Not an interview, more like, an interrogation , and , I am positive, Chomsky made sure not to enter Israel's jurisdiction and risk further complications .
i think the woman who interviewed Mr. Homsky was very good.
About Homsky himself - he's another person whose ego is too big to see his own blind attachment to his own [deluded, thho] theories and the bloody results of that.
Noam Chomsky - Green Snake Numero Uno! What most people do not know is that Chomsky is a devoted and Emotional Zionist Jew who had made plans to move with his Jewish family to Palestine feeling entitled to be a colonizer of Arabs based on his 'Jewishness'. He was for sanction and for boycott against apartheid South Africa, but not against his own people! Watch out!

You know that old saying "being a paranoid doesn't mean the threat does not exist". I agree that Israel should not make a huge deal out of everything. However, to say that Israel isn't threatened by external forces? that is either stupidity or naivety. This man sees Hamas and Hizballah on the same footing as Israel or the US, if not better, completely disregarding Islamic extremism and terrorism. I am sorry, but he's not elgible to judge or criticize Israel, being the "useful fool" he is.
@JayGatsbyOdysseus I cannot think of an instance where the United States has done good. Relative to everyone else, we give the lowest foreign aid. We've continually toppled Democracies because they didn't align with our interests. Even in WWII we were allies with Hitler until he declared war on us. There should be no praise of the United States foreign policy. However, Chomsky has repeatedly praised how Americans are the freest people in the world when it comes to speech.
Noam Chomsky is like Christopher Hitchens, they think linear. The truth is not a straight line. Yes, the USA and Israel have done some bad things, but they have also done some good things. Chomsky will not agree with this. Everything is bad. Hitches says that everything USA and Israel does in foreign policy is good. The truth is that there is a M-theory that proves there are many levels of truth, not a straight line. There is good and bad on each side. Chomsky and Hitchens do not engage.
@UnknownRex Yes, I've listened to a lot of what Chomsky has to say and I read his book Manufacturing of Consent. We have a free press here and we get plenty of objective truth. We are not mind controlled. Got to Russia or some place like that to get censored press. I think Chomsky just wants attention. The USA and Israel have done some bad things, yes, but they are not set up by their religion to kill other people just because these other people don't believe like them. Go live in Saudia
When was the last time your "free" media spent even 20 seconds (if at all) on TV to tell you that US used depleted uranium on Fallujah civilians or that your tax-dollars have been used to kill another pregnant woman in late night home searches in Kabul or killed another half dozen pre-teen kids elsewhere in Afghanistan from a helicopter equipped with state of the art vision equipment (i.e. no doubt they knew they were killing kids)?
Saudi Arabia or Islamic extremists haven't killed as many civilians as your military has, yet your media tells you that you are "good guys" even if you kill 4 million Vietnamese civilians or 1 million Iraqi civilians, disabled more millions and caused even more millions to become refugees.
At least two Muslim Americans are in jail for uploading a video on youtube, no violence, just uploading their views on youtube. Freedom of speech?
Do you know about the American mercenary killer named Raymond Davis? He killed two Pakistanis earlier this year and was arrested in Lahore, Pakistan. US government spent millions of Dollars to bring him out, and that killer was a free man until he assaulted an American and got arrested in the Colorado again recently. Ever heard of any of that on your mainstream media?
Since we are talking about Israel (recipient of more US aid than given to sub-Saharan Africa + Latin America combined), did your media tell you about the civilians the Israeli terrorists kills with our tax money? 1400 killed in 22 day just 3 years ago, more than 700 women and children. Hospitals, food depots, children's schools bombed with chemicals.
Mustafa Tamimi, unarmed protester in an Israeli occupied village Nabi Saleh, was recently shot in the face with tear a gas canister from a close range by an Israeli terrorist. Mustafa's face was smashed and he went into coma and eventually died. His crime? He was protesting for the right to access the only water well in the occupied village and protesting against ongoing stealing of land of natives for Jewish-only settlements for European and Australian Jews
@JayGatsbyOdysseus When you have to resort to invoking (er, well, trying to, at least) principles of quantum theory or variations of superstring theory in the attempt to have your political arguments make sense, you may want to reevaluate your approach... haha... At least you're good for entertainment...
@harvestcl Chomsky goes off on too many tangents. This is not why she cannot let him go on to some string of thought. This is showed in the classic interview by by Buckley back in '69. You can find it on here. Chomsky makes some good points but he is too rigid. MsTommyknocker makes the point that Islamic Political States allow and rape of women, no freedom of speech, all kinds of universally unethical behaviors because their sacred text espouses them.
@harvestcl Haha, I've listened to several Chomsky debates. They cannot let him talk for more than two minutes without interrupting, or ad homonym attacks.
On the other hand there is freedom of speech in Israel. There is NOT freedom of speech in Saudi Arabia, Syria, Egypt, lebanon, Iran, Somalia, Jordan Oman.
@MsTommyknocker Sure, there's freedom of speech to a high degree, not fully, though - from what I understand. But does that mean he can't criticize Israel? Just because other countries are "worse" doesn't mean progress shouldn't be encouraged in the somewhat "better". It's a very weak argument, and as he's expressed both that he's connected to the U.S and Israel and condemned the other countries lack of freedom too, so there's no double-standard. Israel must change it's policies.
I'm an Israeli, and it's very obvious to see from this interview how Jews and Israelis in particular still have in their racial consciousness (or sub) the idea that we are being threatened, chased after and that "someone is seeking to get us". considering the holocaust and the many years or persecution it is understandable that this sort of idea is deeply rooted in our minds. however, we must consider the self-prophecy of such a conviction and the logical examination of the real facts of threats

