Chomsky's Philosophy
"I am a Zionist. You don't have to be a Jew to be a Zionist." ~Joe Biden
"Forget Russia, the real threat to America comes from Israel and the Israel Lobby." ~Julian Assange
“I have said to people when they ask me if this Capitol crumbled to the ground, the one thing that would remain is our commitment to our aid… and I don’t even call it aid… our cooperation with Israel. That’s fundamental to who we are.” ~Nancy Pelosi, 2018 IAC National Conference
The United States' historical support for Israel is rooted in a complex interplay of stolen religious mythologies, colonial, and geo-strategic factors.
Professor Noam Chomsky highlights the significant influence of Christian Zionism, predating Jewish Zionism, particularly among British elites who played a role in the Balfour Declaration.
The alignment of using the ancient Hebrew biblical narratives, with political decisions in both England and the United States underscores the deep religious motivations.
Additionally, the geopolitical considerations come into play, with Israel being viewed as a strategic ally since its early days.
The Pentagon was impressed by Israel's military potential, considering it a valuable base for U.S. power in the region. The alignment of interests, especially during the 1967 Six-Day War, solidified the close relationship.
The on going military and intelligence cooperation, as seen in the recent Gaza conflict, further emphasizes Israel's role as a military ally, intertwined with religious and colonial narratives that have shaped the longstanding U.S. and Israel alliance.
Professor Noam Chomsky is a renowned American linguist, philosopher, cognitive scientist, historian, and social critic. Beyond his contributions to linguistics, Chomsky is equally famous for his critical analyses of contemporary political and social issues. He has been a prominent and outspoken voice on matters of U.S. imperialist policies, corporate media, Banking system, corporate influence, and social justice. Chomsky's perspectives are often viewed as progressive and anti-establishment critiques.
