- Noam Chomsky talks with Professor John Haas about UN Security Council Resolution 242 regarding Israel's annexation and occupation of Palestine. Accuses Israel of starving, harassing and murdering Palestinians while US supports Israel with policy decisions. War crime probes by the International Court of Justice and more.
Chomsky explains how US vetoes of resolutions that oppose their policy, as well as US military aid to Israel, have prevented a diplomatic solution.
Chomsky also critiques Israel's narrative of being a defensive and reactive force, and suggests ways to protest US policy towards Israel, such as an anti-apartheid struggle and the possibility of an international criminal court war crimes probe into the 2014 assault on Gaza.

One of the few people who speaks the truth to Israel (and the US) oppression of the Palestinians and NOT be accused of being anti-semitic. I refused to be subject that gaslighting any longer!!!
We don’t need this man
Israel is supposed to present the incident to the Security Council and the relevant international organizations... etc. and a decision is taken. For example, every country is obligated to hand over members of Hamas because the leaders are not in Palestine in the first place, Israel barbaric behavior is unacceptable. It cannot be a state and act like a terrorist militia. Because the terrorist militia does not have an entity like the state and it can be held accountable. Simply put, Israel opponent is a terrorist militia, but the Palestinians who were killed their opponent is the State of Israel.
@@haifaitthat is true. we don't need his opinion either, lol
@@haifait Respectfully, the oppression of Palestine has gone on far to long. I think we need everyone we can get at this point.
Don't worry, Zionist call him anti-semitic allll the time. It's hilarious
I'm guessing Chomsky has never been awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
He should be.
@@gary100dm Imo his contribution is beyond any national boundary. In case humanity makes it through this century, it should give him a planetary/ species award.
lol, there is a video of Chomsky laying out how every president since WW2 could be found guilty of war crimes. Must watch.
that's because he dribbles shit and thinks that the USA is the only bad actor on the world stage.
The conscience of the world. Long live Noam!
Great comment.
He’s an Epstein boy so maybe just keep it at his foreign policy. Leave the morals out of it
oh, please. He's a denier of the Cambodian genocide and the genocide in the former Yugoslavia. He is loathed in Eastern Europe and parrots Putin's talking points on Ukraine. You are misinformed.
@@Conn30Mtenor LOL. Can you read? If you could you would not have read any of that in Chomsky.🤣
@@Conn30Mtenor Obviously you've never listened to Noam at all.
man this guy is so spot on. legend thinker. special human.
I've read him for 30 years. What he says will happen, happens. lol
He's duplicitous though. He never addresses the real reason why the US is such an enthusiastic cheerleader of Israel: the Lobby. He deflects it by putting the blame on the alleged "oil lobby," which is a nothing compared to the real Lobby and actually has no interest in stirring up conflicts and wars in the Middle East.
I want to thank Professor Noam Chomsky to have the courage to say what is and to push us to see what is.
Well put 🙂👍.
Thank you all for the comments. Much appreciated. The interview took place in March 2018.
This man is! ❤
a turd?
@@TimothyNeal-z2j stop projecting your father on him
Propaganda works so well, I thought this was such a complexed issue that it was beyond my comprehension. It seems pretty clear to me that this story is taught in a way that we don’t want to question anything. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing”
It's actually a very one sided issue, not nuanced at all, and it's the opposite of what mainstream Western media paints it as. They are mixing the oppressors with the oppressed.
An honorable man... a great man... an honest man... an educated man... a man of good character...
You forgot to include a naive man…a collectivist man…a socialist man…a useful fool for radical Muslims man.
@@dewilderdbetter Blah, blah. 🤸♀
Another great interview professor I thank you for sharing this conversation
Many thanks!!!
Professor Chomsky says it the way it is. He sees through the smoke which the frenemies produce, and lays it on the table.
Noam is my intellectual father. I got more out of one book of his than in all my college education.
YES!
I've started collecting his written work. Haven't yet had a chance to read it all, but I feel like it's important for me to do it. Try to give myself some balance and understanding to my education so far.
What a great mind he has and much knowledge to impart. A real light in the dark.
Just wait until you get to the parts where he denies the Cambodian and Bosnian genocides.
He's not a historian. He's made too many mistakes in the name of his political allegiances.
