2:03

order to

2:05

realize the Jewish dream and ever since

2:08

then I’ve been very concerned with the

2:09

issue and more recently what’s been

2:11

going on there I have to say personally

2:14

from the emotional level it’s been the

2:16

heaviest darkest time of my life as an

2:18

adult for sure you were a child when

How is the war affecting the children of Gaza?

2:21

Israel was founded and for the

2:23

Palestinians when the Naka happened what

2:27

does it mean when you consider that in a

2:30

place like Gaza you have refugee camps

2:33

within this strip where children are

2:36

born into refugee camps as refugees

2:39

inheriting that status as refugees from

2:40

their parents their grandparents and

2:42

sometimes even their great grandparents

2:44

who were children around about your age

2:48

at that time in the 1940s tell me what

2:50

that does to shape individuals and and

2:53

the society well there was a study done

2:56

uh by an international psychiatric

2:58

research group back in

3:01

2005 that looked at the level of trauma

3:04

amongst Palestinian children and it was

3:07

very very high a lot of beding a lot of

3:11

nightmares a lot of anxiety a lot of

3:14

aggressive behaviors towards the parents

3:17

um the something like

3:20

97% of children had been affected by

3:22

some degree of trauma so that’s what it

3:25

means to be born behind a barb wire to

3:28

be bombed regularly as Gaza has been

3:30

over the years um not to be able to

3:33

leave to have no prospects whatsoever to

3:36

have parents who cannot protect you and

3:39

it’s a highly traumatized population and

3:42

they look across the bar wire and they

3:45

see the fields and the villages where

3:47

their grandparents and great

3:48

grandparents used to live and it it has

3:52

been called Gaza has been called by

3:55

Israeli historians and sociologists the

3:58

largest concentration camp in the world

4:00

and it’s very predictable what’s going

4:03

to happen when you raise children under

4:05

such

4:07

circumstances why do we cling so

Fear as a default human condition

4:10

ardently to our stories and our our

4:14

hatreds whichever whichever side of the

4:16

fence you’re on on

4:20

this well I think people are hurt on

4:23

both sides on all sides many people are

4:26

hurt in the world and when we’re hurt

4:28

our default setting is to go to fear and

4:32

fear makes our capacity to think

4:35

rationally to imagine the situation of

4:38

the other person to empathize very very

4:41

limited we’re thinking only about

4:43

defense and defense very often means

4:46

attacking others and that’s kind of a

4:48

default setting of human beings when

4:50

they perceive themselves as under attack

4:53

and uh politicians and leaders in every

4:57

country in the world know how to exploit

4:59

those Fe years and to make people

5:01

support aggressive policies and that’s

5:04

happened in Israel it happens all over

5:06

the world you’re right about our toxic

Linking toxic culture and colonization

5:09

culture and you can correct me if I am

5:14

wrong in in any way in trying to uh

5:16

Define it here but you talk about the

5:18

addictions that we have to consumerism

5:21

to prescription drugs to to hard drugs

5:24

to the internet to pornography to the

5:27

inequality in our societies racially and

5:29

economic and and

5:31

otherwise and the Mental Health crisis

5:34

that we have and this is nested inside

5:38

of I mean what you’re studying and a lot

5:40

of the data comes from sort of Western

5:42

liberal democracies right and is there

5:45

not an irony that a lot of these wars

5:48

are waged in the name of those societies

5:51

seen as civilization against other

5:54

societies that are that are deemed sort

5:55

of

5:57

inferior well there’s nothing new about

5:59

about that um colonialism has always

6:03

meant that um the colonialist or sees

6:08

the other person the other people as

6:11

inferior and it gives them the right to

6:14

rule over them and let’s face it um no

6:17

people and no civilization is immune to

6:20

that so um there were these great

6:23

Empires and and these Empires they

6:25

always have to believe that they’re

6:28

superior to the local people so that

6:31

that gives them the right to dominate

6:32

them that’s just how it works if you

How to deal with dehumanization in the modern age?

