@cgerrish hear him point to examples of events and people that he describes as “beautiful example”. Just have to get past flat impressions

@cgerrish Former: Me too. Latter: I dont.
@cgerrish me thinks you dismiss him WAY too easily. You obviously have a negative reaction to him. My two cents.
@cgerrish ” If you’ve heard him on anything, you have sense of his opinion on everything” can’t agree at all. Shortchanges his insight
@cgerrish the question is whether what he “scolds” about is accurate. I see your critique of his demeanor, but content is king
Chomsky is such a valuable, sane, insightful voice that needs to be heard and heard again, over and over. On almost everything.
Chomsky on whether tactics will help or harm the victim of the injustices against you apply them (around 13:00) http://t.co/6XOI12XkfI
Not opposing ISIS interv’t’n but converse: Are Reasons 4 ISIS intervention not also valid for #Gaza intervention(ie forbid Israel tactics)?
If U.S.had intervened in #Gaza & forbade Israel their tactics (a little late, granted, but if they had) then ISIS intervention consistent
but….U.S. won’t say that because we SUPPORT Israel and will not prevent them from what they are doing. Palestinians lives less important?
Obama’s description of atrocities happening that require our response could just as easily be describing what is happening to Gazans, but…
Disturbed by talk of how we should help the displaced refugees on the mountain (and we should) but not willing to speak of protecting Gaza
Obama voted vs UN call for investigation of human rights violations in Gaza. Voted AGAINST even investigating? Complicity defined.

Pro-Iraq invasion people: shut up about “should have left forces on ground”. Nice Monday morning QB on their own screw up that caused this
