Israel - Palestinian Conflict - Noam Chompsky

Democracy Now!

October 22 at 6:00am · 

“Many of the world’s problems are so intractable that it’s hard to think of ways even to take steps towards mitigating them. The Israel-Palestine conflict is not one of these,” said Noam Chomsky.

"On the contrary, the general outlines of a diplomatic solution have been clear for at least 40 years."

  Alexander Stonawski Funny how the U.S. never even proposed a ceasefire or tried broker a diplomatic solution in Syria. They only armed and supported the foreign militants. That's how you know this was an invasion by proxy.

  Ben Jacoby the portion of the speech hosted here is mostly the same points he's been raising in speeches for the past couple years or so pertaining to the Israel-Palestine conflict. The last hour of the session not seen here - with question and answer including a long bit from the palestine delegation - might be more interesting for chomsky-philes

  Amory Paz There is no "Genocide"- The Palestinian population has RISEN 60 percent. Israel supplies food, electricity and infrastructure to Palestinians. Furthermore, the PA's leader, Mahmoud Abbas wife gets Medical treatment in Israel and so did one of Hamas' leader sister. The real genocide is going on in Iraq of the Yazidis- 150,000 Christian Yazidis being raped, exterminated and made to flee and of 150,000 Syrians by Assad.

You are only causing trouble for the entire world with your opinions on this subject, which I think is what is exactly what you want to do. You remind me of the Grand Mufti who spent the World War II Years in Berlin.............
