		<description>I am going from memory. So, checking my brain solely, i have never come across condemnation of the first tsunami in any of chomsky&#039;s books.
The first tsunami of 47-49 and preparation for it from &#039;22-46 being by far the greatest crime than any later waves and ripples of &#039;jewish&#039; crimes against pal&#039;ns.

He, as so many &#039;jews&#039;, by dwelling on waves and ripples of &#039;jewish&#039; crimes only, and never working on solution-  and actually condemning some cures for the illls- are as the persian saw says, Lke a man who plows and plows and never sows.
In other words, they approbate theft of land and terrorist acts by the &#039;jews&#039; and at the same time pretend that they are for a twostate solution. This, means that they want to reward war criminals. They shld actually be prosecuted- dead and living.
Rewarding these criminals cannot lead to any good. It may prod others in their wish to expel and kill other indigenes.
tnx</description>

		<description>Distinguished Prof. Noam Chomsky - yes, he indeed taught me how to think. I owe my activism to my teacher, from whom, as a naive green student of EECS, I learnt the craftsmanship of empire. And when I acquired a singing voice of my own, the first thing I did, was to apply my composition to my own teacher:

Excerpt:

humanbeingsfirst.blogspot.com/2007/03/endless-red-herrings.html

&quot;First let me genuinely once again acknowledge the debt of gratitude that I have for you being my teacher most of my adult life. We have a saying in Urdu, loosely translated, it says - &#039;the cat is the auntie of the lion&#039;. It means the cat taught everything to the lion, except to climb the tree. Obviously to save its own skin. In our culture, as well as I am sure in other cultures, we often refer to experts and teachers and other specialists who hold things back from their students and under-studies, with similar phrases. Such a phrase, is entirely unjust for you. You have indeed never held anything back as far as teaching your mind to anyone and everyone who has wanted to learn. And for this, I am most grateful. And to some tiny extent, I am applying the skills learnt from you, to attempt to disarm you, and other Zionists like you, intellectually speaking. I am not an intellectual, nor an erudite scholar, but a mere ordinary person who is now a minor social worker [..] and a small time grass-roots justice activist. To the extent I succeed in checking you, it must surely make you happy that you taught well. To the extent I fail, it is my own shortcomings and a limitation of my own small mind.&quot;
 
 
And that &quot;small[ish] mind&quot; dares to note the following conundruem: Noam Chomsky also advocated this: &quot;In swing states vote Obama without illusions&quot;

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNpNzDoH1II

Whereas, an ordinary plebeian, mind you not &quot;arguably the most important intellectual alive&quot;, advocated the following before it was fait accompli, before it became irreversibly ex post facto truth open for narration by all and sundry:

Not-Voting is a &#039;YES&#039; vote to Reject a Corrupt System which thrives on the facade of Elections and Democracy!

humanbeingsfirst.blogspot.com/2008/10/not-voting-is-yes-vote-to-reject-system.html

And the &#039;untermensch&#039; plebeian, along with a handful of other plebes, also perceptively stated the obvious before it was apparently obvious to the voice of moral-activism, Noam Chomsky: 

Mr. Obama – The Post Modern Coup:

print-humanbeingsfirst.blogspot.com/2008/11/mr-obama-thepostmoderncoup-heather.html
 
 
So, what a remarkable discovery to make ex post facto, for the &#039;arguably most important intellectual alive&#039;, that “There is basically no significant change ...&quot;

I am rather puzzled by Prof. Noam Chomsky. I do not know what to make of his life of dissent, one which boldly hectors power, while expounding its axioms. I have deconstructed a lot of Chomsky-speak which can be found at Project Humanbeingsfirst.org

The only sensible conclusion I can reach, is to be forensic in one&#039;s acceptance of another&#039;s speech. That palpable truism applies as much to accepting anything from any priest, as to Noam Chomsky, and as to anyone else, including to accepting anything on faith from this plebeian scribe.

