  • It seems all logic is lost on this woman.

  • Journalists sure like listening to them selves.

  • She's so fed up with him and yet, he's speaking honestly and with facts to support his points.

  • Is it me or do super intelligent people - look a bit simian. Think Steven Hawking, Jonathan Miller, Stephen Pinker, 

  • I love the way he is sitting. It makes me proud to be a nerd. :D

  • Israel is a pimple on the ass of the USA. One day the USA will scratch at that pimple and that will prove to be irritating.

  • What sort of interview is this? I want to hear Noam Chomsky talk, not this hebrew cant.

  • The good ole "holocaust card". Who isn't fed up of this shit?

  • Did Mossad hand pick this interviewer or what? She barely allows the man to fully answer her questions.

  • It's one thing for pro-Israeli interviewers/journalists to try to make people think they're right by using these dirty tactics in conversations (she's doing a way shittier job than most though btw), we're getting used to that, but to see one do this to Chomsky is just too infuriating. I couldn't watch this.

  • she's clever and stupid at the same time - she knows what she's talking about but still won't comprehend facts/arguments nor does she realize her defeat

  • Wow. This woman simply can't comprehend logical thinking.

  • What if Israel wants to conquer all of the middle East with the use of nuclear weapons? She could say they don't want to do that - but she can't use that argument because 'what if your wrong?' apparently trumps all arguments she can make..

  • This Lady has the IQ of a Speed Hump

  • The very interesting event in this interview is:

    Chomsky believes to be true and admits the possibility to be wrong, anythig is related to informations and facts because rationality will drive to same conclusions in relations to coherency of informations and facts.

    Now, is Chomsky ready to admit that he does have much less informations than intelligence...? So, is he ready to admit his processing of datas and output can be seriously crippled?

    regards

  • what is she talking about.. every fifth grader could answer her questions.. and she is wasting Chomskys time with this shit

  • Why do people try to argue with Chomsky? What are they hoping will happen, that they'll actually score point?

    How very quixotic.

  • That was hard work. She was clearly desperate to stop him making his points, doing anything to try and talk over him or change the subject.

  • @TheGodlessGuitarist

    she was clearly desperate...PERIOD!

  • What a wonderful style of interview: interrupt the guest mid-sentence, every sentence.

  • whooho man ... congratulation !!!! your patience is amazing!!!!!

  • Chomsky, who ignores the Iranian threat and their influence on Hamas & Hezbollah, is just plain ignorant.

    The Hamas deliberatley puts the Palastinians in the line of fire, they destroy their own industry & abuse their own people, all to keep them in a state of desperation and breeding a generation of suicide bombers.

    Radical Islam THRIVES in a state of poverty, hunger and despotism. They know this, and are exploiting it.

    Chomsky is turning a bling eye to this, and is plain wrong

  • The reporter is one dim bulb.....

  • Chomsky exhibits incredible naivety in believing that by seeking to a nuclear free zone, and for him read israel giving up nuclear capability, that this will procure a response from israel's enemies to give up the conflict and move to make peace. This is insanity at its height, by a very intelligent but self-destructive human being. Warning: Do not take this man seriously

  • @nevskixx Hey moron, his point was that the removal of nuclear weapons was the most important step in peace, not the solution to the entire dispute.  What is Israel most afraid of? It's enemies acquiring, and using, nuclear weapons. Therefore, since that is the most dangerous and severe threat, if Israel was serious about peace, it would seek to remove that threat by the most expedient avenue. As he pointed out: they resisted such a step.

  • @goldleader64 You say: "Therefore, since that is the most dangerous and severe threat, if Israel was serious about peace, it would seek to remove that threat by the most expedient avenue". You are, or he is suggesting unilateral disarmament.Where does this make sense? Let's apply Chomsky's logic. Before acquisition of nuclear weapons, in the 1960s Israel was closer to peace? I don't think so.

