2. Top self hating Jew takes top honors.
Marshall ,   U.S   (10.18.05)
3. Chomsky's OPPOSITION TO HUMAN RIGHTS FOR JEWS...
Linda Rivera ,   Occupied New York   (10.18.05)
...makes him wildly popular with every Jew-hater on the planet. Stop the Ethnic Jew Cleansing STOP THE EVIL JEW HATE THERE NEVER WAS AN ARAB COUNTRY OF PALESTINE. Jerusalem was NEVER the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. JERUSALEM IS MENTIONED OVER 800 TIMES IN THE BIBLE, not once in the Koran. Around 1948, Arabs violently ETHNICALLY CLEANSED about one million Jews from Arab countries. Arab governments seized the land, homes, bank accounts, businesses and assets of the Jews. Most of the Jewish refugees fled to Israel. THERE MUST NOW BE A JUST SETTLEMENT FOR THE JEWISH REFUGEES AND THEIR DESCENDANTS-COMPENSATION IN LAND AND FINANCES. In 1922, Britain illegally gave MOST OF PALESTINE-80% TO THE ARABS. The area became Jordan, giving the Arabs an Arab Palestinian state on JEWISH land. IT WAS ETHNICALLY CLEANSED OF JEWS. This area is part of ancient, Biblical Israel, and along with present-day Israel, including Judea, Samaria, Gaza and the Golan was recognized by the League of Nations as the Jewish homeland. In 1948, Egypt invaded Gaza and ethnically cleansed ALL Jews. In 1948, Jordan invaded Judea-Samaria (West Bank) and east Jerusalem and ETHNICALLY CLEANSED ALL JEWS. Jordan, opposing G-D DESTROYED 58 synagogues in Jerusalem. In 1967 when Israel won Islam's religious war of aggression against it, Jews returned to the areas of their homeland they had been ethnically cleansed from for 19 years. Islamofascists DECEITFULLY call this return "occupation". Under international law, territories are considered "occupied" only when taken in an act of aggression which does not apply to Israel. Judea, Samaria and Gaza are not 'occupied territories' according to international law because they were not taken from any foreign sovereign. ALL of the Jewish land, homes, properties and businesses stolen from the Jews in the 1948 Islamic invasion must be returned to the Jews IMMEDIATELY

Your transparency can not be hidden. Your first dead give away was spelling the word Jew with a lower case - j. JEW is spelled with a Capitol J, just for your information. Those that spell Jew the way you do shows your disdain for JEWS. It is no wonder you like Chompsky. That was your second give away. And btw: Anti-Zionism is Anti-semitism. Zionism is not RACISM. But now give me 'real authentic verifiable' FACTS as to why and how Jews are racists. ( If you can.) Chompsky suffers from Portnoy's complex. He had a thing with his overbearing Jewish mother. There are many like him. He is not the first and certainly not the last. He and others like him are a disgrace to the Jewish people. It is no wonder Great Britain choose to honor him. They are mostly self proclaimed Jew haters as well. Tell you what, a few Chompskys can never ruin the superior humanity of a Jew and that is even with all our flaws!! So you and Chompsky and all the Jew haters of the world can have a real hay day together. We will surrvive just beautifully without you. Go for it!
5. Chomsky
michael ,   Haifa   (10.18.05)
Chomsky is to be praised for his contribution to Linguistics, irrespective of his political views, just by the same token that Auman's Nobel Prize for game theory should be praised irrespective of his political views
6. Chomsky
Russell ,   Miami   (10.18.05)
I went to Penn and am sorry that my University "miseducated" him. What a waste. I disagree with virtually everything he says and for which he stands. It is not surprising though that the British have bestowed an honor upon them. They are also miseducated by the BBC and the Guardian.

A TRAITOR AMONG US. HIS PARENTS MUST BE TURNING IN THEIR GRAVES
10. Chomsky & The European Antisemites
Adina kutnicki ,   NJ, US   (10.18.05)
This report is absolutely not a surprise. In actuality he was a natural choice. Why? Because he embodies the most extreme & virulent form of delusional self hatred that is "prominent" among many Jewish "intellectuals" . He is indeed their poster boy. (though more like a grandpa now) He is a textbook case that can be found in Dr. Kenneth Levin's (himself a powerful intellectual with an MD from Harvard AND a PHd from Princeton in history) compelling book "The Oslo Syndrome;Delusions of A People Under Siege". The most notable Jewish intellectuals for decades have been susceptible to this delusional illness. However, the fact that such a well known Jewish intellectual speaks exactly like any neo nazi or Arab nazi is delicious irony for Europe's "elites". I have advised my son studying at MIT to stay as far away from this parasite named Chomsy as possible.
