Noam Chomsky - The Israel/Palestine Conflict I

[@lucasjankowski7117]

Almost every journalist who is trying to get into any polemics with Chomsky is compromising himself badly. Chomsky's nearly encyclopedic knowledge about modern history, politics and international relations, and the amount of facts that he is always ready to display are just astounding.

[@Vekikev1]

He support serbian genocide of bosniaks and serbian aggression and greater serbian ideology. It's time for you people to realize that he is biased and not right in the head. Also, most history profesors would own him.

[@StrayedIdea]

[@johnhurtado440]

Not really. He has nothing else to do. He gets paid to do the encyclopedia learning. Fortunate he is to be in that position, but if he was an honest man, he should be in hamas trying to persuade the jews and the hamas to have a sit down of peace if he so articulate and encyclopedia learned.

[@lucasjankowski7117]

@@johnhurtado440 As far as I know, as an academic he got paid in a field related to the theory of language not politics. He educated himself about history and politics since his teenage years, simply because he was interested in it, without thinking then about getting any money for this. Besides: what's wrong with getting paid for sharing the vast knowledge you have on a given subject? Regarding activism: he is now over 90 years old, his voice is very frail - he is simply unable to do any serious social activism, especially in a places so far away from US.

[@johnhurtado440]

@@lucasjankowski7117 it is like being fed by someone, and later attacked the person who fed him. He is old now, but when he was young he should have used his verbal prowess to modified the world.he did not. He talked to friendly crowds, do that is not the same as going to gaza and delight them with his anti USA, even though he lives off the usa. He is protected,fed,and honored in the usa, yet he bashes what he knows is the essence of this nation

[@CristinaDavalos1127]

Love that he didn't let the interviewer get away with the standard narrative 👏

[@rt-uh6mt]

Yes, Chomsky, like usual, pushes the narrative that Western powers are evil and they're the reason there is no peace over there. This interview is a joke. This idea that there was an "international consensus" that the USA blocked and the media suppressed is nonsense. And even if there were, Israel is under no obligation to abide by that, just because Chomsky claims most Americans supported it, which is also a joke. According to international law, the Israelis are under no obligation to give the Palestinians anything. But the fact is that they have offered them land on several occasions. This after they, the Palestinians rejected the initial UN offer that would have given them more land than the Israelis. It is the Palestinians who chose war every time.

[@Anothershrubbery1]

Not much detail, which shows me you really don’t know what you’re talking about. I mean, other than the Golan Heights, how much bigger is Israel since its inception? Just how colonial are they? All new territories were secured for their security as a result of wars in which THEY were attacked. I’ve said the settlements are totally illegal, but other than that, their country is the size of Rhode Island. And their responses after attacks are sometimes heavy handed and erratic, particularly in dense, tiny Gaza, but their goal is neither genocide, nor apartheid. Their goal is to achieve peace and enough trust to ensure their existential security to pave the way for dual statehood. Is that Hamas’s goal?? So, are you just gonna tell me I’m propagandizing? Or do you have facts to prove otherwise? What’s your point?

He synthesizes, documents using a range of credible sources, a very credible argument that America is embarking on a reckless and dangerous imperial mission. You know the best books make us feel uncomfortable about the things we disagree with.

He doesn’t at all mention the fact that Israel is entirely surrounded by Arabs who generally consider Jews as people and religion as infidels - which is ultimately a suicidal hatred of Jews. He fails to mention that there is a difference between what would happen of Palestinians had control over Jews vs Jews over Palestinians. The fact is true that if Jews were subordinated they would ultimately be murdered or would live under slavery (actual subjugation). None of this absolves all war crimes but acting like Israel is this evil monster is fucking ridiculous. So much bullshit comes out of this intelligent man it’s incredible.

[@LogicSpeaks]

Let me just add a little more of what recently happened - a gang of Hamas thugs killed more than 1200 civilians as direct targets (including children toddlers and babies were fucking beheaded). I dare you to find any directly coordinated act of anti human violence that is ordered and directed at Palestinians as a people. So far nothing comes close. Most of the time when there are casualties it’s because amas purposely choose schools and hospitals to fire their rockets from. This causes more deaths of civilians. They use human shields. If you think israelies should then be more careful (maybe, depends what you mean) I think you’re generally full of shit. If Palestinians had a nuclear weapon they would have used it.

RoPl Hamas relies on individuals across the middle East to provide them with funding. Whether these individuals are in Qatar, Iran, West Bank, Etc. However, it is false to even assume that the the Palestinian authority (or even most Arab countries) fund Hamas mainly for one reason: Hamas has a whole different ideology within the political spectrum of the Middle East. The Baathist Arab states (mainly secular Social nationalists) oppose the Islamist forces (Whether they be Hamas, and Hezbollah). The gulf states wouldn't even think of funding Hamas. Saudi Arabia detained many people who they accused of funding and supporting Hamas. The Saudi Arabian Government and much of their gulf companions open up to Israel by the day while their dissent of Hamas also rises. It isn't right to group the whole middle East under one category of a political domain wen the truth is that they are heavily divided, sadly. While Israel grows as a military occupation with funding and support from some of the most economically powerful and military heavy states from the west, Arab states remain divided and even some already succumbed to the US and their agenda in the middle East.

Even though this is something I would want to believe for the sake of feeling like my information is the right information, I simply don't know. There always is a 50/50 chance a person is simply fabricating the story (ask yourself, if this man made this up, how would you know?). Even then there is a chance they make mistakes in their judgement, they may be truthfull, however their knowledge may be faulty. Judging such a difficult subject like this is incredibly hard. Please take care on judging people and be critical in reading comments like mine. Don't trust my word, read up and make sure I am wrong. I know I am copy-pasting this, typing out such a long comment again and again would be a big hassle, I just want people to question. If I am wrong, I'd love to hear why. Don't hesitate to enlighten me :D.
