If you completely ignore him talking about the 2005 agreement between Israel and Palestine and the 2006 coup against the Palestinian government supported by the US and Israel, among other things, then sure, "he actually provided no historical context."

[@kennethmarshall306]

This is very relevant to what is happening today in October 2023

[@revolutionishere]

Absolutely. It's a testament to the fact that Israel continues to edge towards full blown genocide while the powers that be animalize Palestinian folks with racial tropes and dog whistles. All while sustaining brutal blockades, sanctions, sporadic/intermittent missile strikes, and violating treaties. We also have the US on the "sidelines," funding this carnage and even sending police to Israel to train on Palestinians and innocent civilians. This is very eerie to me, looking at Ruth Wilson Gilmore's argument that the more capitalist a society is, the more they rely on prisons, police and military to achieve safety when terrorism strikes. Terrorism is inevitable in these systems that oppress and use human bodies to turn a profit. The US and Israel are identical twins in this sense, they are the global capitalist entities who are actively fighting for a fascist world order.

[@boogiejed5485]

Patrick Bateman you are correct, but one should look a little closer- the difference is that the jews posed no threat to the Germans when they were forced into ghettos, the Palestinians were sending suicide bombers into Israel , when they forced them into a ghetto. With the ridiculous amount of military power Israel have, why are the Palestinians not putting their weapons down and saying ok we've lost the fight? Because they say they'll never rest until Israel is wiped from the map. The problem is, that isn't going to happen, unless Islam and sharia law comes to force in the western liberal democracies. The warlords of the black economy of Gaza have way too much to loose to go down the road of surrender.

[@nedrobinson7490]

They are targeting civilians in Gaza; people who don’t pose any threat to them. You can’t claim Israel DOESN’T target non-combatants who pose them no threat, because they very clearly DO and ARE doing that on an ongoing basis. And even when bombs aren’t falling on Gaza, they STILL target average civilians who pose them zero threat by limiting access to food, water and medicine. A siege is a medieval tactic for a reason, but Israel still wants the world to believe it’s a pluralistic democracy worthy of inclusion in the democratic world system. No; it’s a medieval, backwards, genocidal ethno-state worthy of exclusion and shunning and disdain by any self-respecting democratic, pluralistic society

[@peterhorton9063]

@@spm_hcmc Guess who helped start Hamas........... Israel. Hamas was a creature of Isreal born in the 80's as a religious counter weight to secular Fatah. Kind of like how the US created al Qaeda by helping mujahedeen in the 80s as well. Both countries supported radical Muslim groups using the strategy of "the enemy of my enemy is my alley". Both times it ended with each having a 9/11 tragedy. There is no two state solution if your enemy can't agree internally politically. Secular Fatah was murdered and pushed out of gaza and left to govern the west bank and the other territories. There can be no two state solution until there is peace among Palestinians, which is why Israel supported Hamas. Still not onboard, consider this event from the 90s, the Israeli PM was assassinated for supporting a two state solution, by an orthodox jew who was opposed to it. Those orthodox groups are behind Bibi before and now while they continued to fund Hamas through Qatar. Bibi's policy was "were okay with mowing the lawn every few years to keep them divided" and thus never having a political two-state solution. The kibbutz communities are generally left leaning, and have not supported Bibi's far right goverment. Those kibbutz communities are not orthodox and have shrunk over the years while the orthodox communities have 7 kids on avg and are becoming a larger voting block. The kibbutz has been asking for more military support in the last few years, near gaza. What happened recently, Bibi became arrogant and complacent and moved troops to the west bank, from gaza to help with his orthodox base and support the settlers in the west bank.

He won't talk about the fact that, although a minority, they were actually living on that land in the early 1900s, before zionism ever started. But his perspective is driven by classic liberal psychology. The "oppressed" Palestinians are the victims and the "aggressor," Israel, is evil. He just won't delve into why the people in Gaza are "oppressed." Well I'm sure he has his arguments but he won't apply any responsibility for the Palestinians putting themselves in this position because from the very beginning they always chose violence and war. Even long before Hamas existed. - Liberalism, especially in 2023 is quite obsessed about equality and tolerance and immigrant rights. But for some reason the idea that Palestinians should be tolerant of the minority Jewish people who lived there is completely lost. And they have a great disdain for the European Jews who immigrated to Israel in the 1900s. Even though if a Westerner were to speak ill of immigrants in today's world they would be excoriated by the left and called a xenophobic bigot. But somehow it's OK if Palestinians and Arab countries in general are completely intolerant of other faiths. Liberal logic is all such a game revolving around who is currently highest on the "oppressed" totem pole. And right now it's them.

