Would be ten or a hundred times as much if he had followed the corporate herd to the Hoover Foundation.

Millions of people around the planet are willing to pay for Chomsky's insights because he applies the moral principle of universality to the crimes committed by the US and Israel.

If Arab sniper towers and cluster bombs supplied by Russia were killing Jewish children in Tel Aviv and West Jerusalem, Noam's condemnations wouldn't be affected by the amount of his speaker's fee or his grand-children's inheritance.

Unlike the corporate handmaidens at Hoover, killing children for money is an universal evil for Chomsky.

When correspondent Amira Hass interviewed an IDF sniper on the policy of killing of Arab "children" and discovered only Arabs under the age of 12 qualified, Chomsky wouldn't let the color of the sniper's flag factor into his response to the murders.

That's why he's earned his millions.
Not because of capitalism.
In spite of it.

Not something they will ever figure out at the Hoover Club.

All commies think themselves morally superior, just don't forget your communist friends purged 15-20 million people in Russia.

If a lifelong commitment to authoritarianism is a prerequisite for someone being labeled a communist, I don't see how Noam qualifies?

He consistently applies to same moral standards to all political actors. Hitler, Stalin, Sharon, Saudi royals, Clinton, Bush, Obama, are all war criminals by his standard.

One war criminal Chomsky reserves special contempt for is Ronald Reagan, which is probably why the Gipper's authoritarians at Hoover try to undercut his criticisms.

The big fight on this planet is class based.
Chomsky gets it.
You don't.
Yet.

George helped me "get it" six decades ago.

When I came out of high school in 1965, I was ready to volunteer for Vietnam.
As it turned out I got out of that mistake with a medical discharge from the USAF.
It was George, and Mort Sahl and Lenny Bruce among others who helped change my mind.

NAZARETH, (PIC)-- Hundreds of olive trees belonging to Palestinians in the Zulfa and Mosheirefa regions in 1948-occupied Rouha area were uprooted by staff from the so-called “Israeli land administration” (ILA), accompanied by police and military forces.

“The land has belonged to our family for more than 45 years,” the land’s owner, Mohammed Abdel-Raouf Jabareen, said. “We were surprised by the military and police forces raid on the land to escort the ILA employees to uproot the olive trees, and we fear that this signals confiscation of more Arab lands in the region.”

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) rounded up at dawn Monday four Palestinians in various West Bank areas as a Palestinian society revealed that the IOF detained 300 Jerusalemite children recently.

It noted that the arrests are mostly made at a late hour and target children for allegedly throwing stones at settlers while trying to seize control of Arab homes in Silwan, adding that the campaign targets scaring those children and raising concern and anxiety of their relatives.

The society said that almost all children in Silwan in the age category 10 to 14 were detained over suspicion of throwing stones at the settlers.

The Israeli occupation usually releases those children two days after their detention on bail, the society said, noting that the international law prohibits detaining children less than 12 years old while older children should be only detained in daylight in the company of either of their parents.

A local friend alerted CPT (Christian Peacemaker Teams) at 2:45 p.m. that the shopkeeper had received a warning that the military would close his shops, and he had half an hour to remove all his merchandise. After arriving at the site, CPTers alerted other internationals, partner organizations and media to come. A crowd of about 75 people assembled in front of the stores. As they waited, Palestinians removed and hid two of the shop doors.

A little after 4:00 p.m., 30 soldiers and three policemen arrived and pushed their way into the shops where internationals and Palestinians were waiting. The soldiers pulled the civilians out of the shops, scattered much of the merchandise, and dragged a Palestinian behind the gate. Red Crescent of the International Red Cross came shortly thereafter and examined the Palestinian man who had been injured while being dragged. They determined he had a brain concussion and advised the police that he needed hospitalization. The police replied they would take the Palestinian man to the jail, question him and then decide if he needed hospitalization.

Declaring the area from the military base to the stores a “closed military zone,” the soldiers formed two lines and progressively forced the crowd away from the stores being closed. Other soldiers retrieved the two hidden doors and welded shut the three shops. An Israeli policeman pushed the shopkeeper’s large cart of merchandise into one of the stores before the doors were welded shut. One of the CPTers urged the policeman to bring the cart out of the shop or allow her to retrieve it for the shopkeeper, but the policeman refused. One British man and four Palestinians were arrested.
