Chomsky: Hillary Clinton Fears BDS Because It Counters Decades of US Support for Israeli Aggression

[@EdwardJordanTheOriginal]

As the first Jewish candidate for a major party in history, Bernie has the most principled and nuanced approach to Israel and Palestine. The USA has had an unethical position for decades towards the Palestinian people and that MUST end if actual peace between Muslim nations and the west will ever come to pass.

[@nycalien]

And Hillary is trying to be Jewish than actual Jews,

[@Zaccheus4]

+Malith Perera not Jewish but nationalist for israel

[@spktruth200]

Its also why the Associated Press (owned by the Zionist Rothchilds) and NBC called the election for Clinton on june 6 before the votes were taken in 6 states on june 7. she is a Zionist supported by Zionists.

[@scientism2968]

Over a Billion people in the West, and over 1.5 Billion Muslims in 56 Muslim states, and "peace between Muslim nations and the West" is to do with a tiny ONE jewish state with population smaller than NYC...? I think you need to see your doctor.

[@shonnyNOR]

Rather, YOU need to get a bit of knowledge about the matter. Israel would never have been the hobby-Nazi state it is today without uncritical US support, which again is promoted through AIPAC and other rotten US-Israel alliances. But then again the US itself is the greatest committer of war crimes since WW2, with Israel following suit. Sadly, Europeans haven't got the guts to boycott neither Israel nor the US, but just dance to the American tune.

[@vulcanfeline]

i particularly like how clinton calls for free and open dialogue as long as it agrees with her :/

[@philipbrailey]

Do some mor study. Use KZbin. Have a look at Pof Finklestein

[@mattydigs]

She's a feminist, remember?

[@Jordan-uz9me]

Free and open bombing

[@ajaypasricha9855]

"I don't understand how you can run a country when you are under constant attack." -Hillary Clinton I would love to know how the people of Haiti, Cuba, Nicaragua, Iran, Iraq, Vietnam, etc. did that while under constant US attack.

[@judithsochor9755]

Ajay Pasricha

[@eugenedebbs2189]

Lmao. That's a good point. But tactically, Hillary realised that she was already hated by the 'Bernie" and progressive wings of the Democratic Party, so it was only logical for her to make statements that pander to the centrists and centre-rights to win votes.

[@cupiduspacis4209]

Exactly!

[@AmilcarCabral-qg3yq]

Yes!!!!! And, especially for Cuba who the US invaded long before they agreed to accept nuclear weapons from the Soviet Union. The economic boycott is a stage of warfare.

[@nurlindafsihotang49]

Especially the lies she spouted about 1998 "peace plan"

[@davidmcccsf]

She should run for the president of Israel.

[@eugenedebbs2189]

Not sure whether even Israel would want her lol.

[@pjamesbda]

Why the continued conflict? Noam sums it up pretty well, as long as we continue to disproportionately support by us to Israel there will be continued conflict.

[@Keriks]

I could listen him forever.

[@charlesrogers2953]

Hi America - If you want to get the USA back on it's feet then get rid of AIPAC.

[@nash984954]

I haven't ever heard of an equivalent to Israelis Samson Option, by Hamas or any Palestinians, who love their land so much they remain under the worst treatment.

[@steh8831]

I know it may seem like nitpicking, but is it more accurate to call it "Zionist violence and aggression" rather than Israeli violence and aggression? There are, after all, a fair number of Israelis who are not comfortable with Netanyahu's policies and ideology.

[@Hhhhhh-sz9ud]

I like that. Kind of like we don’t refer to Nazi Germany’s actions as German actions but as Nazi actions.

[@pavilionman64]

That is partially true, but being Israeli intrinsically means being a Zionist. I always make a distinction between Jew and Israeli/Zionist as well as anti-Semite and anti-Zionist.

[@nurlindafsihotang49]

But still, they come and stayed in Israel😂

[@dianewhalen9721]

I never understood why Israel was allowed to get away with their atrocious activity put onto the Palestinians. Nice to hear this debate

[@PapaMagnum]

I love how pissed off Hillary's face looks when Bernie says anything, ever.

[@ovdtogt1]

You 'run a country' by recognizing international law. That's how you start to end disputes with your neighbours.

