Israel at it again

[Gandalf]

Yes, I have now slept and am back to my dictatorial ways. There was also a report from a couple of weeks ago saying that the Israeli's had blocked my beloved Chomsky from gaining access to Palestine. The delays meant that he was unable to deliver his lectures in the end. Why would you fuck with the time of a man in his 80's who does nothing more than talk? Elvis Costello also refused to go to Israel and cancelled previously booked concerts. Though he shouldn't have booked the concerts in the first place.

I'm not impressed with the muted US response in the slightest. What Israel did was awful, now just come and bloody say it was awful. Always hiding behind words!

A decent read

I came across this video I hadn't seen before with Chomsky talking a little about how the Israeli's were trying to stop him getting to Palestine. Now this woman conducting the interview seems to represent all those kinds of views that I hate so much. It's as though she has consumed a diet of propaganda ice cream non stop for a good 20 years or so. She is extremely offensive to me. I love Chomsky, he always keeps his cool and argues his rational point of view well. I would probably have got up and headbutted her. Haha, no I probably wouldn't have done that, but I would be quite rude.
