31. bows before Arab in picture
Larry ,   laboy45@gmail.com   (05.28.10)
I liked the picture of Chomsky bowing, I believe it describes his personality. He bows to the goyim and curses the Jews. Now I understand the definition of a Schmuck. thank you Ynet
32. CHOMSKY, THE UNREPENTING FOOL!

33. I am waiting and waiting, and waiting
Anna ,   Montreal, Canada   (05.28.10)
When Mr. Chomsky will start analyze the other side of the conflict. It seems like he has a great pleasure of scrutinizing everything what has been done by Israel, but never touches the subject of Islam influence in the ME and farther, etc. This one-sided view can't be objective. It is taken out of the full picture and can't be declared philosophical "errors" and strategic misdeeds of the Israeli policy makers.
34. Are we backed against a wall?
Genuine Moshe   (05.28.10)
What does this Chomsky guy know about Israel? I must say he knows what he reads in the (not-so-objective) news. Where is the critical thinking of the distinguished linguist he likes to think of himself? So much for his reputation.
35. Arthritis Brain
Albert   (05.28.10)
There is little secret about Chumpsky. His brain was struck with Arthritis long time ago. It is a rare disease. He needs our full sympathy.
36. "not gainst jews and judiasm" stop with taqiyya please!!!
ygalg ,   israel   (05.28.10)
Islam exactly about attacking and racketeering other religions and religious groups particularly Jews and Christians it's written in koran!!!
37. proof we were right to to deny entry now stop giving him pre
ralph   (05.28.10)
press time. he is no better or different than any other raving lunatic.
38. #19 so you went to Israel and talked to everyone to see how
rachel ,   usa   (05.28.10)
they feel?.......you are such a racist that its eating you in and out .....
39. ATİLLA KARAGÖZOĞLU #15 we do understand
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (05.28.10)
That's where idiots like you get it wrong. It's not a lack of understanding, we do understand all too well. Hizbollah, Hamas, Syria, PA, the rest of the Arabs have one loud and clear message - their goal is genocide. We heard it and believe it. Imagine that - after the last two bit fascist stated the same goals we learned.
40. #27 would that include the jews which I am one of? .....

41. the biggest mistake
roli ,   miami beach, USA   (05.28.10)
that Jewish and other leftists in the US made during the 80's was to cast Noam Chomsky as an authority on human rights. What jail cell did he sit in, and what hunger strike did he suffer? When it comes to actually making a difference in peoples lives, on a large scale, the moderate right has been in the lead since WW2. It tore down the wall in Berlin, and it maintains a hot iron on the feet of regimes that would break down our decent American doors and leave Israel like a child adopted and then abandoned on the street full of offenders where she lives. On my bookshelf I see two books beside one another: "Peace Kills" by PJ O'Rourke and the other "Imperial Ambitions" by Chomsky. The former is full humour including playful praise for Israeli's, while the latter is full of lies and conceit. Chomsky does not speak like a normal person, Normal people cannot paraphrase Stalin with psychiatry and maintain syntax in English.
42. Chomsky is absolutely right
Mikesailor ,   Miami, FL   (05.28.10)
How many times have I heard the same old refrain, "The world is against us because we are Jews?" And that it matters not what actions are taken because ...'the world hates us anyway". What is your definition of a 'persecutiion complex'? The world, as a whole, does not care whether you are Jewish, Muslim, Christian , white , black, green or blue. It cares far more about what you do rather than who you are. Yet, you absolve yourselves of all responsibilty for 'what you do' by claiming that criticism of your actions are merely because you are Jews. That is intellectual and moral dishonesty of the highest degree.
43. This shows him for the hateful kook he is
Michael Steiner ,   Bahrain   (05.28.10)
Regardless of how venehemently one disagrees with many Israel's actions (as I do) or even impugns the basis/legitimacy of Israel's establishment, communing with leaders and members of a terrorist group is crossing the line. 7izballah is not one of those "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter" type of outfits; it is a group that routinely used to and still does wantonly kill civilians. Individuals with a warped mindset a la 7omsky would have gone break bread with Hitler (Y"ShU). As such, they abdicate all pretense of peacemaking and should be of interest to no-one except the security services on his arrival back in America.
44. #42 when you've been around
roli ,   miami beach, USA   (05.28.10)
as long as Jews have, the undeniable advantage that you have over other's is a collective memory of triumphs and defeats. There are always jealous and greedy individuals and movements that will only reinforce self criticism in order to inspire self hatred. When their tactics are successful the result is iconoclastic and dangerous opposition from people like Chomsky. You may love him if you believe in the Maoist doctrine of corrupting the west from within. He's your sycophant, not ours.
45. Pretty sure there's a reason for the "persecution complex"
William ,   Israel   (05.28.10)
Chomsky, who pretends to be an academic, fails to admit even the most basic of facts that even some Arabs have come to admit. Israel has been attacked since its beginnings and the goal, as outlined BY the Arab League, was complete genocidal annihilation of the Jewish State and its people. That's pretty serious stuff, and it seems only Arabs and a few of their apologists believe it was "just a joke". Until Arabs and their Leftists refrain from wanting our destruction, we'll stay with the mentality that ensures our survival, something no other group has had to deal with on par. However, Chomsky, you're right in one thing - back us up against the wall, and there will be hell to pay!
46. I'm curious when Chomsky will meet with A-jad and Taliban
William ,   Israel   (05.28.10)
in order to promote the mis-givings if Western society and the wholesomeness of jihad. Though, it might not be soon, considering he isn't dumb enough to bite the hand that feeds him - MIT and the US military industrial complex that pays 80% of the bills there.
47. Always said the final battle between ideologies, not countri
William ,   Israel   (05.28.10)
In the end, it seems we see people taking signs in a future major battle. Those who love freedom and are nationalists, and those who love despots and worship collective-grouping ideologies like Socialism or Islamism. The Leftists support (and always have) major despotic regimes and their violent oppression under the guise of freedom, yet no freedom ever came from the countries or movements they have supported - from Soviet Russia, to Venezuela, to Burma. In the end, Israel is too much like a Western-freedom mentality to exist in the harsh, tribal, one-ruler by force mentality of the Middle East per the beliefs of Arabs and Leftists everywhere.
48. #19 - you never "had hope" for Israel
William ,   Israel   (05.28.10)
Since you picked up a pen, you produced nothing but racist venom. There are plenty of people who followed your writings and its been nothing more than self-serving tirades. Now you try to cover it up with lies like "I did have hope for the people of Israel"....kind of like a white-supremacist saying "I have a friend or two that is black".
49. #27 - could but won't be...returning, that is
William ,   Israel   (05.28.10)
A strong doubt, except in your mind, that the door will ever be opened to those "Palestinians" attempting to return. Maybe to Jordan, but definitely not to Israel.
50. Rather worse than persecution complex
Jin ,   Brisbane, Australia   (05.29.10)
The true diagnosis is even sadder with a worse prognosis - malignant narcissism.
51. Look -He is doing the Obama bow!
(05.29.10)
52. His movement is against the Zionists but not against Jews
Alan ,   SA   (05.29.10)
Tell it to idiots!