6:35

prick us do we not bleed if you tickle

6:36

us do we not laugh if you poison us do

6:38

we not die if you harm us do we not

6:41

Revenge you know from Merchant of Venice

6:43

right the dehumanization

6:45

shakespare writing about the perspective

6:47

From perspective of perspective of the

6:49

Jew saying hey I’m I’m a human like you

6:52

you know I I am like I’m bound to the

6:57

same sort of laws of uh and effect as

7:00

you are and there is this

7:02

dehumanization that takes place it it

7:05

happens with anti-Semitism and it

7:07

happens towards the Palestinians you

7:10

don’t you only have to look at what

7:13

benav and and smotrich and the others

7:15

have have been saying during during this

7:16

conflict how do you deal with this

7:19

dehumanization in this Modern Age

7:22

especially given that it has such an

7:24

impact on on populations as it spreads

7:26

through social media and otherwise

7:30

well it’s an epidemic isn’t it and by

7:31

the way benav you know everybody talks

7:33

about smish and benav but they’re just

7:36

uh the latest examples it’s been going

7:38

on in Palestine for 100 years and as

7:42

soon as you make a decision that one

7:45

people has the right to take over

7:47

somebody else’s land you’re going to

7:49

have this dehumanization so that didn’t

7:51

start with benav they’re just the most

7:53

extreme and latest um manifestations of

7:56

it but let’s look at world history over

8:00

the last several decades you know 20

The Iraq war

8:03

years ago or so you had the war in Iraq

8:07

where the Americans were quite content

8:10

to kill half a million Iraqi

8:13

civilians in the name of what was a

8:16

complete lie the weapons of mass

8:18

destruction but it was all about

8:20

domination wasn’t it it was all about

8:22

who gets to control the the Middle East

8:24

and uh so behind these slogans and

8:28

Behind These ologies there’s always some

8:31

kind of a imperial

8:34

imperative uh but imp Empires and

8:36

aggression always needs ideologies and

8:39

ideologies whether they’re you know the

8:42

ideology of the Nazi Germany or the

8:44

ideology of Western democracies or the

8:47

ideology of

8:48

Zionism they always need to justify

8:51

themselves and the fundament and and fun

8:54

so that this is this has been going on

8:57

forever and is going on now the only

8:59

problem is when we’re doing it we think

9:01

we’re Justified when other people are

9:03

doing it we see the uh the error we see

9:07

the falsehood it’s very difficult for

9:10

people to look at their own ideological

9:12

blind spots and to examine them open

9:16

minds there’s a petrol that is added to

Influence of apocalyptic religions

9:20

the flames in the Middle

9:23

East by the name of apocalyptic religion

9:28

do you think it’s a byproduct of what’s

9:30

been going on or it’s part of the root

9:36

causes

9:37

well every religion whether it’s Judaism

9:43

or whether it’s Christianity or whether

9:45

it’s Islam has got its beautiful aspects

9:48

its Universal aspects its capacity to

9:52

see Humanity its capacity to look behind

9:55

the individual ego to to see the

9:58

universality the Oneness of everything

10:01

but at the same time every religion also

10:04

has the potential to become tribal to

10:06

become aggressive to become possessive

10:09

to become

10:11

cruel and um this is true of again of