  • * Hmmmm ................ i ponder the thoughts this "reporter" would contain about the illegal state of Israel ........ if she just happened to be born an Palestinian *

  • Jesus Christ, that bitch is a fucking retard.

  • I got to applaud chomsky for, above all, he is a moral and decent human being.

  • "Look, you have to make judgements on the basis of your best assessment on the facts available" - I love the way he can say perfect, concise things like that.

  • Poor old Chomsky !!! the time has damaged his brains in a very bad way. Many years ago he was a brilliant linguist. Now, his image represents the way how a human being degenerates in all aspects. Poor man !!! very sad vision !!! hahaaaaaa

  • @1pen2books

    you think? to me he's as sharp (or sharper) than ever.

  • @SilverJ4, hahaaa I think you are joking !! hahaa if you really see that..mmmmmm..I think you need some glasses. !!

  • @1pen2books

    nope, not joking. what comes across to you as unreasoned? all seems correct to me.

  • @SilverJ4 can´t you see what is not unreasoned and ridiculous in this poor man ?

    Don t you see how does he try to damage the image of Israel, a country that tries to survive among so many difficulties ? do you thik I am stupid ? Sorry. I am not an Einstein but stil I can count from one to ten.

    I don ´think i have to repeat the whole story about the conflict in Middle East.!!

    Please, take that guy out of YT andsend him to a mad house !! he has studied too much linguistics !!

  • @SilverJ4 Pen2books has some serious issues with the truth....I can see why he is so concerned with a great intellectual like Chomsky or Finkelstein.

  • Chomsky's intellect commands any interview, any debate ... he convinces me with the sheer weight of his knowledge and research and honesty.

  • Israel is just like South Africa, except we don't have an 18% HIV infection rate.

  • he won't say it, you know what? I'll say it- ISRAEL IS AS BAD AS OTHER COUNTRIES

  • Comment removed

  • "What if you're wrong?" Jesus Christ - what if the moon was made of cheese...

  • She must be really ugly, the cameraman chose to focus on the flowers behind her head.

  • Chomsky is looking old and weak, hopefully soon he will die, the sooner the better, I will drink a glass of wine when he dies. Amen

  • @ZionIDF YOU CAN DRINK A GLASS, BUT I WILL HOLD HIM AS A TRADITION IN MY FAMILY AND FUTURE GENERATIONS OF MY SEEDS THAT THEY SHOULD AND WILL READ ALL HIS BOOKS AND PUBLICATIONS... AND THEN YOU MY ISRAELI PROPAGANDIST, WILL DIE WITH YOUR HATE WHILE HIS WORK WILL CONTINUE . K KILLER? YOU GOT THAT

  • @abe0101 Let me tell something, Like the Goldstone report and every other self hating Jew Basher's report, they will be trashed and forgotten and cut off from the Jewish people. Richard Goldstone was banned from his grandsons Bar Mitzva he is an outcast and so is this worthless piece of garbage. Those who go against Israel are always remembered as EVIL agents of Satan. God promised that all who curse Israel will be Cursed by God, and that includes this animal Chomsky, I guarantee you.

  • @ZionIDF ya right religous nut job lol... chomsky in the usa and around the world is a hero. So you will support everything Israel does? even if it is criminal? Where is your heart and soul? Do you think that is religious? I know Israeli soldiers that told me they quit the army because of what they were taught to do to innocent civilians.. . many of them are in mental therapy now. So when Noam Chomsky stands up with other Jewish intellectuals and says no to injustice he is a hero!

  • Chomsky is great, honest man.

  • I'm sorry but to claim there is no threat to Israel other than Israel itself is ludicrous.

  • Israel is held to account BECAUSE it is a democracy. We should expect much better things from it. It's simple.

  • That dumb bitch has no brains

  • what a childish, unprofessional interviewer. "what if you're wrong?" over and over... well yeah... we were WRONG when we said iraq had wmd, but we bombed the shit out of iraq. the same question applies to israel: "what if israel is wrong?"

    what a patient gentleman he is. he should have just said, "i can't keep repeating myself if you are blindly biased and silly and keep asking unanswerable questions," then walked away.

