Did someone say that this person is an"intellectual"? Perhaps he is clever in one field of endeavour - but boy he is as dumb as dog shit when comes to possessing commonsense. Incredible assertions resembling conspiracy theories ...meaningless jargonised-waffle. I doubt this guy can tie his own shoelaces...so beleaguered with the 'fate of the innocent palestinians"...

Just more than the number killed on 9/11 He knows how to talk rubbish about SA Apartheid and Israel but is silent in these Murders. Its OK .

Let him go to his friends in Iran and stay there.

Israel's existence, full stop, and in his mind collaborating with the darkest forces on earth to bring about Israel's demise is acceptable, full stop!

he was trying to enter the west bank. that was the problem, had he been trying to enter israel they probably would have let him. they don't like people associating with the palestinians, only the warden gets to decide who can visit the prisoners.

WWI started because an ambassador was killed. So the I guess Mr. Chomsky doesn't think two soldiers are important.

So much for the freedom of speech and presentation of other ideas. We know where this begins ,but dont know where it will end.The direction is already stinking.

To deny Noam Chmosky the right to enter Israel and to visit the Bir Zeit University is an unfortunate mistake. Not only he is a renowned and respected intellectual and linguist but as an outspoken critic of both United States and Israel helps to emphasize their respective democracies. Is our democracy so weak, is it unable to resist Noam Chmoski leftist or anarchist ideas? I hardly can believe it!

...gee, it might be worth mentioning that chomsky has met with leaders of hizbullah... it might also be worth mentioning, if ynet is going to repeat his credentials as an academic intellectual, that the only thing that chomsky is qualified to speak about, as an intellectual, is language, being that all of his degrees are in LINGUISTICS. not politics. certainly not history. chomsky is a lunatic - close examination of his positions on issues other than israel reveal this.

Lets hope this trend continues.

his opinions should have no bearing on being able to enter a so-called democracy.

he can give his speech from where he's allowed.

As has been written, by me he is an intellectual, by you he might be an intellectual, but by an intellectual, he is no intellectual. Kol hakavod Yisrael, keep our enemies, whoever they are and wherever they come from, away from our land. I doubt if his subject would just have been as described. This is an evil, self-serving and opportunistic man and I remind all that not so long ago he stood on the Lebanese side of the border verbally attacking Israel. All the shallow protests aside, he is an enemy of Israel irrespective of his Jewish birth and should be kept out, as many others should too.

Chomsky is a radical agitator. He is a communist and self hating Jew. Not the first, unfortunately. He goes around giving lectures that are nothing but lies to agitate his listeners to "justified hatred" and consequential "justified acts og hate violence" Chomsky is nothing but lies, violence and death in the making. Israel has an obligation to protect herself from that.

built on top of a destroyed synagogue in a town where Arab invaders slaughtered all its ancient Jewish inhabitants?

"one of the prominent speakers against the Israeli policy". Note "the Israeli policy" not "Israel's policy" - written in the style of "the evil zionist entity", i.e always de-personalize and distance Israel in words.

Kol Hakavod! Bravo Israel! Finally a most welcomed act of rejection against this very non-Noam creature! It is time Chomsky & anyone who unjutifibaly acts against Israel the way he keeps on doing, will not be given the right to enter Israel.

So called intellectuals like him are people with severe psychological shortcomings...they hate themselves and they transfer their incurable self hatred to the objects of their twisted phantasy. Please Mr.Chomsky could You direct Your self hatred to the enemies of Israel - You could be cured...

Minister for Jewish Affairs of both the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and the Hamas Gvt in Gaza. What a shame, this would have been the accomplishment of a lifetime.

ive diologued with him extensively - everything he writes is pie in the sky drivel. he is the worst of us - an "intellectual" who misses so much

Best news I've read in a long time.

We have signs warning Arabs from entering the beach? The only warnign signs I ever saw was ones that warn Israelis from entering "Palestinian" villages.

My dictionary defines persona non grata as "an unacceptable or unwelcome person". Indeed, were an illustration associated with the phrase, Chomsky's picture would fit nicely. Every country has the right to decide who they allow to enter. So stop with the comparisons to dictatorships.

He could think about constructive criticism as he sat there waiting!

If he was an Israeli Collaborator and sympathizer trying to gain access into Ramallah I wonder how the terrorists would treat him maybe a beheading or hold him for ransom who knows what kind kind of horrors.