11. JUST ANOTHER SELF-HATING JEW only the UK can honor such man
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (10.18.05)
Chomsky, Noam chomsky@mit.edu Professor of Linguistics at M.I.T whose sorry life has been filled with dissent, anarchism, Marxism, anti-Americanism and a visceral hatred for the Land of Israel. He's also had a prolonged and varied collaboration with the neo-Nazi movement. He once wrote, "I see no anti-Semitic implications in denial of the existence of gas chambers, or even denial of the Holocaust." In other words, Chomsky is a thoroughly despicable human being. For more on this pathetic Jew, click Here. http://www.acpr.org.il/ENGLISH-NATIV/04-issue/bogdanor-4.htm
12. Please don't forget to mention that he is an anti-Semite
(10.18.05)
Not only does Chomsky violently demand that Israel be dismantled, but he wrote a forward in a book that claims; the Holocaust never took place; the Gas Chambers never existed; the Jews bear the responsibility of WW2; Hitler acted reasonably and in self-defence when he rounded up the Jews and put them in 'Labour camps' (not Death Camps); The 'massive lie' about genocide was a deliberate concoction begun by American Zionists ; the principle beneficiary of this Hoax is Israel, which has encouraged this 'enourmous political and financial fraud;' The principle victims of this fraud have been the German and Palestinian people; & the Diary of Anne Frank was a fraud. 'Robert Faurisson: Memoire en Defense.' (I am disappointed that his anti-Semitism isn't mentioned in this article!) Chomsky is not only the hero of the Holocaust 2-encouraging Leftists, but for Neo-Nazis, KKK, etc... The fact that he was voted the 'most intellectual' only reveals again the frightening anti-Semitism that has inundated Britain.
13. Chomsky = a SICK PERVERTED ANTI-SEMITE
ran   (10.18.05)
Chomsky is nothing less than a sick, perverted, self hating little anti-semite
14. Read Chomsky!!
Pete ,   UK   (10.18.05)
Has anyone here leaving these remarks actually read chomsky? Clearly not. They are choosing to spout the nonsense they have read by some critics. Regarding the holocaust, Chomsky has said that, 'to even begin to question the scale of the holocaust is to do a great disservice to its victims.' Chomsky supported World War Two also and has tirelessly fought against facsism in all his work. Try opening one of his books before making crazy accusations. I hope every day that here in Britain people can still criticise Israeli atrocities without being labelled anti-semites or without appearing apologetic towards the jihadi facsicts. Making awful comments about the British like some here is very upsetting and is like me accusing all Isralis of rascism towards arab men, women and children. That would be outrageous i'm sure you will agree. If only people knew Chomskys true beliefs, the world would be a much better place in my view. Rant over! Read Chomsky! Peace
15. I've noticed that according to responses to y-net
(10.18.05)
anyone who is a free and independent thinker is immediately labeled an anti-semite. what is it with you people? what are you so afraid of? that we free and independent thinkers may be right!
16. Highly intelligent Jew lacks normal common sense, its normal
Bunnie Meyer ,   Santa Monica, CA   (10.18.05)
Jews are supposed to care about healing the world. Some figure out the correct way, but some become leftists, communists, pacificists, and dingbats. He has a large brain that allows him to come up with destructive irrational ideas. This is how some people develop when they hang around leftist anti-Semetic freaks.
17. Chomsky's love of tyrants
AK   (10.18.05)
Chomsky, this celebrated "thinker" not only has no problem with neo-Nazis, Islamo-Fascists and other Jew-haters, but was also a fervent admirer and an apologist for Pol Pot, the man who was responsible for the extermination of nearly a third of the population of the Cambodia. As a matter of fact, he admires all tyrants from Stalin to Castro and Arafat. This celebrated "intellectual" is clearly devoid of the ability to think clearly and has absolutely no moral standards; however, he has two things going for him to earn him European and Third World admiration – he hates America and he hates Israel. Actually, we already know that our Universities have become the repositories for old bankrupt Leftist ideologies and a brand new one, Islamism or Islamo-fascism, which has been generously financed by the Saudi and the Gulf –states' petro-Dollars. Strangely enough, the atheistic Left does not mind being closely allied with the fanatically religious Islamo-fascists, just like the famed "internationalists" see no contradiction in their making common cause with Arab nationalists. However, if this British vote is indicative of the current European mindset, they and their entire civilization will self-destruct within this century.
18. Again, read his work!
Pete ,   Uk   (10.18.05)
Ok, Chomsky was never, as you say an admirer and apologist for Pol Pot. Quite the opposite. He merely demanded that Indonesian atrocities in East Timor were seen in the same light. Again, a huge massacre, like Pol Pot but with one crucial difference, Indonisia was using weapons bought fron America. Pol Pot was a communist massacre so the western press made a massive issue of it, quite rightly. America was complicit in genocide in East Timor and the story was buried until Chomsky got hold of it. You cant imagine the words Chomsky reserves for Stalin, why not read for yourself? Chomsky has moral standards of the highest degree, standing up for the downtroden, repressed and despised common person the world over. Israels problems are addressed clearly by chomsky, you might be surprised by what he has to say. You could read this guy you hate so much and know nothing of! Got any more slanderous accusations? regards
19. dont care really
(10.18.05)
never even heard of the guy
20. Says much about England
Joel ,   Huntington, NY   (10.18.05)
This idiotic award says more about England than it does about intellectuals in the world. A sad commentary on a country that used to lead the free world but has, unfortunately, never recovered from World War 2.
