Chomsky on Gaza (1 of 5)

[urbanagain]

I get sick of people calling anyone who is against Israel an anti-Semite....

what a cop out...

Israel and the U.S. are sleeping together in some kind of sick bed.

[swisssnowmobile]

Chomsky keeps to facts, truth and justice. This is his strength. His arguments are clear and denuded of flowery adjectives

[pplayer666]

Chomsky is an ANTISEMITE!

[QuantumProphet]

@pplayer666 and you are a prosemite?. I dont give a fuck :) I just dont like religious nuts on any denomination, all are mad as venomenous rabbits ready for a barbeque in September, whatever that means :D

[phantomofmyopera]

He has talked about the wall between Mexico and the US, but even if he hadn't he has every right to comment on Israel or any other country for that matter, especially if it's being supported by the country he resides and pays taxes in. I'm sure he knows more about Israel than you do!

[lucidmnd]

This is a selfish, self-righteous, senseless struggle. Look at the context of history, and I think we should declare Israel as Human Heritage to be shared by ALL (or none)! !

p.s. it should be governed by an international group of aethiest :D

QED :D :D

[esdevil4u]

It really bothers me that Chomsky is so bright, yet his loathing of Jews and Israel blinds him to most truths. In the beginning of the speech, he asserts that every move made by Israel on this "campaign" was calculated, including the mass slaughter of those helpless civilians. He offers no support for his claims, other than the knowledge we all possess which tells us he is always right. In my dumb opinion, I think he saw a good market to make money by being a self loathing Jew.

[PloughTheSky]

Well, seeing that the pretexts for the massacre were, as usual, completely laughable for any rational and well-informed person, I can forgive Chomsky for thinking that every move on this campaign was calculated.

What anti-Jew things did Chomsky say?

[imranrmvarif]

I heard im say we know from the israeli press both stages were maticuluosly calculated! - i know from reading haarets online that he's right..its no secret esdevil4u !!!!!

[califab]

What is the truth in your opinion?

Is it that Israel can do whatever it want without respect to international law?

Does the truth means killing Palestinian children is allowed?

Shame on you! Your heart is filled with hatred and ignorance, you can't see the truth even if it hits you on the face. People are dying in Gaza and their only crime is that they were born there. Israel has no moral authority, Israelis are uncivilized animals, they do not belong in the International community.

[helenbransgrove]

The real "self-loathing Jew" is one like you who supports the Hitlerian policies of the Judeo-Nazi state of Israel.

[chanlately]

CUDOZ! we applaud soldiers but ALL murder of innocent is murder 1.the soldier's tolerance & compassion for a child on the battle lines has got to be as short as the distance between that soldier's ears.the term 'good soldier' is an oxymoron.war by any other name is murder.soldier by any other name is killer.war is wrong.God never had war in mind.simply think for 1 minute the real reason war is waged and you must come to the end that it is sin.

[icefiresalvation]

Thank you God. You Americans are finally waking up.

[weebina]

Thanks for posting .

[18BravoSupaTrupa]

I was a Right Wing Christian vet\patriot and die hard support of Israel.....that is until my unit trained with the IDF and learned IMMEDIATELY that Zionist Jews (Edomites) just how much hatred and contempt these evil cowards have for Americans and especially Christians.

These Edomites have conned the Evangelicals into supporting anything and everything they do to the Arabs based on a God and a Religion that in NOT compatible with the truth or history...they are the REAL masters of deceit!

[Emyousmusa]

Isreal is not innocent the same level the media put Hamas Isreal has been at that level, the only defferents is that Isreal has the weapons of technology to kill obvioiusly more people on the other side and use the excuse that they either didn't know, or what ever they use to excuse themselfs, he is laying the facts on both side on the table

[cherrygc]

The fact is that 80% of the jews dead during the "holocaust" became jews after they died, Russia lost 72 million ppl in WWII and they are not going around the world trying to murder everyone

[omitsura]

I heard around 20-30M people, where did you get 72M?

[RSFO]

He must have missplaced the digits. It was more like 27 million, you see.

[cherrygc]

Right!, thank you

[gunut4FMJ]

What do you put quotes around "holocaust?" They became Jews after they died?  WTF? Your association with Russia is laughable at best.

[cherrygc]

I mean that as per israel one jew is worth 100 gentiles they gave that ridiculous 6 MM figure in WW2 by adding two zeroes to the actual number, they needed to look like victims in order to complete they plan

[gunut4FMJ]

So you are saying that 60,000 Jews were killed during the holocause instaed of 6 million?

[imranrmvarif]

thefigure of 6 million appeared after ww1 in a pro jewish newsaper in america .. google it for an image of teh print and details of its author(s)..

[imranrmvarif]

New York Times, May 23, 1919, p. 12. "the american hebrew" - google it.. go to image search and select teh image iwth title teh american hebrew ..it has all teh details .. and mentioned 6 million jews dead - it was fundraising propoganda and appeared in 1919 . check it out .. dont beleive me !

