Noam Chomsky is always loyal to the principle of avoiding hypocrisy at all costs. We are all blessed to have such a learned and wise gentleman in our times.

I can't believe how patient he is...

Setting Chomsky's intellectual capacity aside, it's worth noting that he intuitively understands on a fundamental level what so many Americans and Israelis don't -- that loving or supporting a country does NOT imply being happy with or supporting what it's government is doing. Dissent does NOT imply treason, lack of patriotism, or hostility to a country, its interests or its people.

Spot on. In facts it's true loyalty to a nation.

this 'interviewer' does a better job of making chomsky look good than anyone ive ever seen.

She has no idea who she's up against. A true thinker, humanitarian & historian...

nobody can put this man in a corner.

If you're curious what he had to say when they perform that obvious edit, he has said it a thousand times and it's quite obvious why the israeli press wouldn't want to air it. He points out that Israel is the only state in the entire world that demands other states acknowledge its right to exist which is quite different than just acknowledging that it exists. He points out correctly that the U.S. conquered half of mexico and doesn't demand that Mexico take the position that the U.S. had the right to do so.

Why is it an issue to be a country that asks its enemy to acknowledge its existence as part of signing a peace treaty with them? Or better yet - why would one country, that wants peace with another country, be so reluctant to acknowledge that country's existence?

Two quotes from Chomsky that can spell out the entire interview: "Any dissident and critic can anticipate that they'll be subjected to hysterical tirades." AND "Irrationality and paranoia are very destructive."

Wow. Chomsky is calm and articulate and she is not, she seems to be upset. This reminds me of a conversation I had with my six year old daughter.

This is a brave moral man under a lot of presure and probably threat, we should support him as much as we can because there aren´t many like him.

One of the most enjoyable clips I have watched.

This guy is just plain awesome. Give me 10 years to learn, 1 year to write a book about history or politics and still I cannot see it even close in style and clearness to this guys stream of consciousness.

Why can't the " intellectual " speak Hebrew ?

What is amazing to me is how sharp Chomsky's mind is at the age of 82. He can still cut a young interviewer in half with a couple of simply stated facts. If anyone wants to read about this great man, start with "Understanding Power". When he passes the world will be much the poorer, and now is when we need him the most.

It’s SO freaking funny how she tries to sneak in «you’re undermining Israel’s existence» at the end of another sentence. Like he isn’t gonna catch it if she says it fast enough LMAO

Amazing, what a unique personality. This person saw years ahead... I am sorry that I didn't really tried to hear him when I was younger...

"how do you think history will judge you?" - "it depends who wins the battles" i love this man! to sound very anti-intellectual: noam chomsky, you rawk!

What a nice unbiased interviewer! Not.

Chomsky dismantled this lady quite thoroughly. LIKE A BOSS!

The interviewer started thinking things through a bit during this interview. She tried as hard as she could but he spits out facts like no other and she was like Daaaymn...

He has a great mind. One of the few honest people who isn't written off as a lunatic because he is so logical and methodical in his arguments. Whether you agree with him or not he must be respected for how he presents himself.

I think she did a good job. She helped clear the air by hurtling all the crap that gets printed or read by talking heads everywhere. Noam reeks of integrity and sincerity. I love that guy. I learned a lot from this interview, namely, that the USA-Israeli relationship is mutually insane. Both countries are showing the world what can result when fanatical leaders demolish common sense and their own humanity.

Brilliant stuff. I hope the interviewer was only trying to keep her job. She makes a very good job of portraying the solipsistic indignation of much of the Israeli establishment. Good on her for giving the interview more zest by highlighting Chomsky's reasoned insight and his brilliance at countering aggressive bigotry.

I like how she walked into this having no clue who she's dealing with. Asked a slew of loaded questions and then Noam would not only reassess and inform her questions but simultaneously eviscerate her points.

@lukecarroll4052

Nah she prepared a lot for this, she knew a lot of facts from his history as a speaker and he is well known to be a coherent articulate speaker. But I think she used them to try and make him defensive, put him on the back foot and give more space to "interrogate" him aggressively. She knew how long it had been since he had been to Israel, about a recent issue where he was rejected at the border, knew he had loved in a kibbutz in the 50s. I think possibly by the end of the interview she might have even agreed with him, but she knows what her job was. To try and get him to say something outrageous so they could get an article out of it, to support the "Israel is threatened" byline which will generate many articles for months and which is clearly the narrative they have settled wit. They will side with the opinions of their largest or most profitable viewer base. And their ads are designed to be appropriate for those people. Which allows them to stay in business. Not to mention "the world is ending is Israel could be wiped out and Noam Chomsky loves it !!!!!!!!" Is much more interesting story, whether it's true or not. So Israel is at risk, despite the fact they are Americas dog in any fight in the middle east, America has a lot of dogs around the world.

