I've seen mr Chomsky in a videoconference in my college here, in Portugal, and I liked it a lot.
All the best

Funny! Excellent comeback. Gotta love free speech and debate.
Cheers, mate

After anticonsumer mysteriously left a little over a year ago you have really satisfied a lot of people's desire to hear a sound argument.

Thanks for posting the things you do!

That last comment was simply rediculous. Chomsky suited for a different country? How about the rulers aren't suited for this country!

Sorry, after looking at your page here I did not realize the manlove you have for this moron. My deepest apologies. Take my statement at face value--he is an Ameica-hating a-hole who would be better suited to live in Switzerland or France, that's all.

Wow! Thanks for putting these up! All is highly educational, enlightening, and gives much insight into affairs today and in the past (and even in some respects, the future). Chomsky-articles, -books, -debates, and -speeches are perhaps the highest in terms of scholarly literature involving current news, issues, and grievances -- relevant to all terms of history since the Industrial Revolution. Yet some people dismiss his arguments as biased...alas they simply don't understand what it means to be human! (anymore). But people (like you) who are serious can rise above that. Again, thank you very much for posting these and putting up this channel in general.

Very important channel. I didn´t realize how many fans of this great thinker of our times.
Many thks for your work.Keep going.

The Chomsky/Foucault debate is now in print in a book called The Chomsky-Foucault Debate: On Human Nature.

The inference you made of Chomsky's position on the Jews is a non-sequitur. When he talks about the strong being violent, he is talking about the State system, and not about the Jewish people. He's critique of Israeli state policies is along the same line, it's a critique of the corporate-state system in Israel AND CRUCIALLY the US that determines these policies. I would suggest you look at it from that perspective.

For what is worth, I saw Norman Finkelstein three weeks ago and he made a point that until 1967, the only two US intellectuals that publicly identifies themselves as Zionists were Hannah Arendt and Noam Chomsky. Chomsky being in favor of a bi-national state with Jewish-Arab cooperation.

As far as talking about the violence of the victims or the "official enemies", two points:

One, the mainstream doctrinal managers already does it, and to keep talking about it is just gratuitous. Second, it's a moral truism that we are responsible for what we do, and what we can affect. Since these crimes he talks about are direct results of UNITED STATES policies, that's what he concentrates on. There's nothing sweeping about his comments. He doesn't talk about Jews and Jewishness, as far as I know, but about power and geopolitics.

The citation may be in a book on your desk, it does no good to keep it there. It can only be relevant if you provide it here so people can evaluate it for themselves.