ameritus is shamelessly using lies and distortion nof truth when he describes
israelws prime enemies.
Ahmadinejad is not calling to destroy israel he just wishes it will not exist in the far future, and Nassrala is a peace seeking angle that accumulates weaponry for his own protection, bahh---what an evil and dishonbest mind
I'm a fan of Chomsky, and strong supporter of the Palestinian cause, but I don't understand all the criticism of the interviewer. She asked fair enough questions from an Israeli point of view, and allowed NC to answer fully.
An interviewer must challenge their subject to a certain extent, even if they agree with them. In fact the tougher the questioning the better, because it's only under strong challenge that you can truly win people over to your views.
@Dtchmastrkilla7 I watched the entire thing and I'm glad I did. Yes the interviewer is bad, but it just highlights the strength's of Chomsky's arguments. By the end of the interview she seemed to accept that Chomsky has legitimacy to his positions.
To all the non-israelis who read this - This is one of the most hated people in israel. The ass-kissing jurnalist that intervieud him does not represent the opinion of the averege israeli by any way. Infact, she is just as diguasting as he is.
Notice how she won't let him actually answer questions. Especially when he begins to prepare to demolish her world views (at about 17:00) and there is nothing for her to say except "I don't agree, lets change the subject before you demolish every belief I have."
you gentiles are Pathetic Always take some jew and make him god or Messiah just like the jesus and kerl marx and know this noam chomsky did you ever wondering why is this all your biggst gods and messiah and your intellectuals from right and left are jewish and you wonder how we the jews call are self the chosen people dont diss this
comment in 100 yreas from know your kids will things that holly histroy just like your Fathers Though't even the arebs belive in a jewish idea of god
the chutzpah of Dana Wiess to overtalk one of the most brilliant men of our time. God people have no humility. Let the man talk. And her own persoanl agenda in this interview is sad and utterly obvious. Israel is isolating itself and will destroy itself with these policies. Israel should have the rights of every nation and no more. No more rights than every other country. Period. Listen to Chomsky.
I am a citizen and resident of Israel and I half agree and half disagree with Chomsky. While he is right about Israel's policies harming itself, he is wrong about there being no threat to Israel from its neighbors. The problem with Israel's position in the world is that anything people say about it is a double edged sword. You either commit to Israel's actions and in so doing condone her destabilizing policies, or you condemn Israel's policies and isolate her, compromising here security.
I think Chomsky charms even the hardline interviewer at the end, and who wouldn't be charmed? If Jeremiah and Elijah and Isaiah were like him, Israel was a blessed nation. And I think Israel in the present day - for its own good, its own sake, should listen carefully to this one of its most enlightened sons, and take into serious consideration his words of real wisdom. The King Ahab types continue as well, though.
@Cefuroxx - she's not hostile at all. She simply tries to explain him the majority public opinion in Israel, and how they see it in their eyes. Her name is Dana Wais. She's considered a leftist, and very smart (she's also a lawyer).
@SUpersaiyajinjerkbag That's not true. As a matter of fact, I heard an interview with him on Fox News radio, of all places, in early February of this year.
When Chomsky spells out the illegality of the occupation under international law the interviewer cuts him off at 17:28 with "we can't solve that problem..it's complex...it's not black and white" and then switches to his relationship with his parents.
Wow I couldn't even see it to the end. It was the most terrible interviewer I had ever seen. Her questions were infantile, she was impatient and she just didn't let Prof. Chomsky to complete his answers. Biased, boring and annoying interview. It is a shame for the Israeli Media.
