Chomsky on Palestine, Israel, and the US-11/29/07 (1/3)

[elZeide2]

Chomsky is a person with quite a big obssesion against Israel, but fortunately Israel will survive him.

Chomsky is not the first nor the only jew that has a problem carrying his jewishness, and although he can think as crazy as he wants, the problem is that he disseminates grossly erroneous ideas about the Arab- Israeli conflict.

He speaks about Israeli crimes. That expression isn't a mistake: it's a lie full of hate.

AM ISRAEL CHAI VEKAYAM !!!

Long Life to Israel !!!

[iLovePalestineDotCom]

Chomsky can never squarely put the blame where the blame should lie. The JudeoNazi Terror Khazari cult that invaded Palestine and its Racist Criminal Parasitic-Jewish supporters around the world specially in the United State and Western Europe. Chomsky is nothing but a tool who justifies the existence of this apartheid entity that was born out of the RAPE of the Palestinian people and land. In other words Chomsky loves to dance around... Like south Africa IzraHELL should be completely destroyed!

[MrKahane]

i know chomsky is not a mathematician,

but how can it possibly be both 40 years since 67 and 60 years since 48?

[michardav]

Yes and I have a great hooked nose with long payes and walk with a hunchback, is that stereotypical enough for you? Or would you like me to demand a pound of flesh too?

[GreatGrumbledook]

I'm afraid not, Chomsky! Unfortunately, most of the sane people think that you're an utter prat! Ask them who they'd prefer to meet: Noam Chomsky or the man who cleans out the public toilets in Aberdeen, and they'd go for Wee Jock "Poo-Pong" McPlop, every time.

[michardav]

so you watch Black Adder, if your going to insult the man either be original, or give credit, plagiarizing is hardly original

[GreatGrumbledook]

@michardav: You are the oppressive kind of person, who thinks that the record industry is right, when it throes kids into prison for downloading music from the net or who thinks that the rising pirate parties should be illegal!

[littleredbirdy]

Israel is a shinning beacon of freedom in the Middle East. It is a shame America and other western countries put Israel in danger by manipulating them to fulfilling their own foreign agendas.

[mrtyles]

Why is Ralph Nader's name written behind him?

[Chomskyan]

Nader was speaking the next day in a different event, it was a posting for it.

[ma11ohad]

I hate this man with passion and not for the reasons that you may think. I've been a peace activist all my life me and thousand of other Israelis are working every day to make changes on the ground since 1993 and the Oslo agreement. today and in the last 10 years the two state solution become the mainstream idea in the Israeli politics. this man not only that he is taking credit for other people work and ideas.. (will be part 2)

[Chomskyan]

where has he ever taken credit for the ideas of the two state solution? in fact he is always careful to credit activists on his popularity and for progressive change. He is trying to change US public opinion and advocate the two state solution. I don't see why you would object to it.

[ma11ohad]

you don't realize how many times Chomsky's books been used to scare the public by extremist on both sides. mixing the very right idea of two state with rediculess theories. when you want to make change you need to speak to the people not above them. the man is a provocateur ego maniac. people in general love their countries the believe in governments and the dream of leaders that will take charge. there is nothing wrong with that.

[ma11ohad]

also as usual not a word about the palestinians leaders. we can not make peace with our self we need to make peace with Palestinians. in gaza we destroyed every settlement, withdrew to the 67 border with out agreement. I was there to convince the Israeli people that this is the way. what happened later? did it help the push the peace process. did the pli gov did anything to start establish the pli state? the world must start criticize the Arab leaders as well

[Chomskyan]

If you are an activist in Israel, surely you know that the "withdraw" from Gaza is really an EXPANSION in the West Bank. They are building new settlements in the West Bank, taking away the best resources, while basically imprisoning the population in Gaza. I am not high on the Palestinian leadership but why should they accept that farce of an "offer"?

The ICJ ruling is very clear: ALL settlements are illegal. The wall is illegal. The withdraw of settlers are NOT concessions.

