The force of nature which is the natural law which translates to the law of the strongest depending who the strongest is. We need need instead more law and order and less violence, corruption and chaos. Let's get rid of all the weapons and killing machines invented by mankind!
Well , after seeing the replies to my comments and the number of likes to the incorrect version and the correct version, I am baffled by these responses. Laws are only enforced by the hands of courts, nobody else. The police work under the rulings of the courts. The minute you take law into your own hands, you are stepping out of a civilised nationhood into the unknown territories. Of course you could break a perfectly proper system and still pretend you are still operating in accordance to the proper laws. That is when the people need to step out of their hibernation state and concentrate on the what kind of action.
i am going to write his entire lecture so that one day i'll show it to my grandchildren cause i know they'll study distorted history like we all did. God blees this man
The history taught to the American People is a huge and grotesque distortion, and yet we have Right-Wingers and people like Donald Trump maintaining that we need to institutionalize what he calls "Patriotic History" in US public schools. I wonder what these people think we are taught??
So, why is this version of "history" true, but not other versions? Chomsky may be an intellectual, but he's not immune from error. In fact, he may be more deposed to error. This is his version, and it is just a far from the truth as others are. If you think Chomsky understands this situation more than anyone else, you are mistaken. The truth will never be told, because the truth is that both sides are guilty of wrong doing.
@@berniepeng Truth doesn't have versions You can't dispute his facts but can dispute his interpretation of them. I personally find him believable because he does state his sources. If you disagree then, use the same sources and provide someone giving a different interpretation...
I urge everyone to share this lecture as such as possible. Everyone needs and have to know the truth. There is unfortunately very fake news all over. We are in need of honesty!
23:40... I can't believe that nothing has changed since 12 years ago since when this lecture was uploaded. I can't believe that the US is still funding this and people are supporting genocxde without a shred of humanity.
We have a population of retards. You think they can make it through an hour and a half? I send my friends things like this and they want me to summarize it for them.
You can verify and compare with what is said or was said by reading or hearing and watching videos by Edward Said, Ilan Pappe', Gabor Mate, Shlomo Sand and Avi Shlaim
One thing that I like and admire Dr. Chomsky is that although he is a Jew but he criticizes Israel and supports Palestinians only because of justice, truth & his own logic and unlike many other people he doesn't follow unethical emotions....
Well, nowhere. Israel Palestine has been a shit sandwich for decades, and it continues to be. Change is certain over a long enough period of time, but how long that is, who knows... The Vietnam war ended largely because of a shift in American public opinion. I guess the same needs to happen here.
Naom is an extraordinary visionary, his immaculate perception of the world and true knowledge of its recent history makes him a rare breed. His is at peace with his i soul and conscience. A great man by all means.
@@marcoalessandro2034So the historical facts, treaties, policies, etc are deceitful? I think you'll find they're not, because they're right there in the history books of every book on the matter for all to read. I'm a Jewish man, I oppose Israel and it's ethnic cleansing and apartheid of Palestinians.
I used to love the guy...watched him on Men of Ideas back in 1978 on TV...of course he was just chatting about linguistics...just take any one of his long-winded political answers and skip to the end and you will find that he has gone on and on (and on...) as he pleases, mentioning facts, etc. that seem totally unrelated...but he does come round to tie it up with a bow at the end ...most over-rated intellectual guy i can think of...AND it seems all his 'evidence' is from the printed word ( we ain't talkin' Talmud' or Midrash', but the daily rags...pathetic You sir got personal there at the end...so let me respond to that, too...Aaron was the big brother of Moshe and the first high priest, ya? Me, I have no religion...but I have been to Israel twice...and i cry every night for them ...but i got zero sympathy for the 'you now who' . Sorry, and G-d bless P..S. I hope to visit my Jewish friends in South Africa some day soon...you know, there are more than two sides to any issue/reality, etc.
