Noam Chomsky Discusses Israel with Professor John Haas 

The conscience of the world. Long live Noam!

man this guy is so spot on. legend thinker. special human.

I'm guessing Chomsky has never been awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

This man is! ❤

I am a disabled veteran. When I see a young man taking a knee during the national anthem, It makes me proud. Some young Americans could never imagine segregation, that's a good thing.

I want to thank Professor Noam Chomsky to have the courage to say what is and to push us to see what is.

You take their land, then move in and dare them to do anything about it.

Propaganda works so well, I thought this was such a complexed issue that it was beyond my comprehension. It seems pretty clear to me that this story is taught in a way that we don’t want to question anything. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing”

One of the few people who speaks the truth to Israel (and the US) oppression of the Palestinians and NOT be accused of being anti-semitic. I refused to be subject that gaslighting any longer!!!

Thank you all for the comments. Much appreciated. The interview took place in March 2018.

I've started collecting his written work. Haven't yet had a chance to read it all, but I feel like it's important for me to do it. Try to give myself some balance and understanding to my education so far. What a great mind he has and much knowledge to impart. A real light in the dark.

Most disturbing is that media does not report this madness.

Another great interview professor I thank you for sharing this conversation

Always the voice of reason.

Y Thanks, for a great interview

Professor Chomsky says it the way it is. He sees through the smoke which the frenemies produce, and lays it on the table.

I'll wait for Noam Chomsky 4K.

Outstanding!!

Abolish veto privileges in the UN and see half of global conflicts disappear in no time.

a candid wise man

2:50 I get the impression that if I were President and didn't do the usual American veto of the UN Security Council resolution on Israel I would somehow get shot in the head.

I would love to know what books he has in his library. If I ever knew I'd probably go bankrupt buying all of them, but oh man, what a treat.

Thank you!

Tesekkurler 🇹🇷🌷

Noam is my intellectual father. I got more out of one book of his than in all my college education.

thank you

Important context.

An honorable man... a great man... an honest man... an educated man... a man of good character...

🙏🏼🙏🏾🙏

I wish everyone would watch dis and would love to see him on 60 minutes for American would know what is really going on over there and why these people can't get along

And a year later it only got an order of magnitude worse...

One person getting hurt over this is too much. They need to work out a peace deal. It is 2023. Almost 2024. Ask Bard how to fix it and the leaders need to do what Bard says.

How can you be zionist and pro israel when Nelson Mandela, Malcolm X and even Albert Einstein were vocally against “israel”…😅

The wisdom of this man....

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Love him ❤

A living legend!!

Anyone know the name of the Norman Finkelstein book Nome mentions

❤🇸🇩❤

At 23mins, does anyone which norman Finkelstein book in particular they are taking about?

The Palestinians are being unmercifully massacred. They have nowhere to run. November 7, 2023

where is professor chomsky nowadays , wish him health and would love to hear his views.

Doesn’t matter how smart you are, there’s somebody out there just as smart as you who will completely disagree with every word you say. Funny how that works. Pick your truth I guess.

He references 2020 like it’s in the future. When was this recorded?

👍👍✅✅

Reading this end of November 2023, highly instructive. I need to learn review and understand the history of what really happened . Recall that the young Chomsky entertained the idea of joining a communal kibutz and later required police protection to speak truth about what was happening at MIT. Education, direct action to change US Foreign Policy. Please read Jeffrey Sachs address to the UN Security Council on Nov 22 calling for the 5 permanent members of the security Council to stop all four raging wars! Come to agreement! Cease all 4'wars.

Good vid. When was it filmed - Chomsky looks younger and healthier

They never mention which of Norman Finklesteins books they’re talking about

16:00 the fake talking point about the 2005 "withdrawal" I've seen online so much this last 2 weeks.

how do you explain the exponential growth of population in Gaza if they were kept on a diet and posioned?

'The Setback' or حرب 1967, Harb 1967, 'War of 1967'), also known as the June War, the 1967 Arab-Israeli War or the Third Arab-Israeli War, was an armed conflict fought from 5 to 10 June 1967 between Israel and a coalition of Arab states primarily comprising Jordan, Syria and Egypt (then known as United Arab Republic ). 1967 war: Six days that changed the Middle East - BBC News It came to a head with a full-scale air and artillery battle between Israel and Syria on 7 April, 1967. Israel routed the Syrians. The next morning young Palestinians in Jerusalem, according...

What happens when you mix duplicity with diplomacy.

All you’ve got to do is believe their book and their magic guy in the sky.

What’s the actual date this was filmed?

5:00

Grandpa, would you please tell me a story... lol

He takes kind of an unfair dig at Margaret Mead here but this is great

Noam Chomsky is Jewish is he not? i think yes.. i love the truth... objective reality is the best reality to live from...

Nothing but respect for this guy.

29:30

Chomsky is a fortuneteller. Oh, that peace trigge Hamas. Oh, poor realistic Hamas!

Not many of us know the biblical history of Israel of who lived where or who lived with who on this land so much fought over are there a list of bullet points.Interested in the era of the Canaanites.Pretty much need that is as I may need some correcting with my present views.

16:00 staged as national trauma

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.

Psycho Technique.... Cheap

takes belief in god for otherwise good people to commit evil acts

HOW IS IT that Gaza has plenty of missiles but not food and basic supplies? Blame HAM ASS….

‘By 2020, Gaza may be uninhabitable.’ Is this the quality of Professor Chomsky’s predictions?

Listen to Thomas Sowell talk about intellectuals talking to topics outside of their field of expertise

I use to follow Chomsky for a long time and his views for me was absolute until a few years ago that he started supporting islamic regime in Iran and for those of you who don’t know about Iranian politics I say this categorically that this regime is evil and supporter and financier of majority of terrorists ground in particular Middle East It has been proven to me the Chomsky belongs to to what we call liberal left and majority if not all are supporters of Palestine and are anti Israeli I do not support either side but to me as an Iranian Israel is the first line of defence against Islamic terrorist and if Israel is not there the whole west will be overridden by Islamic invasion and hence terrorism For those who want to know more I recommend a book called The death of Europe. 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

How does he know there was going to be a military coup? What gives him the right to say the Humas charter is meaningless? What gives him the right to speak of behalf of Mexico when talking about their governments opinion on USA right to exist. Does anyone ever challenge this guy

Are Noam's views even relevant these days?

Hamas are the good guys? This really didn't age well...

No one came to his Bar Mitzvah, and Chomsky has been angry ever since.

When I was a student I really idolized Chomsky. Read all his books. Went to see him speak. Having grown and learn so much in the decades since it is interesting looking back and hearing him construct ideas and make kind of exaggerated and alarmist claims within this interview. I guess my intellect has out grown him now. He focuses so much on what the Israelis have done with some linguistic sleight of hand to prime your interpretation. Not a lot of examination of the why or deeper motivations. Disappointing. And yes, his stance has not aged well at all.

Does anyone still listen to Chomsky after he ignorantly demonised personal health choices? He’s off my list. He does not do due diligence.

He fails to truly communicate that Jewish people, aside from Israel, lived there well before Palestinians or Islam ever existed.

Noam thinks the USA and Isreal are garbage. I’m surprised he hasn’t moved to Gaza, they just want to thrive after all.
