"They don't hate us because they hate our freedoms - they hate us because they want their freedoms"
this was great. thanks for sharing it.
as an american, it makes me feel terrible that we're legally actual War Criminals but just too big of a bully to be held accountable.
I'll answer that. Because the U.S is not run by American's its run by Isreal and their central banking system. I thought this was common knowledge?
@David Miles You will NEVER see any American tried in The Hague as a war criminal or a person who commits crimes against humanity, EVER, as long as the U.S. Empire continues. When the U.S. Empire dies though then you will see a nuclear war or "real accountability "finally. Power over International Law- The U.S. Empire. Power trumps all.
the past 100 years of american imperialism can be described as " legally actual War Criminals but just too big of a bully to be held accountable"
@@erictred4529 holy shit you are dumb. Isreal is practically an american mercenary state/ military colony. The master is the US but its easy to point the finger to Isreal if it shuts the population from critisizing the US government and corperations
@@erictred4529"...and their banking system " so they make mistakes in our SSA payments, we have to pay back
Time has come to re watch this in 2023 !
truth is painful when your interest is on the wrong side.
It's worse than painful , from the right winger church goers who think America should support Israel because the Bible says so to the Pro Israeli Hasbara students paid to comment on the internet in support of genocide. It's unacceptable. Their version of reality(lied to since this all started) is threatened so they cling to shoddy justifications to break every moral rule in the book.
@Dragon Slayer ?
Never met a Chomsky hater that could ever make an attack on him or his readers without resorting to lies and distortions. At best you never read a single book of his; at worst you did, and still managed to completely avoid any understanding. Thanks for proving once again that the haters still have nothing to say.
Noam Chomsky is truly a great inspiration and I recommend his books. Those of you insinuating that he doesn't know what he's talking about or that his is misleading, I would ask you who's more likely to hold those properties - the world's leading intellectual who has given his life to demistifying some of the greatest issues facing civilisation who's widely recognised as one of the greatest contributions to modern political dissidence, linguistics and philosophy... or you. Much love for Chomsky!
To answer your question, that is why thinking was invented. Read what Thomas Sowell has to say about Chomsky. Youth is another word for inexperience.
This comment seems to be in contradiction to Chomsky's philosophy which is about the empowerment of ordinary people in the face of large institutions that are "widely recognized". The message of his books is to think critically and research, and not to shut up and bow down to a source of information just because it is said to be reputable, as you say.
@johnstamp7545 "Sowell argues that existing racial disparities are mostly due to accurate sorting based on underlying characteristics, such as education" - white people must love hearing this xD
@@joshbaino3087that's not remotely what he said. 🙄
@@asleepbydawn137 Could you clarify what he meant then? There's no reason for us to shirk back and accept what Chomsky says just because he's a "renowned academic" who has "devoted his life to study." That title applies to any number of bourgeois economists or imperialist historians too. The strength of Chomsky is however that, if we do attempt to refute his points with our own research, we come up short. Open debate is advantageous for everyone.
They love him! ☺️🥰👏🏼
I love him too. How can you not?!
I love the real determination of this mans life long investigation of his own intellectual curiosity. He will stay in my thoughts forever as an Icon of political discussion.
Jimmy Kloep
If you are a politician and you speak up about crimes in Palestine you will never see a Seat in the USA.
Chomsky is truly a brave man that supercedes any labels those that disagree can place on him. He is a Historian by definition, and its easy to see he just wants to help people understand the significance of the past to help us deviate from the present.
For those of you criticising Noam Chomsky below - Most of what he says may sound somehow unjustified or redacted, but I don't think you can expect him to give the full detail during the lecture, though if you wish to understand the issues, read the massive plethora of books he has written which go into a huge amount of detail. What he says is based on a massive amount of knowledge. Noam Chomsky is recognised as one of the world's greatest intellectuals, if not the greatest.
Yes, this. He's said that it's hard to be as thorough as he'd like to be in lectures because he'd have to mention a ton of footnotes for everything. His books are a real gold mine.
It's such a privilege to listen and watch Dr. Chomsky speak at Brown University. Thank you very much for uploading this video to You Tube.
There are lots of people to admire in the world, but he's the closest person that comes close to being my hero. A truly beautiful mind.
A really high quality recording and great content. Thanks for the upload 5*.
YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF WORLD POLITICS IS NOTHING LESS OF AMAZING! AND SHARING IT WITH THE WORLD BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOW PUT TOGETHER A LOT OF INFORMATION I REALLY DIDN'T UNDERSTAND HOW IT ALL FIT TOGETHER! PRICELESS THANK YOU
To dislike Israel is not to dislike Jews. Just as disliking America isn't to dislike the American people.
Dret Drel According to the Zionists its called anti semitism.
This was an incredibly informative lecture and despite the enormously depressing nature of its subject-matter, Noam still provided a strong measure of hope and inspiration. As for Israel, it's foundation is based on an ugly sin committed on Nabka Day. It is inevitable that Israel will collapse from the weight of its own dichotomies. Most importantly, it cannot exist simultaneously as both a Jewish State and a fundtional democracy. JMHO
"Sorry to have gone on too long" Noam, you're adorable. I feel like this is the equivalent of when Gilmour apologized for playing "Wish you were here" during an interview. Like PLEASE go on.
Any country under occupation would react violently. Again, I never claimed to support Palestinian violence. What my position is is that Israel is violating international law, discriminating against Palestinians, and not willing to give back to the Palestinians what is rightfully theirs. I condemn Palestinian violence as much as the next, but would you expect anything less from a country under occupation? America needs to stop playing favorites with Israel. BOTH sides need to be held accountable.
If the USA somehow fell under foreign occupation you would see a measure of violent reaction, violent resistance that would make Palestinian (and maybe even Israeli) violence look like a picnic.
america is ruled by 1% rich and 90% of those rich are jews. so US is not going to stop spending americans tax money. you can forget that. it’s not gonna happen
murgul morgul can you provide a source to prove that Jews are 90% of the 1% of Americans who rule our nation ?
Joshua Hveem
Joshua Hveem . There is no occupation. The land of Israel belongs to Israel and it always has. There us also no people called Palestinians, they are Jordanians and have no rights to any land in Israel. Give your self a history lesson my friend.
Noam Chomsky IS A HERO.
an honorable man who saw the truth and is not afraid to say it...
God says in the quran " They are not [all] the same; among the People of the Scripture is a community standing [in obedience], reciting the verses of Allah during periods of the night and prostrating [in prayer], They believe in Allah and the Last Day, and they enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and hasten to good deeds. And those are among the righteous, And whatever good they do - never will it be removed from them. And Allah is Knowing of the righteous."
Israel 100% does have nuclear weapons we know now.
approx 300
Angelo B They have half of USA nukes.
JHC - 13 years on and here we are...How depressing.
Will this USA question ever end...?
thanks for sharing these videos. Take care
Long live Chomsky, and may those who are moved by the fruits of his labor themselves labor to yield rich fruits.
The bar has been raised. Who now will work to raise it higher?
New Zealand is a nuclear free country. I'm surprised Noam hasn't mentioned this.
always a pleasure to revisit. _JC
This is still such a central and relevant talk. The end of Israel's apartheid will come when and only when the US stops its support for that. Here is where the end has to begin. Let's do it.
Thank you for this video
Nice job recording this.
And he's a genius linguist, humanitarian, too. Note: his parents were immigrants who'd run from Jew-killing czars- so I'd say he's got an interesting, and fair view re: Israel-Palestine.
I learned from this man so many things I didn't know about my own region, the USA and the world too...
@John Sinclair Well .... being say a WASP criticizing Israel has not generally gone well. Noam actually went over to Israel and lived on a kibbutz and did farm work and all that. He came from pretty humble beginnings, the Great Depression was in full swing, and he remembers one family member who was very lucky to be disabled because NYC had a program where disabled people got preference in operating news stands. I believe Noam often watched the news stand and got a lot of reading in as a kid this way.
As humble as his beginnings were, he grew up in an era where upward mobility was a real thing in the US. Unless you were a total fuckup, you were up on the up escalator, socially and financially. Yes, up through the 1970s Jews were restricted in where they could live, where they could go, etc in the US but in NYC where Noam was, it was less of a problem. And he went to MIT because they were a lot less restrictive about allowing Jews in.
In his time school and college were cheap! If your parents were janitors, anything, they could support you and you could go all the way up to PhD. And Jewish parents, like all non-WASP parents, help their kids. Noam was allowed to live at home instead of being kicked out at age 18 etc which is the hyper-individualistic "American way".
Of course now the only social mobility in the US is downward, but I have gotten over the resentment I felt, of Noam the richie-rich college professor, because if I'd been born into his world I'd have risen up too - and I'm not Jewish. Also Noam has written a hell of a lot of books and extremely good ones too, and the royalties from those add up.