Go slow reading him, it can be very heavy for the heart
Lol sorry your brain is made of mush
Professor Noam Chomsky is a legend and with wisdom that few have the depth and width of knowledge in many aspects that affect humanity and he can analyse and his analysis proves to be right and valid for many years later .. but politicians and various lobbyists who benefit from the prevailing policies especially when it relates to the rights of the Palestinians.
Professor Noam Chomsky is a legend and he is a man of humane conscience, morality, truth and courage to face any consequences. Thanks so much for your wisdom and knowledge that you are leaving for the generations to come.
Not surprisingly, this is the best explanation of the situation.
a candid wise man
Always the voice of reason.
So is the devil.
@@wingocamper8090 You are comparing a fictional being that lives underground to a noted intellectual? Am I supposed to take this seriously?
I was in a large conference at Boston University when we celebrated UN’s resolution at 1976 with Ed Saeed, Chomsky, etc. The resolution called for a two state solution and a stop to building new settlements in The occupied Israel.
Abolish veto privileges in the UN and see half of global conflicts disappear in no time.
One can dream…
where is professor chomsky nowadays , wish him health and would love to hear his views.
afaik he got a stroke and has trouble speaking
Y
Thanks, for a great interview
I'll wait for Noam Chomsky 4K.
Haha literally.
And a year later it only got an order of magnitude worse...
2:50
I get the impression that if I were President and didn't do the usual American veto of the UN Security Council resolution on Israel I would somehow get shot in the head.
Correct
brilliant interview
Thank you!
Noam Chomsky is a righteous man!
Amazing.
The wisdom of this man....
Outstanding!!
I would love to know what books he has in his library. If I ever knew I'd probably go bankrupt buying all of them, but oh man, what a treat.
I totally get that. i just want to learn from this man. wish he was my teacher.
One of his books, Manufacturing Consent, is a deep dive into the process of acheiving acceptance of socio-economic and political change through 'manufactured consent' as the title implies. It is also a documentary on TH-cam if you prefer to watch. The TH-cam video also incorporates a bio of Noam's activism and interviews throughout his career.
The book is a bit of a heavy read at times and the documentary smoothens that out.
I encourage you to read/watch.
I have often wondered myself. One way is to look at the works cited in his books, like "Towards A New Cold War. " He also examines declassified State Department documents.
Important context.
A living legend!!
Tesekkurler 🇹🇷🌷
Noam Chomsky is a prophet 😮
thank you
I wish everyone would watch dis and would love to see him on 60 minutes for American would know what is really going on over there and why these people can't get along
The Palestinians are being unmercifully massacred. They have nowhere to run. November 7, 2023
Aug 21, 2024! Still the same. Actually, worse!!!!
Love him ❤
Nothing but respect for this guy.
One person getting hurt over this is too much. They need to work out a peace deal. It is 2023. Almost 2024. Ask Bard how to fix it and the leaders need to do what Bard says.
The Bard (Noam) knows how to fix it and he has taught them and us well. They do not want to fix it. That leaves us.
Reading this end of November 2023, highly instructive. I need to learn review and understand the history of what really happened . Recall that the young Chomsky entertained the idea of joining a communal kibutz and later required police protection to speak truth about what was happening at MIT. Education, direct action to change US Foreign Policy. Please read Jeffrey Sachs address to the UN Security Council on Nov 22 calling for the 5 permanent members of the security Council to stop all four raging wars! Come to agreement! Cease all 4'wars.
He references 2020 like it’s in the future. When was this recorded?
2018 according to the creator
16:00 the fake talking point about the 2005 "withdrawal" I've seen online so much this last 2 weeks.
Anyone know the name of the Norman Finkelstein book Nome mentions
I think its his book "Gaza."
What happens when you mix duplicity with diplomacy.
They never mention which of Norman Finklesteins books they’re talking about
Well it's March 2018...would be the one published in the preceeding months of that same year.
All of his books are great
Good vid. When was it filmed - Chomsky looks younger and healthier
From the video's description: "Filmed on 3/20/2018 at the University of Arizona."
Doesn’t matter how smart you are, there’s somebody out there just as smart as you who will completely disagree with every word you say. Funny how that works. Pick your truth I guess.
So the problem will continue as long as USA Supports it...
When have the Palestinians ever been open to a two state solution? Please enlighten me.
Well, as the greatest leader of Israel, David Ben Gurion said: "If I were an Arab leader, I would never sign an agreement with Israel. It is normal; we have taken their country. It is true God promised it to us, but how could that interest them? Our God is not theirs. There has been anti-Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They see but one thing: we have come and we have stolen their country. Why would they accept that?"
