Palestine - hands up those who hate Jews : Comments

By David Singer, published 7/12/2012

These 138 States were effectively signing the eviction notices for 600000 Jews who have been legally living in these areas for up to 40 years pursuant to the rights conferred on the Jewish People.

Anyone with half a brain in their head will refute what Chomsky has to say

He has been shown time and time again that he is wrong. He is a far Left extremist agitator, who enjoys the 'fame' that people bring him

When people like David Duke admire him, it should sound alarm bells in your head.

Chomsky's name has been associated with the denial of one genocide and the minimization of another.

Chomsky knows the Holocaust took place, and he has repeatedly called it "the most fantastic outburst of collective insanity in human history." Nevertheless, Chomsky did in fact lend his reputation to the deniers of the Holocaust and participated directly in downplaying another genocide, the Cambodian massacres of 1975-78. While it is true that Chomsky himself never claimed that the Holocaust never happened, he did sign a petition in defense of Robert Faurisson, a Holocaust denier.

An alternative view:

According to the Arts and Humanities Citation Index in 1992, Chomsky was cited as a source more often than any other living scholar from 1980 to 1992, and was the eighth most cited source overall.[14][15][16][17] He has been described as a prominent cultural figure, and he was voted the "world's top public intellectual" in a 2005 poll.[18][19].

Noam Chomsky is a recipient of the Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award of the American Psychological Association, the Kyoto Prize in Basic Sciences, the Helmholtz Medal, the Dorothy Eldridge Peacemaker Award, the Ben Franklin Medal in Computer and Cognitive Science, numerous honorary fellowships and degrees and many other honors. His significant published works in the field of linguistics include Current Issues in Linguistic Theory (1964), The Sound Pattern of English (with Morris Halle, 1968), Language and Mind (1972), Studies on Semantics in Generative Grammar (1972), The Logical Structure of Linguistic Theory (1975), andKnowledge of Language (1986).

But Zionists don't like him.

SF,

"...he did sign a petition in defense of Robert Faurisson, a Holocaust denier"

So what? You've probably missed the point entirely, wasn't Chomsky defending the right to
free speech?

I'd hardly say that agreeing with a Holocaust denier by signing a petition has anything to do with free speech.

If what I read here is what passes as free speech then I am against it.

I am truly appalled by the racism and antisemitism I read here.

The Arab nations are represented by 21 separate countries. There is only one Jewish nation, a tiny country, Israel. It is but 73% Jewish, next Muslim, other religions make up the rest. One in four persons is not Jewish. Where is such a ratio of peoples in other parts of the world?

The combined territories of Arab countries is 650 fold greater than Israel. Arab population is 50 fold greater than Israel. Arab states combined 13,486,861 sq mls., Israel 20,770 sq mls. We have stations larger than Israel.

Arab states are effectively Judenfrei.

The desire for Israel's collapse has nothing to do with conflict.

Most of the Arab states are artificial, having been drawn up with paper and pencil by colonial interests. This witnessed disparate groups being forced to live with each other. There has been more bloodshed and death between, and within Arab states, than has occurred between these states and Israel. None have suggested that these Arab states be dismantled. When bloodshed erupts, there is nary a sigh from these very same people screaming against Israel.

Whatever arguments put forward against Israel, it is apparent that these writers want to see the end of Israel's existence. In other words, the entire territory, 13,507,631 sq mls, Judenfrei, Why?

Hitler could not have argued more strongly. Remember the photograph of the Grand Mulfti and Hitler greeting each other. When people adopt the same principle as held by the Nazis, it is difficult not to see them as fellow-travelers. People readily identify socialists, conservatives and utopian, etc. by the beliefs/principles they promote.

Like all countries, Israel is not perfect and is open to criticism, but the hatred vented against Israel is suggestive of a different agenda.

Like Nazism, lies are told, slogans are hurled ... repeatedly, ad nauseum. Ah … Goebbels! There is no effort to verify facts.

How can people unquestionably accept Palestinian propaganda when there is such a wealth of information accessible through the internet? Only those who already have some prejudice … and find a source to support this. Or are they extremely gullible looking for a cause?