10:14

Islam of Christianity and also of

10:17

Judaism or any religion we wish to look

10:19

at now

10:21

um if you look at the Middle East the

10:26

fundamentalism that has been rising

10:28

there for decades

10:30

I think it’s a direct response

10:32

to history of colonialism in other words

10:36

um in the west we like to talk about

10:39

Islamic

10:42

fundamentalism but we don’t look at the

10:44

fact that the rise of fundamentalist

10:46

movements in the Middle East is very

10:48

much a reaction to what people

10:51

experience as um unfair oppression from

10:54

the west and so that the two are

10:56

connected the more you torment people

10:59

the more likely they are to go for

11:01

extreme Solutions that’s just how it

Role of childhood trauma in the decision-making of world leaders

11:04

works in your book you mention and

11:08

reference that magnificent scene from

11:11

Goodwill Hunting where the Robin

11:14

Williams character Shan the

11:17

psychiatrist tells Matt Damon Goodwill

11:20

well uh that it’s not your fault when

11:22

they’re talking about him being beaten

11:24

by his by his step stepdad and he says

11:26

it’s not your fault it’s not your fault

11:27

it’s not your fault and he he cracks him

11:29

open and I think when we when we look at

11:34

the geopolitics and the history of the

11:36

region we can we can chart a a course

11:40

when we look at the oppression the

11:43

dehumanization colonialism exploitation

11:45

and so on and so forth we can

11:46

contextualize a lot of it but I wonder

11:49

no matter how thinly you slice it at

11:51

what point do we also have to accept

11:54

that sort of personal agency of bad

11:57

leaders and

11:59

those in power

12:01

making worse choices than you know bad

12:05

choices choices that are worse than good

12:07

choices or should we should we relegate

12:13

the individual agency to a second

12:19

tier well look the the scene from

12:23

Goodwill Hunting that you quoted which

12:25

is between a therapist and a client and

12:28

it’s a poignant beautiful scene because

12:31

people who are

12:33

traumatized always think it’s their

12:35

fault they they’re ashamed of themselves

12:38

and so Robin Williams the therapist says

12:40

to the character the client it’s not

12:42

your fault there’s nothing wrong with

12:44

you it’s not your

12:46

fault that works on the individual

12:49

level the problem is you can’t transpose

12:52

now you can talk about political leaders

12:54

as being traumatized I mean Hitler was a

12:56

very traumatized child

12:59

um I can name you a whole bunch of

13:00

Western political leaders they were very

13:02

traumatized

13:04

children but they don’t come for therapy

13:08

they’re not looking for help so there’s

13:10

no point me saying to an Netanyahu it’s

13:13

not your

13:14

fault even if I can

13:17

understand how he was a traumatized

13:20

person or any other political leader how

13:21

they were a traumatized

13:23

person it it doesn’t cover it because

13:25

they’re not looking for help so

13:28

that helping people recognize their

13:30

trauma and how it there have nothing to

13:34

be ashamed of works on individual

13:36

therapeutic level but on the but on the

13:39

political level you can’t use that

13:40

because those people are not looking for

You can only help people who are looking for help”