At 23mins, does anyone which norman Finkelstein book in particular they are taking about?
What’s the actual date this was filmed?
Filmed on 20 March 2018 at the University of Arizona, according to the description.
All you’ve got to do is believe their book and their magic guy in the sky.
Noam Chomsky is Jewish is he not? i think yes.. i love the truth... objective reality is the best reality to live from...
Yes!!!

Enough is enough! Free Palestine and THE US / WESTERN world
how do you explain the exponential growth of population in Gaza if they were kept on a diet and posioned?
No birth control
People can still survive and reproduce under harsh conditions. If you take a look at the poorest or most miserable countries, they have highest birth rates. Lives goes on despite it, but it doesn't justify their conditions by any means.
Not many of us know the biblical history of Israel of who lived where or who lived with who on this land so much fought over are there a list of bullet points.Interested in the era of the Canaanites.Pretty much need that is as I may need some correcting with my present views.
meaning?
@@vgstb the question is clear..Now have the info on the shepherd era and a snapshot of time.an tribes thanks .
How can you be zionist and pro israel when Nelson Mandela, Malcolm X and even Albert Einstein were vocally against “israel”…😅
Einstein was not.., he allowed himself to be seduced gradually by zionist murdering planning, to steal an Israel
The Palestinian movement is one of the strangest of all 20th century national liberation movements because there was so much money involved in it.
There seems to be a cycle with Arabs where the elite become corrupt and are then overthrown by religious purification movements (Hamas in Gaza, the Iranian revolution in 1979) and then a new elite forms and starts the cycle all over again.
Meaning?
Grandpa, would you please tell me a story... lol
Im not sure why this is lol to you
Free Palestine

He takes kind of an unfair dig at Margaret Mead here but this is great
How is it unfair
Taken a bit out of context. Mead produced fairly complex work on Russian attitudes to authority that goes quite a bit further than child rearing. Granted, it's just a throwaway comment from Noam. @@idontknowmuch3441

❤🇸🇩❤
Chomsky is a fortuneteller. Oh, that peace trigge Hamas. Oh, poor realistic Hamas!
I have watched multiple interviews with this man. He never has anything positive to say about the the country he lives in!
Meaning?
What would be the point?
As a matter of fact he speaks extensively on the economical development in the us, about how great the notion of free speech is there and about the vibrant intellectual life that thrives in American universities
‘By 2020, Gaza may be uninhabitable.’ Is this the quality of Professor Chomsky’s predictions?
Gaza IS uninhabitable, wel before 2020, dear.
The UN concurs.
Obviously depends on the working definition of "uninhabitable".
98% of the water is poisonous dude
Looks like he was spot on- prescient! 2024…just a few years off.
How does he know there was going to be a military coup?
What gives him the right to say the Humas charter is meaningless?
What gives him the right to speak of behalf of Mexico when talking about their governments opinion on USA right to exist.
Does anyone ever challenge this guy
Bot.
@@vgstb yeah I agree with you 100%, Noams a bot who's algorithm is set on 6 degrees of separation from America's fault for everything bad in the world
All his talking points are readily accessible in the amnesty reports, in the un archives, in the cia archives, in historical works made by scholars and more broadly in the press

Hamas are the good guys? This really didn't age well...
😂 Come on fool. He never said that.
25:07
@@deplaneetegmont At that time, 5 1/2 years ago there were far more atrocities against Palestinians than a couple weeks ago. That fact hasn't aged well either, but many conveniently turn a blind eye because that fits their narrative. When a nation blatantly oppresses another, there's always going to be a price to pay. It may not be at that moment, but at some point EVERYONE with a brain knew someone was going to punish the oppressor. Do I agree or condone it? No. Violence is not the answer. But I was surprised it wasn't a dirty nuclear bomb.
At this point, I do not believe there is any solution. Neither side is capable of reason.
