Speaking to Middle East Eye, Finkelstein says that "Jewish supremacist billionaires" are calling the shots in the US:
The Jewish supremacist billionaire class exploited this alleged - in my opinion - completely fabricated and fake fear of Jewish students that their lives were in danger. The Jewish supremacist billionaire class exploited it and then they had money and they had power behind them.
So the presidents of Harvard and University of Pennsylvania were not forced to step down because they looked like fools to Congress and didn't protect Jewish students - they were forced out by Jewish supremacist billionaires!
This is the type of thing you'd hear on neo-Nazi broadcasts.
Finkelstein has been pushing the "Jewish billionaire class" conspiracy theory since October 7. He has also refused to condemn Hamas for the massacres and compared the terrorists raping Jews to Holocaust victims who escaped concentration camps.
He then went on to be interviewed by Dilly Hussain of 5Pillars, an Islamist organization that has not only trafficked in antisemitism - the British media group Impress, YouTube and others have found that they spread hatred of Jews - but they even invited far-Right figures to be interviewed because their antisemitism and that of the far-Right coincide.
Add Finkelstein to the mix of honored guests on 5Pillars' podcast:
“Secular societies like Israel hate death.”

Finkelstein shows his ignorance of the IDF, Gaza, modern warfare, and the basic consuming of news. How has Israel lost hundreds of soldiers if they are fighting in Gaza via remote control?
Of course Israel prioritizes the lives of their soldiers. As George Patton said, "No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country." It isn't cowardice, it is going to war to win.
And what does this have to do with Israel being secular? Finkelstein is speaking to an Islamic supremacist (ironic given his "Jewish supremacist billionaire" rant) and admiring the Palestinian culture of martyrdom, of death.
Judaism does not love death. It prioritizes staying alive over nearly everything else. If anything, "Westernized society" had learned the value of human life from the Jews.
By Finkelstein's logic, developing and implementing Iron Dome is also cowardice. So are anti-aircraft guns. And helmets. And bomb shelters. Brave Hamas doesn't bother to build those for its people!
No one loves death except for jihadists. Admiring that mentality is itself a psychosis.
I don't think he believes a word he is saying. He is human clickbait to promote his books.
