Israel Denies US Academic Chomsky West Bank Entry

Israel says the denial may be a misunderstanding. Renowned US scholar Noam Chomsky has been denied entry to the West Bank by Israeli immigration officials. Prof Chomsky, renowned for his work on linguistics and philosophy, was planning to deliver a lecture at Birzeit University. Prof Chomsky, 82, had been trying to enter from Jordan.

An Israeli interior ministry spokeswoman said it was to trying to clear the matter up and allow Prof Chomsky to enter. Prof Chomsky said the officials were very polite but he was denied entry because "the government did not like the kinds of things I say and they did not like that I was only talking at Birzeit and not at an Israeli university too." He added: "I asked them if they could find any government in the world that likes the things I say."

Prof Chomsky's Palestinian host for the visit, Mustafa al-Barghouti, told Reuters: "This decision is a fascist action, amounting to suppression of freedom of expression."

Let us hope they don't change their mind. Chomsky was excommunicated (a rare occurrence in Judaism) for his anti-Semitism.

Since Chomsky compares Israel with Nazi Germany with a prayer shawl, the Nazi Germany with the prayer shawl country should have the advantages of Chomsky's smear by barrin him from the country.

My blessed father said if you got the name you play the game, meaning that if you're going to smeared as someone that does bad things, you should take advantage of the results that come with immoral things.

"I asked them if they could find any government in the world that likes the things I say."

That would be the United States. Obama loves what he says.

Relocate him to the desert Israel, with the scorpions.

[DoughtyOne]

...that should have read, “...with the other scorpions.

For a so-called "linguist," this jerk certainly is sloppy with his choice of terminology. "Fascism" is a term used to describe a specific type of politico-economic system, which may OR MAY NOT suppress freedom of expression. Fascism, specifically, is a system in which businesses and the means of production are nominally owned by people in the private sector, but those people have to follow the orders of people in the government (so, of course, if things go right, the government takes the credit, and if things go wrong, the so-called "owners" get the blame. Get it? Sound familiar?) There is NOTHING in the definition about expression's freedom or lack thereof.

“....For it is written: If anyone of you moonbats causes one of these little ones to reject Truth for the intellectual crack of leftism — look at me, Chomsky, I’m talking to you — if any of you little tenuremites eating away at the spiritual foundation of the West do this, it would be better for you to have a large millstone hung around your pencil neck and drowned in the depths of your own bullshit. ....” ~ Gagdad Bob http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2253289/posts?page=83#83

The admirers of Professor Noam Chomsky spend much time and expend much effort in reassuring each other that when, a quarter-century ago, their hero intervened in support of the Holocaust denier Robert Faurisson he was disinterestedly and even heroically defending the principle of free expression. Readers who have followed the story from my earlier posts http://oliverkamm.typepad.com/blog/2004/11/chomsky_and_hol_1.html will know that that is nonsense. Chomsky defended the political legitimacy of Faurisson’s beliefs, and not merely the right to express those beliefs. He did this - inexcusably speculating that Faurisson was “a relatively apolitical liberal of some sort” – despite being fully aware that he was speaking of an antisemite and an apologist for Nazi Germany. ..”

I have a plan to destroy America

Editor’s note: In 2004, Richard D. Lamm, former governor of Colorado, addressed a conference sponsored by the Federation for American Immigration Reform in Washington. The following remarks are reprinted with his permission.

“...Lastly, I would censor Victor Davis Hanson’s book “Mexifornia” – this book is dangerous; it exposes my plan to destroy America. So please, please – if you feel that America deserves to be destroyed – please, please – don’t buy this book! This guy is on to my plan. “The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum.” – Noam Chomsky, American linguist and U.S. media and foreign policy critic.

“..The pathological narcissist imagines he’s giving you milk when he’s actually feeding you poop; in short, he’s not a bountiful breast but a toxic a$$hole. Once you get a feel for this, you can really appreciate the ubiquity of the dynamic. Ever wonder how Noam Chomsky can be so prolific? Because the large intestine never sleeps. ..” ~ Gagdad Bob http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2047396/posts?page=8#8

And what does he call it that a Jew cannot enter Saudi Arabia. What does he call it that i as a christian cannot enter Mecca? What does he call it that a Jew cannot walk into a palestinian zone without a better than even chance he will be murdered?