[@brandonmiles8174]

The irony of Clinton in one statement saying we must fight back against BDS and in the next sentence saying we must not shut down debate. How intelligent

[@selma5885]

7 year old interview, but as relevant today as always.

[@stanleycook4979]

The company you keep is a direct reflection of ones values and character and with allies like Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Rwanda Bahrain, Egypt and Israel just to name a few only shows our values and character as a country isn't any better.

[@antred11]

Can you name any country in the region that you would consider an acceptable ally?

[@adamstein4104]

+antred11 There are no good allies in the region. Our best allies are Canada, England, Australia, France, Germany, etc

[@ryanbellinson8842]

One of the most brilliant minds of our time. I'm very jealous of all those at MIT who get to have him as a lecturer.

[@kaderathebeekeeper22m3]

Me too!!

[@tomgreg2008]

Hillary is one super scary person.

[@Loftur1172]

I wish more people would look at government like Noam.

[@MK-us2ls]

Sadly I voted for this woman. Bernie Sanders is the only politician with a conscious.

[@dennyloverin3470]

Who benifited from 911?

[@Shamrockrancher]

HRC: "You have a right to defend yourself". HRC: Gimme your guns.

[@antred11]

You can defend yourself without god damned assault rifles.

[@Shamrockrancher]

antred11 You should spend A LOT OF TIME reading our Declaration of Independence and Constitution. You should also read some supporting documents like The Federalist Papers. You have absolutely no knowledge about where the 2nd amendment comes from and why its there. I won't waste another keystroke on you, bigot.

[@metisehtheist5551]

You people don't know the difference between gun regulations and banning guns. No one is trying to take your guns away and nowhere in your constitution does it say you're allowed to bear assault rifles..it says "muskets". lol

[@Shamrockrancher]

You dumb ass. Nowhere in any of our founding documents does it identify any kind of weapon (musket/assault weapon). Furthermore, if you had any idea wha you were talking about, you'd know we're not talking about assault weapons. By definition, an assault weapon is capable of fully automatic fire. Congratulations, you're a bigot and a major league dumb ass. STFU.

[@antred11]

Shamrockrancher "Nowhere in any of our founding documents does it identify any kind of weapon (musket/assault weapon). " Oh well, then I suppose you'd be alright with me installing my own private nuclear missile silo.

[@kqp1998gyy]

Thank you

[@thchen8312]

I do like this video and Chomsky. I respect him and think he is reasonably smart guy and very caring individual and knows what is going on in the world around us.

[@Zandiv]

General rule of thumb, if Hillary is against it, then doing it is the right thing to do.

[@banamaa91]

I would love to see Hillary attempt to debate Chomsky.

[@jamesrobinson9460]

We must put an end to the Israeli occupation of Palestine! Daniel 9:24-27. End apartheid, and stop the genocide!

[@chugalongway01]

Chomksy has a unique voice I can listen to all day

[@FredSlocombe]

BDS (Boycott Divestment Sanctions). I just had to get that cleared up. I forgot what it was.

[@rickrossley2920]

i definately believe Israel has the right to exist and the right to defend themselves. that said, they need to go back to pre 67' borders. even David Ben Gurion advocated for that.

[@lopasrokas231]

We should start: The Noam Chomsky Doctrine. For the survival of humanity and a much better world!

[@naimulhaq9626]

Neither the democrats or republicans has the will to see peace in ME.

[@naimulhaq9626]

***** Bernie fails to see the aggressor/occupier in the ME,like his opposition to complete audit of the FED, indicating he is easily purchased, just like everyone.

[@alltairman]

Trump and Bernie talk to you. Hillary YELLS at you.

[@adamstein4104]

I think Trump yells too. Trump and Hillary are both excessively aggressive people with a lot of pent up rage

[@MrRobster1234]

Wolf Blitzer, what a greasy, little stick-handler.

[@RaysDad]

It's been 2 years now since this Sanders/Clinton debate and Clinton still won't go away. The campaign across America to suppress free speech regarding BDS also won't go away. The USA is paralyzed.

[@infiniteinfiniteinfi]

Noam is so conservative in his proposals its almost comical; follow the law and report the facts. This just demonstrates how right wing and off the wall the whole political and economic establishment is.