@@dark_mode ok and?! That doesn't make him immune from attempts at shutting him up. We all know Israel is the buffer state of the US in the middle east and they don't really like people criticising it. Chomsky is 92 and still talking about the subject!
Well, that's it though. He's Controlled Opposition. He would tell about bad America supporting apartheid, yet he won't, as his own friend James Petras has pointed out, talk about the role of AIPAC and other Jewish Lobbies around the world to the matter
Mr Chomsky tells the truth that mainstream media wilfully ignores or omit. I wish more people could read his books or follow his lectures. He is a principled man through and through
What a void when he and people like him are gone (he is 90 + after all) - where are the next generation? Around this subject it is the same names: Said (past), Hitchens (past), Norm F (still going but not as strong) Amy from DemocracyNow- who else is there? So, so, so depressing. The utter injustice makes one weep. It beggars belief. How Noam Chomsky manages to retain his calm, composed demeanour knowing what he knows is beyond me. A gem, he really is.
Go to the very experienced emeritus professors with solid knowledge and understanding of the subject. But not to the amateur teachers with limited knowledge of topics - but not even to studying college or university students that still learning from professors, books and experiences! Thank you so much Professor Noam Chomsky for such truth-telling lecture. 🤗❤️📖✍️🤔⏳The world really have so many things to learn from your vast knowledge with its understanding about varities of international relations in general.
@SkyGuySunny Wishingstar is right. Chomsky footnotes and cites extensively in his books. Just about any are great to pick up, but I just finished "Failed States" and highly recommend it.
Definitely most LUCID mind, anyway. And that’s why he could never be appreciated by any majority of citizens. Since facts (including backstage facts) tend to be rarely ‘very nice’, his analysis don’t match with the narratives people got used to be repeated over and over again through their fave mainstream media.
@@euphemiariley9114 i see, i dont mean to be argumentative but to me thats history and anthropology, perhaps even political science, could you be a bit more specific and elaborate because i honestly dont see where the philosophy is in your reply
I am reading a couple of books written by NC and I am stuck by the repetition today of past events. The arguments continue and with little progress. Then we have Oct 7th. They have completely gone nuts...again. This just sucks
This what education all about. When someone is full of knowledge, sincerity and love to humanity. Is like the palm 🌴 tree it full with dates fruits its bow down with humbleness like the Prof. When palm 🌴 tree empty it goes up arrogantly , cos its empty now dates like alot of empty head. Thanks Prof Noam
@tikkunolam613 Your hopes and words moved me very much. I wish many more people saw and felt the same way. Hope you continue to spread this message. Thanks.
@SkyGuySunny He quotes everything in his talks. For time-purposes he does not cite everything while he is talking but his transcripts have that information.
Thank you very much for this video . is it possible to see it with eng sub ? it would be more usable for people from other country as well . would appreciate it , thank you
I only know his name by the book he wrote bout history of English language. Because I studied it at University. There's alot recommendation book written by him. I was surprised that he gave lectured about this topic too. Thank you so mush sir for your lecturing.
@ Team TVS Do you have the Subtitle for this great video (in .srt)? Maybe you could re-upload this video in a higher resolution, that way a subtitle will/might be added "automatically".
I think the subtitle is: nothing happening here other than the usual one-sided analysis by a entrenched, left leaning, US hater who is adored by the left.
@@bakkchoddslaunde5723Neither do I, and yes neither does Chomsky, but the individual asking Allah to bless Chomsky clearly does have faith and so is expressing a wish for his God to bless Chomsky. Whether Chomsky believes in deities or not, doesn't detract from the best wishes of the bloke above making the comment "may Allah bless you."
I cant believe how many things he rightly predicted about the future political climate. Like how the us would take out Gaddafi and the Palestinian conflict
Brilliant as always. I was a freedom fighter in apartheid South Africa and watching the brutality of Israel triggers me! Ira trained many e African permanent special forces in the 70s and 80s. Says a lot!!!
