Those who demonize and delegitimize Israel, who say the world would be better off without it, who hold it to standards of perfection no other country is held to, who extol or commiserate with its mortal enemies, who liken it to Nazi Germany and apartheid South Africa, who make it the scapegoat not only for crimes it hasn’t committed, but for those of which it is a victim — yes, such people are anti-Semitic, whether they acknowledge it or not. Islam is preaching anti-Semitisn – it did not creat it. More at : http://xrl.us/kw6hh

Visa is not a right, it's a privilege. Nobody is entitled to it. So maybe you, the author of this nonsense, would let somebody to come into your house and defecate in the middle of your living room. Believe it or not, most people would not. Neither should the State of Israel. I hope the Ministry of Interior will have enough self-respect and respect for this country to stand by its decision. Chomsky can speak somewhere else.

got nothing to do with freedom of speach, if it connected to inciting against the specific someone, you see if he had the chance to lectur in Israel they would have giving him the right but since his lectures might hit things up in the WB which might by non direct means cann cause harming people than he should be banned, it's the same principle they didn't let stalin speak in the USA, so pleace stop abusing the tearm democracy, just in case you don't know democracy got freedom of speach BUT... this is the good part you don't incite or cause harm to people by direct or undirect means, in this case it might hurt people and state, not only that he is extreme left winger who rule out any religion identity that is good reason for someone to consider as inciting.

Israel does not have to suffer fools gladly.

no obligation of allowing him into our country, him being a man who would do all that he can to bring about Israel's demise and would collaborate with the darkest forces of humanity in bringing this about. I would not allow Chomsky into my personal dwelling, and the Jewish people as a people should not allow him into our collective one, Israel.

because I used to be one. Israel and Israelis boycotting me made me do an honest soul searching and came to the conclusion that Israel is in the right against Arabs. Maybe this little step against Chomsky will will finally trigger in him the light that will guide him out of the dark time he is foreseeing.

Chomsky represents an extremist attitude that supports a ban on Israeli academic freedom a boycott of Israel's economy and supporting moves to cripple Israel's economy and force its people into unemployment and poverty. Chomsky colleagues and supporters rabidly encourage the banning of Israel from all international events be they conferences on how to save lives or sporting events or trade shows. All this is in support of the Palestinians, who want to build a state based on their known flagrant abuse of human rights, their miserable record of corruption, their history of slaughtering their own women with honor killings, and their dismal record of abusing their own minorities. So who are the fascists???

Chomsky want to deliver a lecture at Birzeit University and not in TA University but this clearly show the nature of "Israel’s" racism Although it is unfortunate Palestinian students will not be able to listen directly to this honest Intellectual, but this is probably a good decision in our battle with the world public opinion , so the ruling gang in Tel Aviv serve our objectives....thanks :) In any case Ahlan wa Sahlan of "Israel" to the Middle East dictatorship's Club

Chumpsky certainly is over-qualified

all you hear israel and her supporters claim is look how much freedoms israel has compared to her arab neighbors. israeli policy is so contradicting & ridiculous. kind of like how they claim they want peace with the palestinians but take more of their lands in the west bank and east jerusalem

but until Israel will invent that type of machine than the only way to WB from the USA is through Israel. as usual you too melodramatic, but I reckon the USA keep close eye on him considering his extreme left winger opinions. :)

tell me Salma, do you know how many countries the people of Israel represent? there are people in Israel that live here from over 55 countries ...how many people do they let into Arab ruled countries? you call us racist? are Jews allowed in any arab country? are woman allowed to vote ? are woman allowed to drive? are people allowed to vote? Arab nations are run by dictators who by their nature are racist. Sunie or Shite? dont talk to us about racist. one more thing...the Palistinians in Lebanon....they are not allowed to have work permits, nor own land....is that not racist??

Chomsky is counted among the 'self-hating' Jews, who gains power through his platform of pandering to the enemies of Israel, to those that would destroy Israel. His intellectual rationalizations are all self righteous hateful and misguided. Unfortunately the irreligious leaders of Israel cannot lead, yet they are Israel's "leaders'. Israel must remove ALL of Islam from it's borders, as they failed to do with Amalek, and continue to repel self hating Jews such as the notorious Chomsky.

