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.
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.
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.
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.
"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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
***** 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
it's like you offer the Palestinians like a fraction of their former lands and not even the most fertile and expect them to take it after u sent settlers to take the original land then u say it's the Palestinian people's fault they don't have a state ? she sounds like netanyahu himself is in her earpiece telling her exactly what to say which he probably is .
ooooo, look at that conviction, how passionate! "israel doesn't invite..." HAHAHA!... all the palestenian prisoners and farmers whose olive groves are plucked out for IN-YOUR-FKN-FACE settlements beg to differ.
2 years later - Noam Chomsky was right! .Love his sarcasm re Hillary :) truth! Hillary would not have been any better than Trump just more poised in public. In his book, Bernie said he was pulled aside by DNC & told to temper his temper with her - a Jew not on the side of Israel? Why would he? this is not the religious issue!
If she made up another story would anyone care? Would two stories of manufactured valor be the tipping point where just one is ignored by most? I'm waiting to read the headline "Hillary Stomps Baby Penguin" and an op ed about how the little fella had it coming, poll numbers remain unchanged.
What I don't understand is this and maybe someone smart out there can help me. Why does Israel keep doing this? And I don't want to hear some type of conspiracy theory. There must be a sensible reason why they keep doing this... ? If they just lived with them, everything would even out in the end... but why is Israel so aggressive? Is there some military advantage to the Gaza strip?
His ideal of campus debate sounds like he's giving on up to campuses that are already controlled by groups that have interests in the military of the the USA. Just saying it sounds like he's giving up.
This is a prime example of the problem with religion. More people have been slaughtered throughout the ages over the differences of beliefs. Don't you think It's time this nonsense ends?!
We Must Have Comprehensive Discussions About the Origin, Roles, and Influence of the State of Israel in Economics, Media, Politics, Education, and Other Fields.
Noam, please. Address the world in action or protests to stop trump. U of all people would know the best ideas to motivate people to wake up. I hope u r able to do so. The chaos will be terrible otherwise