  • prof. chomsky is an american legend. a bona fide genius and a crown jewel of human race. other contemporary jewish heros are norman finklestein, and naomi klein.

  • an intelligent gentleman teaching some lessons to a party gril!!

  • Allah bless Noam Chomsky.

  • Shes constantly trying to put words in his mouth

  • The reporter is a magnificent example of how Israel depends on world conflict to mask their war crimes: She asks if what is "going on in the territories" worse than Afghanistan or Darfur? What if those countries cleaned up their act?? What conflict would Israel work to sow elsewhere in the world?? And she is so audacious she doesn't even suspect that it is SHE that is "wrong" as she is asking Noam if he has considered himself to be "wrong" in his assertions. What a joke of a woman!!

  • this bitch has knowledge of history and yet debating a man who's the most cited author alive. always a pleasure to hear Prof noam chomsky speak.. but this interview made my blood boil! interviewer is probably an agent of the mossad or some israeli agency! how corrupt!

  • she's a douche

  • Did this idiot interviewer just apply Pascal's wager to foreign policy?

    Really?  We're back there again?

  • I support Israel and I think they ought to have the right to remain a Jewish state. But this interviewer talked way too much, too many interruptions. Chomsky, after all, is fairly balanced, and people ought to hear his thoughts on this conflict.

  • I support Israel and I think they ought to have the right to remain a Jewish state. But this interviewer talked way too much, too many interruptions.

  • I agree, Noam is a great man, Who will be like u, who will speak with such composure for the oppressed, G-d bless you Noam.

  • Noam, I wish you were 21 again - you cannot be replaced and when is the world not going to need you? Just magnificent composure, tenacity, poise, rationality and reasonableness and even charm and humanity is what he is.

  • "we should insist on the freedom of speech for dedicated liars" ...I love it...:08 seconds

  • @Rizzojerky its epic when he speaks :)

  • @riquelmestheshit could they not have chosen someone who was NOT drunk or drugged out to do this interview?? She seemed to be out of it.......could not hide the bias in her questioning.

  • @Rizzojerky yep, very relentless aggresion.. im surprised how chomsky always keeps his cool

  • hard to see the logical value in the interviewer's position "what if you're wrong?"

    couldnt this be levied against practically any morally difficult position one could hold?

  • @marshamk not just any morally difficult position but any position period. But if that were a deterrent then decision making would become virtually impossible on grounds of an inevitable measure of marginal uncertainty. What in life can ever attain the status of absolute truth? We have no choice but to make rational choices based on existing facts and to constantly ask 'What if you're wrong?' in an effort to thwart an undesirable yet rational conclusion is simply counter-productive rhetoric.

  • This is extraordinary, I love her reactions, thanks for posting.

  • stupid annoying women!

  • Well put, intellectual song that Noam advances, the rest is cognitive dissonance. Our center should be what we are responsible for. And those that argue for killing and force are harming the situation and that NC argues "for" Israel. When we see that hope will spring forward for any decent humanbeing. IMHO.

  • he has the right to say whatever he wants and i woudlnt deny him access into israel, but i think he's a left wing nut, and a self hating jew.

  • This man is not only incredibly intelligent and rational, but he is also a very morally principled man as well.

  • if you're going to argue with Chomsky, you'd better have your sh*t together. Interruption will only get you so far.

  • Israel and other states of the world is in the same situation as arguing couples that refuse to admit their own flaws, and they all have them. But as has already been said over and over again, the religious differences is the part that will always make enemies amongst strangers.

  • jesus, does this dumb bitch ever let him answer or what? she asks a fucking question then starts talking as he's one sentence into the answer. give me a break. if you don't like his viewpoints & statements DON'T FUCKING INTERVIEW HIM cuz obviously you're not going to really LISTEN to what he's saying.