She's actually a very good interviewer and doing Chomsky a great service, relative to many of the interviews we see in the states at least. She's asking the main questions that the hardliners would be concerned about and giving Chomsky time to explain his position in his normal lucid manner. Being any kinder to the man would undermine both of their roles in this case. The sad fact is that in her questions and statements she's reflecting the power holding segment of her country.

calm, cool, and collected.

@AlienEntity1 You are absolutely right mate! She tried time after time to find a sentimental connection between Israel and Chomsky because of his background and what he is. Chomsky showed that immoral is immoral doesn't matter what country or people it is, he is very neutral and judges everything out of facts and a great moral and ethics. He deserves tremendous respect and he will surely be remembered for a very long time. Much love!

She tries throwing everything at him from different angles; intimidating, emotional, ethnic, confrontational... to throw him off, but he's cool as ice!

Fascinating interview. The interviewer should make more concise the format of her questioining and refrain from interrupting the interviewee as often as she does. Her interviewing style sometimes morphs into abject hectoring. That said, she's obviously very bright but her raw talents need restraint if she is to develop into a top-rate journalist...Chomsky was Chomsky, a moral compass that is much needed then as now.

You can't fault the interviewer for being hostile to Mr. Chomsky when her employer chose her for the job intended and instructed her on how to proceed. I am so pleased to see with what ease Mr. Chomsky can answer her questions without leaving space for misleading edits.

Absolutely Brilliant

The antagonistic interviewers are always so much superior to the ones that are already sympathetic.

נועם, אתה הנביא שלי! Noam, you are my prophet!

See Chomsky's Fateful Triangle for an excellent overview of the US' support for Israel's expansionist policies and rejectionist stance with regard to peace with the Palestinians. Kudos to Israel News for showing this interview with Chomsky. The US corporate media generally do not allow his views to be aired. See Democracy Now website for Chomsky's extensive review of the life of recently-deceased war criminal Ariel Sharon.

At one point she seemed to lose her nerves and her voice started shaking a little bit...she got a flare of Chomsky's sharp edges...

"So you think you're a prophet?" she says... She really tried to take every opportunity she could to make him look bad, and failed quite miserably... This could have been on Fox news. What an incredibly biased interviewer.

Chomsky: In Iran I wanted to explore…. Interviewer: So you support the destruction of Israel! Please don’t call it an interview when you have pre planned bias behind your questions and won’t let the interviewee even finish his sentences. Also seeing this is heavily edited explains how serious you are about the whole issue!

She wasn't readddyyyyyyyyyyyy🤣 This man is a genius 👏

Very good interview! We can see in her face, in her stuttering the Israeli government's (and maybe Israeli generalized) paranoia... I hope one day you (israelis) learn to live together with other cultures. Mixing IS NOT to loose the culture, mixing IS gaining culture! End the apartheid! Shalom and Salam

What I loved the most was the reporter's attempt to corner Mr. Chomsky with her questions and further attempting to trap him into saying something which she could spin into an anti-Semitic comment which would later be plastered all over the front page. Her humongous ego couldn't stand up to Mr. Chomsky. It's like watching a house-cat trying to catch a bear for dinner. Fantastic interview.

She's being SO rude,wtF! He is such a champ!

they also cut off part of the interview - probably where she got pawned really hard.

Noam Chomsky of course argues in a brilliant way, whereas his brilliance, high consciousness and alertness shine through his very humble being. it is obvious that an "interviewer" like this woman , never comes near to level chomsky is on... worth mentioning is also the patient demeanour of chomsky!

I think she was won over by the end. She could feel the truth in his words, and I admire that.

We want to hear Noam Chomsky ideas, not the ideas of the interviewer! Every journalist knows that. Still, she keeps attacking him, interrupting him, and openly despises him.

When they film her the focus in on the flowers in the back, but he is in perfect focus. Makes her blurry and we focus more on Chomsky, he is in fact "sharper". I wonder if this is intentional.

Noam Chomsky must be the most unassuming person ever.

Chomsky has been an intellectual school. No wiles of debate have overcome the rigors of his self righteousness and morality..

Not an interview, more like, an interrogation , and , I am positive, Chomsky made sure not to enter Israel's jurisdiction and risk further complications . Good move Noam.

I think she's actually a better interviewer than most news channels in North America. Brave enough to challenge the person she's interviewing, but - unlike Oreily and Olberman - actually lets them respond. She was out of her league, but her general technique was relatively ok.

Indeed. It was really annoying the way she constantly interrupted Chomsky, which is a common reaction by the intellectually cornered. But the way Chomsky handled her without a hint of distress was remarkable. This man's acumen and insight warrants no explanation, but the way he does not get swayed emotionally by quite obnoxious interruptions and attacks is really impressive. What a mind.
