61. Jail Chomsky
Avi ,   Miami, USA   (05.17.10)
Chomsky shouldn't have been denied entry. He should have been imprisoned as an enemy of the Jewish people. He should share a cell with his friend Richard Goldstone
62. Yeah
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.17.10)
He's not Jewish and he's no intellectual.
63. #59, British succor
izzie ,   zion   (05.17.10)
I guess Chris Linswaith couldn't make it so they sent ben to be the typical british anti semite sticking up for anything that is anti israel. You guys are becoming so predictable. of course with 30% of Britain now being minorities you guys have lost control and must now obey your muslim masters, formerly your muslim immigrants. But with the local muslims so willing to use violence to get their point acorss Britain has become a joke in every sense of the word. In fact Britain is nothing more than a third rate power and these kinds of posts prove why. The british mind has turned to mush and now you accept anti semitism as intellectual thought, your support of chomsky is proof. it is remarkable that neither he nor british intellectulas can find one redemming aspect of israel. And to call it apartheid when palestinians have full constitituional rights, serve in the kenesset and 25% of students at Tel Aviv U are palestinian is to intentionaly distort the facts for propaganda purposes. Israel does not need to let chomasky in so he can spread incitement. On the idiots in Britain were stupid enought to tolerate that and now the muslims have taken over London. Keep chomsky all for yourself, Ben .. your intelectualizing his writings makes you a co conspirator.
64. #58 'noam chomsky denying entrance to Israel'
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (05.17.10)
Firstly, that's why they didn't let him in and secondly... ....tell us about your government and Geert Wilders before spurting your double standards
65. Dean.. You can keep your Noam Chomeinski
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (05.17.10)
and suggest that you delve slightly deeper into the history and reasons for this conflict. Start with the Balfour Declaration. What do we need Poland for when we have our own homeland in Israel? Israelis of Polish origin can get Polish passports if they want them, mind. Would that upset you?
66. #58/59 Democracy not doormat
Cynthia ,   USA   (05.17.10)
Israel has more than enough Chomskys and they undermine Israel. That's why you like Chomsky. Invite him to your country or buy his book. Israel doesn't need him.
67. what a wacky, wacky site - ynet
Csonka Sonka   (05.17.10)
whenever you want to know what lefty-looney journos have to say about the latest oral farts from lefty-looney patches-on-the-jacket-elbow professors - why, you can turn to ynet! how convenient! otherwise, if you want real news, there are other options for the rest of us normal people... goodbye
68. chomsky
Logihead ,   Canada   (05.17.10)
It was the right decision to block the entry of this friend of Israels enemies, Noam Chomsky. To me, Jewish friend of Israels enemies is worst then the enemy itself. Israel does not need the lights of Traitors like Chomsky, Frankenstein and Goldstone.
69. Chomsky, Finkelstein: worst type of self-hating jews
Flavio ,   Sao Paulo, Brazil   (05.17.10)
Theirs are a case for very experienced psychiatrists, no one in his right mind can really inderstand where all this unconditional, relentless, perennial hate comes from. Chomsky and Finkelstein detest Israel, not this or that Israeli government but the State itself. They are disgusting human beings who enjoy being used by Israel's worst enemies as examples, 'see, Jews themselves are against Israel'. The definitive analysis was made by Alan Dershowitz in 'The Case against Israel's enemies'.
70. did not america did same to Cat Stevens, did not england ..
someone ,   somewhere city, usa   (05.17.10)
did same to Greet Wilders, now what happened that not granting entery to a "linguistic" makes a big deal? is the same standard applied to israel, applicable to other states?
71. who the hell is this man? is this piece of "news" worth ...
whoever ,   wherever   (05.17.10)
becoming the headline? aren't we ourselves making a giant, out of a neurotic man, with economical motives?
