Decision ‘08

The Bizarro World Of Noam Chomsky

From an interview with everyone’s favorite America-hater regarding the Iraq Study Group’s DOA flop:

KA: The report points at the connectedness of the Iraq crisis with the Arab-Israeli conflict, recommending a more spirited US role regarding the latter. What are the chances that this will happen?

NC: The Report refers to Bush’s “commitment to a two-state solution,” failing to mention that Bush rejects this long-standing international consensus even more strongly than his predecessors, who, with only occasional departures, have blocked it (with Israel) for 30 years. In Bush’s version, Israel will annex valuable lands and major resources (particularly water), leaving the remnants dismembered by infrastructure project and other modalities, and imprisoned as Israel takes over the Jordan valley.

The Report calls for direct talks for Palestinians who “accept Israel’s right to exist” (an absurd demand) but does not restrict Israelis to those who accept the right of a Palestinian state to exist, which would, for example, exclude Israel’s Prime Minister Olmert, who received a rousing ovation in Congress when he declared that Israel’s historic right to the land from Jordan to the sea is beyond question.

The proposals offer little hope for a reversal of long-standing US-Israeli rejectionism, which in fact reached its peak with Baker’s endorsement of the Shamir-Peres rejection of any “additional” Palestinian state in 1989 (Jordan by implication being a Palestinian state), in response to the formal endorsement by the PLO of the international consensus.

Astonishing in its myopic refusal to view reality. For the record (and for the thousandth time), George W. Bush is the first and only President of the United States to make an independent Palestinian state an explicit goal of American foreign policy (look it up, I wouldn’t lie about something like that)…and how about calling Israeli insistence that its negotiating partners recognize its right to exist ‘an absurd demand’?

What a morally bankrupt fool…

[…] A few days ago I highlighted the latest vicious batch of falsified tripe from Noam Chomsky, this time ostensibly about the Iraq Survey Group, but in reality, more about Chomsky’s dual obsessions, the imperialist, fascist exemplars of pure evil, Israel and the United States. […]
