31. #8 What are you jabbering about?
Jake   (05.11.13)
The founder of your fake nation, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, spent the War years in Berlin, collaborating with Hitler in the destruction of the Jewish people... while still continuing to be recognized by the palestinian Arabs as leader of the Arab Higher Committee.

33. 12
anton ,   istanbul   (05.11.13)
so basicly you are saying state of israel can declare anyone she wants as persona non grata, even peacefull critics, scientist university students everyone one who dares to say something thats violates freedom of speech and principles of democracy, its a blackmail and presssure on those jews who disagrees with states policies aimed at axing their right to express opinion, either shut up or you dont get to visit israel right? and its against true democracy which you take credit for in every circumtances, which i find quite funny for you have to emphasize it over and over again, certainly you have got an urge for it cause deep down you might yourself know somthing is really wrong with the israeli democracy conception ther was somthing missing and you filled me in thanks...
34. Iran and Soviet Union were OK
steve ,   dallas USA   (05.11.13)
This guy visited Iran (after the Revolution) and the Soviet Union. His principles are selective and miracle of miracles, they happened to have selected Israel. A complete phony.
35. to n 33 If Chomsky declares a Boicott against Israel .....
(05.11.13)
Israel can declare a Boycott against him. It´s not about freedom of speach. Chomsky has deligitmized Israel, so Israel con do the same,
36. Chomsky
Cipora Julianna Kohn ,   Z   (05.11.13)
chomsky is a megalomaniac who has never seen a terrorist he did not like. it is an absolute shame that he took advantage of stephen hawking, who has been very sick for decades, for vile propaganda purposes.
37. Israel , do something
Fred ,   Petach tikva   (05.11.13)
Chomsky is like dozens of professors that Israeli universities employ preach the same anti Israel hatred. Firing these self haters would send a strong message that Israel has a a clear policy. "Israel is our land."
38. chomsky condemned Obama for killing Bin Laden
zionist forever   (05.11.13)
Chomsky is not just anti Israel he is anti anybody who wants to stop terror. The man loves terrorists, communists and just about everybody else the west considers to be a bad guy so its really not surprising he is trying to recruit high profile academics like Stephen Hawking his ranks. As long as Israel exists in anyway shape or form Chomsky will not be happy
39. The Apartheid Jewish state must be boycotted by...
Persian CAT   (05.11.13)
ALL peace loving people of the world.
40. To: No. 33
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.11.13)
Actually, Israel has declared far fewer individuals "personal non grata" than most countries. There are three: Jörg Haider, Noam Chomsky and Gunter Grass. It's not a question of criticism -- no one in Israel has any interest in or desire to stifle freedom of expression -- it is a matter of degree and method. By the way -- evidently you are unaware -- Turkey currently has around 216 people on its "persona non grata" list, nearly all of them the result of criticism of Turkey for refusing to acknowledge its responsibility for the Armenian genocide, the invasion of Cyprus in 1974, and the relentless persecution of the Kurds that continues to this day -- even as Kurds slowly wend their way on foot into Iraq). So, it would appear that Turkey is far more sensitive to free expression than is Israel -- to the Turks, freedom of expression is fine, as long as it is not used to criticize Turkey. And you consider yourselves a "democracy?" Well, here's a news flash: you're not.
41. Chomsky a "House Jew"
k ,   US   (05.11.13)
A cowardly piece of crap who loves the acceptance he feels in Europe and with all the anti-semites and anti-Israel pieces of crap in the world
42. Chomsky Serial Helper Holocaust Deniers
Zechariah   (05.11.13)
At first Chomsky defended Pol pot then collaborated with a Holocaust Denier writing a introduction defending his right to free speech.Racial Villification Laws not on Chomskys agenda.Lately he was in Gaza a Holocaust Denial State.Hawking could have come and criticised Treatment of Palestinians That Does Occur But also Urged Recognition of the Holocaust and Refual of Countries to Give Refuge to Jews from Nazi Occupied Europe .Would Chomsky had Written an introductory letter to Mein Kamf defending Nazi right to Free Speech. and Poison Minds and a Rally Inspiration for nazism.
43. chomsky
Joe Clark ,   Phoenix,AZ   (05.11.13)
Don't be to hard on chomsky, he is a leftie before all else, and that means mental dysfunction.
