- democracynow.org - We speak with world-renowned political dissident Noam Chomsky about where the Democratic presidential candidates stand on the issue of Israel and the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, or BDS. "Boycott and sanctions make perfectly good sense when these tactics are properly applied, as they often are," Chomsky says. "You can understand why Hillary Clinton is frightened of them. They might undermine the policy of her husband and his predecessors, and Obama, as well, to support Israeli violence and aggression."

As the first Jewish candidate for a major party in history, Bernie has the most principled and nuanced approach to Israel and Palestine. The USA has had an unethical position for decades towards the Palestinian people and that MUST end if actual peace between Muslim nations and the west will ever come to pass.
And Hillary is trying to be Jewish than actual Jews,
+Malith Perera not Jewish but nationalist for israel
Its also why the Associated Press (owned by the Zionist Rothchilds) and NBC called the election for Clinton on june 6 before the votes were taken in 6 states on june 7. she is a Zionist supported by Zionists.
Over a Billion people in the West, and over 1.5 Billion Muslims in 56 Muslim states, and "peace between Muslim nations and the West" is to do with a tiny ONE jewish state with population smaller than NYC...?
I think you need to see your doctor.
Rather, YOU need to get a bit of knowledge about the matter. Israel would never have been the hobby-Nazi state it is today without uncritical US support, which again is promoted through AIPAC and other rotten US-Israel alliances. But then again the US itself is the greatest committer of war crimes since WW2, with Israel following suit. Sadly, Europeans haven't got the guts to boycott neither Israel nor the US, but just dance to the American tune.
"I don't understand how you can run a country when you are under constant attack." -Hillary Clinton
I would love to know how the people of Haiti, Cuba, Nicaragua, Iran, Iraq, Vietnam, etc. did that while under constant US attack.

Lmao. That's a good point. But tactically, Hillary realised that she was already hated by the 'Bernie" and progressive wings of the Democratic Party, so it was only logical for her to make statements that pander to the centrists and centre-rights to win votes.
Exactly!
Yes!!!!! And, especially for Cuba who the US invaded long before they agreed to accept nuclear weapons from the Soviet Union. The economic boycott is a stage of warfare.
Especially the lies she spouted about 1998 "peace plan"
i particularly like how clinton calls for free and open dialogue as long as it agrees with her :/
Do some mor study. Use CZcams. Have a look at Pof Finklestein
She's a feminist, remember?
Free and open bombing
She should run for the president of Israel.
Not sure whether even Israel would want her lol.
Why the continued conflict? Noam sums it up pretty well, as long as we continue to disproportionately support by us to Israel there will be continued conflict.
Hi America - If you want to get the USA back on it's feet then get rid of AIPAC.
I love how pissed off Hillary's face looks when Bernie says anything, ever.
I could listen him forever.
I know it may seem like nitpicking, but is it more accurate to call it "Zionist violence and aggression" rather than Israeli violence and aggression? There are, after all, a fair number of Israelis who are not comfortable with Netanyahu's policies and ideology.
I like that. Kind of like we don’t refer to Nazi Germany’s actions as German actions but as Nazi actions.
That is partially true, but being Israeli intrinsically means being a Zionist. I always make a distinction between Jew and Israeli/Zionist as well as anti-Semite and anti-Zionist.
But still, they come and stayed in Israel😂
The company you keep is a direct reflection of ones values and character and with allies like Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Rwanda Bahrain, Egypt and Israel just to name a few only shows our values and character as a country isn't any better.
Can you name any country in the region that you would consider an acceptable ally?
+antred11 There are no good allies in the region. Our best allies are Canada, England, Australia, France, Germany, etc
Hillary is one super scary person.
You 'run a country' by recognizing international law. That's how you start to end disputes with your neighbours.
I never understood why Israel was allowed to get away with their atrocious activity put onto the Palestinians. Nice to hear this debate
The irony of Clinton in one statement saying we must fight back against BDS and in the next sentence saying we must not shut down debate. How intelligent
One of the most brilliant minds of our time. I'm very jealous of all those at MIT who get to have him as a lecturer.
Me too!!
Who benifited from 911?
I wish more people would look at government like Noam.
HRC: "You have a right to defend yourself".
HRC: Gimme your guns.
You can defend yourself without god damned assault rifles.
antred11 You should spend A LOT OF TIME reading our Declaration of Independence and Constitution. You should also read some supporting documents like The Federalist Papers. You have absolutely no knowledge about where the 2nd amendment comes from and why its there. I won't waste another keystroke on you, bigot.