As do most Muslims living in the west, they draw a fine line between the necessity to survive within the rules of the democracies Islam wishes to replace with Sharia law, & out-spoken religious obligations of destroying all that is not Islam. Islam's objective is to Islamize the world. Their un-holy Qoran teaches to burn the infidel or convert him at the sword. Their original gang-leader, Mohammed, murdered most of the Jews in Medina, setting the stage to promulgate eternal hate for Jews & illegitimization of Israel & Judaism (the very religion and Torah they now deprecate, Islam used as a basis for their own laws!). He set the convenient precedent for child molesters, pedophiliacs, by taking a 9 year old baby as a "wife", ...What kind of prophet is that? Islam is NOT a religion! It is a cult of political, pseudo-religion-like conspirators, in denial of what tenants of faith they put their faith in! They are only sorry to be caught using civilians as human shields; NOT sorry for the act itself, nor for their hateful convictions which drive Islam. It is too late to deter Muslim demographics in 'EU-rabia', but the rest of the free world had better take measures NOW against being overwhelmed & devoured by Islam. Confirm the truth of Islam's objectives: Visit thereligionofpeace.com Goldstone, Noam Chomsky, etc. are self hating Jews. Isaiah warned that great destruction would come from within. Well there they are. Islam is notorious for revising history, for trying to revise the Torah which came long before Islam was invented! They claim that Ishmael was Abraham's beloved son instead of Yitzchak, when the rest of the world knows for a fact that Ishmael was a "Wild ass", a bastard from Abraham's hand servant who he sent away; while so called "Palestinians" are notorious for revisionism, for creating themselves as a "people" from sheer non-existence (where they should return to)! Islam is a curse upon the world! It is way past time to remove Obama the Muslim and to re-claim our country, America, for freedom lovers, not divisive Sharia law lovers who want to use our democratic laws to destroy us from within! Obama has made it illegal for CORRECT terminology, such as 'Muslim Terrorist' or 'Jihadist' to be used! See this video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-3X5hIFXYU

IT IS ISRAEL TODAY. IT IS ARABS TODAY. IT IS ... ? IT IS ... ? can you complate above, please ? by the way ; only people who are abusers afraid of others who are right.

I am wondering where is the funny PA ?!!!!!!!!!

Chomsky does not and never had advocated an academic boycott on Israel. All you haters here need to check your facts. Glen Beck isn't a good source for them by the way. And the principal here, haters, is not the content of what Chomsky has to say but the principal espoused by Voltaire, "I may disagree with what you say but I'll fight to the death to defend your right to say it." If you people can't understand that basic principal of freedom and democracy then I pray to God that there are more people in Israel than the average Ynet TBer who do. Otherwise the future is bleak

The writer is unaware of Chomsky's Record as a Supporter of terrorists and Holocaust Deniers. In defending Holocaust Denier Faurisson, MIT professor Noam Chomsky wrote: “I see no anti-Semitic implications in denial of the existence of gas chambers or even denial of the Holocaust. Nor would there be anti-Semitic implications, per se, in the claim that the Holocaust (whether one believes it took place or not) is being exploited, viciously so, by apologists for Israeli repression and violence. I see no hint of anti-Semitic implications in Faurisson's work." (cited on Wikipedia)

Letting Chomsky travel is not going to improve Israels image and as the world hates Israel anyway who cares what anybody thinks why make life easy for a man who is going to just do alot of Israel bashing anyway in his speech? I don't see why this should have any problems with the idea of free speech in the courts because the talk is being given in Rammalah. All thats being done in Israel the army who control the border who for unexplained reasons have delayed the man which theoretcially they are allowed to do. We all know its because of who he is that he was delayed but as long as the army don't say on the record it was for that reason they have done nothing wrong legally. This also has nothing to do with democracy. I am sick of people quoting the fact Israel is supposed to be a democracy but it does this. Democracy is about electing the politicians not about diplomacy or just trouble making by the army like this. I am sure Chomsky is delighted about this because it gives him something to write about in his next Israel bashing book and on his lectures. Why make things easy for the Chomskys of this world just because we are worried about what others think it won't change peoples feelings towards Israel.

you are such a fool

It's called "common sensed" which clearly does not exist in the mind of Boaz Okon. Hope we do it with the rest of their likes

This is nothing but a propaganda stunt! This article is just more leftist dribble assisting Chomsky in demonizing Israel! Why even print this crap?

