Planet
Chomsky vs. Dershowitz’s Orbit: In The Zionist State
18 May 2010

The Israeli Interior
Ministry on Sunday denied entry to Jewish American
linguist Prof. Noam Chomsky turning him back from the
Allenby Bridge border crossing in the Jordan Valley.
Seemingly, the moral ash cloud that is pouring out of
the morbid Jewish ghetto known as Israel is not going
to clear. It is there to stay.
On the face of it, Chomsky’s border incident shouldn’t
take us by surprise. Israel is the Jewish state and as
such it operates as a synagogue of great magnitude.
The synagogue is an exclusive entity, it only allows
in those who fit. The synagogue is neither democratic
nor liberal, it is actually subject to tribal
judgments that have very little to do with ethics or
universalism.
In the Jewish State, Prof Noam Chomsky is apparently a
persona non grata, however, Alan Dershowitz, a shallow
intellect is seemingly the hero of Tel Aviv
University.
A week ago, during a University symposium, Dershowitz
said that Israel's biggest problem is Israel-bashing
‘Jews’ like Norman Finkelstein and Gilad Atzmon. He
said some people live on what he calls “Planet
Chomsky”. Dershowitz didn’t do his homework. Clearly I
myself share very little with Chomsky. As if this is
not enough, I am not a Jew for more than a while.

However, it doesn’t take a genius to detect a
continuum between Israel and Dershowitz. A week ago
Chomsky was a ‘planet’. Yesterday, at a Jordan valley
border crossing, he was denied entry to the ‘Jews only
universe’. The astronomy of the Jewish cosmos is
pretty simple. You do not need a Galileo figure. The
Jewish planet seeks total submissive tribal
conformity.
Interestingly enough, Chomsky is not exactly the harsh
anti Zionist figure that Dershowitz wants us to
believe. Along the years, Chomsky was flirting heavily
with Zionism. He was often visiting Israeli
universities. I myself attended his Tel Aviv
University lectures in the 1980’s. Chomsky was
spreading some bizarre ungrounded ideas defying early
Zionist commitment to the Jewish state. As American
activist Jeff Blankfort pointed out recently Chomsky
has been dismissing the power of the pro-Israel lobby.
He opposed the BDS movement and made some efforts to
“dissuade people from using the term, apartheid, to
describe Israel's control over Palestinian society”.
Chomsky also opposes the Palestinian right of return
and a one-state solution. Chomsky is in fact, a
liberal Zionist as well as a kibbutz enthusiast. He
may as well be the prototype of the righteous Jew and
Zionist fig leaf. And in spite of that Israel denied
the entry of the 82 year old American academic
Israel now admits that it made a mistake. In fact
Israel couldn’t inflict more harm on itself. As it
happens, Chomsky’s border incident yesterday may as
well be the biggest contribution the American academic
has ever made to the anti Zionist struggle.
As the truth of Israeli barbarism is unfolding, more
and more Westerners admit that time is ripe for the
nations to spit out Israel, for the Jewish state
doesn’t have room amongst nations. But the nations
shouldn’t stop there. Time is also overdue to spit the
Dershowitzes and other Zionist comic figures from our
public, academic, social and intellectual life. De-Zionification
is of the essence in the search for peace and
humanity.