It's simply that from 1935-1975 you didn't need to be born into riches to stay out of poverty; just be a decent person and you'd rise up!
alex carter you mean just be a “decent white person” to rise up!”, right ?? You need to check your stats for that period again, African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos were not doing nearly as well as you’re describing bud
A very good video that helps us understand the background of recent events. The Gaza Flotilla only shows how right Chomsky is.
actually the brits began the theft of palestine with the balfour declaration, which basically the british declaring a homeland for jews in palestine....when? 1917....now you must ask yourself 2 questions: 1.) under what authority did britain claim the right to partition arab homelands in this way without arab permission or consultation? and 2.) why should arabs consent to this?
Balfour was apparently anti-semitic and thought Zionism and Palestine a good way of ridding Europe of Jews. A disliked man. Lloyd George sympathised with Jews equating them similarly oppressed like the Welsh.
Ever the Imperialist Pragmatist, however he thought a Europeanised people would provide a guard dog for the fear of ever present, of an Egyptian takeover of the Suez Canal. Stalin was the first to recognise Israel and supply them with Czech arms. Thinking that Zionism having a Utopian Socialist wing and being gratefull to the Red Army,preventing annihillation of all Europe's Jews.
The Arabs were thought 2nd rate. Zionism sided with the USA. The Arabs were betrayed by everyone. The hideous Maelstrom continues with unending horror for the people of the near and middle east. Including Jewish Working Class.
The Arab and Jewish workers are the key to a solution. They have little to lose!
you forgot the territory was occupied for the English empire.
@011jaffa Out of curiosity, what would you do in order to deal with the problems that you see with Muslims?
wake up as many hearts, * as you can .. than 'you'll know what to do..may truth*justice*love* prevail
Excellent, as usual.
Right on brother.
why isnt Mr Chomsky in charge of policy, and more heard of in open media ? such a great human being
Great opening riff!
@011jaffa You have just claimed that 'the laws on Sharia are already implemented' - what laws, in which country and when?
@011jaffa Your response does not follow on from my post. Did you mean to write it here?
@011jaffa I did not quite understand your last point on 'Israel is the land of the Jewish people', could you explain that more?
Chomsky is an American Hero!!!!
Well said.
50:02 Q&A portion begins (seems first audience question was cut out)
MUCH ♥, HONOR & RESPECT TO PROF CHOMPSKY FOR HIS INTEGRITY/ BRAVERY TO SPEAK
T R U T H. HOD LIVE HIM & ERASE ALL HIS SINS Amein 🙏
@tickleperson2
I salute you, I love dolphins as well,and for that matter, most of the animals and especially pets (I always had dogs).Dogs are man's best friends,better than some humans...
Promoting love is a great idea, but what can you do when some people "promoting" hate??? like this guy Chomsky.
I'll tell you ,the animal species are better than the human species!
they don't hate one another like people do !!!
Thank you for your comment, I love it.
thnx tips.
Jesus christ.
How long did that long ass question go on?
I fell asleep after a few stuttering minutes.
I simply do not know English, and I made a lot of mistakes because I wrote it in a hurry. But I know so well the history. A lot of italian people knows too. All my Respect to Moni Ovadia.
Naturally, your succinct analysis comes from a thorough examination of his writings, no doubt.
We got to solve this problem,for the love of GOD!
12:25 you can hear the audible gasp of the audience with the words, "terror states like Britain"...
Everyone there is so lucky to hear him live
Good for you.
@011jaffa In terms of the rockets, once again, pay careful attention to what I am writing. I am not saying that there are not missiles from other places that have explosives - I mentioned home-made rockets which are in large supply.
Perhaps he would be more to your liking if instead of criticizing the atrocities committed by his own state and it's proxies, he mindlessly cheered them on, as most public intellectuals (the kind you no doubt, admire), do. But of course, for people that know and understand anything about the real world, that would be a monumental loss. You have plenty of cheerleaders of mass murder to admire. Those who prefer human decency over state worship will continue reading Chomsky.
Chomsky is great. The audience does not get his subtle humor.
Yes. Tyranny often breeds extremism.
@tickleperson2
Thank you, I love you too ........
@Englishdosser86
Yes, I have read alot ,researched and lived through it!!!
@rring88
You better get on it! He's 81 and though brilliant as ever he's not getting any younger.
@rring88 Same i hear he tends to give almost anyone interviews for 30mins in a year i hope i can meet him in Boston i just really dread the day his time with us on earth is over.
