1. Stop giving this senile space on the news..
Leonello ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (05.28.10)
2. Yea, I bet they really gave that a lot of thought Noam
Dusty McClure ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (05.28.10)
3. Liberal/Leftist/Progressives/Marxist/Communists are not Jews
Period!   (05.28.10)
Chomsky has one religion and it isnt Judaism!
4. typical borderline/narcissist
Hen   (05.28.10)
Unable to face their own flaws, these type of mentally ill people always project their problems onto other. It doesn't mean they can't be geniuses in a field of endeavour (such as linguistics), but they're mentally ill with a serious personality disorder, woe to their spouse, parents or children who suffer the brunt of their abuse.
5. mentality of madness
Ben ,   Rockville   (05.28.10)
A good description of this Alzheimer stricken self hating Jew.
6. Dr. Chomsky u r no different than Nuturei Carta...
(05.28.10)
Shaking hands with murders of the Civilian Citizens of the State of Israel is NEVER a good thing!
7. La bete et la bete.
joe   (05.28.10)
From my vintage point of vue, I reached my own conclusion regarding this Chomsky. His complex is superiority.--- the "know-it-all type --- what Israelis call a " schvitzer", you know; expertise in Govt, Diplomacy, religion, military, education , human behavior --- A Pavlov, Livingstone, and Mme Currie , all in one.
8. Chomsky is very nice and true Israeli
Chris   (05.28.10)
9. Chomsky has one thing in common with his counterparts in...
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (05.28.10)
...Lebanon: the hate of the US and Israel and the drive to see Israel's annihilation. In the case of the Islamists, the drive is religiously generated. In the case of Chomsky, psychological resentment and anger found in his childhood...
10. He is where he belongs...
Ilan ,   Ariel   (05.28.10)
Chomsky is quite at home with Hizbolla and this in of itself justifies forbidding his entry into Israel.
11. what ?
eporue ,   europe   (05.28.10)
im not sure, if your interpretation makes any sense : "Israelis' actions are based on a persecution complex, meaning that aggression would not be an option again except out of a "mentality of madness" which rules many in Israel. " ... whatever.. if chomsky sees a "persecution complex", i would agree - and it seems, that its extensively used for political purposes... but for the whole picture, one also has to say, that arabs cause a lot of madness with their "megalomania complex"...
12. Exact Description of Zionist Characteristics
Al Mujahid   (05.28.10)
I couldn't agree more, professor Chomsky. Go on with your da'wah to make the Zionists realize their fallacious views and behaviour.
13. Not even leftists visit Hezbollah, yet Chomsky kisses butt
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (05.28.10)
The great Noam Chomsky shows how low he's sunk by kissing the boots of the Hezbollah oppressors. Did Chomsky mention anything about Hezbollah's racist policies? It's embracing of mysoginist doctrine? Did he ask them why Hezbollah violated international law by attacking across the Israeli border, killing several soldiers and kidnapping and then murdering several others? Of course not. Chomsky doesn't care about Hezbollah's despicable human rights record. Chomsky doesn't care that Hezbollah is a racist, hate-mongering movement based on religion fascism. Chomsky hates Israel, so he'll prostitute himself by getting into the bed of every enemy of Israel. Sadly, that what Chomsky has turned himself into - a cheap, spitefilled octogenarian whore with no principles other than his hatred.
14. Chumpsky
ben Ish   (05.28.10)
You hypocrite. First take the beam out of your own eye, then you can see the speck in your brothers eye. The reason this mental incompetent makes such a claim is specifically because HE is guilty of that which blames others. That is the reason one sees fault in others, because one recognizes that same fault in themselves. You may observe another persons actions but you cannot observe their motivations. You only know your own. Sadly, most do not even know this much. So to Mr. Chomsky, I say "You see such malignancy in Israel, NOT because of Israel, but because of YOURSELF. That is the source of the evil. Perhaps if you did not view the world through evil glasses, everything you look at would not look evil. The Jews have a nation of their own. Deal with it. Drink deep, and know that your words are nothing more than a cancer on the minds of men.
15. HOW CAN WE UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER WITHOUT TALKING ?
ATİLLA KARAGÖZOĞLU   (05.28.10)
16. #4 and #14 well said!!!!!!!!!
rachel ,   usa   (05.28.10)
17. Meeting with terrorists - he should be prosecuted
Zvi   (05.28.10)
18. Big Zero Linguist turned Psychiatrist
Mikael Duvduvani ,   Yokneam, Israel   (05.28.10)
I wish I too could be a doctor of words.....and then have people listen to my political views. This man is a big nobody....a Zero....A shelmiel and an embarrassment to the Jewish nation. He is a pure Woody Allen caricature. He truly lives in the circle of friends of Ahmedinijad and Nasrallah. You can always judge a man by who his friends are! This mans career is based solely on Israel bashing when his only credential is that he has a Jewish name and a degree in Language! That being said, I appreciate his warning to Hezbollah. Yes...we are crazy enough when pushed.
