Danish is spoken 50 seconds in the beginning of the video

Norman Finkelstein: Hamas is not obliged under international law to accept the legitimacy of the state of Israel.
If you go back for example 1947 Gandhi said he'll accept the reality of Pakistan, but he would never accept the legitimacy of the state of Pakistan.
Hamas is not expected to be held to a higher level of diplomacy than Gandhi...
Gandhi said: 'Pakistan is a reality which I'm forced to accept, but I don't accept it as legitimate.' And that's the same position of Hamas. They said we'll solve the conflict on the June '67 border.

Adam Holm: 'This is what makes Jerusalem unwary of Hamas because they keep saying how can we have a neighbor which doesn't recognize our legitimacy.

Norman Finkelstein: But you see the problem is; listen to yourself,.. your own language..
You're just spouting Israeli propaganda...
Why are you saying 'Jerusalem'?
East Jerusalem is occupied Palestinian territory under international law, that was the ruling of the International Court of Justice since July 2004, and if you look at the Goldstone Report that just came out a month ago, they refer to East-Jerusalem as occupied Palestinian territory.
But now you've given over Jerusalem to the Israelis...
You're just repeating Israeli propaganda; they have no title under international law to east Jerusalem

Adam Holm: But speaking about my Israeli propaganda, which I'll refute, but anyway.
