American Radical: The Trials of Norman Finkelstein is a 2009 documentary film about the life of the American academic Norman Finkelstein, directed and produced by David Ridgen and Nicolas Rossier.

Synopsis

Norman Finkelstein est né à Brooklyn en 1953, de parents survivants des camps de concentration nazis. En 1988, il obtient son doctorat du Department of Politics at Princeton University, sur la théorie du sionisme. Disciple de Noam Chomsky et brillant universitaire, Norman Finkelstein est l’auteur de plusieurs ouvrages traduits dans le monde entier dont L’industrie de l’Holocauste (Réflexion sur l’exploitation de la souffrance des Juifs) (La Fabrique Editions - 2000) et Mythes et réalité du conflit israélo-palestinien (Aden Editions - 2006). Mais, la liberté de ton de Finkelstein dérange, elle lui a valu en 2007 d’être licencié de l’Université DePaul (Chicago) et d’être taxé de « Juif antisémite » par des membres de lobbies pro-israéliens américains.

The film starts with Melia Zreiq, an old woman from Eilaboun, saying: "I hope God will bring peace to this land, and let the peoples live together - a good life. I hope there will be peace". Historian Ilan Pappe talks about Plan Dalet, a plan that David Ben-Gurion and the Haganah leaders in Palestine worked out during autumn 1947 to spring 1948. Pappe discusses the details of the plan, and how was it carried out. On October 30, 1948, the Israeli army entered Eilaboun at approximately 5 AM. They then forced the villagers together in the main square of the village. They chose seventeen young men. Five of them were taken as human shield, and the rest of the twelve were killed, each in a different location. This all happened after the expulsion of the rest of the village to Lebanon, where they became refugees after a five days forced march to Lebanon. After a United Nations peace keeper observed and reported Israel was forced to allow the people back.

The film focuses on two young rap artists, Subliminal, an Israeli Jew, and Tamer Nafar, a Palestinian citizen of Israel, and focuses on their music, friendship, and their politicization as public figures. The film traces the relationship between Tamer and Subliminal, as the events of the Second Intifada unfold, and lets the viewer draw conclusions from the souring relations between the two as an individual representation of the polarization process which took place during these years of bloody conflict. In this aspect, the film succeeds in delivering the atmosphere of the loss of hopes for peace after the failure of the Camp David summit between Ehud Barak and Yasser Arafat and the renewed intensity of the conflict since. The film was featured in the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival.

L'œuvre présente les efforts des Palestiniens habitant la ville et la région de Beit Sahour, en Cisjordanie, pour démarrer une petite industrie laitière locale au cours de la première Intifada, en cachant un troupeau de dix-huit vaches laitières aux forces de sécurité israéliennes qui considérait la production de laitages comme une menace pour la sécurité nationale d'Israël.