Education! What really is education? Here is an educated man. It is a very melancholy play in the western world watching so called educated people ignore, deny or ridicule such public intellectuals. What if we turned on any of the network news media in the west and have a steady dose of such honesty, what would our world look like today? Tucson AZ. Is privileged to have Norm Chomsky as a resident,
@CytotoxicTrev @Wishingstarification Of course I was silly to write that without thinking about books! Noticed just after I wrote it actually. Read "Failed States" as well as "Chomsky on Anarchism" since.
It's always interesting to me that the thoughts and conclusions I arrive at intuitively are born out by people such as Mr Chomsky, who knows the details that justify my uneducated guessing on subjects such as this. I feel somewhat vindicated by these revelations.
The Palestinians missed every possibility to settlement der crisis all along 72 years since Israel was established .first on 29.11.47 rejected resolution 181 ,then opened a war against Israel {which was very small then} the war createdthe first lost of territories and also 1million Palestinian refuggies and 800000 jeish reffugies from arab lands which were absorbed in Israel ,while the Palestinians were "settled" in refuggie camps in Lebanon Syria Jordan to be used as a political tool against Israel by the arab regimes, then came the second tentative to destroy Israel as Israel was attacked by 5 arab states from all directions in June 67 , followed by a second lost of territories with occupation of the west bank and gazza and the go;an heihts, followed by a long period of terror which broughtthem nowhere ,while Jordan and Eygpt signed separated peace treaties with Israel living the Palestinian alone,then came Oslo agreement ,Rabin was murded but Ehud Barck and Clinton reached a plan to withdrown from 95 percent from occupied west bank and 100 percent of Gazza in order to reach a peace with Arafat , but Arafat demanded a withdrown immediatly while Barack offered in fo;;owing steps{as was done with the peace agreement with Eygpt}Arafat rejected it and left the USA and then oened the first Intifada,,,,,Clinton said then that the Palestinians missed the train twice one in 48 and the second time under his Presidency...After Barack came PM Ulmehrt again with an offer similiar to that offer by Barack but also this offer was rejected by the Palestinians , then the people of Israel who saw how the Palestinians reject over and over the offers along 70years started to shift to the right parties, while the labour party leaded with big maggiorty by Rabin was in progressive voters decline along the successive years untill reaced the lowest level of mandated since its creation in 1947 ,Sharon and Netanyaho reinforced the right wing parties and the USA leaded by Trump supported completly the right wing policy in Israel,now the Palestinians complains about what happened in the last 72 ,I do take my responality as Israeli ,but I ask :where were you all the time along before we reached that point...
@@guliver2559 did you get paid to write this ? I wanna get paid too. I'm not Palestinian go preach someone else. If I want history lessons I check researchers and intellectuals
@@guliver2559 "Israel" never existed and has no right to exist today. All the European colonists can go back to the European countries they came from. Problem solved.
@@moodist1er 75% or more of Israel is Mizrahi meaning you're advocating ethnically cleansing 25% of Israel's population, most of whom were refugees and the other half being legal immigrants irrespective of who was in charge of the region be it Israel, Britain, and the Ottomans. Sorry to break it to you buddy but Jewish people living in that area aren't going anywhere and no amount of ethnic cleansing you're calling for is going to change that, maybe redirect your play activism to actual issues the Palestinian independence movement needs like cleaning up its internal administration, cleaning its image internationally, Actually practicing democracy within the PNA, etc.
Could anyone refer me to credible sources of information about the vox populi in Middle Eastern and North African countries (such as ones mentioned slightly after 30')?
Not sure, but I think human rights reports from what's happening on the ground in Palestine are unbiased. Or at the very least will balance out what Israel says. Breeding hopelessness can only brew the problem further.
Why is the God damn English transcript not available or a written transcript so it makes it easier to copy the transcript for subtitling or translation of the video in Arabic?!!
I'd watch the news if I could see reports actually detailing world events objectively or at least reporting multiple viewpoints thoroughly. Thank you for posting!