21. leading the world
Pete ,   UK   (10.18.05)
You are correct England did lead the world. It was brutal. Do you have no historical knowledge of British Imperialism? Don't worry your country has it in mind to try and hold the same power, you will see how it works. The people of Britain recovered from world war two fine thanks. We all even have healthcare!! Just imagine this utopian country. Even the poorest of the poor get fixed up! At least try to make intelligent comments. Go to a library pick one of his books up and read. Then if you disagree thats fine come on here and we can discuss the issues like adults. Chomsky loves America. When you love your country you will do anything to make it the best it can be. Good Night
22. Chomsky is a great American Intellectual
Daniel Pearl ,   NY, US   (10.19.05)
Chomsky's out-of-the-box thinking made him so popular in the US that we consider him a great thinker. His criticism of the US in many areas is constructive and beneficial to the progress of the American nation. We can disagree with him of course. But calling him anti-American is ridiculous.
23. Petefrom England
AK   (10.19.05)
Yes, some of us did read some of Chomsky's political screeds, before putting the book down so not to choke. Some of us have memories slightly longer than yesterday. Chomsky supported WWII, but like for most communists, it was conditioned on the Soviet Union's involvement in that war, after being attacked. Most communists did not support the war against Hitler prior to June 1941, since at that time Soviets had a nonaggression pact with Hitler. Chomsky's books are being published in Europe by a publisher who is, putting it gently, a Holocaust denier and Chomsky wrote a nice Preface for his book. Chomsky's defense and support of Pol Pot in on record and you can check it, and so was his admiration for the policies of Mao's in China and for Castro's Cuba. Curiously, Chomsky preferred to admirer all those systems from the comfort and security of the U.S., while he's been enjoying the privileges of a college professor in a decadent and evil West, rather than participate in building "worker's paradise." You speak like a true "believer," which leads me to believe that you're either very young or in search of a new religion, the Church of England having become rather passé. I, on the other hand, as a graduate of the communist system, can see nothing benevolent in Chomsky's views and as matter of fact, he's everything I despise. Now, with the collapse of the communist "religion," the restless Left has eagerly found a new one – its alliance with Islam/Islamism, the most backward and cruel of all religions. How appropriate, from Castro to Arafat, nothing could be more natural.
24. so what
navi emet ,   cyberspace   (10.19.05)
stalin was revered by millions of lefists and considered a genious. hitler was also revered by millions and considered a genious. let the lot of them go to kapparot.
25. Chomsky is about as Jewish as the pope
Yehudi   (10.19.05)
He is anti-Jewish, anti-Israel, the Satan, the speaker of all that is evil in the world. May he meet justice for his evil.
26. TO #18
Mark ,   United States   (10.19.05)
OF COURSE HE IS LOVED IN BRITAIN. BRITAIN IS FILLED WITH ANTI-SEMITES AND ANTI-SEMITES LOVE FELLOW ANTI-SEMITES. LOOK AT PRINCE HARRY. HIS NAZI COSTUME REPRESENTS THE U.K. THE UNITED KINGDOM OF JEW HATERS. YOUR COUNTRY IS UNITED AGAINST ALL JEWS AND THE STATE OF ISRAEL.

Mark ,   United States   (10.19.05)
28. Chomsky's Intellectual contributions now being challenged
RNathanS ,   Washington, DC   (10.19.05)
Those who tolerate or overlook Chomsky's leftist rantings and Israel bashing based on his "intellectual" contributions may be about to take a major hit as new research brings his foundation theory into question. Check out http://www.forward.com/articles/4053
29. The enemies always appreciate anti-Jewish Jews
Roger ,   USA   (10.19.05)
The Jewish haters of Jews are always popular among the anti-Semites, haters of Israel. It is a given! They always quote and praise the Jews critical of other Jews. That is how it has always been.
30. Great thinker
Edward ,   NY CITY   (10.19.05)
Noam Chomsky is a world class thinker ,his views on Israel's brutal policies towards the Palestinians and the Arab people in the mid-east should serve as a wake up call to jews all over the world ...the radical israeli policy of bombing and destruction of Palestinian homes should be criticised , this policy will only increase the hate that jews face by the westeren powers who help Israel against the Arabs in the mid-east ,many jewish leaders are now distancing themselves from Israeli policies .