Typical propagandized statement
It did age well. Compared to Israel, they are saints. That's without hyperbole. Israel's actions for past 8 months speak for themselves. Savages of the modern world.
takes belief in god for otherwise good people to commit evil acts
I use to follow Chomsky for a long time and his views for me was absolute until a few years ago that he started supporting islamic regime in Iran and for those of you who don’t know about Iranian politics I say this categorically that this regime is evil and supporter and financier of majority of terrorists ground in particular Middle East
It has been proven to me the Chomsky belongs to to what we call liberal left and majority if not all are supporters of Palestine and are anti Israeli I do not support either side but to me as an Iranian Israel is the first line of defence against Islamic terrorist and if Israel is not there the whole west will be overridden by Islamic invasion and hence terrorism
For those who want to know more I recommend a book called The death of Europe. Which is well researched and shows a bitter truth which our grandchildren have to deal with I just don’t understand a well informed person such as Chomsky does ignore a lot of other facts and his arguments are one sided and biased
If the west did not help to overthrow the shah of Iran in 1979. None of these atrocities would have happened and Middle East would enjoy a prosperous and relative peace but it was question of cheap oil and gas and short term benefits for the large international corporations which they dictate policies to the politicians and as a result we have a Europe which every now and then there is an assault on free speech and the politicians are appeasing the Moslems and are afraid of them
I can see a dark future for Europe perhaps a civil war and you might like my views but it the truth and coming from an ex Moslem with a good knowledge of the area both in the Middle East and Europe
have you watched Manufacturing consent? It's free on TH-cam.
@@genevievexxI doubt they have they sound very much propagandized
You may have followed him, but you clearly never understood his positions. I'm not even going to bother addressing the remainder of your comment. It is beyond braindead and uninformed. Doesn't even deserve a response.
The U.S. overthrew a duly elected President in Iran in 1953 because he wanted to Nationalize the oil in his country for the people and usher in fairness and equality for all. They then installed the Shah who pillaged the resources along with the U.S. and Britain setting up the Islamic Revolution. Just a little history you may want to consider.

Listen to Thomas Sowell talk about intellectuals talking to topics outside of their field of expertise
That would include Sowell himself then, if he holds himself to his own standard.
@@adriant240 yes, if Sowell walked into a MIT department let's say the Linguistics department, and spoke like Chompskys when talking about economics or geopolitics then yes it would be equally absurd
@@garrethoien6666 You don't need credentials to speak on a topic with authority, especially on topics which don't require expertise. You're sounding now just like the woke wierdos who say you need to be an "expert" to have an opinion on kids transitioning. And considering most experts and academics are dishonest sell-outs, we desperately need intellectuals to speak the truth. Chomsky has proven more than capable, given the amount of knowledge he has, that he can speak with authority on these topics. He's probably read and written more on topics than the average historian or "political scientist". Chomsky even rightfully pointed out how you don't really need any expertise for the Humanities and social sciences. Anyone can understand them. They are not technical fields like Physics or Biology. And he's written extensively about them too. You're just trying to discredit his work because you have no way to challenge it honestly. But if you really have a fetish for only "historians" to talk about history, there's Illan Pappe who would fit the title of historian. If you want to talk about economics or geopolitics, you can certainly talk about them without any credentials. If Chomsky is technically wrong in his work, you fail to point out how. Because you can't, and thus only try to discredit him unjustly. Try to engage with the substance of his work rather than relying on credentials. If you want to talk about liars and hacks, there's no shortage of them among the Zionists and the Right wing.
@@adriant240 Thank you.
Sowell? 🤭 Doesn't hold a candle to Chomsky, but if he makes you feel all warm inside ..... why not?😄
The idea is the rejection of the Jewish people to be sovereign on their ancestral homeland, 1000 B.C King David was the second king of Israel that established the kingdom, an he was the real founder because he was the one who proclaimed Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, it was Hebron before that, and this is the irony, David who have many Muslims who revere prophets and kings of Israel named after them without making these kind of connections that the Jewish people belong to this land, are not foreign colonialists the Jewish name was never used before 586 B.C to identify the group that was called the Israelites, then they were called the Jews when they were exiled to Babylonia, the Babylonians asked them where are come from, they responded that they were from a land called Judah, we are the Jews the majority of Judah the word Jews are not indigenous to the land of Israel, the word itself says I am Judean, I am Judah, the child of this land which is now called by the West Bank this is why did the Israelis are still calling it Yahudah Ve Shomron, and it was called Judah because the character that is revered honored and respected in Islam and Judaism Joshua Ben Nun when he entered the land he partitioned into 12 sectors, and that sector was called Judah. Even Muslims honor and respect Isaiah, Jeremiah, David, Solomon, Habakkuk ad Daniel (God Judges).
