It is my first time to watch this youtube and I heard Ms. Amy Goodman talking as the moderator for this session. She is such a wonderful intellectual woman and moderator. She is as good as the main speaker.

It's not antisemitism it's criticism of criminal actions of a state!

[tomdron]

His comments around 50:00 about how support for Palestine amongst young people in the US was slowly growing were evidently true, support for Palestine right now is higher than it’s ever been.

Amy Goodman you are a great moderator and I have witnessed your emotional attachment to the Great Professor Noam Chomsky ... Thank you so much for your work and deeds to bring the truth and facts to the public domain at a time the mass media narrative is biased towards the the Israeli occupation.

How so very nice to learn that NOAM CHOMSKY stood up with EAST TIMOR - I’m so Happy, so VERY Grateful ! My Parents never made it possible to return to the place they loved the most… Down to Fascist Governments as they can create too much pain.

I might now be able to take their remains back to where they belong: EAST TIMOR !

This video, despite being older, is so true after so many years. Nothing has changed. The world has changed, not in Ghaza, though!!

[josephtraficanti]

Noam Chomsky is not only a person of honor, and integrity. He is what few men can become.
Here is one man who has become an institution.

[kennethmarshall]

36:42. He explained Israel’s policy perfectly and we might be seeing it coming to fruition now

[maria.s]

What really matters is freedom and dignity of people who struggle for recognition and acceptance as people of a particular territory.

[DianeEllis-mlii]

This was 8 years ago. Things have become worse and worse since then.
