Even Chomsky, a pro Palestinian activist, criticizes the BDS, the idea behind it, and some of the people who support it!

@Cefuroxx I have never heard him say give up. What I hear him say seems reasonable. Do actions that will help you, or at least think about the consequences of your actions. I can't believe he could have been more lucid. Were we watching the same interview?

@liosama

If you are not anti-semitic or a hypocrite, then why are you not boycotting Chomsky, since he teaches at an American university, and in his own words "Israeli crimes are a fraction of US crimes"?

@237Michael Than stop using YouTube. YouTube is developed by Google which does a lot of their development in Israel...

Best of luck.

Though Chomsky is a great man, when it comes to the BDS campaign he really misses the nail here. It's a shame not to have his support, especially when he himself is not allowed to speak at Israeli universities.

no mention of average intelligence and education in the ideals of good government between adversaries here. Ask La Griffe du Lion to analyze related statistics. Perhaps that could provide some clue to a settlement. And what of Rothschilds' grand Zionist plans cultivated for a hundred or so years for a Jewish homeland? You seem to focus so much on injustice and fairness that I wonder whether you have become myopic .. What did Sykes-Picot and Balfour documents have to do with the US?

[237Michael]

I think Prof. Chomsky is mistaken on that.

Israel is a Lunatic State... I boycott Israel. 

[RobertWhitlock]

Can you please tell me exactly how BDS will harm Palestinians more than they are already being harmed?

Isn't the idea of nonviolent resistance to show honorable self-sacrifice in order to gain respect of people?

Will Professor Chomsky call for an international boycott against the United States?

[Cefuroxx]

He is a traitor and I can’t believe I ever trusted him. He is a disgusting person who lies and uses his influence to hurt Palestinians and sow divisions among activists, because he is a closet Zionist. This is obvious if you read his work closely. I hope people in the movement turn their backs on him. We don’t need people like him influencing us or telling us that “Palestinians should just give up and be realistic because of international concensus

J Glatzer courageously telling the truth.
