Be aware...it is _not_ a conflict. That description became invalid after 1948... As the status of "conflict" requires both parties being on equal ground... And it's definitaly not a conflict of interest, that's something (for example) you could say about American and Russian interests in the region, _not_ about the native ppl and goverment against the soverign colonial power. It is by definition...an *occupation* of Palestine and the Palestinians. It's not just summed up with "justice and peace"...it's about giving back the natives (Palestinians) what's rightfuly theirs.

[@BigManUndead]

A lot you here don't understand what he is saying. When he asks why these companies don't shut down the Israel lobby he is asking a rhetorical question. The "answer" is that they don't because it is a reciprocal relationship between what is called by International Relations theorists the "national interests" (in reality only the interests of the bourgeoise, specifically arms manufacturers and the surveillance state in the U.S.) of Israel and the U.S. When he questions if "small ethnic lobby can control U.S. decision making" he is not denying America's overwhelmingly pro-Israel stance, but giving the true origin of it. The reality is that the American military-industrial complex and intelligence community is getting a great deal from the relationship with Israel, and make no mistake these are the people who's opinions actually matter in terms of U.S. foreign policy decision making.

i didn't get so many comments here, talking about him being pro Zionism. what i understood was, he is trying to say that the idea of an israeli lobby controlling the U.S is just very convenient when it comes to justifying the U.S support of israel, he didn't say they don't exist at all, he recognizes that they have influence but not a great deal of influence that it can't be dealt with if the other powerful ones wanted to seriously address the issue, but they don't, as it is beneficial to them as well. and look at his other videos, i don't often see people criticizing isreal and U.S policies as directly as he does.

[@michealcherrington6531]

your argument that the isreal lobby does not have a great deal of influence because the institutions with power only do what the lobby wants because it benefits the institutions is bizarre. That is exactly the point of a lobby, and exactly how its effectiveness is judged. Lobbies are a leveraging of power. Either that is some shitty propagandizing or you got some lucidity issues.

[@rashid8646]

Chomsky's argument is circular nonsense - he says that the Jewish lobby is somehow holding the U S government from pursuing its interests. Thats not what Mearsheimer and Walt claim. They claim that the role of the Zionist lobby - which isn't a Jewish lobby by the way - is to try and make Israeli interest synonymous with American interests. This is made easier by the monetary relationship, but it is absurd to argue that Israel is valuable because of its technology of military testing. The USA has the biggest and most advanced military on earth and has been engaged in more substantive military engagements in the region than Israel. Its also plain stupid to argue that the prospect for invensment in Israel is somehow more important to the USA than the oil economies of the Gulf or stability in the region, or ending the terror problem which is in large part driven by the relationship with Israel.

[@festus569]

At least, I think that Noam Chomsky is wrong about the Jewish lobby's influence in USA. If it's a small ethnic lobby that doesn't mean that it's a weak one. Ken O'Keefe proved very well how influencial the Jewish Lobbies are in American Parliament (the Congress and the House of Representatives). Also Norman Finkelstein proved that when he wrote and talked about the Holocaust Industry and about so called the new anti-Semitism.

If they are workers states, they will preserve socialism, even if that requires atrocities (and indeed, these atrocities are justified). If they are bourgeois states, they will preserve capitalism, even if that requires abandoning democracy and liberalism in favor of fascism. If they are fuedal monarchies, they will preserve the lords and and such, regardless of threats to the king, the peasants, primitive bourgeoisie, etc.

Chomsky prefers to blame the power of the military industrial complex, e.g. Boeing, G.E., for US aggression in the Middle East and he dismisses the Israel lobby as insignificant in its power to shape US Middle East policy. While the power of the military industrial complex is obviously very great, that does not explain the "special relationship" the US has with Israel. In fact, Chomsky acknowledges that the US intelligence agencies share raw data with the Israeli intelligence agencies, and that this is unique. Only Israel enjoys this special access to US intelligence, no other country. Why does Israel alone enjoy privileged access to US intelligence? Obviously not because of the power of the American arms industry. No, it's because of the power that Israel has over the US government including its intelligence agencies. Is it just a coincidence that nearly all the neocons who run US foreign policy in the Middle East are Zionists, many are even Israeli nationals? Chomsky refuses to see what is as plain as day: that the Israel Lobby exercises tremendous power over US government.

Remembrer that PLO's struggle was considered by Mandela as a sister struggle to his own, back in the 80s and early 90s.