What do you mean?
I wish I could follow this. Punctuation marks and proper syntax are our 'friends'.
So you think the ancient testament is in any way meaningful for understanding the middle east’s political evolution since 1960 ?
Jeez, that's a lot of blah, blah. Did it make you feel better?
When I was a student I really idolized Chomsky. Read all his books. Went to see him speak. Having grown and learn so much in the decades since it is interesting looking back and hearing him construct ideas and make kind of exaggerated and alarmist claims within this interview. I guess my intellect has out grown him now. He focuses so much on what the Israelis have done with some linguistic sleight of hand to prime your interpretation. Not a lot of examination of the why or deeper motivations. Disappointing. And yes, his stance has not aged well at all.
He does this because Israel and the West focus almost entirely on what Hamas has done. All claims made in this interview can be verified, which Chomsky often encourages people to actually do. If you've truly read all his books (which you obviously haven't) you wouldn't have written this concentrated whining because it offends your delicate Zionist sensibilities.
LOL. Quit joking. Chomsky is one of the greatest thinkers of the 20th century but you guess your intellect has outgrown him. lol He has written more books than you have read. 🤣
this is called the Dunning-Kruger effect
I heard deeper motivations. Please share your intelligence which has outgrown his. Go on, enligt us on the deeper and don't mention the past like he does.
Michael, have you pondered that maybe he is right and you are not?
No one came to his Bar Mitzvah, and Chomsky has been angry ever since.

Are Noam's views even relevant these days?
retorical question?
Depends on the topic imo.
Here: absolutely.
Just have a listen at his takes on Israel/Palestine over the years. I have found few others of similar clarity and relevance.
His historically informed brain is a great asset to us all if we let it.
I’m afraid not
Yes.
Nobody is perfect. Take in as much info as you can.
Yes. Do you exist still? Pity...
Does anyone still listen to Chomsky after he ignorantly demonised personal health choices? He’s off my list. He does not do due diligence.
@Edward L. Bernays Name calling is not a conversation let alone an argument. The fact is he was wrong about mandating vaccines to prevent transmission and needs to apologise to gain back our respect.
Chomsky was explicitly against mandates you know.
@@jesselopes5196 doesn’t matter how you dress it up. If you say the unvaccinated have to isolate at home and are unable to access food, healthcare and income then it’s a mandate. He was wrong. The vaccine did not prevent transmission or infection. The unvaccinated were no risk to other people especially once omicron arrived.

He fails to truly communicate that Jewish people, aside from Israel, lived there well before Palestinians or Islam ever existed.
Palestinians were living there in 1948 - it doesnt matter what your religion is, they were living there peacefully and independently in their own communities and then the colonial settlers attacked them and displaced 750,000 of them in the Nakba in order to steal their land and build on top of it. Saying that they had ancestors that lived somewhere around there over 2,000 years ago does not give them the right to do that. It was, and is, illegal and wrong.
@@codyvandal2860 As we’re numerous Jewish communities that were oppressed and invaded by Arabs. So they were a minority and that makes it okay and gives all the land to the Arabs to claim? Please read your history; both sides.
@@onlyone1. Please get educated and be honest with the world. Can you refute the facts above?
@@onlyone1. Bnei Yehuda, Kfar Saba, Kfar Uria, Ruhama, Hartuv, Hulda, Poria, Motza, Beit SheAn…..all 1920’s and 30’s…..and these are only a part of the Jewish communities racially cleansed by the Arabs. Can you refute this?
@@doctorhadland6510actually you need to read your history and look at genetics studies. Ancestors in that area are genetically related to both Jews and Arabs (in recent history called the Palestinians). They both have a claim to that land by ancient Biblical time standards, but Palestinians have claim to land when we look at recent history as well. Romans kicked out the Jews and left the Arab people stay and named them Palestinians, they have been there ever since Jews came back and displaced them.
Palestinians deserve that land just as much as Jews. Period. Not one or the other, but BOTH. Yet Israel has done everything in their power to illegally displace them and have caused tremendous abuse to their people.
Also, just because in your perspective Jews have a right to the land, doesn’t give them a right to do what they have been doing for 75 years. Instead of reading just history, go study some morality as well.
Noam thinks the USA and Isreal are garbage. I’m surprised he hasn’t moved to Gaza, they just want to thrive after all.
Because he was born in the US. Why would he want to move to a concentration camp?