Should've let him explain why Goldstone, in his view, has given Israel "a gift". Most people haven't read it and don't know that Goldstone has given Israel a major dispensation. Namely, he overlooked the pretext for the operation, he didn't bother exploring the question of whether Israel has peaceful alternatives, which were so obvious Israel's head of the Shin Bet noted them. Israel could've renewed the cease fire since, as Yuval Diskin said as late as December 21 2008, Hamas was in favor.
the palestinians is a myth, there is no really palestinians. they are all arabs and have 23 countries, 23!. they do have places to go, many of them got jordanian ID's.
the palestinian nation created just few decades ago.
it's have only one purpse: kicking? the jews out of Israel.so..fuck alah(no exist,is a fiction),coran,islam,pakistan ,iran.egypt syria,and all of the countryes who dare to atack Israel The Hand of God our Father!!!Viva Israel The Gods people!!!Amin.
@mouad3p learn u before u speak..readThe Holy Bible my friend..belive in Jessus Christ,are u blind? you don.t see all around you ..all explination who can trust is in The Holly Bible,God loves us,we don.t love God,we are bad peoples..!!!Viva Israel!!!Amin.
"Iran's Jewish community is officially recognized as a religious minority group by the government, and, like the Zoroastrians, they are allocated one seat in the Iranian Parliament"
Yes. He is opposed to Israel as a JEWISH state. He is not opposed to Israel as a state. Please listen to what he says.
Would you support South Africa as a white christian state? I suppose you would not. The why would you support Israel as a JEWISH state? Shouldn't Israel be a state for everyone? Are you a racist?
@urielrabo Second, do israelies and zionists kill paletinian because of ahmadinejad speechs?!?! What is the relation between israel brutalities against palestinian and ahmadinejad words! It has as much relation with those word as it has relation with holocaust! Why should Israel misuse the feelings of world people about holocaust to legtimize its wrong performance in Palestine?
@urielrabo First, please look pricely at what ahmadinejad have told in these 5 years and what he have exactly did! there is no connection between what he is saying and what he is doing! so please do not refer to what he says because his speechs are mostly like jokes. You can ask it from other iranians and they will tell you! So, please do not say "Iran dont..." Iran and Iranians are not antisemitic or antijew. They are just againts zionists who are the most brutalists of the current world!
Brilliant stuff. I hope the interviewer was only trying to keep her job. She makes a very good job of portraying the solipsistic indignation of much of the Israeli establishment. Good on her for giving the interview more zest by highlighting Chomsky's reasoned insight and his brilliance at countering aggressive bigotry.
You can't fault the interviewer for being hostile to Mr. Chomsky when her employer chose her for the job intended and instructed her on how to proceed.
I am so pleased to see with what ease Mr. Chomsky can answer her questions without leaving space for misleading edits.
Every so often, Chomsky must become very sad at the state of the intellects he has to argue with. She isn't a journalist - she's a pub bore who's watched too much Fox
Yeah, the interviewer is really annoying me, she has the fixed motive to undermine Noam Chomsky's view once and for all. What annoyed me most is she asked "What if you're wrong?", a very stupid question because you have to identify what exactly is wrong with the position someone is arguing for; By asking this question you are trying to force the opponent to say "Then I am wrong" which misleads the opponent to admit that he/she is wrong. Such rubbish.
@philonous09 She's obviously asking what if he is wrong about the idea that if Israel pulls out of the disputed territories, that will end the conflict. Because Israels point of view is Muslims want to destroy the whole country. And if they withdraw from the territories it will just be a strategic asset for Muslims to attack major Israeli cities killing a huge amount of Israelis. She means what he demands of Israel is essentially asking Jews to risk their lives and country, and what if hes wrong
