Israeli "Self Defense" - Noam Chomsky

Many people justify Israel's state-terrorist actions by claiming they're simply "defending" themselves. That, of course, is ridiculous, as Chomsky quickly explains.

The withdrawal from Gaza in 2005 was just a project to expand settlements in the West Bank. Also, there is a way for the rockets to stop: have Israel agree to the peace treaty, whidch lasted from June, 2008 until November, 2008, when Israel broke it and killed 6 Hamas members in Gaza.

Palestinians inhabited their land for thousands of years before the Synagogue of Satan stole it away in 1948 just as the native American indians inhabited their land for 11,000 years before it was stolen away.

@nicetidings exactly. What I find remarkable though, is that out of all but the zionists chose a name so related from the german term "Wehrmacht" for their army. Wehrmacht means "defence-force", and how is the israeli army called again?

@dappercad

good that you apologised and corrected your facts.

[dappercad]

@jameshanley40 My sincerest apologies, the source I was using was the guardian newspaper, an article I simply didn't read thoroughly enough before I leapt upon my high horse. Once more, you are not a liar and I apologise. Here are the numbers given by wikipedia for those interested. June : 245 rocket / mortar attacks on Israel, July : 12, Aug : 11, Sept : 4, Oct : 2. Then Israeli forces killed 7 Palestinians. Nov : 193.

Like many typing on the Internet, I'm not a good talker, Netanyahu can talk, but I think he's busy.

[AntonBatey]

@jameshanley40

Why?

[jameshanley40]

@AntonBatey

I only know myself, and I don't do interviews.

[AntonBatey]

@jameshanley40 Okay. Where the heck can I interview defenders of Israel at? I honestly cannot find any who are willing to actually talk.

[jameshanley40]

@AntonBatey

Sorry, I don't do interviews, but thank you for the invitation. I think the to and fro debate here is pretty good, and I think it's good to continue that, if that's ok with you.

@jameshanley40

James (I'm assuming that's your name - sorry if I'm wrong), do you think I can interview you for a project I have on the ISraeli-Palestinian conflict? I sent you a Private Message.

@trycoun

Abbas has made similar remarks like ""I have said more than once that if the Arabs want war - we are with them."" palwatch have caught him saying this 3 times in successive months. But this should be the presumption anyway after they've gone to war so many times and failed. And from what I gather, Islam teaches that when they have the power, when they can win, they should wage Jihad.
