Chomsky calls Israel ‘bloodstained monster’

by on January 15, 2009 8

Saint Noam's MIT lecture was packed, with video feed to the overflow. Described the Gaza attack as the "U.S.-Israel attack on helpless Palestinians" and pointed out that the ramming of the Cynthia McKinney boat went largely unreported while the nation glued its eyes to the Somalian oil boat caper.

    Typical Chomsky, putting the U.S. first ("U.S.-Israel attack on helpless Palestinians"). Chomsky never talks about Israel without putting the U.S. first, in an attempt to further solidify the false depiction of Israel as a "U.S. satellite." He continues to do this, despite the overwhelming preponderance of evidence to the contrary, i.e. that Jewish money controls U.S. policy in the interest of Israel, thus creating a "tail wags the dog" scenario.

    If Chomsky doesn't work in some formal capacity for Mossad or some Zionist enterprise, then he at a minimum is an "agent of the cause."

    Chomsky is not Mossad or even pro-Israeli.

    He is a frustrated and disgusted American jew….

    I do believe the tail wags the dog, but that doesn't change the fact that the U.S could theoretically stop this madness tomorrow if it so desired.

    And it's till the AMERICAN Israel lobby – made up of American jewish elites with ties to other American elites- that allow for this evil to continue.

    So he's not wrong per se….

    American foreign policy in other parts of the world that has nothing to do with jews is quite fascist as well. i.e Central and South America, East Timor, etc etc.

    Saint Chomsky, I'll add that to my collection. Chomsky the left gatekeeper, Chomsky the antisemite. I knew him as a linguist only and was introduced to the political Chromsky: the gate-keeper of the left around the same time others spread the news he was an antisemite.

    Well, he obliterates the fast and easy scapegoat scenario. America the good, Israel the evil. His hint at deep economic connections is surely correct. A really early site with informations and link connections on the Neocons suggested a triangle of economic institutions in New York – London – Tel Aviv. Unfortunately the waybackmachine has no copy.

    He raised a lot of things I have been pondering about myself. …like an essential parallel settlers mentality. FrontPageMag once felt as if it wanted to destroy the noble savage myth. [That of course leaves out the racism, who formed the background for the myth formation. An ancient but recurring theme in modifications]

    At the moment we assume the US admin wasn't informed. What if they were? The only thing that was strictly forbidden was Iran. Everything else seems to fit. Has any president before Obama ever obeyed protocol so closely? There is only one president at the time.

    I have never heard him before. But obviously he is Norman Finkelstein main influence. They are very, very close.

    Has any president before Obama ever adhered to the protocol so closely?

    Protocol suddenly sounded German. But it seems you use it too?

    LISTEN TO THE LECTURE BEFORE PASSING COMMENT.
    Noam Chomsky was quoting Israeli writer Uri Avnery who referred to Israel as the "Blood Stained Monster".

    Noam Chomsky is an academic of the highest moral standing, other like many of his fellow academics who seem to appease the power systems. He says it as it is.
    The majority of rational people tend to agree with his work, despite the lack of media coverage given to him.
    Noam Chomsky is NOT antisemitic, he was a member of a zionist group in his youth, he doesn't agree with the concept of political Zionism. Which just seems to bread hate.
