Progressives (Liberals)

In Noam Chomsky's books one theme is constant: his portrayal of the state of Israel as the focus of evil in the Middle East, a malevolent outlaw whose only redeeming feature is the readiness of its own left-wing intelligentsia to expose its horrifying depravity.

I don't pay much attention to either one. But I do object to people making false accusations against the US. And if I'm remembering correctly, Chomsky made a bunch of false accusations about Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

“The Japanese had very real grievances, and the United States had quite a significant share of responsibility in those grievances back in 1941. On December 8, we struck back quite blindly, quite unthinkingly, and I'm not at all sure in retrospect that the world is any the better for it.”

So he's a neonazi too.

I'm not surprised. Most progressives are.

"In 1979, Robert Faurisson, a French professor, wrote a book claiming that the Nazis did not have gas chambers, did not attempt a genocide of Jews (or any other groups), and that the "myth" of the gas chambers had been put forth by Zionist swindlers for the benefit of the state of Israel"

"I see no anti-Semitic implications in denial of the existence of gas chambers or even denial of the Holocaust. I see no hint of anti-Semitic implications in Faurisson's work" (Chomsky)

Chomsky's preface to Faurisson 's book : "Let me add a final remark about Faurisson's alleged "anti-Semitism:… is it true that Faurisson is an anti-Semite or a neo-Nazi? I find no evidence to support either conclusion....As far as I can determine, he is a relatively apolitical liberal of some sort."

[He] was defended by US-Americans as Faurisson's right to express and publish his opinions on the grounds that freedom of speech.

He campaigned for Bernie. Said Bernie’s policies were the only sensible ones.

“Samantha Power, in an otherwise sympathetic review of Hegemony or Survival (New York Times Book Review, January 2004), writes: "For Chomsky, the world is divided into oppressor and oppressed. America, the prime oppressor, can do no right, while the sins of those categorized as oppressed receive scant mention."

Noam Chomsky's writings contain some striking remarks about his fellow Jews. In a discussion of race and IQ, he asserted that it "might conceivably be the case" that "Jews have a genetically determined tendency toward usury and domination"

Asked why his books were ignored in the American Jewish media, he responded: "The Jewish community here is deeply totalitarian. They do not want democracy, they do not want freedom" (Shmate: A Journal of Progressive Jewish Thought, Summer 1988).

“I think they’re [Bernie or Busters] making a bad mistake.”

“There are two issues,” he said. “One is a kind of moral issue: do you vote against the greater evil if you don’t happen to like the other candidate? The answer to that is yes. If you have any moral understanding, you want to keep the greater evil out."

“Second is a factual question: how do Trump and Clinton compare? I think they’re very different. I didn’t like Clinton at all, but her positions are much better than Trump’s on every issue I can think of.”

To paraphase, Bernie or Busters are immoral.

Noam Chomsky has a grave message for liberal voters who refused to vote to stop Donald Trump by selecting Hillary Clinton...Chomsky declared the Republican party “the most dangerous organisation in world history.”

In scale [the WTC terrorist attack] may not reach the level of many others, for example, Clintons bombing of the Sudan with no credible pretext, destroying half its pharmaceutical supplies and killing unknown numbers of people (no one knows, because the US blocked an inquiry at the UN and no one cares to pursue it).