72. if you observe closely the audience of this " linguist", ...
me ,   usa   (05.17.10)
...then you become proud if you are the supporter of Israel. His audiences are nonhomogenous, made of far left, to jihadist, to extremist, conspiratory believer, bipolar in maniac phase, anarchist, far rightist,
73. this man loves to be admired, to be considered as the ...
psychologist ,   los angeles   (05.17.10)
...redempter of humanity, breaker of shakels, intelectual, some one extraordinary, while he has many scotomas in his vision, he has admired Hizbullay, the same party that strongly supports Islamic republic of iran.
74. Finkelstein and Chomsky can go to hell
GZLives   (05.17.10)
Go visit Yemen or the Sudan fellas ...
75. An Accusation That I Do Not Believe
Elizabethlynne ,   Dallas, Texas   (05.17.10)
I do not believe that Israel has been kidnapping and killing civilians from Lebanon. That said, I am Jewish and I believe that it is incumbent on all Jewish people to treat the Palestinian people with the same respect and caring that they want shown to themselves and their families. I am sick of the suffering on both sides of the border, I am impatient for a change for the better, it feels that the conflict is breaking my heart.
76. # 62 Sarah B
Truthseeker ,   USA   (05.17.10)
Whether or not you like it Noam Chomsky is Jewish and his intellect far surpasses yours or probably any of the others posting in this Chomsky hate-a-thon. Sorry that you are so insecure that you can't accept anyone exposing Israel's warts.
77. No one is obligated to admit a sworn enemy, especially...
Scott ,   USA   (05.17.10)
a famous narcissist.
78. He's claimed that Israel was already over the edge. So which
Zvi   (05.17.10)
is it?
79. Hypocritical bloody whiners, Chomsky & the Fink
Avi   (05.17.10)
80. & George Galloway is Persona-non-Grata in Egypt.
Jake ,   USA   (05.17.10)
Sovereign nations have the right to bar the entry of agitators & agent provocateurs.
81. #57, you poor gullible soul...
Jake ,   USA   (05.17.10)
Noam Chomsky is an agent of the controlled-opposition. Do some research and tell me if he still "inspires" you. I pray for sheep like yourself to open your eyes and learn the awful truth. Anti-Zionism is the most popular narrative among the controlled-opposition. The tactics have changed, but blaming Jews for the worlds' ills is nothing new. Please do your research and stop supporting evil.
82. Why Doesn't Chomsky Speak in Mecca?
Yosef ,   haifa/ny   (05.17.10)
Is there some reason Chomksky doesn't speak at a university in Mecca?
83. Chomsky
Judy Feld Carr, CM, ,   Toronto, Canada   (05.17.10)
How dare you hate your People so much, Mr. chomsky? It is hard for me to believe, (and I am NOT a child of survivors like you are) that you could hate Israel with such venom.
84. #19 where do you come up with this stuff??!
@ # 19 ,   USA   (05.17.10)
Quit trying to victimize the oppressor
85. You would do the same to Albert Einstein??
Danny ,   Washington USA   (05.17.10)
This episode shows how blinded of their own moral demise the Israelis have become. Noam Chomsky, is, in spite of his highly controversial and sometimes offensive views, considered one of the foremost and most intelligent scholars alive today. Albert Einstein rejected Israel and the displacement of Palestinians and the Zionist movement. If Einstein was alive today, he would have told you the same things Chomsky is saying today - and would have gotten the same treatment by the Israeli government. God bless the truthful.
86. I see anti-Jewish "journalist" Ali Waked is at it again.
sk ,   USA   (05.17.10)
87. p.s.
sk ,   USA   (05.17.10)
Out of curiosity, why should anyone care what the Jew-hater and 5th rate "intellectual" Finkelstein says about anything?
88. #59 We both want to boycott Israel, but it goes both ways
Ben Alofs ,   Bangor, UK   (05.17.10)
Israel has the right to boycott us too. What are you complaining about?
89. #59 Can you name another democracy in the Middle East?
Ben Alofs ,   Bangor, UK   (05.17.10)
If you cannot then shut up
90. Who cares
Nimrod Tal ,   TA, IL   (05.17.10)
Other countries like the US and Britain keep their doors closed to trash. We should too