[@zatoichi3134]

left wing, right wing= same bird

[@jltorres6320]

Chomsky in Bernie's Cabinet would be a force to be reckoned with.

[@adamstein4104]

I would like Chomsky as Secretary of Labor, Secretary of Education, or the Environmental Protection Agency administrator. Maybe Secretary of State but that would never be allowed in a million years

[@zarrsar6372]

Truth

[@cajantube]

Chomsky is out of line, BDS hurts everyone.I agree Leslie, Bernie is on point as usual.

[@18bites]

It's gonna be great with this honorable woman in the White House.

[@18bites]

Mercy me. I meant that piece of shit that happens to have a vagina makes me sick

[@omgsolikevalleygirl]

Too bad Chomsky's voice is so hard to listen to. What he says is some of the most important thought of or time.

[@ronagoodwell2709]

Hillary Clinton, a Democrat, is more right wing than even Donald Trump. Crazy choice we were offered in 2016. No wonder so many people refuse to vote. But I notice how Trump has fallen right into line on the Israel question. Six of one, half-dozen of the other.

[@thielees]

Trump is awful. Hillary is awful.

[@annthomson3518]

Please Noam, go on mainstream media and speak.

The truth is, like everything else, those little rockets, are a set up. Of course, they are fired by Mossad agents. Have you ever noticed that nobody ever dies? because of them? And where has the real picture gone? Israel is not Israel, It is Palestine. Given illegally to the Jews by England in 1948, even though it wasn't theirs to give. Solution? Get the fuck out of Palestine, and move, lock stock and barrel, into America. most of you are there anyway..And as Americans are you servants anyway, they will look after you, and care for you....

[@alloomis1635]

so far as i can tell, european jews invaded palestine, very quietly, under the blind eye of the british 'mandate.' in about 1925, they were strong enough to throw off the pretense of peaceful settlers, and declare their intention of taking all of palestine, "from the river to the sea." which remains their goal, one bite at a time. the locals resisted, but without european money and guns, later american money and guns, they find themselves pressed into 'reservations,' dependent on u. n. aid for survival. a crime done in the open, worse than apartheid.

[@Blkchevy98]

Not really Hillary. Surrendering wasn't an option for the locals.

[@naturalexplorer3096]

Israel has the power to maintain peace. They repeatedly show they aren't interested. The archaic eye for an eye philosophy lives on

[@jenniferholden9397]

How she can lie with such a straight face. She an actor.

[@markdarnell614]

I sure wish Bernie was 25 years younger, because he is Courageous, Forward Thinking, and ETHICAL! I didn't vote in the last election, and I still berate myself for it! - tRump is an ABSOLUTE Disaster!...but Hillary?!!!! No FUCKING WAY! She is so jaundiced, and corrosive - it's stomach-turning! Unfortunately, we'll never have a Leader like Noam Chomsky - the clearest, and sharpest mind in the US!

[@jamesrobinson9460]

There is NO LEGITIMATE BASIS for the EXISTENCE of the State of Israel: SHOULD ISRAEL EXIST? Daniel 9:24-27 says: "70 weeks (490 years, beginning in 457 B.C.), are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and seal up the vision and the prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy (Jesus, The Messiah). Know therefore and understand that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and build Jerusalem (in 457 B.C.) unto Messiah, the prince shall be 7 weeks, and threescore and 2 weeks (69 weeks, or 483 years, unto the year 27 A.D.): the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. And after 7 weeks, and threescore and 2 weeks (69 weeks, or 483 years, plus 3.5 years), shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself…And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week (7 years, from 27 A.D. through 34 A.D.), and in the mist of the week (or in mid-30 A.D.), he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and from the overspreading of abominations, he shall make it desolate…." When the apostate Jews killed the Apostle Steven, in 34 A.D., (Acts 7:57-59), the covenant with ancient Israel ended.

I don't think a 7th grade would be able hand Alan Doucheawitz his ass on stage of Isreal/Palestine time and time again. Most 7th graders in the US know absolutely nothing about Isreal/Palestine. Finally, what he is saying is basic but true and cuts through the propaganda that clouds this debate.