  • @Deprofundis142 Unfortunately, I think she is in tune with Israeli public opinion, which mainly seems to be based upon fear and paranoia

  • I'm in total awe of Chomsky as a lecturer, professor and activist & as a human being. I would have lost my cool w' her already; he's so patient. This woman keeps interrupting throughout the whole damn interview, not letting him finish a single thought. It's incredibly frustrating for the viewer, not only because she's robbing his audience of a chance to hear him speak but also because she sounds unbelievably dumb & makes the program barely tolerable.

  • There is no limit to the complacency american comfort can breed. His whole aurgument falls apart to suggest that the partisan Goldstone report go unchallenged. Israel ran out of cheeks to turn in the 1940's noam.

  • Chomsky is completly biased and have no knowledge of reality, he lives in dream world and don't care about the truth. Totally spoiled american, go and live in russia, israel, france and then talk about this sh--t.

  • When you think of what Chomsky's saying, it's so simple. And yet it is so difficult to get it across even to highly educated adults. His message boils down to this: don't do to others what you wouldn't want done to yourself. We all think we understand and follow this, and yet it is practically impossible for us to see that our countries violate it massively every day. It's impossible for us to see that we are wrong bc we are in power. And that is the problem with power.

  • She was painful to watch!

  • I m just in awe of the man. Just listening to him makes me feel better about myself. I need to do a lot more.

  • Sure, there is no threat on Israel. Those everyday bombing?? suicide attacks? Terror organizations? Lets just IGNORE that, and say that Israel is lying. It's all one big PROPAGANDA of Israel. They do it because.......? The propaganda is for.......?

    And the dead people - it's all big F'ing propaganda!

    This man might be a genius on linguistics, but on other areas he's a complete idiot, hallucinatory moron.

  • The interviewer is so disgusting and annoying

  • "do u see yourself as a prophet ? " hahahaha , she is totally dumb .. sigh , random questions and biased ... what kind of reporter is that ??

  • "What if you're wrong?"

    Probably the most pointless question to ask in a debate...

  • @Nades129 Um, dumb? Not. Piece of Lovin? Hell ya. Is that American enough?

  • The interviewer is an evil cunt

  • prof.Chomsky,you are the man!!!this female is like primary school student trying to discuss with the university professor.

  • Chomsky is a god

  • Chomsky! You are a case study in staying cool...

  • interviewed? more like interrogated

  • I love jewish women ....they tend to be a lil pushy...but they know how to take care of you.....At the end....She knew Chomsky gotta strong point.....facts r facts man.....

  • What a comical attempt at challenging Chomsky! She's so desperate to stop him when he's talking about the U.S. and Israeli relations/crimes - The most important part of all of this! - so she changed the subject to his parents.

  • is there a flat earth society at his university?

    and as he defines a "decent human being",

    with such a marked overabundance of humilty,

    meanwhile not conceiving that israel has integrity,

    including shutting him out,

    does he think his enemies are stupid?

  • I love Chomsky. If There were more people like him there would be still a HOPE for a BETTER WORLD.

    Love & Peace

  • XD u give more attention on the interviewer than on the interviewee :P

  • israel didn't let him in because of environmental care reasons.

  • They didn't let him in because he stinks. one Chomsky can stink an area of 5234 squere miles. And israel is very small country.

  • "the public opinion is reading what you're presenting to them"

  • People don't even try to criticize Chomsky on empirical grounds because they know they'll loose everything pivots on his "priorities" etc... cf. the argument with Frum who Chomsky destroyed.

  • The problem here is that she is only one of several million Ziobots. You see these people all over the internet and on YouTube, responding to these videos with indefensible counteraccusations: "Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East...," "Jews were there first...," "The Arabs left in 1948 on their own accord...," blah blah blah. They are in the media and out in private droves. I sure hope American audiences catch on more quickly.