@IBeatUpThugs So? That doesn't meant that the question she was asking is a good and valid one. Merely asking a person "What if you're wrong" is not good enough because it assumes a hypothetical situation in which a person in question is wrong. What we should really be concerned about is the actual situation that objectively assesses the person's opinions. In that light we should find out if there are specific inaccuracies and flaws in the person's criticism, rather than hypothesize them.
The reporter keeps asking an important question, what if he's wrong. The world can say Israel should do X,Y,Z. But if they're wrong there's no consequence to them. If they're wrong and Israelis die or Israel is destroyed they won't care. To ask Israel in times of war to simply disarm itself and give up key territories is asking it to gamble with it's existence. There's no gamble for Arabs to stop fighting. Israel isn't interested in wiping out Arabs. So why doesn't he put this pressure on them.
He's saying that Israel continuing on its current course of military aggression IS undermining its security and moving it toward ultimate destruction. So whatever policy that Israel chooses entails a risk, and the risk of pursuing peaceful alternatives happens to be exponentially smaller in this case.
@metalshredder09 That isn't true at all. The risk is smaller to you. The risk is huge to Israel. The risk for Arabs to stop attacking Israel is nothing. They can stop at any time and Israel would not attack them. We can look at history and see what happens when Israel tries to get peace by giving up territory. Arabs attack more.
Arabs are clearly the aggressors. And have consistently attacked Israel for decades. Because Israel is the one engaging in defense it's ridiculous to tell them to stop.
Really? Who is illegally occupying the West and Bank and Gaza as the result of an unprovoked war of aggression? Who massacred Gazans with white phosphorus? Who killed 20,000 Lebanese in an unprovoked attack?
@IBeatUpThugs it's an oxymoron to call the invasion of land outside your countries borders an act of defence, in other words, it's an impossible statement. if you fight on your own land, its defence, if you fight on somebody elses, its aggression. this is indisputable.
He revealed something important in this interview. He doesn't talk about Darfur because he can't do anything about it. And this is why the world is so stupid. It is more critical and demanding of Israel because as Chomsky shows even he knows Israel is the more reasonable and sensible party. Pure spinelessness attacking and condeming whoever is more decent and say nothing to those who are pure evil. Israel is penalized for being more rational and peaceful.
@philonous09 - I don't think you fully understood the interviewer. First of all, they're both very intelligent. Dana Wiess is a leading journalist in Israel, and is very professional and sensitive.
This interview was made for Israeli TV channel , for Israeli public opinion. What she meant to ask him, and I know because I'm also an Israeli, is what if he is wrong in his concept, and Ahmadinijad will indeed try to destroy Israel by atomic bomb? All his criticism then won't matter then..
@ofri75 I know what the interviewer had in mind when she asked Noam Chomsky the question "What if you're wrong", mainly that his criticism against Israel wouldn't be as effective. However the problem with this question is that instead of finding flaws in Chomsky's arguments, it is inquiring Chomsky what his position would be like if he is in a hypothetical situation in which his position is wrong. What should concern us is not the hypothetical situation but the actual situation.
@ofri75 Also, another problem is that if that's what she intended when the asked the question "What if you're wrong" that doesn't necessarily entail that EVERY criticism that Chomsky made is wrong. It seems to me that the question is used in the context of Israeli and Iran, then Chomsky is simply wrong about that, rather than being wrong about everything. However I apologize for failing to recognize Dana as a leading journalist, but I still think her question is problematic for the reason above.