A PRAYER FOR PALESTINE FROM A JEW:Let us help them to create something extraordinary,just as we have for ourselves-it is in our best interest to do so! Let us help them to build a home they will love with all their hearts,as we love Israel with all of ours.! Let's teach each other how to win non-zero sum games. We are both great nations-let us never forget this!Let us nurture peace with both our enemies and our friends, and recognize that they are a mirror...reflecting light unto the nations
Let’s start by not moving the American embassy to Jerusalem let’s start by giving the land back let’s show Israel is serious about bringing peace to the region,
The ANC has been a colossal failure and a socialist organization. Chomsky knows this and ignores it. And he says Cuba played a major role in freeing black Africans? Yeah, ok
Obama is President when he is giving this lecture and he demonizes the US but no criticism of the Obama Doctrine. That’s like criticizing Nazis but not mentioning Hitler. Smart is Smart but Chomsky is a fraud when it comes to politics
@@jasperdolphin9982 don’t call me a bum....and he’s been way less critical of Obama than other regimes...because he’s still a liberal at heart and won’t leave his ideology. Ok, fan boy?
Oil unfortunately is what drives the world. Until you can come up with a reliable alternative to keep the lights on so you can listen to a lecture you just have to accept that
And here we are, 2023, nothing has changed. Except that the American people have turned into propaganda even more, and tried to overthrow their own rightfully elected president in-between...
thanks to noam chomsky i lay in my bed all night listening to this and didn't get to sleep until 1:30am. now im exhausted, a little more educated, but still, exhausted.
People think that the conflict in Jerusalem is religious. While it is absolutely not! The Palestinians who landed in the country (Christians, Muslims) were actually part of the Jewish kingdom and then when Christianity came they converted their religion. Part of them also changed their religion to Islam upon the Omarion agreement when they entered Jerusalem. I.e: all the above are the original people of this holy land. It was always called the holy land. The idea that Israel colonized in Palestine since 1888, particularly, from Russia. Those people has nothing to do with the Talmud - or the main Judaism bible. They colonize in secret operations under what they formulated: the Zionist organization with the guidance of Theodor Herzl. After that, the British mandate promised the Jewish(Zionists) to have their own land in Palestine in 1917 (Balfour Declaration) upon the end of the British mandate, the Israeli army killed over a million Palestinians and dispersed more than 700K Palestinians in what we called Nakba in 1948 and they announced the state of Israel. Thus, Israel is not a religion-based state as most of people think. Israel is just the influence weapon of the masonic Agenda created by the UK and US. They only use the religious story to emotionally influence people that it is their land. While, in fact, the real Jews refused to come to Israel as they claimed there was nothing called Israel and they should stay homeless until their King David came back to save them and establish their state. That is called history. History cannot be deleted, whatever they claimed. I have been studying and teaching history for more than 30 years. I know very well what I am talking about. Read about Nakba, Tantura, tree of Prophets, Masonic Agenda, etc and you will know the truth.

I don’t understand how anyone can focus on what he’s saying with that aggressive coughing in the background... it this just a 2020 covid era ptsd response?
to pursue the humanitarian - moral path, and perhaps listen to what Christopher Hitchens had to say about it.... It will provide hi, and all of us, a much firmer moral ground on which to find a viable solution to this long bloody conflict.
...because sharing the land is the only just, and only viable, solution to the situation for both peoples. The kind of rhetoric you trade in - an all or nothing, zero sum game - helps no one in the long run.
It help Palestinians , both are same numbers now , all it need a historical event sooner or later that USA is not in power to help that is in God's hand . History say more, study cursades , same conditions 120 years of full occupation and weak Arab around even Arab allied with cursaders against their own brothers sometimes . History is best teacher
I scrolled through different parts of the video and the coughing is non-stop. Does anyone have any advice on how to be able to enjoy this without the coughing? I’m really bummed.
Go to settings and change playback speed to 1.25, you'll hear that coughing but it's more bearable IMO and Noam sounds better too. Then enjoy your time savings.