[@ricardokalinka37]

I've never noticed him criticizing the murder of ANY Jews. He's pretty prolific, and I have a life to lead outside following morons of high IQ. I suppose he may have noticed his family's problems with NAZI's. Perhaps he blamed his family for those killings, who knows? I'd have to say that my biggest criticism of Chomsky is his failure to acknowledge that human nature is not the pacific, philanthropic underpinning that he wishes it to be. Yep, he's really right on many of the abuses rampant throughout the world. What he can't wrap his intellect around is that everything is relative. When the US does something awful - and I'm the first to admit mortification at our massive failure to live up to modern idealistic values - sometimes we approach a particular problem with less arrogance and abuse than other nations tackling the same issue. That merits consideration, but Chomsky is incapable of such comparativfe analysis, and I condsider that a huge perceptual, contextual flaw. If antisemitism makes this a religious conflict, then it is. I'd have to say that this is a multi-faceted conflict, control of land being part of that. But culture and religion morph in many areas, the Middle East included. So even the self-described "secular" Arab populations are religious in the sense that their oppression and murder of women and gays, their physical domination including beheading and execution of members of other faith streams than their Mohammedan origins, etc. all contribute to a fundamentally religious conflict. Of course you couldn't possibly conceive of the notion that there are numerous highly-visible and respected figures like Mandela who are wrong on this issue. Somehow people have great obstacles to examining underlying facts and criticizing famous people who have made egregious assumptions from which they derive horrid conclusions. Mandela, Chomsky - whom I greatly admire not only for his linguistic coups, but also for his direct indictment of so many flawed institutions - and other similar people not only completely miss the conclusions in this morass of conflicts in the Middle East. They seem to have also failed, in the case of Israel, to notice that the long-attacking Arabs state very clearly in many publications and speeches in their native tongue, and sometimes even in Western languages, that their first goal is to annihilate the Jews, then to move on to other infidels. Mohammed's dicta are what drives this conflict (and of course the Torah, too, and historical assignments of territory, and other drivers from the past), notwithstanding a lot of famous people's misunderstanding. Don't forget that there are also a lot of famous people who get this right, completely disagreeing with Chomsky et. al. on this issue even when they agree with much else he has to say about human rights and horrid conflict. So do we vote about which famous people are correct? Or shouldn't we, as rational human beings - purportedly - examine the history and the underlying factors driving this conflict, as with any, and look to the balance of correct interpretation? If my last comment is accurate, and I believe it to be so, then on the Israel issue, Chomsky is totally wrong. He cannot conceive of imperfection. That is a serious flaw in any analysis of human culture. We are a flawed species. We require comparative evaluation, with analysis that is relative even if we desire absolute perfection. With Israel his view is especially occluded, totally one-sided. He ignores or distorts the actual legal and operational history of the origins of Israel and ignores the vile and largely unjustified (yes, not entirely, just mostly) Mohammedan provocations to fabricate a narrative for the ongoing murder of Jews. He doesn't protest such acts, no matter where nor when, because his schema adopts the Arab viewpoint that first we kill all the Jews, then we'll go after everyone else. (To inarticulately plagiarize Niemoller). So he's wrong. You're wrong. Everyone's wrong but me. Isn't that the normal human approach to anything? Chomsky just gets away with more because he's hugely popular and prolific. Doesn't make him always correct. Why do you suppose there has never been a period in human history where the entire world has been at peace? Why do suppose there has never been a marriage that hasn't had conflict? People are animals, but without the genetic disposition to behave predictably. We are Chimps, not Bonobos.