  • She puts every word in his mouth she possibly can and still gets chewed up and spit out by Chomsky. The Israeli hasbara machine is sputtering. Go Noam go!

  • You see here a Jewish legend talking with a NaZionist Bitch who calls herself a Jew

  • Wow, even with complete editorial control she is still gets owned.

  • if iwas chomsky i would say the same things... im glad he said he was opposed to israel as a state but ow that it is there it should stay as a democratic state that doesnt commit crimes!

  • @timetochilli Yes but that has never been true and it isn't about to stop committing crimes, especially if the US stays behind it and supports even aids its atrocities.

  • @xdeliriumx1 yeah its never been the case but it can happen

  • @timetochilli It can happen and I hope it will but it will take a radical change in policy on part of the US and Israel towards real peace and recognition of Palestine and that isnt about to happen.

  • IGNORANT BITCH!!!

  • This lady is so far out of her league she's embarrassing...about the dumbest volley of "questions" I've ever heard thrown at him. Guess they felt they had to do a spot with him and she drew the short straw...

  • she isnt even listening.. she is only motivated ideologically, look at how she nods and interrupts chomsky 5:10

  • Comment removed

  • great interview. i love how chomsky side-swiped all the personal attacks and stayed on topic, then, like always, smiled at the end.

  • "look, public opinion is reading what YOU are presenting to them". Priceless

  • i prefer the interviews where the asker is in attack mode. He always demolishes them and exposes their ignorance, even though here it seems they edited his responses.

  • was the editing yours? interesting how they chopped half of his sentences once or twice to make him sound more extreme. eg 'goldstone report was a gift [cut]'

  • @alex871uk this was how it was aired.

  • @Chomskyan THIS IS A PROFESSIONAL? THIS IS A PROFESSIONAL? THIS LADY? THIS IS NOT JOURNALISM! MY GOD! WHAT IS THIS?? HOW UNBELIEVABLY UNPROFESSIONAL... THE INTERRUPTIONS THE MANIPULATING OMG

  • @alex871uk this was how it was aired.

  • @alex871uk this was how it was aired.

  • @alex871uk No kidding. This channel is like that, only it's usually pro-palestinian.

  • This cunt reporter just doesn't listen.

  • Stupid Interviewer...good for nothing...

  • Best worst interview ever. He absolutely keeps his cool even at the most stupid and suggestive questions, and turns them into insightful answers.

  • Dear interviewer, I suspect that any Iranian attempt to recreate the Nazi victories of 1939 would be considerably less successful. More like national suicide.

    So relax.

  • Nooooo, let her interrupt him. Everytime she does, she gets a good reply pretty quickly. And who knows, one day, she may even see some common sense and realise how thin her arument is.

  • I love and respect this man.

  • I almost feel bad for that girl. She's not in Chomsky's league. It was embarrassing watching her constantly interrupt Chomsky.

  • woman .... shut up and let him speak

  • what happened to the cut video at 2:50? who is shooting those bombs? WHAT>?!

  • Good interview, Chomsky won over the interviewer, she was clearly stupid.

  • As a good report she had to ask the same "tough" questions his detractors would ask. At the end you could tell, by both smiling, that each thought it was a decent interview... sadly, the irrationality and paranoia he describes continues.

  • Prophet vs. Pawn.

    I'm almost embarrased for both of them. Chomsky for having to put up with such an intellectually bereft interview, laden with character smears and family gossip. And her for having taken such a devastating mental beating by Chomsky. Who thinks she secretly cried after this interview, asking herself if that big government paycheck is worth being an empty shell of a human being...

  • great int

  • He was so over her head it wasn't even a poor interview. This was just an embarrassment.

  • Comment removed

  • Again, Chomsky at his finest. The mind of a genius at work.

    She has no leg to stand on with her accusations.

  • What a bitch! She would not even let him finish a point. The crazy thing is that if she was interviewing Dershowitz she would have listened to his every word without even thinking about interrupting him.

