Noam Chomsky | Israel, Palestine and the Hypocrisies of Power

The proposal of cultural Zionism by leading figures in the Jewish community aimed to revitalize Jewish culture and language in Palestine before the Holocaust. Noam Chomsky highlights the decisive role of the US in supporting Israel's actions in the Middle East. The conflict in the Middle East between radical Islam and secular nationalism was influenced by the support of different superpowers. Israel's goal is to take over valuable land and ignore or expel the Palestinian population. Israel had a choice between expansion and security in the 1970s, and it chose expansion with the help of the United States. The United States vetoed the resolution for a two-state settlement, setting the stage for Israel's expansion into the Egyptian Sinai. The occupation of Israel has led to the country being compared to “judeo Nazis“ by respected figures, showing the harsh reality of the situation. Noam Chomsky highlights the shift to the right in the US and the rise of religious nationalism in various countries, challenging the notion of a liberal, secular world. #noamchomsky
