Noam Chomsky Discusses Israel with Professor John Haas

Noam Chomsky talks with Professor John Haas about UN Security Council Resolution 242 regarding Israel's annexation and occupation of Palestine. Accuses Israel of starving, harassing and murdering Palestinians while US supports Israel with policy decisions. War crime probes by the International Court of Justice and more.
Chomsky explains how US vetoes of resolutions that oppose their policy, as well as US military aid to Israel, have prevented a diplomatic solution.
Chomsky also critiques Israel's narrative of being a defensive and reactive force, and suggests ways to protest US policy towards Israel, such as an anti-apartheid struggle and the possibility of an international criminal court war crimes probe into the 2014 assault on Gaza.

It cannot be a state and act like a terrorist militia. Because the terrorist militia does not have an entity like the state and it can be held accountable.

1967 war: Six days that changed the Middle East Fifty years ago, war broke out between Israel and its neighbours. The conflict lasted just six days but its effect would last to the present day. By 1967, Egypt was bogged down in a war in Yemen that had become its own Vietnam. It had not fought well. But Nasser could not replace Amer with a better soldier. The Syrian army was equally politicised, and like Egypt was a client of the Soviet Union. A series of generals were rotated into power by a series of coups d'état. Arabs talked a lot about unity, socialism and nationalism, but in reality they were deeply disunited. The Syrian and Egyptian leaderships fretted about plots allegedly instigated by the monarchies in Jordan and Saudi Arabia. Kings worried that the military populists who led Syria and Egypt would incite revolution. After the 1948 war, Jordan and Israel came close, but not close enough, to making peace. Secret talks continued into Hussein's reign. He was aware of Jordan's weaknesses - it was mainly desert and had a large and restive population of Palestinian refugees.Syrian syndrome War in 1967 came as a result of years of increasing tension and vicious border skirmishes between Arabs and Israelis. The border between Egypt and Israel was relatively quiet. The biggest flashpoint was Israel's northern border with Syria, where they fought over disputed territory and Syria's attempts to divert the River Jordan away from Israel's national water grid.The Americans responded 42 minutes after the announcement from Cairo, dangling the prospect of a visit by the US Vice-President Hubert Humphrey if the crisis was averted. President Lyndon Johnson was angry. The UN Secretary General U Thant was in the air, flying to Cairo on a peace mission when Nasser made his new threat. Nasser repeated the promise he had already made to the Americans and the Soviets, that Egypt would not fire the first shot.But U Thant concluded gloomily that unless a way could be found around the blockade of Eilat, war was certain. Pressure to strike i"I said… 'I'm going to recommend a war'. "McNamara asked only two questions. 'How long?' I said it would take a week. 'How many casualties?' I said less than the war of independence, which was 6,000. McNamara said 'I read you loud and clear'." The Americans had given a clear signal. They had been told that Israel would be going to war and had made no attempt to stop it happening. Amit travelled back to Israel with the Washington ambassador, Abe Harman, on an aircraft full of gas masks. They arrived in Tel Aviv on the evening of Saturday 3 June. A car took them straight to Eshkol's apartment, where he was waiting with his key ministers. Amit wanted an immediate war. Harman wanted to wait another week or so. Daan disagreed: "If we wait for seven to nine days, there will be thousands dead. It's not logical to wait. Let's strike first and then look after the political side." Everyone who was there had no doubt that the decision had been taken. Israel was going to war. The cabinet ratified it the next morning. In Egypt, Nasser predicted Israel would attack on 4 or 5 June. He based his observation on the progress of an Iraqi armoured division, which was heading towards the Jordan Valley and Israel. He knew Israel would not tolerate such a change in the balance of forces. Surprise attack By 07:40 on 5 June, Ezer Weizman could hardly stand the suspense in the Air Force command centre in the ministry of defence in Tel Aviv. raeli war plan depended on a surprise attack, called Operation Focus, which would destroy the Arab air forces on the ground, starting with Egypt. They had trained for it for years and the first wave of attacks was about to go in. Media caption, By 20:17 it was reporting that 86 Israeli aircraft had been destroyed and that Egyptian tanks had broken into Israel. At the headquarters of the Sinai front, General Mohamed Abdel Ghani Gamasy listened "with growing horror" to what he knew was a pack of nonsense. Years later I asked Ahmed Said why he had told outright lies on air. In his crumbling, once-grand apartment overlooking the Nile, he defended himself. Egyptian warplanes lie destroyed on the tarmac after an Israeli Air Force pre-emptive strike June 5, 1967 against Egyptian airfields at the start of the Six-Day War.Image source, Empics Image caption, 5 June: Egyptian warplanes destroyed on the tarmac "You're asking people to fight, not dance… we believed the broadcasts were our most powerful weapon… many of our listeners were illiterate, so radio was the most important way to reach them." He stayed in the job until his death in 1970. Field Marshal Amir died in mysterious circumstances. His family was convinced he was poisoned. King Hussein of Jordan lost East Jerusalem but kept his throne. He continued his secret dialogue with Israel and made peace in 1994. But the mood in Israel blew away any suggestion of caution as decisively as the Israeli army had dealt with the Arabs. In just under a week of war the Israeli public went from despair to the joy of deliverance. Religious Jews believed that the victory was a miracle that had been given to them by God. Secular Israelis felt the electricity of the moment. Hanan Porat, a paratrooper who went on to become a leader of the settlement movement, never forgot the sight of his secular comrades weeping at the Western Wall, a remnant from the time of the second Jewish Temple, in East Jerusalem, a few minutes after they captured it. faced was that Palestinians believed it was their land, and their duty to protect the holy places they venerated. Map of Jerusalem before and after 1967 President Johnson's Middle East adviser Bob Anderson warned a month after the war that Jerusalem had a special significance for Arabs. "The Old City of Jerusalem is capable of stirring mobs in the streets to the point where the fate of our most moderate friends in the Middle East will be in jeopardy and the basis laid for a later holy war." Some Israelis thought they might be able to trade some of the captured territory for peace, though not East Jerusalem which was enlarged with the addition of a band of territory from the West Bank and then annexed. At a summit in Khartoum at the end of August, Arab states were in no mood to go cap in the hand to the country that had humiliated them, again. Arab leaders said there would be no negotiations, no recognition and no peace with Israel. Paradoxically, defeat in 1967 helped kick start the Palestinian national movement. Before then the Palestine Liberation Organisation had been a puppet of Nasser, a way of containing the Palestinians rather than helping their fight for independence.

Which is well researched and shows a bitter truth which our grandchildren have to deal with I just don’t understand a well informed person such as Chomsky does ignore a lot of other facts and his arguments are one sided and biased If the west did not help to overthrow the shah of Iran in 1979. None of these atrocities would have happened and Middle East would enjoy a prosperous and relative peace but it was question of cheap oil and gas and short term benefits for the large international corporations which they dictate policies to the politicians and as a result we have a Europe which every now and then there is an assault on free speech and the politicians are appeasing the Moslems and are afraid of them I can see a dark future for Europe perhaps a civil war and you might like my views but it the truth and coming from an ex Moslem with a good knowledge of the area both in the Middle East and Europe