[ma11ohad]

the future is a 2 state solution. Gaza have 3 borders one with Israel one with the sea and one with Egypt. hamas want to present reality like of south Africa BC Hamas agenda is a one state solution the will eventually change Israel as a jewish state and will make it an Arab Muslim state. this is not peace this is war for a long long time. the Israeli pressure on hamas eventually made them to start diplomacy with Egypt. that is I good step in the right way.

[Chomskyan]

And that's what Chomsky advocates. In fact, when he is asked about the one state solution, he criticize it very sharply, saying that it's just posturing, ignoring the realities. So what's the problem?

[monkeysmile1]

rubbish..what happened to the PLO , they were killed because they agreed to peace, so now the replacement hamas wants a total arab state, how convenient that is.lets kill the moderates ,squeeze the live out of the the people, enclose them in a prison,starve them of resources and call them radicals as we pound them with high tech missiles...not buying that

[ma11ohad]

settlement are illegal I've been fighting against them all my life. Israel is preparing to the widraw form the west bank and the redividing of Jerusalem. and they are trying to make sure thet in the final agreement we will get a constant Jewish area and not a plastian are. my point of view is that the bast way to go is leaving area instead of building more. but I still Jerusalem is major issue for most people of both side and they will fight for it.so I can see the logic even thou its wrong.

[Chomskyan]

He can't help if people misuse what he writes or say. If you are an activist you try to clarify, instead of shrill ad hominem.

And what ridiculous "theories" are you talking about? Be specific.

Personal details shouldn't matter, but I do know him a little bit, he is very from from an ego maniac as you charge. You can't offer any evidence of course.

[ma11ohad]

part2: he is also using and twisting ideas to fit with is narrow anarchists believes. attacking the Israelis gov left wing and right wing. attacking the us gov democrat and republican. and make our job ten times harder . we need all these people to make changes. it take 10 min to writ and idea on paper it takes many many years to make it happen on the ground. please Mr. Chomsky stop hurting the peace process. we need to convince the public that peace is the way

[Chomskyan]

His anarchist ideas does not enter into the discussion at all. What's wrong with attacking both the left and right in the US and Israel, when the whole obstacles to the peace process is bipartisan?

As far as criticizing the Arab leaders, they already get their share in the mainstream, to do it would be gratuitous. But even then he's called them thugs and corrupt all the time. Let's focus on the MAIN obstacles to peace, which is US- Israel's refusal to live up to the terms of the settlement.

[vdmerwe]

It's hard to pass over a comment which is so ignorant of facts, and which adopts the current revisionist myths about the history of the conflict.

Israel has the terms of International Law to 'live up to' by halting namely;

the occupation, torture, settlement activity, land apropriation, collective punishment, institutional and legislative racism, denial of refugee rights and the destruction of holy places.

[littleredbirdy]

If you knew about Islamic prophecy you would realize that Israel is NEVER going to be accepted. Unless, of course, it either totally removes itself altogether or Islam gets erased.

[suren1946]

wow, really? where can I find this prophecy? Please lemme know - is it somewhere in the Koran??

[Joshefendi]

youre very ignorant.

[Noonooooo]

he is one of the greatest men in the history of humanity ..

I really envy his students ..

[jk734]

i envy your students.....

[Noonooooo]

so u envy ur self :)

[k9a2g6]

Chomsky Rocks,he really put's the spotlight on the USA foreign policy's,and he proves to us the "Necessary Illusions"that our goverment provides it's citizens with,we the people demand the truth be spoken to power and Noam does one hell of a job in doing just that.

[sixtiksix]

I think this guy loses his credibility, at least with me, with statements like all 'mericans are responsible blah fukken blah and then goes on to indict individual 'mericans...blah blah blah Bush etc. It makes me think he is not coming totally clean with the whole story. Fortunately there is enough story telling to go around so each of us can find comfort from the one we choose.

lemme nough,

tik

[bootleg42]

Good video.

We need more videos like these on youtube. Too many far-right free-market wackos are on youtube. We need to balance it out with stuff like this.

[sacs1800]
