Noam Chomsky interviewed on Israeli TV
War in Context
… with attention to the unseen
“Leading sectors, including the government, are in a mood of paranoia and irrationality which is harming [Israel] very seriously.”
WOW! What a remarkable and wonderful interview. A great opportunity to see and hear Noam not as a lecturer but as himself relaxed and brilliant in dealing with a clever interviewer and her shotgun questioning attempts to shift his responses to her advantage.
I feel privileged to have had the opportunity( as the interviewer must have also) to witness such an occasion. His presence exceeds his brilliant reputation.
I agree with you Bill. Noam Chomsky is truely a remarkable man. Time and again the poor interviewer tried to derail his train of thought. To no effect whatsoever.
And he is very convincing in his argument: True friends of Israel will not and should not support illegal actions, neither should they yield to the collective paranoia behind so many of Israel’s transgressions
