Israel is nothing like South Africa under Apartheid. israel is a liberal democracy and a multicultural open society, South Africa was a racist, dictatorial one-party state. No comparison. Victory to the IDF!

Noam Chomsky repeatedly denied the Cambodian genocide and claimed that "the 'slaughter' of the Khmer Rouge was a New York Times creation." He is the moral equivalent of a holocaust denier. Chomsky's "anti-zionism" it is a PR victory for Israel.