You people don't know the difference between gun regulations and banning guns. No one is trying to take your guns away and nowhere in your constitution does it say you're allowed to bear assault rifles..it says "muskets". lol
You dumb ass. Nowhere in any of our founding documents does it identify any kind of weapon (musket/assault weapon). Furthermore, if you had any idea wha you were talking about, you'd know we're not talking about assault weapons. By definition, an assault weapon is capable of fully automatic fire. Congratulations, you're a bigot and a major league dumb ass. STFU.

"Nowhere in any of our founding documents does it identify any kind of weapon (musket/assault weapon). "
Oh well, then I suppose you'd be alright with me installing my own private nuclear missile silo.
I would love to see Hillary attempt to debate Chomsky.
BDS (Boycott Divestment Sanctions). I just had to get that cleared up. I forgot what it was.
Neither the democrats or republicans has the will to see peace in ME.
*****
Bernie fails to see the aggressor/occupier in the ME,like his opposition to complete audit of the FED, indicating he is easily purchased, just like everyone.
Wolf Blitzer, what a greasy, little stick-handler.
General rule of thumb, if Hillary is against it, then doing it is the right thing to do.
We should start: The Noam Chomsky Doctrine. For the survival of humanity and a much better world!
I do like this video and Chomsky. I respect him and think he is reasonably smart guy and very caring individual and knows what is going on in the world around us.
Thank you
Not really Hillary. Surrendering wasn't an option for the locals.
i definately believe Israel has the right to exist and the right to defend themselves. that said, they need to go back to pre 67' borders. even David Ben Gurion advocated for that.
Trump and Bernie talk to you.
Hillary YELLS at you.
I think Trump yells too. Trump and Hillary are both excessively aggressive people with a lot of pent up rage
I haven't ever heard of an equivalent to Israelis Samson Option, by Hamas or any Palestinians, who love their land so much they remain under the worst treatment.
Hillary bounced off the glass ceiling. Windex.
Hey Hillary, Please go and take care of Bill's Needs. He's deprived, Shame.
It's been 2 years now since this Sanders/Clinton debate and Clinton still won't go away. The campaign across America to suppress free speech regarding BDS also won't go away. The USA is paralyzed.
Noam is so conservative in his proposals its almost comical; follow the law and report the facts. This just demonstrates how right wing and off the wall the whole political and economic establishment is.
left wing, right wing= same bird
Sadly I voted for this woman. Bernie Sanders is the only politician with a conscious.
How she can lie with such a straight face. She an actor.
7 year old interview, but as relevant today as always.
Chomsky in Bernie's Cabinet would be a force to be reckoned with.
I would like Chomsky as Secretary of Labor, Secretary of Education, or the Environmental Protection Agency administrator. Maybe Secretary of State but that would never be allowed in a million years
so, who did Chomsky support in the General Election
Chomksy has a unique voice I can listen to all day
democracy now can u please do a converge of what happened in Nevada please I cant depend on the CNN and MSNBC
Try secular talk
here i am in 2019 now. does H.R. 1 2019 have anti boycott in it?
It was NEVER Explained, as to WUT BDS stands for!!!
Bad Drugs Stupor!
Trump is awful. Hillary is awful.
Please Noam, go on mainstream media and speak.
it's like you offer the Palestinians like a fraction of their former lands and not even the most fertile and expect them to take it after u sent settlers to take the original land then u say it's the Palestinian people's fault they don't have a state ? she sounds like netanyahu himself is in her earpiece telling her exactly what to say which he probably is .
What weird, obvious statements this man is revered for.
+scentability01 In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king.
+valgehiir Because people are ignoring the basics.
I don't think a 7th grade would be able hand Alan Doucheawitz his ass on stage of Isreal/Palestine time and time again. Most 7th graders in the US know absolutely nothing about Isreal/Palestine. Finally, what he is saying is basic but true and cuts through the propaganda that clouds this debate.
Truth
We must put an end to the Israeli occupation of Palestine! Daniel 9:24-27. End apartheid, and stop the genocide!
I did not know BERNIE was a Shrew!
Sounds like she's screeching
God, I'd forgotten how creepy H was.
american universal-fee, not universities.
Need to make a new song, "Bernie come back" (similar to the tunes of "Baby Come Back" by Player; 1977)
Chomsky is out of line, BDS hurts everyone.I agree Leslie, Bernie is on point as usual.
jail for Clinton.. immediately..
so far as i can tell, european jews invaded palestine, very quietly, under the blind eye of the british 'mandate.' in about 1925, they were strong enough to throw off the pretense of peaceful settlers, and declare their intention of taking all of palestine, "from the river to the sea." which remains their goal, one bite at a time. the locals resisted, but without european money and guns, later american money and guns, they find themselves pressed into 'reservations,' dependent on u. n. aid for survival. a crime done in the open, worse than apartheid.
