Thinking Strategically: Should America Support Israel? 

Good debate. Chomsky as ever has a mastery of the facts that cuts like a razor.

One of the best debates I've seen on the topic.

This is one of the most serious, robust debates I’ve ever seen on this topic. Both fought well and honourably. Both are more or less inhabiting the same rational, facts-based universe-no Rudy Rochman whining about DNA tests, no Joan Peters denying that Palestinian nationality is a thing, and no Dershowitz raving about putting the wall on wheels. Ultimately though, when you get down to the facts, Chomsky is 100% right about why Oslo failed. When all the emotion and polemics and obfuscation and identitarian nonsense gets boiled down to cold, hard, rational debate, you quickly realise Israel and it’s supporters are in a totally un-winnable argument.

Excellent debate! Both have very important points to consider ; especially today in the present time, with equal needs. Two State Solution living side by side is most likely. Thank you Professor Noam Chomsky and Dennis Ross.

I love how Noam used specifics facts to demolished Dennis Ross argument which was extremely vague and unsophisticated

I suppose it's a lot to ask but I don't suppose anyone has done any fact checking on the big disagreements between Chomsky and the ambassador? I'd be interested to see what's on the record.

Good discourse

After all these years, Chomsky’s prediction has been correct. Israel continues to integrate the settlements in occupied territories into its state, the lands that Israel seems valuable, under the auspices of the USA.

Dennis Ross finally didn't run away with his tail behind his legs. Noam da man.

"Linguistics." wink. Twisting words.

Israel chose the expansion in 67, not rejecting the peace offers after.

The sickening disingenuousness of Chomsky on the question of BDS is pretty laughable.

of course U.S. shall support Israel no matter what. The capital of Israel is New York.