@nunswithguns33 Thanks for the input and of course you'd think you're not being biased (as would I), but with all due respect, I think I'll take Noam Chomsky's, Norman Finkelstein's and Amnesty International's word for it. Thank you!
incredible intro song
i hope to meet him .he has a great understand .but there is more then he knows
its called caps lock its on the left side of your keyboard about halfway up
All the negative comments about Chomsky..is uncalled for..he speaks the truth...
What guarantee do we have that we do get the $50,000??
I hear that.
@ rring88 he was at BU speaking sometime last year.
Don't ever die Noam!
@011jaffa There is a big difference between loving a country and hating their policies. I love the UK, but I think some of its foreign policy is disgusting. Trying to advocate change through criticism does not undermine how I feel about it. It is a necessary part of making the world a better place. If I do nothing, then I give implicit support for my governments actions. It is a point the Chomsky consistently states about the US. He is responsible for US foreign policy as all its citizens are.
This man is an absolute treasure.
FREE PALESTINE
than what REALLY happened? And how did it all start? Why all a sudden was there a massive influx of jews to the region and why than did the fighting start? explain
@011jaffa You are right that Phillips is not a Jewish name. I'm guessing that it was her maiden name which she did not change when she married a Jewish man and converted to Judaism.
But that's not my argument. It's one you made up because it was easy to knock down. Now do you understand what a straw man is?
That's the task of people who care about the world--to let people know
Great mind.
read david ben-gurion and you will see the parallels between his colonialist rhetoric calling for ethnic cleansing of arabs from the holy land to that of the rhetoric of the british and americans against the american indians....
". Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead with the edge of the sword and; also the women and little ones.. every male and every woman that has lain with a male you shall utterly destroy."(Judges 21:10-12)
"This is what the Lord says: Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have; do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass . And Saul .. utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword."(1 Samuel 15:3,7-8)
"Defend themselves" relies on the idea of self defense. Criminals are not entitled to claim self defense.
@011jaffa ...that their parents and grandparents have suffered through and finally they will not be able to renegotiate further for the land and compensation which if there was justice, they should have already received.
For you to insinuate that because they did not accept the Israeli offer is absurdly unfair. One could easily say that if the Israelis truly wanted peace, then they would have offered more, such as the full return of the land that they are illegally occupying for a start.
"Thanks."
Ha!
P.S. Typo with my comment, the authors name is Abrahamson not Abrahanson. Chomskey also refuses to discuss/debate that the US govt had involvement or prior knowledge of 911
good so later when i ask you to check a certain verse it will be handy
"All churches should be destroyed" says Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia
The highest official of religious law in S. Arabia & head of Supreme Council of Islamic Scholars said “all churches should be destroyed in Arabia”, citing a saying by Muhammad.
A Kuwaiti parliamentarian called for a ban on the construction of new churches. Society of Revival of Islamic Heritage, asked the Sheikh to clarify what Islam says on the matter & clarify he did - in no uncertain terms!
Genius!
The book of Jubilees explained a lot.
@011jaffa If a reporter made this hypothetical comment about Palestinians, do you think that they would have had to make a public apology and have had their career damaged?
@Englishdosser86
You know, when you are asking me a question,I try to answer it to my best to my knowledge, but when I ask you questions, you never gave me an answer... I asked you ,how many Muslims have won the Nobel Prize???and what did they contribute to the world (accept wars killing and missery)...and some few pieces of literature...a minuscule percentage...
GOD ♥ HIM
That dean didn't really seem to ask a question
Karl-Heinz Realitätsprinzip loves this guy
... in exactly the same way as you took Meir's statement as "dead on".
Was this the work of Muhammad as well and more to come
"Leave alive nothing that breathes. Show them no mercy." [Deut. 7:2]
"The Lord hardened their hearts... that they might receive no mercy." [Joshua 11:20]
"I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith the Lord: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them. A curse on him who is lax in doing the Lord's work! A curse on him who keeps his sword from bloodshed." [Jer. 13:14; 48:10]
u love it
@oldstock1607 So what is your take on Iraq? You're going to tell me that that war is also justifiable?
@011jaffa Firstly, I'm not talking about someone in power. I'm talking about ordinary people. I do agree that it might not be representative of the whole population, but there were a few of them. Once again, her name is not Helen Smith and she did have to apologize because her career was being harmed. It was a bad mark on her reputation and needed damage control.