Let me explain to you in layman's terms what she was saying to him.
"You stupid fuck who sits in an ivory tower. It's very nice that you have these grand ideas about what SHOULD be and to rely on what her enemies are saying. What happens if you're wrong and Israel is blown to smitherines?"
This was a refreshing interview. Instead of the interviewer kissing his ass, this bitchy woman at least asked follow-up questions and pressed him.
@TheOtherView I agree with you that people's views should be questioned, including that of Chomsky's, but my problem is that her questions were not very good questions. Instead of finding inconsistencies and evidences against his argument, which are great ways to criticize an argument, she simply asks "oh, what if you're wrong" which is merely a question that proposes a HYPOTHETICAL ERROR in Chomsky's views, not an ACTUAL DEMONSTRATIVE ERROR, that is why i'm not impressed by her interview.
@TheOtherView no she did not. She was no interested at all in listening to him. Constant interruption, changing topics, nonsensical assumptions and attacks. This was not an interview, it was an attempt at an attack on his character.
i know the situation is bad , and no one can defend it , but who went and funded the south of sudan to rebel and filled thir minds with creating their own country ??
THE WEST AND specially UK ,
classic divide and conqure , lets see the southern stats in the US want to make their own country and what will u do.
Worse interviewer I've ever seen. Yes, it is a bit refreshing to see an aggressive reporter, given the wimps we're used to in the US. But aggressive in what cause? She tries to put words in Chomsky's mouth, ascribes views to him which he does not hold, repeats lies--e.g. Iran has a nuclear weapon. She just a more gentile version of Bill O'Reilly.
is there anyone out there capable of taking on Chomsky? The guy is a phenomenon. He doesn't pull any punches about Dershowitz either, does he?! Seriously impressive stuff. Fair play to the interviewer though, she gives it her best shot.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Chomsky is a traitor,because of self hating bullshit polluting pigs like him,the world sees the Jew as some Liberal Leftist Fucktard who is destroying civilization with Multiculturalism
As an American, I am proud to say that this man is my hero! He truly stands for humanity. For once someone telling Israel and our American leaders what is truly right morally without fear. CAN YOU IMAGINE ONE OF OUR MAINSTREAM MEDIA LEFT OR RIGHT DARE PAUSE SUCH QUESTIONS and LAST LONG!
I thought the interviewer was excellent - she gave Chomsky the perfect foil against which to expound his arguments. If the interview wasn't combative it would have given them both nowhere near as much publicity as it has. They both performed extremely well.
When they film her the focus in on the flowers in the back, but he is in perfect focus. Makes her blurry and we focus more on Chomsky, he is in fact "sharper". I wonder if this is intentional.
ha ha, what a bitch, always trying to outsmart Chomsky with leading questions and trying to make him look as an enemy of israel. He totally schooled her.
Chomsky needs reporters with the disposition of this lady to interview him - the man is a legend of conscience and I fail to understand why any civilised society or reporter for that matter fall short of using his insight/understanding unless of course, his supposition on the disposition of both the American and Israeli Governments are in reality a simple truth.
She is poorly prepared, impolite, disruptive and fickle in her exertion of her journalistic duty. If Noam Chomsky wouldn't be a man of dignity he simply would have left the interview after a few minutes.
most of prof.chomsky's assertions are legitimate to educated people but not to the majority of people in the world that from time to time (or for lack of logic) wish the jewish people may not have a homeland , be amongst them and ultimately not be at all ...and therein lies the danger.
noam chomsky is great as usual!!but tht woman well she tries to be one!!but alas she is clueless!!