I'd like to hear his thoughts on shampoo,combs & haircuts
Too bad Chomsky's voice is so hard to listen to. What he says is some of the most important thought of or time.
We Must Have Comprehensive Discussions About the Origin, Roles, and Influence of the State of Israel in Economics, Media, Politics, Education, and Other Fields.
REALLY?!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!! Fucking genius I tell ya, pure genius.
I wonder if the hildabeast had to run and duck for cover in Israel too.
If she made up another story would anyone care? Would two stories of manufactured valor be the tipping point where just one is ignored by most? I'm waiting to read the headline "Hillary Stomps Baby Penguin" and an op ed about how the little fella had it coming, poll numbers remain unchanged.
Bring it on Killary I assure you that you will lose
Remember Kent State.
All these ppl are same side of the coin just with a little to no distance between them.
Wow Bernie..............you should have won!
Bottle rockets vs. military weapons
2 years later - Noam Chomsky was right! .Love his sarcasm re Hillary :) truth! Hillary would not have been any better than Trump just more poised in public. In his book, Bernie said he was pulled aside by DNC & told to temper his temper with her - a Jew not on the side of Israel? Why would he? this is not the religious issue!
ooooo, look at that conviction, how passionate! "israel doesn't invite..." HAHAHA!... all the palestenian prisoners and farmers whose olive groves are plucked out for IN-YOUR-FKN-FACE settlements beg to differ.
HER ANSWERS IS LIKE LOOKING AT A COPY OF AN EXRAY PLATE. THE OPPOSITE IS THE TRUETH.
thumbs up does not apply here
His ideal of campus debate sounds like he's giving on up to campuses that are already controlled by groups that have interests in the military of the the USA. Just saying it sounds like he's giving up.
I sure wish Bernie was 25 years younger, because he is Courageous, Forward Thinking, and ETHICAL! I didn't vote in the last election, and I still berate myself for it! - tRump is an ABSOLUTE Disaster!...but Hillary?!!!! No FUCKING WAY! She is so jaundiced, and corrosive - it's stomach-turning! Unfortunately, we'll never have a Leader like Noam Chomsky - the clearest, and sharpest mind in the US!
lol someone should make a supercut of all the times amy goodman has to break in one of noam chomsky's long rambles to bring it back on topic. we should all be very glad that noam made it to the digital age. in a few years we will look back on bernie/chomsky as moral liberalism's guiding saints after they are no longer with us, and these democracy now clips will be in the history books.
Not the same thing. The Vatican is not a nation.
If you ever want to know what's morally 'right', first look to what Hillary's position is. And then rule it out. 😂
It's gonna be great with this honorable woman in the White House.
Mercy me. I meant that piece of shit that happens to have a vagina makes me sick
Israel has the power to maintain peace. They repeatedly show they aren't interested. The archaic eye for an eye philosophy lives on
Hillary Clinton, a Democrat, is more right wing than even Donald Trump. Crazy choice we were offered in 2016. No wonder so many people refuse to vote. But I notice how Trump has fallen right into line on the Israel question. Six of one, half-dozen of the other.
7:48 - warning! HRC porn starts here. May not be suitable for small children.
America really missed out with Bernie
I should have voted for Hillary. G-d bless her.
thumbs up t does not show now??
he'll hath no fury like a woman scorned and now we are seeing her revenge and I am a woman and a democrat
Thats an antiquated old time saying & empty today in a world full of scorned vengeful people both genders & Good that you believe that though.
Please Forgive Me Hillary!!!!! I Should Have Voted For You !!! I REALLY DO !! 😢
Damn Hillary is darkside
Noam, please. Address the world in action or protests to stop trump. U of all people would know the best ideas to motivate people to wake up. I hope u r able to do so. The chaos will be terrible otherwise
Noam is spot on here. Clinton is repulsive with her answer.
What I don't understand is this and maybe someone smart out there can help me. Why does Israel keep doing this? And I don't want to hear some type of conspiracy theory. There must be a sensible reason why they keep doing this... ? If they just lived with them, everything would even out in the end... but why is Israel so aggressive? Is there some military advantage to the Gaza strip?
wow look at hilary's face
Israel wants to have a reason to take Gaza and the West Bank -- That is why it continues.
Wtf prime minister borack?
What a horribly corrupt woman
Who created Hamas?
relay are you sure
Here's how Hillary explains her support for Israel (instead of the U.S. & U.N.): forward.com/opinion/national/324013/how-i-would-rebuild-ties-to-israel-and-benjamin-neta
ahh, you cut it off just when it was getting good
Rockets aka bottle rockets.
Not a fan of Clinton, but she is right.
Hillary not afraid of anything
inditements perhaps
