Norman Finkelstein - Gaza An Inquest into Its Martyrdom Book Annotator 1

Praise for Gaza

Alice Walker

Alice Walker has had multiple accusations of antisemitism and praising David Icke. (Wikipedia)

One of Walker’s poems, “To Study The Talmud,” has also attracted widespread condemnation. In it, she describes her reaction when a Jewish friend (in the interview, she said it was her ex-husband) accused her “of appearing to be antisemitic.” The poem says that one should look to the Talmud in an effort to understand the state of Israel’s treatment of Palestinians, which she describes as “demonic.” (NYTimes)

Alfred de Zayas

“NATO is a criminal organization with a history of violence and violation of the UN Charter. The EU is a scam. We are living the totalitarian dystopia that George Orwell predicted.”

“Alfred de Zayas says Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine was a suitable response to NATO’s imminent threat.”

“De Zayas is not a Holocaust denier. But he is a hero to them. His publications and lectures are promoted on websites such as “Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust.” It’s easy to see why.”

“Alfred de Zayas, the UN ‘expert’ who denied the Holocaust, compared Fidel Castro to Gandhi and now defends the dictator Nicolás Maduro”

Quote

The massacre of innocent people is a serious matter. It is not a thing to be easily forgotten. It is our duty to cherish their memory. -Mahatma Gandhi

Finkelstein didn’t cite the above quote in this book, yet used the same quote in another one of his books, This Time We Went Too Far: Truth and Consequences of the Gaza Invasion pg. 158.
The footnote:

“Speech at Delhi Provincial Political Conference” (2 July 1947), Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi, v. 88, p. 263.”

Maybe I’m blind, but I couldn’t find this quote after reading the specific speech multiple times. (Link to Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi Vol. 88)

Preface

The notion that enhanced fireworks emanating from an anthill could, in and of themselves, inflect state policy of one of the world’s most formidable military powers is laughable—or would be, were it not for that power’s formidable disinformation apparatus. (pg. xii)

From 2001 to 2015 there were 12,338 rocket attacks and 6,500 mortar attacks that left 33 dead and 1971+ injured in Israel (prior to 2005 most of the attacks were against Israeli targets in the Gaza Strip.)
Between October 7 2023-January 9th, Hamas fired 14,500+ rockets. Interestingly, these “enhanced fireworks” routinely fell short within Gaza and killed Palestinians. In the first couple weeks of the October 7th conflict, the IDF said more than 550 rockets had fallen short.

According to Human Rights Watch:

“Human Rights Watch has previously reported on rockets that have misfired and struck areas in Gaza. Research citing data released by the Israeli military has suggested that between 10 to 20 percent of rockets launched from Gaza have failed. Data on the overall numbers of projectiles (for example, rockets and mortars) fired as well as their success or failure rates are estimates and should not be considered precise.”
