I don't know about Chomsky being a Zionist, although certainly Jewish. Is there evidence of that? It seems like the positions that made him so credible were 100% against the New World Order. But I totally agree that his position on the unvaccinated is thoroughly disappointing. I'm attributing it to age and everyone having blind spots. BTW, love your moniker and its equalizing of both parties.

He spent time on a Kibbutz as a youth. He's stated publicly that he opposes BDS because it would threaten the existence of the Jewish state.

‘I am opposed to any appearance in Israel that is used for nationalistic or other propaganda purposes to cover up its occupation and denial of Palestinian human rights. I’ve been involved in activities to hold Israel accountable for its international law violations since before the BDS movement took shape. While I have some tactical differences with the BDS movement, I strongly support the actions and continue to participate in them.’

It's not like he EVER said anything else? Beware the trolls, round here!

Interesting. Sounds like I should attribute another blind spot to him on BDS. But I know he's been outspoken in condemning Israel's treatment of Palestine, isn't that true? Or am I misremembering?

Israel is so atrocious that there will always be incidents at the fringe that can be condemned to enhance one's own credibility.