One may not give up one&#039;s own judgement just because of priesthood and sainthood of the leading voices which fabricate and mold opinions by virtue of their name. Sometimes they are right, sometimes they are wrong, and sometimes they calculatingly tell lies, half-truth, and remain part of a complex Hegelian Dialectic serving the very interests they purport to be against. The responsibility of the intellectual, and its flock, was noted on the 40th anniversary of Noam Chomsky&#039;s famous treatise on the truth-telling moral responsibility of the intellectual:

humanbeingsfirst.blogspot.com/2007/03/responsibility-of-intellectuals-redux.html

Truth-telling is not one blanket statement, nor an everlasting certificate for a previous truth-telling, it&#039;s test is ongoing, daily, constant, just like the fabled Jewish moralist continually remind their flock. And if I&#039;d be pemitted to use that fantastic diction in this context as well despite it being for a very different one, here is that wisdom in full bloom:

&quot;Although the Holocaust inflicted horrible injustice upon us, it did not grant us certificate of everlasting righteousness. The murderers where amoral; the victims were not made moral. To be moral you must behave ethically. The test of that is daily and constant.&quot; 

Many of us ordinary mortals probably fail that test, if not every day, then surely on some days. Why give a blank check to the intellectual?


Thank you.

		<description>Yeah AZ, Richard Perle is quite impressive also and I can&#039;t begin to tell you how gaga everyone around here is about Thomas Freedman. Where would we be without celebrities and media gurus? That would surely be a dangerous state of affairs for the establishment if we all thought for ourselves. Oh and I&#039;m glad I&#039;m with the A crowd and not the B crowd, their accent is sooo uncouth. I gotta go there&#039;s my favorite NPR program on you know.</description>

		<description>Noam Chomsy: &quot;A man for all seasons.&quot;

Hey, take it EZ on &#039;Ol man Chomsky. I met Noam Chomsky doing R&amp;R in Paris long ago (1975) after returning from combat as a fighter pilot in Vietnam disillusioned about the massacre of some 3.7m Vietnamese, Laotions and Cambodian&#039;s, and he taught me more about human self actualization and  analyzing the psychological profiles of hoodlums like Richard Nixon, Henry Kissinger, Elliot Abrams, Richard Negroponte, Richard Perle and Robert McNamara. I considered him the Jewish Ghandi long after we parted to never meet or speak again.

With the death of Edward Said, the world lost a great philosopher and peacemaker too (though he never had a chance to do his stuff from a position of power) - but, it you read his books, you realize what a decent human being he truly was also.

When Choam dies I do not see who will replace him either.

		<description>Of the overwhelming evidence which contradicted the official explanation that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone gunman who murdered President John F Kennedy in 1963, Noam Chomsky said:

		<description>Chomsky is for a nonavailable two state solution and negates the right of the actually-expeled-people&#039;s chidldren to live in ex-palestina. 
Only people who were one year old in &#039;46 and which are now 63+ yrs old wld have the ROR. Does one need to say more? tnx</description>

		<description>Chomsky lost all credibility when he joined the coverup of Israeli (Mossad) involvement in orchestrating 9/11.....rigging the Twin Towers for demolition.  Chomsky did this by being dismissive of the overwhelming evidence of 9/11 inside job and claiming that we may never have answers--thus, we should just move on.

Chomsky occurs to me as a very cunning at distracting from the root causes--drawing focus to peripheral problems, yet keeping the attention from the real evildoers of the earth.

		<description>Tariq Ali and Noam Chomsky speak in London on the Israel-Palestine question. I think Tariq’s suggestions are eminently sensible, whereas once again Chomsky’s analysis leaves me underwhelmed. I don’t think he has anything of value to contribute to this debate any more. Worse, he is telling Palestinians that UNGAR 194 is no longer useful and that they should forgo the right of return. Curiously, he still continues to insist that Israel is merely a pawn in the belligerent US designs against Iran. I also found it disingenuous that while he has remained consistent in his opposition to BDS, his argument hasn’t. While in the past he would insist that everything Israel does was at the behest of the US, hence its the imperial patron that needs to be boycotted, now he says public opinion is not ready for it.