"What he can't wrap his intellect around is that everything is relative" "With Israel his view is especially occluded, totally one-sided" "Chomsky is totally wrong. He cannot conceive of imperfection" You completely miss the point, with Chomsky. It is unfortunate, given that he repeatedly explained his position, in print or on video. Let me try to summarize. Chomsky doesn't try to be balanced and denounce crimes on an equal footing because "you should concentrate on crimes committed by your side, since you can do something about it". As he explained ad nauseam during he career as a political activist, nobody praised Russian figures who denounced crimes committed by the West; but Russian figures who denounced crimes committed by USSR are revered. Thus, you cannot expect a political opponent to waste time on crimes committed by the enemy because it is useless : they are already the focus of official propaganda, by the way. Details about rockets launched from Gaza, or Palestinians attacking soldier with knives are sufficiently well known : no need of Chomsky's denunciation. Indeed, some crimes already benefit from a very exhaustive coverage by literature or news (Nazi against Jews, Red Khmer, Palestinians against Israelis, Russian against Chechens, Syrian regime against civilians, etc.) and thus don't need further coverage. There is no added value with additional coverage by an intellectual figure, whatever famous he is. That's why he was (and still is) active about crimes less publicized (or totally occulted) : Timor, Kurdistan, Guatemala, Nicaragua, etc. "Of course you couldn't possibly conceive of the notion that there are numerous highly-visible and respected figures like Mandela who are wrong on this issue" Sure I can. You distort my words. I did not quote Mandela as an authority, but to highlight the fact that PLO was (and is still) a secular political movement, with no ties to religious movements, and that was recognized by other movements as such. Mandela could have been wrong and could have been deceived, but I see no reason to believe that PLO was secretly a religious extremists movement. On the contrary, I have plenty of evidence that the muslim brotherhood (and other extremist sects) have been actively supported by Western powers during the 70s and 80s. My country, France, included. "Why do you suppose there has never been a period in human history where the entire world has been at peace?" Certainly not. And I can't remember Chomsky ever supposing that either. Quite the contrary : you'll find easily interviews and texts where he makes plain that we are living in the most civilized period of history ("far more civilized than during Vietnam war" as he says) I perfectly admit that "pax americana" is real : never in history so few people died from wars, civil or international. But that fact shouldn't hinder denouncing crimes when they are committed, with a greater focus on crimes committed "with your taxpayer money", to sing a conservative antiphon.

This doesn't sound very convincing. To calll Ambac and Co "small" well then a Megadolon is small too. Another thing: When in 9/11 Airplanes crashed in WTC that i would call a HUGE disadvantage of strong ties to israel. The example with Lockheed Martin that they could put the israel lobby out of business, i really don't grasp. Why would Lockheed martin want to do that?? All in all not so convincing

He's Jewish right?? Ya this makes sense

[@freenational]

That would be stereotyping Jews. Not all Jews are zionists but unfortunately from this clip, it would appear that Noam is pro-zionist.

[@freenational]

Thanks SkillUp, perhaps this clip is taken out of context. Noam is known to be critical of Israel's policies towards Palestine. He even spoke on that issue in the United Nations shortly after the Gaza bombing in 2014.

[@SkillUpMobileGaming]

+Free Citizen After doing a few seconds' searching, I'm sure you're right. Hmmm...

[@schnipsikabel]

oh come on guys, Noam is known as one of the hardest critics of Israel! And it also becomes clear in this clip! He just doesn't believe in an oversimplifying and racist conspiracy theory.

[@freenational]

Indeed. This clip is taken out of context. If I didn't know any better, I would say he is mocking the Israel lobby. A wicked attempt at discrediting Chomsky.

[@patrickmwinn]

1:25 Is he saying here that the idea of the israel lobby dictating US policy is absurd? I think he is, and if so he is essentially calling Ilhan Omar a legit anti semitie. I've been hoping to hear Noam weigh in on Omar.

[@dnsfsn]

He's saying that the US supports Israel because of American interests in the middle east, not because of the Israeli lobby. He would disagree with Ilhan Omar about their influence, but agrees with her criticism of the Israeli government and the American support of it. I am fairly certain that he doesn't think Omar is an anti-semite because he has repeatedly railed against the corporate media targeting critics of Israel as anti-semites to silence their criticism, which is exactly what is happening with Omar.

[@joecasey7415]

[@thotmorrison2649]

People seem to think chomsky was dismissing the "Jewish Lobby" as non-existent or insignificant. Based on other lectures I've heard/read from him, I don't think that was his message at all. He wasn't saying that Israel has *no* influence over the US government, but rather that it is only their mutually beneficial relationship with corporate America that gives them that influence. The US could conceivably fulfil its national security goals without appeasing every whim of the Israeli government, but the fact that their lobby has created such a hand-in-glove arrangement with corporate America means that appeasing Israeli lobbyists is the path of least resistance 9 times out of 10. And when it comes to that 1 in 10 times when supporting Israel might seem unpopular (during a campaign against civilians in Gaza for example), there are propagandists out there in corporate media (and more contemporary pariahs like Ben Shapiro) who can smooth over public opinion* and the partnership can get its own way anyhow. *or at least whip up so much partisan fury and infighting that nobody ends up holding the gov't to account

More currently, Israel expects monetary reparations from Poland for Holocaust.

No one wants to silence him. He serves the interests of the post French revolution and post WWI & WWII narrative. He is controlled opposition. If he was truly a threat to anyone, he would be in prison already. People who have anything of actual value to say would never be found in the mainstream as the jew Chomsky is.