13:42

help let me take that a step further

13:43

then let me just take it a step further

13:45

because when we have somebody who’s

13:47

maybe a perpetrator of any form of abuse

13:50

usually there are elements of guilt or

13:52

shame or defense mechanisms not wanting

13:54

to deal with it and if somebody is a

13:56

victim of of abuse there elements of

13:59

rage and not knowing how to to deal with

14:03

the after effects of that when it comes

14:04

to what I defined intractable conflicts

14:09

everybody believes they’re the victim

14:11

nobody wants to admit that sometimes

14:13

they’re the

14:14

perpetrator sometimes it’s a little bit

14:15

of this and a little bit of that so how

14:18

do we upscale what works for the

14:20

individual to try and heal

14:24

societies you know I don’t have an

14:26

answer to that because my personal

14:29

experience you can only help people who

14:32

are looking for help as people are as

14:34

long as people are stuck in their

14:37

ideologies I don’t care on which side

14:40

zionists anti-zionists um islamists

14:43

anti-islamist I don’t care which side as

14:46

long as they’re stuck in ideologies and

14:48

they’re not looking for help and they

14:50

see themselves only as victims they

14:53

cannot be helped history history will

14:56

just have to teach them how mistaken

15:00

their beliefs were but that takes

15:01

decades in a long time yeah we’ve been

15:03

talking about the bad guys um there’s a

15:06

there’s a quote from a a therapist

15:08

called Terry real and I don’t want to

15:09

butcher it but I I probably will where

15:11

he says family pathology rolls from

15:13

generation to generation like a great

15:15

fire in the woods devouring

15:18

everything in its midst until one person

15:23

has the courage to stand up and turn

15:25

back and face the

15:27

flames and that person brings peace to

15:29

his ancestors and and Spares the

15:33

children that

15:35

follow we’ve been talking about the bad

15:37

guys who are the

15:39

healers in global politics right now who

15:44

are the equivalent of that one person to

15:47

stand up and face the flames and and cut

15:50

this

15:52

trauma well interesting you should

15:55

mention Terry real because I was just

15:57

talking to Terry two days ago

16:01

and uh he’s absolutely right um um I was

Intergenerational trauma

16:05

traumatized as a kid I passed on my

16:08

trauma to my children I talk about that

16:10

in the myth of normal I talk about it in

16:11

my other book until we realize that

16:14

we’re traumatized and we’re acting out

16:16

of trauma we do pass it on not because

16:19

we mean to not because we don’t love our

16:21

kids not because we’re not trying to do

16:23

our best but because we can’t help it so

16:26

I did so my adult children have to to

16:29

deal with the trauma that I passed to

16:31

them I passed onto them when they were

16:33

kids that’s just how it works so it does

16:35

take somebody waking up and saying okay

16:38

there’s this link of trauma there’s this

16:40

chain of trauma with all these links

16:43

between the generations and I’m going to

16:45

break that chain of trauma transmission

16:49

that’s what it takes now on a social

The Gaza war

16:51

level if you look at say the Israel

16:55

Palestine conflict if you want to call

16:57

it that although I think that’s a weak

16:58

way to put it there are people in Israel

17:02

who are standing up and saying this is

17:04

not right there are journalists very you

17:07

know courageous journalists like Gideon

17:10

Levy and

17:12

airas there are who report on what’s

17:15

happening in the occupied territories

17:16

who try to tell Israelis what’s

17:18

happening in Gaza most people don’t

17:21

listen to them and Gideon L recently

17:23

talked about what a failure he is

17:25

because he’s been telling people this

17:27

for decades and they don’t listen

17:29

but they’re trying and there other

17:31

Israelis there were Israelis the other

17:33

day who tried to take some food to the

17:35

starving people of Gaza they were

17:38

attacked by um extremists and their

17:41

trucks were set on fire and the police

17:43

in the Army stood by and did nothing to

17:46

protect them but there are those people

17:49

and those are the people who in the long

17:51

term are going to make a

17:54

difference what’s more important peace

Peace vs. justice

17:56

or Justice

17:59

you can’t have one without the other I

18:02

mean look if hit if Hitler had won the

18:04

second world war and he had occupied and

18:07

conquered Russia and was able to

18:10

suppress Britain and and and dominate

18:14

all of Europe there would have been

18:16

peace an oppressive unjust cruel peace

18:20

that wouldn’t have lasted but there

18:22

would have been peace so there’s no

18:24

peace without Justice anywhere in the

18:26

world because as long as it’s Injustice

18:29

people sooner or later are going to

18:31

resist so we can’t separate the two and

18:35

actually if you look at on the

18:36

individual level when you have behaved

18:39

unjustly towards somebody else as I have

18:42

in my own family or other people that I

18:44

know is there peace in my heart no there

18:47

isn’t there’s

18:48