The nature of Israel's racism remains unclear to me, since Chomsky happens to be a Jew. How can I be racist against my own race? The intellectual Chomsky is honest in his field of expertise only, which is linguistics. If only he concentrated on this, because he is quite a genius regarding linguistics. Check out his theories, awesome complicated. And that is exactly what amazes me; he seems to be a blinkered specialist, a person who you cannot fool in their special niche, but when it comes to anything different, well....he should leave it be.

While Boaz Okon bemourns his so-called law abiding, freedom loving state, most of us know that this is total rubbish. Our Stalinist professors, with support of our Liberal media and other radical elements are only intersted in their own views while silencing other opinions. I can not count how many times I have been censored over the years by our media villains, while not using any wording in violation of their terms of use. While it is fashionable to allow selfhating pseudo intuelectuals to spew their slander and hatred, anyone with selfrespect, is either demonized or ridiculed, by our modern day Facists, dressed up as freedom law abiding Liberal citizens. Very rarely now do I spend time reading the rubbish Ynet publishes on a daily basis, because in the end life is to short and precious, to allow their poison to ruin one's life. As history has shown this will pass to and our Liberals will end up in the history books as a painfull but short footnote in our history. In the end all the Chomsky's of the world are not worth the hassle to bother and in 20 years no-one will remember them. While Ynet is constantly demonizing the Haredi educational system, why is it OK that my tax money is spend on the breading grounds of Stalinist Professors at our Universities?

without accurate analysis, plenty of sentiment and no depth. Unconvincing.

its about time you stood up to those who seek your destruction.

Europe is going before our eyes and will be Islamisized within 20-25 years. Is this the kind of freedom that Boaz Okon wants for Israel? The US is expected to be bankrupt by 2020. Maybe that's what he wants. Political correctness is killing the west and is the outward manifestation of so called Liberality. http://www.ourchangingglobe.com/liberal-lemmings-and-the-lunatic-left/ Don't people like Boaz Okon realize that political correctness and liberality are being exploited by Islam. I recently moved from Tel Aviv where I couldn't stand the weak kneed and pathetic so called 'intellectuals' to Arad, and just spent a wonderful day with Israelis that don't believe in bending over and offering the other cheek. Surely somebody that wishes to bring about their own demise is clinically sick? Mike

to decide for ourselves who we want and whome we dont. i am free to invite to my home those i like and not those i dont like. i strive to keep out those who would spit in the tea i offer them, curse my cooking, tell my kids i'm an abusive rapist, etc. these people are entitled to their opinion. i just dont have to entertain them.

About two years ago, Britain formally announced that Moshe Feiglin is barred from entering the country. The reason they gave was inciting and controvercial statements he made against Palestinians. They said that "his presence is not contributing for the public", and the British embassy asserted that "the British government collects information on people who have demonsrated unacceptable behavior, and this may lead to a person being barred from entry". Is there a difference between the two cases? Not really. In both cases, we have a person expressing extremist opinions regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and who completely denies or ignores the arguments made by the other side. Actually, Britain has had an even weaker argument to bar Feiglin, since Feiglin only expressed his extremist opinions against the Palestinians, and not against the host country Britain. And yet, I do not recall Boaz Okon, Ariana Melamed, and the rest of our leftists recoiling in holy indignation when this announcement by Britain was made. I certainly do not recall them calling Britain a fascist country who blocks freedom of speech. And this, my friends, is yet another proof among many, of the incredible hypocrisy of the Israeli left.