[Rockerboy2007]

Did Nazis kill Jews bcos the Jews formed a "human shield"??

[regulate112]

lol ...well said ...the Zionazi Jews are plain hypocrites

[TasinAkiwo]

"Zionazi", I'm gonna use that term from now on.

Fuck racism, imperialism, and the zionazism those two spawned.

[Meloman0001]

I'd say its more likely that you're a religious nut, but that's just my opinion. And i think in your heart of hearts u don't want the Palestinians to have a state of their own. That u might use the Hamas rockets to justify your hatred of them, but in fact ur hate, your lies and your justification is horrifyingly reminiscent of a European country in the 20th century. Where's ur humanity for the people suffering? "Your on the wrong side of history", to borrow Obama's words.

[micahgee]

lol hes not a commie

and hes not selling anything =)

just listen

[indieoak]

You believe yourself to be a christian? WWJD? Not revel in killing people and naive nationalist pride. Pretty ironic who is calling who a scum bag. Your screen name is quite appropriate. Plankton: the aggregate of passively floating, drifting, or somewhat motile organisms occurring in a body of water, primarily comprising microscopic algae and protozoa. By definition, organisms classified as plankton are unable to resist ocean currents. Seems like you too follow blindly without thinking.

[18BravoSupaTrupa]

There's a hot one looking to find you.....let it!

[ice9001]

Chomsky bringing home the truth once again .

[oystersdobleed]

I think Duantuideguaiwu's comment on public speaking is irrelevant. I would say the opposite, and suspect anyone with amazing speechmaking talent. It's easier to be misled by them.

[szatmar666]

The Israeli mindset: whatever pain they inflict on the Palestinian population is nothing compared to the nazi holocaust. so is being called nazis by the rest of the world: a small price to pay for reaching the ultimate goal of an Israel that includes territories they are stealing while preempting peace talks via violence. the problem of course is that in reality they are simply fulfilling US geostrategic goals that will become obsolete when oil becomes obsolete. Israel can only lose this game.

[Duantuideguaiwu]

This guy's a nazi.

[dbar332]

I dont know how you can say chomsky is a nazi and a bad public speaker. first of all he is 80 years old so you dont need to condem his public speaking and second he has devoted his life to selfless ingenuity and human rights. he often talks about and criticizes current nazi regimes aka the united states because they essentially are one. Professor Chomsky has done astronomically more with his life then you will ever do. so get your facts straight you ignorant fuck

[Duantuideguaiwu]

Chomsky's contributions have all been rife with failure. He's just a fringe asshole looking to make a buck on the average retard.

[Flinch4jesus]

If he's looking to make a buck (and I've seen no good reason to believe this), he makes up for it by donating that "buck" to the organizations he delivers talks on behalf of. That's what he did at a fundraiser in Toronto, for example, for the indie magazine Canadian Dimension a few years back, according to its organizers. He didn't accept any pay. In fact, he even stayed at an organizer's home to avoid hotel costs. (They paid his airfare.)

[ice9001]

Yeh right the truth hurts does`nt it and the guy is jewish . A lot of jewish people in Isreal would agree with him they know whats going on is wrong the abused have becme the abuser . Palastine is one big concentration camp much like Krakow .Isreal should be ashamed of what going on you would thik after what befell them in their past they would not treat another people like they were treated .

[1MoreMuslim]

The ultimate Zionist response: Any one who questions a zionist murderer is anti-semite or a Nazi. Your trick is getting old. The Holocaust is an old business , it woks only for dummies who are giving you billions of dollars.

[KAZVorpal]

@1MoreMuslim Let's be clear: the self-described Zionists are, themselves, far more philosophically and culturally linked to Naziism (and Stalinism) than their opponents.

In fact, they are anti-Judaic, in philosophy and even in a real cultural sense. Judaism is peaceful, empathetic, and positive, while Zionism is violent, sociopathic, and negative.

It's no surprise that so many Zionists are atheists, as well as being culturally from Germany or the Soviet Union.

[shurednichso]

@KAZVorpal

Thats the most fucked up explanation for the crimes of zionism i heared so far.

[KAZVorpal]

@shurednichso If you are disputing my assertions, you need to do so with some actual reasoning, facts, or at least by specifying what parts you disagree with, and why.

There is, as far as I know, no debate about the self-described Zionists being mostly central European types of the same origins as the Nazi and Soviet cultures, and that many are/were atheists. Certainly they have tended to be opponents of the Orthodox Jews, who used to be THE Jews, and philosophically/culturally still are.

[Duantuideguaiwu]

Oh my god this guy's a terrible public speaker.

[bajawind]

along with the yanks. which drives me nuts, its your war mongers not the population--but you all get tagged just the same. too bad.

