All three were still in school when Chomsky began a scathing critique of Israel and its relationship to the US that, as far as I can tell, has remained consistent over the decades. He more or less invented the genre. Walt and Marsheimer pull their punches somewhat because they have to maintain academic careers. It's amazing they've ventured as far as they have, but they certainly didn't wade into those waters until they had tenure.kai1275 wrote:What he calls self-glosses himself and what he writes and advocates is completely different. He has flip-flopped on Israel many times. If you want to read harsh critics look up guys like Stephen Walt and John Marsheimer, or even Henry Makow, perhaps the harshest, for that matter.gsjackson wrote:Okay, Chomsky is probably the best known and one of the harshest critics of Israel in the world. That makes him a Zionist .......how?kai1275 wrote:Ha! Why bother Winston. Chomsky is a Zionist with strong ties with the establishment and far left communists and Democrat party! He cannot say anything like that. It would f**k up his Street cred....
"Chomsky is a Zionist with strong ties with the Establishment .... and Democrat Party." Wrong on all three counts. He is loathed and feared by the American establishment, and is almost always at odds with the policies of the Democratic party.
