Douglas Murray brands Norman Finkelstein a ‘psychopath’

Author Douglas Murray has condemned American political scientist and activist Norman Finklestein for likening Gaza to a “concentration camp.”

Mr Finklestein called the October 7 attacks by Hamas “heroic” in a social media post hours after they first took place.

“He’s produced a type of sociopath and psychopath, I do think that Norman Finkelstein is just such a person,” he told Sky News Australia host Piers Morgan.

“If I can give just one example, he repeatedly in that interview referred to Gaza as a concentration camp, Gaza is no such thing as a concentration camp, and Norman Finkelstein knows that very, very well.

“Do you Piers know anybody who got out of a concentration camp in 1945, and proceeded to go next door and behead and rape everyone they could find? I don’t.

“Only Norman Finkelstein finds these comparisons to make and makes them wilfully.”

Probably the longest someone spoke without being interrupted by Piers

[zareenwilhelm]

I would urge Murray to take on Finkelstein directly, rather than talking about him in his absence.

The fact that he wont debate Norman to prove his disgust of him says a whole lot about

[PatrickAshe]

Accusations from a narcissist are usually confessions.

[collinslyimo]

I mean if you want to discredit someone isnt debating him and breaking down their arguments with facts infront of an audience of about 20 million people the best way to do so?

“Would you debate him” “errr no thanks”

[jovandjuric]

Did anybody notice that he said that Gaza cannot be concentration camp as there is no Jews in Gaza? 😂😂😂😂

[sigitnugroho]

This bromance is strong with these ones, Piers just shuts his mouth and listens intently

[Nickat]

He should debate him, since it would be a great chance to expose any lies he is telling.

Ad hominem attack is always an admission of defeat in a debate.

Some people are destined to reason wrongly ; others, not to reason at all ; and others, to persecute those who do reason. ❤️✌️

[mirsadmujadzic]

And interestingly enough Pierce Morgan wouldn't interrupt him a single time just listens quietly. I wonder why?

[teec]

The fact that he won’t debate him speaks volumes

[colinrobinson]

Douglas Murray does a lot of emoting here...

[sarsfield]

Sure would love to see Douglas Murray take on Norman Finkelstein in a debate. Sparks, flares and flashes guaranteed . . .

[SonofJeddah]

Piers, we need a debate between:
Douglas Murray vs Dr. Finkelstein
Ben Shapiro vs Dr. Finkelstein

Please make it happen

[SaiefHasnain]

He is scared to debate Norman he is a coward

[williamdickerson]

Douglas murray and Ben Shapiro instead of insulting norman ficklestien. Should Have the backbone to debate him one on one. And let people decide for themselves.