[Rockerboy2007]

Israel is one of the worst terrorist states

[krakatau666]

Really? Not Palestine, the people and "state" that elected the Hamas, the very terrorist organization that launched rockets at Israeli civilians the very day their cease fire agreement ended, terrorizing people regardless of their race and creed, the very same organization that uses its own people as human shields...but Israel, literally, the only democratic state in the middle east?

[Rockerboy2007]

Israel is not democratic just bcos it is supported by US. 13 Israeli deaths vs 1400 Palestinian deaths, most of them civilians, a third of them children. You do the math.

[coffeebeaner]

What are the countries we don't speak of?

[wnxsilence]

You idiotic American pigs, claiming that Chomsky is "biased, against Israel" in this video's comments are clearly mentally impaired.

Chomsky himself is a Jew, how could he be biased against Israel? He simply cares for human life, as any moral person should...And if human life is taken by Israel, this does not make the murder noble. 1200 innocent civilians where murdered by Israel using American weopons, this is a fact, NOT a opinion.

[krakatau666]

What about all the palestenians that HAMAS and Fatwah killed because of their power struggle? What about all the civilians that the Egyptian border police killed? Why doesn't Egypt give back land to the Palestinians the way Israel gave back land to Palestine and the Sinai Desert to Egypt? Why doesn't Egypt allow humanitarian aid to enter Palestine? Why does Egypt allow weapons to be smuggled into Palestine? I'll tell you why, because they don't care about human life, they just want Israel dead.

[Emyousmusa]

Some degree true concerning the break down of Isreal, but Egypt is in the pocket of the U.S. just pay attention to how are government helps them, But Isreal is not innocent the same level the media put Hamas Isreal has been at that level, the only defferents is that Isreal has the weapons of technology to kill obvioiusly more people on the other side and use the excuse that they either didn't know, or what ever they use to excuse themselfs, he is laying the facts on both side on the table.

[medellin27]

Chomsky is a linguist. His opinions on international politics are inconsistent and biased. He picks and chooses what information will support his arguments, leaving out any incovenient facts. His only authority on a subject is as a linguist. Anything else that comes out of his mouth should be regarded as uninformed, biased bull, not as gospel.

[Irtidad]

Argument please?

[medellin27]

You are asuming that he has all the facts. And that he is unbiased. There is no argument I can make. All I need to know is that he is not intellectually honest. He is not an authority on anything except...Well anything! His self professed anarchist views contrast with the "moral authority" he seems to convey and relishes dispensing. If I see another video of Chomsky pontificating I am going to hurl.

[Irtidad]

"Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people." - Eleanor Roosevelt.

You, sir, are talking about a person, completing circumventing any substantive talk whatsoever.

[Irtidad]

Also, how did you come to presume that I am "asuming" (sic) that he has "all the facts" and is "unbiased"? I simply asked for an argument, i.e. make a substantive statement, don't just talk about the speaker.

[KentAllard]

"His self professed anarchist views contrast with the "moral authority" he seems to convey and relishes dispensing." - what?

[myklee]

"He is not an authority on anything except...Well anything!"

Besides the fact that just about every modern notion of linguistics came from his ideas.

[KentAllard]

are you an accredited expert on international politics? If not, then he's as valid as you are.

[medellin27]

Exactly. He's as valid as I am.

[KentAllard]

so does that mean you are admitting you are "inconsistent and biased" and that you "picks and chooses what information will support (your) arguments, leaving out any incovenient facts"?

[jhkjhlkjh]

You don't have to be an authority on anything to realize that children and nonviolent citizens, humans, are being slaughtered.

You're a jerk and idiot to argue such a trivial point.

As it mocks the deaths of hundreds of innocent humans. Cruel and wicked.

May you be chained naked to a slab of white phosphorus.

[KentAllard]

you dont need any authority at all for politics, it is common sense not a highly complex science. That sort of thinking is very deliberate, it is to marginalise the population so that the Smart People can carry on their business without interference from the bewildered herd

[yeghol]

thank you for posting this.

Boycott & Sanction Israel, the mad dog in the Middle East.

[CamfrogCapper]

This is insane, if Israel wanted to attack civilians they could a much better job.

[PlasticJesus341]

Israelis dont want to attack too many civilians, just the right amount

[jammoexii]

They just want to kill enough that Arabs are reminded that Israel is willing to be violent and destructive whenever it wants, killing whomever it wants for whatever reason. It turns out you don't actually have to kill that many people to do that.

[KentAllard]

hasn't it all been an election campaign?

[KentAllard]

education infrastructure

[krakatau666]

Yes, you're right Israel wants to attack all those "civilians" that aide terrorists and are terrorists themselves.

[Irtidad]

200 people in 2 minutes, and you say they can still do a "better" job?

[Cefuroxx]

thanks boss

[Jihunn]

when was this talk?

[yrrmom]

Jan 13

[buddhagem]

Thanks brother!

[Irtidad]

Thanks for posting this (the video on MIT's website was being very very slow to load).

Yep.

Appreciate the upload.