Since we are talking about Israel (recipient of more US aid than given to sub-Saharan Africa + Latin America combined), did your media tell you about the civilians the Israeli terrorists kills with our tax money? 1400 killed in 22 day just 3 years ago, more than 700 women and children. Hospitals, food depots, children's schools bombed with chemicals.

Mustafa Tamimi, unarmed protester in an Israeli occupied village Nabi Saleh, was recently shot in the face with tear a gas canister from a close range by an Israeli terrorist. Mustafa's face was smashed and he went into coma and eventually died. His crime? He was protesting for the right to access the only water well in the occupied village and protesting against ongoing stealing of land of natives for Jewish-only settlements for European and Australian Jews

@harvestcl Chomsky goes off on too many tangents. This is not why she cannot let him go on to some string of thought. This is showed in the classic interview by by Buckley back in '69. You can find it on here. Chomsky makes some good points but he is too rigid. MsTommyknocker makes the point that Islamic Political States allow and rape of women, no freedom of speech, all kinds of universally unethical behaviors because their sacred text espouses them.

@MsTommyknocker Sure, there's freedom of speech to a high degree, not fully, though - from what I understand. But does that mean he can't criticize Israel? Just because other countries are "worse" doesn't mean progress shouldn't be encouraged in the somewhat "better". It's a very weak argument, and as he's expressed both that he's connected to the U.S and Israel and condemned the other countries lack of freedom too, so there's no double-standard. Israel must change it's policies.

An interviewer must challenge their subject to a certain extent, even if they agree with them. In fact the tougher the questioning the better, because it's only under strong challenge that you can truly win people over to your views.

I am a citizen and resident of Israel and I half agree and half disagree with Chomsky. While he is right about Israel's policies harming itself, he is wrong about there being no threat to Israel from its neighbors. The problem with Israel's position in the world is that anything people say about it is a double edged sword. You either commit to Israel's actions and in so doing condone her destabilizing policies, or you condemn Israel's policies and isolate her, compromising here security.

The King Ahab types continue as well, though.

Should've let him explain why Goldstone, in his view, has given Israel "a gift". Most people haven't read it and don't know that Goldstone has given Israel a major dispensation. Namely, he overlooked the pretext for the operation, he didn't bother exploring the question of whether Israel has peaceful alternatives, which were so obvious Israel's head of the Shin Bet noted them. Israel could've renewed the cease fire since, as Yuval Diskin said as late as December 21 2008, Hamas was in favor.

Yeah, the interviewer is really annoying me, she has the fixed motive to undermine Noam Chomsky's view once and for all. What annoyed me most is she asked "What if you're wrong?", a very stupid question because you have to identify what exactly is wrong with the position someone is arguing for; By asking this question you are trying to force the opponent to say "Then I am wrong" which misleads the opponent to admit that he/she is wrong. Such rubbish.

