pictures from the international space station where the crew have begun a six hour long space for anyone else to write a new report to the russian segment of the station fly attention. to what a few connections of blue than you. can see been floating around there so replace the brain camera that's the one which films the incredible shots we always get from orbit. test. space suits which have computer system screens integrated into them. while the rest of the crew inside are keeping a close watch on their colleagues to make sure they're safe and everything is going to plan live pictures here of the space walk. fantastic.

speaks to us author academic and outspoken palestinian supporter norman finkelstein as he attempts to convince the un of his vision for a middle east peace process. but . norman finkelstein has never shied away from controversy. the american banned from israel and pledges support for the palestinian people the author and former professor has lost a job. he did to be documented in the film american radical subject we begin with during our t.v. interview i want to start with a question about your new documentary american radical it has been described in many ways one being an intimate. portrait of a man behind

a controversy tell me about the documentary why you decided to make this film actually have not seen the documentary. but many of you are surprised by a certain reason i didn't want to see myself on the silver screen and so i chose not to watch it but my friends many of my close friends watched it and for better or for worse they said it's an ocular per trail of me but i was obviously involved in the making of the documentary though i asked not to be consulted about the content i didn't want anyone the future to say i was making a promo for myself. as to why i got involved in the my basically if feeling was well my closest friend over many decades is professor chomsky and i tried to look to him for moral guidance and he made many films or he would participate in many films about himself and about his personal

background so i thought there was nothing politically incorrect or very about participating in such a film and so i went ahead and did it but one thing that didn't quite turn out right was i thought there would be a lot more on my time in tell a story and to meet some of my friends from their home but when we went over to shoot that segment of the documentary i was bored entry and so we never really got a full picture from that or you brought up professor chomsky and the issue of being barred from from entering an israel you know that he was recently in that same situation were you surprised were you not surprised because you yourself had experienced that i was a little bit surprised because professor chomsky is in a category all of his own and however much jews may feel still believes. for his

political views they still take pride in the fact that professor johns chomsky is a certified in their knowledge genius so they take pride in the fact that he's jewish and a genius and it was surprising that a person of his stature with also have been turned away and there represents i think you know a serious deterioration in israeli let's just call it decision making the israelis for a long time prior themselves and being very rational as against the emotional arabs but now they're acting clearly very irrational and also counterproductive from their own point of view counterproductive way they've got terrible p.r. for denying an eighty two year old man who is by any reckoning one of the greatest minds in human history denying him entry because it used to be that when israelis dissented the world praised them look how beautiful the israelis are when they do

wrong they feel anguished they feel tormented but now for the first time the world this saying we don't care about your anguish and torment we're holding you legally responsible for what you're doing don't give us the anguish and torment there as it's called in israel the shooting and crying we don't want the tears we want accountability and now israelis feel very threatened because the for the first time in the specially after the goldstone report and the threats of holding israel before the international criminal court they don't want to hear from dissent anymore because they're being asked to pay a price last time we sat down. shortly after that were gaza and it was right before barack obama became president you were very open. on what.

took place and who was wrong and that and that military conflict. it's been over a year since. there's really assault on gaza what's your assessment of how the obama administration has done so far in bringing permanent peace to the middle east at the time when i made those comments they appear to be very controversial indeed you might even say they were extreme but when the goldstone report came out and bear in mind richard goldstone that's not our only a respected jurist but he's also jewish and by his own reckoning he says zionist goldstone report concluded that unarmed quoting here that israel launched a deliberately disproportionate attack designed to punish merely eight and terrorize the civilian population while those are pretty strong words punish. a civilian population as to the record of the obama administration my recollection is

that they didn't have great expectations from what would come of people. going astray ssion and in fact it's quite clear that nothing much came. back see my call them between israel and the united states but there has been no american initiative to try to resolve the conflict in terms of international law the resolution of the conflict which the rest of the world embrace is if you move for a moment away from israel palestine and you take the case of iran since that's very topical now. around kept promise. kept promising there's going to be a change there's going to be a change but in fact as several commentators wrote the barack obama administration is carrying on like all other administrations there was an offer made in october two thousand and nine by the u.s. administration to iran and how to resolve the nuclear issue. around. at that

time rejected the offer for several reasons mostly because they didn't trust the main powers who were involved france the u.s. even russia but now it except to go the offer and as the leading academic specialist on the topic american academic specialists trigger parsi dr parsi wrote in the washington post he says that barack obama is refusing to take yes for an answer and so there is no real difference between the so-called diplomatic approach of barack obama and the. mill touristic approach as it's sometimes claimed or a belligerent approach of the bush administration at the end of the day they demand their what they want is for around to cry uncle for around to give in to us power maybe barack obama does it with softer words and presents it with a more. appealing image but the policy is basically the same do you

think that there was a message also sent possibly to turkey and purcell with that with draft resolution being introduced so quickly after this additional swap the l y's are agreed upon with turkey personnel and iran you know well it's quite clear at the united states feels like power shifting it's becoming more the if you use and the u.s. doesn't call the shots in every place in the world and turkey has carved out a more independent half in recent years most low notably when it refused to participate in the u.s. attack on iraq. brazil is an emerging power and this was an attempt to cut them down to size lets them the topic of the united nations and diplomacy because from what i understand you are lobbying to speak at the your land why and what do you want to say well i have been. and in the conflict in

a public way for the past thirty years i first got involved in june one thousand nine hundred two when israel invaded lebanon and i do feel that in the wake of the massacre in gaza the goldstone report public opinion has changed its dramatically changed not only internationally but in the united states and there's a real opportunity known to put forth a reasonable settlement and conflict not only to put it forth but for there to be a receptive audience for such a real reasonable settlement and i feel that given my personal background the fact that my parents were both survivors of the nazi holocaust my father was a survivor of auschwitz concentration camp my mother my down the concentration camp every member of their families on both sides were exterminated during the war we never had any on sancho's cousins grandparents nothing we were just as my late mother used to say five people in the world my mother my father and my two brothers

and myself my family background my professional background i have written many books in the topic and i think it's fair to say without sounding immodest am recognize authority on the conflict and. the fact that i have been personally involved i've made a substantial commitment one might even say in my own little way i've paid some price for the commitment of made and most importantly i've tried very desperately very hard to be reasonable to figure out the reasonable proposal based on international law to end the conflict but we should be clear i have no interest in being the vet victor over a vanquished israel i have no desire to no interest in wanting to humiliated embarrass it degraded or as i say push it against the wall so it feels like it has no choice except to strike out he won a reasonable settlement. we want

a settlement which allows everyone to live proud productive and peaceful lives we want a settlement that allows everyone to live in dignity and we want a settlement obviously which is in the current cordons with the law with what the world should look like now you're right in the real world the law is often disregarded and the replacement by the use of a big club and you crack people scolds but we're talking about how we think the conflict should end and i think most people understand maybe not people in power regular people who understand the rule of law and that we should respect the law and i think you can reach a large audience without principle and i think the audience is now ready to listen and that's why i want to go to the united nations and hopefully achieve our reasonable settlement of the conflict and we're going to leave it right there thank you very much for saying out and speaking with me thank you.