Go ISRAEL! .

You’re sick.

This guy was a linguist. He has no more political acumen than anyone else, and is _not_ an expert on what he's talking about. You might as well just be listening to a drunk at a bar.

[@Sirianta]

Or to you.

[@250Pants]

he’s an encyclopedia

[@jhegre]

I guess one of America's foremost intellectuals can handle being equated to a drunk at a bar by some random biased zionist on KZbin. But the fact that this is your best arguement says quite a lot about just how weak your case is.

[@ALM-yy3cf]

Jesus was a carpenter. Do you even know what "an acumen" means?

[@vladvlog9677]

Chomsky are you a Jew or an American first? I hope one day you don’t have to choose with talk like this.

[@davidrees7059]

He is a human first. The rest is a construct.

[@vladvlog9677]

@@davidrees7059Yes. Europe was filled with many intellectuals pre-and post World 2, Leibniz, Spinoza, Freud, Jung, Marx, Einstein, Bohr, Feynman, , Maslow, Popper…the list is endless - and yet when it came to tribal positions and assertion of power - they were vulnerable and attacked, forcing many into exile, to those who would have them. Look at now. Is the US really safe for Jews? Human nature is too fickle and at the end they were judged by their race, regardless of the previous generations, not their Nationality. History beats Chomsky.

Did you even watch the video?

You mean aged like fine wine?

[@g1bC]

Israel likes it that Hamas attacks Israel and Palestinians in Gaza so it has excuse to cause “terror” in Gaza? Chomsky mate, you’re a linguist, not an indifferent observer of this highly complex issue. Get off the social media commentary soap box.

[@harikrishnanr1971]

Exactly.

[@viewfindervlog]

Where is your backed evidence counterclaiming his claims then?

[@BlindOWLL]

Yeah, it seems about right to anyone with half a brain cell.

[@MACTEP_CHOB]

Maybe that guy learned at least in 5 years that h@mas was funded by izzrael @@viewfindervlog

[@rt-uh6mt]

@@viewfindervlog It's all hyperbole. The fact is that Israel (and the US) tried to sow the seeds of dissent and revolution in Gaza after Hamas came to power back in 2006. Something Chomsky likes to discuss, because he can then say how evil they are for interfering in another people free and fair elections. Yadda yadda. Anyway, the fact is that Israel absolutely did not want Hamas to come to power. For obvious reasons. The idea they want Hamas to provoke attacks is absolutely insane. Israel never started any of the wars with the Palestinians and were always willing to recognize a Palestinian state from their very inception. But the other side was not equally willing to do the same .

The truth scares you, that's why you hide behind bs

1 Israeli death is far more important than all of these terrorists Israel is 100 in the right, Good than they can move back toJordan

[@rafeljesus]

MagicKirin1 What a disgusting human being you must be. And very ignorant also.

[@rafeljesus]

MagicKirin1 You call terrorists the people defending their land, homes and culture? You must be very ignorant if you are not aware of what is going on there, as I said. That, or you are a filthy zionist.

[@StJiub-lc4eb]

Typical response from Israeli apologists. Any criticism of the Israeli government is antisemitism. If you object to the killings, it means you want Israel to be exterminated. Meanwhile you'll cheer on the killing of civilians and claim moral superiority. You are blind with hate.

[@StJiub-lc4eb]

I criticize Russia for the Krim situation, as well as foreign intervention in Syria. What about Syria are you referring to though? Israel has displaced scores of Palestinians, taking their homes and their lands. Expecting anything else but violence in response is delusion, no matter what groups of people are involved. From my perspective, historically, Israel provokes attacks, then claim victim-hood. All the while expanding its territory, even today Netanyahu endorses illegal settlements. The people in Gaza are prisoners in their own homes, denied supplies to maintain the city. Of course there will be violence. They have no way to resist Israel, what do you expect desperate people to do? Israel has military supremacy, US support and wealth. They have all the power, but they continue to provoke. And they continue to strike excessively, often maiming or killing civilians. I don't think there was any moral ground to establish Israel, taking the land from one group and giving it to the other. I see it as a sort of colonial state. That doesn't mean I hate Jews. I argue against holocaust deniers and nazi conspiracy theorists more than I do against Israelis

[@rafeljesus]

MagicKirin1 Your only contribution to the world is instability, murder and fascism. What a sad joke you are!