@philonous09 She's obviously asking what if he is wrong about the idea that if Israel pulls out of the disputed territories, that will end the conflict. Because Israels point of view is Muslims want to destroy the whole country. And if they withdraw from the territories it will just be a strategic asset for Muslims to attack major Israeli cities killing a huge amount of Israelis. She means what he demands of Israel is essentially asking Jews to risk their lives and country, and what if hes wrong
IBeatUpThugs 1 year ago
@IBeatUpThugs So? That doesn't meant that the question she was asking is a good and valid one. Merely asking a person "What if you're wrong" is not good enough because it assumes a hypothetical situation in which a person in question is wrong. What we should really be concerned about is the actual situation that objectively assesses the person's opinions. In that light we should find out if there are specific inaccuracies and flaws in the person's criticism, rather than hypothesize them.
philonous09 10 months ago
The reporter keeps asking an important question, what if he's wrong. The world can say Israel should do X,Y,Z. But if they're wrong there's no consequence to them. If they're wrong and Israelis die or Israel is destroyed they won't care. To ask Israel in times of war to simply disarm itself and give up key territories is asking it to gamble with it's existence. There's no gamble for Arabs to stop fighting. Israel isn't interested in wiping out Arabs. So why doesn't he put this pressure on them.
IBeatUpThugs 1 year ago
@IBeatUpThugs
He's saying that Israel continuing on its current course of military aggression IS undermining its security and moving it toward ultimate destruction. So whatever policy that Israel chooses entails a risk, and the risk of pursuing peaceful alternatives happens to be exponentially smaller in this case.
metalshredder09 1 year ago
@metalshredder09 That isn't true at all. The risk is smaller to you. The risk is huge to Israel. The risk for Arabs to stop attacking Israel is nothing. They can stop at any time and Israel would not attack them. We can look at history and see what happens when Israel tries to get peace by giving up territory. Arabs attack more.
Arabs are clearly the aggressors. And have consistently attacked Israel for decades. Because Israel is the one engaging in defense it's ridiculous to tell them to stop.

@IBeatUpThugs it's an oxymoron to call the invasion of land outside your countries borders an act of defence, in other words, it's an impossible statement. if you fight on your own land, its defence, if you fight on somebody elses, its aggression. this is indisputable.

He revealed something important in this interview. He doesn't talk about Darfur because he can't do anything about it. And this is why the world is so stupid. It is more critical and demanding of Israel because as Chomsky shows even he knows Israel is the more reasonable and sensible party. Pure spinelessness attacking and condeming whoever is more decent and say nothing to those who are pure evil. Israel is penalized for being more rational and peaceful.
Chomsky is a dangerous liar.
IBeatUpThugs 1 year ago
@philonous09 - I don't think you fully understood the interviewer. First of all, they're both very intelligent. Dana Wiess is a leading journalist in Israel, and is very professional and sensitive.
This interview was made for Israeli TV channel , for Israeli public opinion. What she meant to ask him, and I know because I'm also an Israeli, is what if he is wrong in his concept, and Ahmadinijad will indeed try to destroy Israel by atomic bomb? All his criticism then won't matter then..
ofri75 10 months ago
@ofri75 I know what the interviewer had in mind when she asked Noam Chomsky the question "What if you're wrong", mainly that his criticism against Israel wouldn't be as effective. However the problem with this question is that instead of finding flaws in Chomsky's arguments, it is inquiring Chomsky what his position would be like if he is in a hypothetical situation in which his position is wrong. What should concern us is not the hypothetical situation but the actual situation.
philonous09 10 months ago
@ofri75 Also, another problem is that if that's what she intended when the asked the question "What if you're wrong" that doesn't necessarily entail that EVERY criticism that Chomsky made is wrong. It seems to me that the question is used in the context of Israeli and Iran, then Chomsky is simply wrong about that, rather than being wrong about everything. However I apologize for failing to recognize Dana as a leading journalist, but I still think her question is problematic for the reason above.

Let me explain to you in layman's terms what she was saying to him.
"You stupid fuck who sits in an ivory tower. It's very nice that you have these grand ideas about what SHOULD be and to rely on what her enemies are saying. What happens if you're wrong and Israel is blown to smitherines?"
This was a refreshing interview. Instead of the interviewer kissing his ass, this bitchy woman at least asked follow-up questions and pressed him.

@TheOtherView I agree with you that people's views should be questioned, including that of Chomsky's, but my problem is that her questions were not very good questions. Instead of finding inconsistencies and evidences against his argument, which are great ways to criticize an argument, she simply asks "oh, what if you're wrong" which is merely a question that proposes a HYPOTHETICAL ERROR in Chomsky's views, not an ACTUAL DEMONSTRATIVE ERROR, that is why i'm not impressed by her interview.