19. 'Hope he has good bodyguards from Mossad...
Michael Hess ,   Charlotte, NC   (05.28.10)
The state of Israel can simply no longer be trusted. I used to have hope for the people there, but I can count about a dozen who are not inflicted with total blanket Arab hatred. If there is anymore than that, they sure do not show up here..
20. Brian Cohen, the truth seems to incense you...
Michael Hess ,   Charlotte, NC   (05.28.10)
...and yet, you assail the truth teller instead of actually confronting the real, and very existential, problem. That's going to make the coming fall for you so very very hard. Good. Those of your ilk deserve everything you have so loudly and repeatedly asked for. The dreaded One State Solution(tm). Enjoy buddy! You wanted all the land, you got it, plus all of the the 5.3 million Arab Palestinians that go along with it. Heh heh... Too bad, so dad for you buddy.
21. Chomsky visits Hezbollah
DT ,   TA Israel   (05.28.10)
Worthy bedfellows - they deserve each other . One a purveyor (and teacher MIT)of hate the other a deliverer.
22. chomski : where are you lefties?
dr daniel mostrel ,   paris   (05.28.10)
all of you who shout a few days before for free speech why you don't shout now about this lonie senile? opinion is one thing ,treason and foolisness is other
23. useful idiot
Steve ,   USA   (05.28.10)
Irrelevance is the wage of a lifetime spent on the fringes. Whatever academic contributions made by this codger in his younger days have been undercut by the insane vitriol he spews to those for whom Jew hatred is an industry. His boot licking of some of the world's preeminent terrorists reveal his true agenda. What's next, a sleepover at Ahmadinijad's house?
24. What is Fadlallah saying to Chomsky in the pic?
Tim ,   Brighton   (05.28.10)
Fadlallah: Good on you Chomp you know the score. Stand up bow and now you kiss my ...se? Any better suggestions?
25. what most people dont know...
informed ,   world   (05.28.10)
the photograph accompanying this article shows fadlallah shaking chomsky's hand. what most people dont know is that according to fadlallah's religion, shia islam, because fadlallah allowed a jew (self hating or not) to touch his hand, fadlallah must now undergo an extensive ritual purification process to cleanse himself of jewish/infidel impurities that were transfered to him by touching an "unclean" jew... in the picture chomsky is grinning with pleasure from the handshake...i wonder if he knows that the moment he grasped fadlallah's hand, fadlallah considered himself soiled and in need of ritual purification. but then again, how could chomsky know? he isnt an expert in islam (or politics or the arab israeli conflict for that matter)...he is merely a linguist...why the world thinks that that gives him the right to spew filth about israel, is beyond me...
26. If Ch. does not feel persecuted by Hamas
Noa   (05.28.10)
then he is taking some very strong medicine and is feeling comfortably numb!
27. :: Michael Hess - #20
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (05.28.10)
Lets not forget about the 8.3m cardholding Palestinians that live in diaspora who could return under a One State solution. :)
28. Here's Michael Hess again who spends
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (05.28.10)
most of his time (together with partner Kandy Ringer) writing, emailing and telephoning each and every congressman in the USA in a "heroic" bid to turn each and every member of congress against that "horrible zionist entity -- Israel" and, what did Michael and Kandy achieve? Well, recently Congress voted 410-4 in favour of supplying Israel with the American produced short-range defence system. And who were those four congressmen who voted against? Why all of them were influenced by the mighty efforts of the "Kandy and Michael" team. Cogratulations, Guys, you're doing real well now. Don't get discouraged. You affected four out of 414. If you work at it 24 hours per day, don't pay attention to the melons and squash on your hobby farm and, most of all, stop taking the time to post on Ynet, why, you'll achieve even more, another vote or two, in the years to come. Keep up the good work, Michael and a ringing zinging "Hello" to Kandy. We're all pulling for you, now.
29. Who started that war?
Eric ,   Israel   (05.28.10)
As far as I know, Hizbullah started the 2006 Lebanon War, not Israel. They fired the first shot, not Israel. Can we then assume that they will start the next one as well? I forget - exactly what does Hizbullah want from us?
30. Talking about complexes...
Carsten Schmidt ,   Germany   (05.28.10)
... it appears that it is actually Chomsky who needs therapy. This guy is meanwhile completely OTT and makes a fool of himself.
