Source: http://chycho.blogspot.ca/2012/11/ominous-forewarning-from-prof-norman.htmlIn November 2010, Professor Norman Finkelstein and Hamza Andreas Tzortzis spoke at a likeMEDIA.tv hosted event to address the question: “What Will Bring Peace to the Middle East?”
This was an excellent discussion where Prof. Finkelstein provided a secular perspective focusing on international law, while Mr. Tzortzis shared his perspective as an international public speaker on Islam.
What I found especially of interest, however, were the following opening remarks by Prof. Finkelstein:
“I was asked to speak on a very specific topic this evening namely ‘How to resolve the conflict’, if I had my choice in the matter I would’ve preferred to speak about what’s happening now in Gaza and more importantly, what seems to be unfolding in Lebanon, which is quite serious and quite ominous. I think we’re headed towards a crossroads in the Israeli-Palestine conflict in Lebanon in the near future, probably in the next several months…
“In my opinion, there is a very sinister plot, and I don’t usually use the word plot, and there is a very sinister conspiracy, and I don’t usually use the word conspiracy, but I do think there is a plot, a conspiracy afoot, not just by the usual suspects the US and Israel, but also France, Italy, Canada, all the western powers are now acting in concert for a decisive moment.
“We should be very sensitive to that fact and just as they’re laying the groundwork for their evil, we should now be preparing ourselves and not being left at the last moment trying to mitigate a war but to prepare for it because it’s going to be a decisive moment. It will either be 1967 where a significant defeat was delivered to the Arab world or it’ll be 1956 where the British and the French and the imperial powers at the time suffered a major setback. But it is serious and in my opinion it’s really, if I could use the word, it’s quite filthy.”
An ominous - and astonishingly accurate - forewarning considering all the changes that have taken place since 2010 due to the Arab Spring. From Libya, Tunisia, Syria, Egypt, Bahrain, Yemen, to the latest Israeli offensive in Gaza and much more, the face of the Middle East and Northern Africa is changing.
As to the historical events that Prof. Finkelstein refers to, they are the 1967 Six-Day War as well as its consequences, and the 1956 Suez Crisis as well as its implications (pdf).
The video for this event which includes the question and answer period is provided below and is well worth the watch.

Sadly the Western countries which used to be the standard bearers of freedom and democracy will allow Palestine to be a quaint memory as they allow Israel to wipe out all inhabitants and take all their land.This could not be done without their tacit approval.Canada especially has sunk so far with it's conservative government.How quickly it dove into the abyss of paranoia and denial how,sad.

who demands the destruction of whom again, and i ask you based on the simplest most basic reality possible, what was the population pre-israel, as opposed to post israel, according to you claim of being wiped out of existance?
cuz all reality proves the exact opposite, while you suppose a secular democracy that has seen regime change as often as they have elections (like us) holds a singular policy and mind to even speak of.

Western powers are at war, while Islamic countries are either having their nations destabilized through revolutions or being bombed and having their leaders overthrown.
Not really much of a conspiracy if you really think about it.

nope, as it is as simple as it was when the greek philosophers stated as much, that people get the governments they deserve.it is up to the people to take charge of their governments, and bad ones like the french monarchs during the french revolution, and the arab despots, all eventually are over thrown.

It seems pretty obvious to me and others that the end goal for Israel is to create a situation where the Palestinians are pushed completely out of the lands where they now live.

And it seems the hawks in Israel are determined to push western powers into a war in Iran. Sadly, such an enterprise might bring Russia and China into the fray. Only winners will be arms merchants. Israel will suffer no matter what the hawks think.
And many evangelicals in the US want a huge war in the Middle East because they believe it will hasten the 'second coming of Jesus'. What it will hasten is even more terrorism worldwide.
Damned fools.

Iran, formerly the center of the Persian empire , has Big Oil, no central bank
and legal marijuana & hashish. 3 irresistable reasons for the CIA/MIC/Banksters
& their minions to want to knock it off as they did Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan. In
the movie Battle for L.A. the actor spokesman said: " Invasions occur to seize
natural resources. For that, invaders must first eliminate the native population."
Big duh, huh ? The average American is so half awake, totaly brainwashed,
and ignorant they'll believe any bs the Big G feeds them through the ass media.From Vietnam in 1963 to Iraq in 2003, they've needed to garner support for
foreign invasions to hoodwink people into supporting them. Fools & their money
are soon parted. They even send their sons & daughters to the meat grinder
after false flags staged to mimic patriotism. LBJ came here to Syracuse in 1964
to raise support to invade North Vietnam after the Gulf of Tonkin incident. It
mattered not that the U.S. Navy provoked them. The Vietnamese have Oil too.
So many Americans are virtualy sleepwalking in their own little dreamworld
that they could have a zombie apocalypse occur without even breaking stride. - 6 months ago

and the million palestinians who live in israel and have since 67, with absolutely no discussion about moving them based on them being palestinian, or not making any legislation about palestinians in general doesnt prove the opposite.
but the war that the palestinains wage, and israel's response to it does speak to israel's will, while their own government and in house policies doesnt?really?
who demands the destruction of whom?
i can toss as many examples from the hamas charter and fatah charter to prove it, can you offer a single piece of israeli policy that does the same?
but keep talking shit

well yeah, israel would like for once western powers to step up and do their end, as opposed to leaving it to israel to take all the responsibility and heat, as was the case with iraq and syria
while still clearly speaking of the red line israel has marked as the point at which they will act regardless of the west, making your position not accurate but demonizing spin.

you get attacked for it when it is about israel, as you are ignoring they arent the ones waging the wars.
you cant call those in the defensive position the war hawks and be accurate.you either are a racist (which i dont think in the slightest) or have found comfort in what racist claim in order to proliferate it.
you dont call the americans war hawks for responding to nazism, just as the vietnamese werent war hawks for responding to our invasion.nor can israel be as they have yet to declare a single war.

as does china and russia from syria and iraq too, which doesnt change anything.
and if you are going to tout china, they get their resources from a variety of sources all over the middle east and africa.making it a nonissue, especially when china hasnt said shit about it, and if anything are content with letting others take the political heat for what they have felt no need to oppose.
or does this issue need to be discussed for another 5 yrs, as opposed to the previous 5 yrs it has been before china puts in their two cents as it matters so much to them?