44. To: No. 39
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.11.13)
Aww, what's the matter little kitty cat? Still smarting because of the stunning blow Israel has dealt Iran in Teheran this past Tuesday? The Iranians never saw it coming and never knew the missiles were there. We blinded your radar and your missile detection systems. And scored three direct hits on (I) Iran's largest chemical weapons research, development and storage facility; (ii) Iran's largest missile development facility; and (iii) Iran's largest missile storage facility. In and out and you never even knew we were there. Bet Mahmood is soiling his nappies .... so .... it would appear that Israel is through waiting. We kicked Iran's ass in Lebanon, we kicked Iran's ass in Syria and we kicked Iran's ass in .... OH MY GOODNESS! .... Iran! Still think you're a match for Israel, Persian pussy?

BUILD BABY BUILD !!! ,   United States   (05.11.13)
Pretty sure Einstein,Jack London, Franz Kafka and Emil Zola would have boycotted Hawkins as well. He is well worth boycotting and spitting upon.
46. # 21 A, Belguim
BUILD BABY BUILD !!! ,   United States   (05.11.13)
He doesn't know who his father was, and is envious of all Jews.
47. # 33 Anton if that were true
BUILD BABY BUILD !!! ,   United States   (05.11.13)
Why are so many illegal refugees headed for Israel and NOT ONE Arab nation?? Explain that one a** Any Turk can't know much less explain true democracy, you're led by an Islamic nut job.
48. # 39 ALL peace loving people
BUILD BABY BUILD !!! ,   United States   (05.11.13)
would exclude every 'peaceful' muslim bashing other muslims brains out..... Peace loving people, my ass.
49. hawkings
PHILLIP M. SAHAGIAN ,   USA   (05.11.13)
Sure would have been a much better use of him, but that's it, he being used and cant exercise his own will anymore. feel bad for the guy
50. # 40 Sarah re: persona non grata,
BUILD BABY BUILD !!! ,   United States   (05.11.13)
add obama onto that list.
51. #46 I think he is more envious of Nim Chimpsky
A ,   Belgium   (05.11.13)
for being of higher intelligence than himself.
52. #39 Maybe the "Apartheid Jewish state" should begin
A ,   Belgium   (05.11.13)
by throwing out all the treasonous moslems collecting nice salaries in the "Apartheid Jewish" government. And if ever you come up with the name of a "peace loving" moslem country, please post it here and enlighten us all as to what it is. Iran doesn't count. Nor Syria. Or Egypt. Or Somalia. Or Sudan. Or Yemen. Or Iraq. How many more?
53. Noam Chomsky
Jerry ,   home   (05.11.13)
has already proven himself a cunning linguist in his dealings with the ayatollahs. He considers his support for academic boycott against Israel as means of supporting free speech and academic freedom. Pretty much like fighting for peace and f...ing for virginity. Yet I never heard of him ever criticising Article Seven of the Hamas "Charter" which call for genocide against all Jews.
54. # 2
DAVID FAKHERI ,   LOS ANGLES USA   (05.11.13)
Who needs them?
55. #39 cat
solomon ,   bklyn   (05.12.13)
Apartheid? Where arabs in Israel vote, are represented in government, go to the same hospitals as Jews to be treated by the same Jewish and arab doctors and nurses, etc. (Hamas wants to kill all the Jews, Abbas has said that the WB will be judenrein. Who is apartheid? Hint: it ain’t the Jews.) Facts win every time. Sorry.
56. #32 anton - you are right
solomon ,   bklyn   (05.12.13)
You are right. I misread Sarah's post #1 and continued with that erroneous thought. You also did not say Pals are peaceful. Please accept my apologies.
57. Anton #33
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (05.12.13)
If you are really sincere about democracy, human rights and justice before you try to teach Israelis about it please go and protest in front of Silivri Jail for Mustafa balbay, Ahmet Haberal and the other thousands of Turkish intellectuals, scientists, doctors and surgeons who have been incarcerated for 5 years with no apparent charges. While you have fire in your own house don't worry about Israel, go and put out your own more serious fire. And let me remind you that Israeli journalists like Amira Haas, Gideon Levy and many more who criticize Israel day in and day out are free to write unlike Turkey. Chomski is an American national. Every country has the right to choose who enters and who can not enter to their land.