  • She is hysterical and needs a slap.

  • Israel will loose greatly in the eyes of the international community after what happened today, the atacking of a civilian boat.

    I wonder, would this reporter aprove the atack?

    

  • it's quite interesting to see that channel 2 journalists behave like fox news journalists. also, the "what if you're wrong" argument is one only someone totally uneducated would make. his reply could have been "what if you're wrong?" and he did ask that. the rational, logical question is not "what if you're wrong" but "who is right" or "who has the most evidence." that's how science works - not "what if you're wrong" but "who has the evidence" and that's how rational people approach problems

  • Chomsky owned her so totally it's almost embarrassing.

  • That was fantastic...he just make such greats counter-points to the ridiculous claims made by the interviewer. He has obviously dealt with the same questions so many times that by now the responses are just so easy.

    She is a cheeky little shit when she responds to Chomsky's Elijah example with "so in a way you see yourself as a prophet?".... She knows what she is doing by asking that question...

  • She sure tried to goad him on. But he stood his ground and kept cool.

    

  • Israel just had to sent a complete brainwashed idiot...

    well at lest she brought out the best of Chomsky.

  • I make a guess: the interviewer is both stupid and dishonnest. Speaking of the recognition of an illegal act, she said : "Nothing is all black or all white" Wow! Well...its legal or not! Period!

  • that's why I cant stand nationalism

    the interviewer is awful, she could get a job in fox news easily

    "that's your opinion"

    what a bitch

    "the mission of any decent human being"

    ChomskPWNED !

  • So her argument is that just because there might be a possibility that someone might attack Israel, it should exterminate everyone they think might be a threat. Sounds like the U.S.A. Paranoid aren't we?

  • My god this woman is annoying. Nothing is worse than a transparent argument.

    She hasn't questioned Israel once. What happened to objectivity?

  • @Peacehand Propaganda, that is what happened. Notice, she constantly repeats the same assumptions as any Israeli Government Official, any pundit, and any so-called supporter does. Same assumptions, same comments, same questions, etc, etc, and towards anyone who criticizes Israeli Government Policy. If you are Jewish; you are a self-hating Jew. If you are not Jewish; you're anti-semitic. If you are Muslim; you're a terrorist. The list goes on and on.

  • @bluntman007 I know man, they aren't even hiding it anymore. I barely could make it through the whole interview as her argument is so transparent. Chomsky is powerful, but has no effect on what Hamas actually does. However, attacking a peaceful flotilla under the cover of night does! I hope she will interview Israel officials as vigorously.

  • @Peacehand She does questioning Israel usually. But the man supports Hizballah, there's a limit to everything.

  • @watching360 I'd like to see other pieces she has done where she goes after any Israeli official as vigorously. Let me explain something. Chomsky supports the Palestinian right to democratically elect their representatives. Just as he support Israel's right to do the same.

    In this consistency, he hopes to show the hypocrisy and fallacy of this position. Noted, if you do not have a radicalize education, this is lost on you. His real beliefs are among the anarchist left..

  • @Peacehand

    I'm pretty sure she's biased as far as internal Israeli government policies go. Isn't she the Israeli news anchor? There is no objectivity; looks like she was sent to question and rebut his arguments for this interview. I understood that they met in Jordan because he was denied entry into Israel.

  • @Peacehand

    I'm pretty sure she's biased as far as internal Israeli government policies go, so she's not a neutral journalist. Isn't she the Israeli news station anchor? There is no objectivity; looks like she was sent to question and rebut his arguments for this interview. They had to meet in Jordan because he was denied entry into Israel.

  • she's a stupid zionist bitch

  • @dpapaioannow never confuse stupidity with a clever person with an agenda

  • @Adam8223 are you implying that zionists are smart?LOL...yes they are veeeery smart,so smart that you can smell them a mile away LOL

  • im all for tough interviews, but it's a bit much when you'