turmoil so whether we’re looking at on

18:51

the individual level or on the social

18:53

level there’s no peace without Justice I

Global toxic culture

18:57

asked you to upscale something earlier

18:59

on let’s scale up the idea of the toxic

19:04

culture can we say that we have a global

19:07

toxic

19:08

culture well look if you look at the

19:10

world culture it’s a scientific word in

19:12

a laboratory if you growing

19:15

microorganisms in a Petri dish you call

19:18

that a culture you call that a

19:20

laboratory culture and if the organisms

19:22

the microorganisms in that petri dish in

19:25

that culture dish were thriving you’d

19:28

say it’s a healthy culture but if many

19:29

of them were sick or dying off or

19:31

showing signs of dysfunction or

19:33

pathology you’d say it’s a toxic culture

19:36

now if you look at globalized capitalist

19:38

culture the rate of mental illness is

19:40

going up depression is going up suicide

19:42

is going up childhood mental health

19:44

diagnosis like ad attension deficit

19:47

anxiety depression um aggression are

19:51

going up uh physical autoimmune diseas

19:54

is going up internationally this is a

19:57

toxic culture and and the toxicity has

19:59

to do with the fact that for all the

20:02

relative wealth of the West and I’m

20:05

talking about the North and in the west

20:07

which is a lot wealthier than the rest

20:09

of the world um we’re still seeing a lot

20:12

of physical illness in the richest

20:13

country in the world the United States

20:15

70% of adults are at least on one

20:18

medication and 40% are on two

20:21

medications so it’s a very rich but very

20:24

toxic

Lessons from Mate’s time in Palliative Care

20:26

culture in your experi erience as a

20:29

physician as a doctor you worked in

20:31

paliative care you worked with a lot of

20:34

people at the end of life when there’s

20:37

nothing much that medicine can do except

20:39

try to give them a

20:41

dignified exit from this realm and it’s

20:45

not only old people it’s sometimes young

20:47

people with ter terminal illnesses

20:49

people in their 20s 30s and so on from

20:52

those years tell me about some of the

20:55

lessons that that you learned from those

20:57

people yes so Western medicine um for

21:01

all its miraculous

21:04

achievements and it’s truly is

21:07

miraculous makes a fundamental error it

21:11

separates the Mind from the body it

21:13

separates people’s emotional lives from

21:15

their physical health so when you

21:17

whether in I’ve been to Turkey and I

21:19

know this is true there too but it’s

21:20

true all over the world when you go see

21:22

a specialist for a problem inflammation

21:25

of your nervous system or your lungs or

21:27

your skin or your intestines or whatever

21:30

they’re going to deal with the physical

21:31

aspects of it but they’re not going to

21:33

deal with the emotional aspects of it

21:35

and then they’re going to see or maybe

21:37

something about your life has

21:39

contributed to the onset of this illness

21:42

and what I saw in family practice and in

21:45

addiction medicine and in paliative care

21:48

is that people who got sick it wasn’t

21:50

just physiological there were emotional

21:53

patterns in their lives that contributed

21:56

to the onset of their illness and was a

Regrets of the dying

21:58

book written by a palet of care nurse in

22:00

Australia about 15 years ago which is

22:03

called the top five regrets of dying

22:05

people and I saw the same thing all the

22:07

time and you know what the biggest

22:08

regret of people who were dying before

22:10

their time from autoimmune disease or

22:13

very often malignancy the biggest regret

22:15

was I didn’t have the courage to be

22:17

myself I suppressed myself and that

22:20

suppression of the self which happens to

22:23

people in childhood in order they so

22:26

they can fit in with their families that

22:28

suppression of emotions and the true

22:30

cells undermines the immune system it

22:33

undermines uh the nervous system the uh

22:37

hormonal apparatus because it’s all one

22:39

the hormones and the nerves and the

22:42

immunity And the emotions are are not

22:44

separate they’re all one system and so

22:48

in the people that develop chronic

22:50

illnesses and malignancy usually you

22:53

find these patterns of self-suppression

22:55

that if they reversed

22:58

could very often and I’ve seen this and

23:00

other people other people have

23:02

documented this could make a big

23:04

difference to their illness I’m not

23:06

saying we could cure everybody but I’m

23:07

saying that people could be a lot

23:09

healthier uh even after their diagnosis

23:12

if the doctors made this connection

23:14

between mind and body but unfortunately

23:17

despite all the science that we have now

23:20

showing the Mind Body unity in actual

23:23

life doctors are not trained to

23:25

recognize it h do you believe you’ve had

23:33

the only way of stopping what’s happening in Gaza happening in the rest of the world is to create an alternative to the United Nations, an alternative to the World Bank, to the IMF, an alternative to all the organizations that the United States has controlled to turn the whole rest of the world into Gaza,
