Noam Chomsky on Democracy Now

AMY GOODMAN: Today, we spend the hour on the Israel-Palestine conflict with two of the world's leading thinkers: former South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu and world-renowned linguist and author Noam Chomsky. They recently spoke at a conference in Boston sponsored by Sabeel, a Palestinian Christian organization. The conference was called “The Apartheid Paradigm in Palestine-Israel: Highlighting Issues of Justice and Equality.”

We begin today with Noam Chomsky, professor of linguistics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for over a half-century. Chomsky is the author of dozens of books on US foreign policy. His most recent is called Failed States: The Abuse of Power and the Assault on Democracy. Noam Chomsky spoke before a packed audience at Boston's historic Old South Church.

Amy Goodman, I herd her speak at an MPAC conference recently. Very influential speaker. I also have one of Noam Chomsky's books. I tried to read it but but the language used is not familiar to me so it's been layin in my bookshelf collecting dust.

I'll get around to it inshallah once I become familiar with the political terms used,
