Như Phương ...it's part of the US indoctrination, that has been programmed into the minds of US citizens for decades, by mainstream media and other methods. The US history books are written to promote the United States as a beacon of light that fights for freedom and democracy around the world. The United States has never spread an ounce of democracy, only dictatorships and terrorism. But ask the average US citizen about the CIA overthrowing democratically elected leaders of other nations, to install a dictators that allows US corporations to pillage and rape the resources of those nations, and those same US citizens will not believe you. Because they're never informed of the realities of their criminal government, so they *believe* the US is the greatest nation in the world. The US citizens are told lies on a daily basis, and it was not until the Internet really developed into what it is today, that US citizens are starting to be exposed to the corrupt and criminal acts of the US gov and its corporations. Take the Iraq war, and the lie that was broadcasted across all the US news networks, that Iraq had WMDs. It was all a manufactured lie by the criminal US gov, and the news networks pushed that lie to the US citizens. But how long before the US Empire enforces censorship on independent networks, RUclips channels and etc, will be interesting. RUclips has already censored videos that expose Israel war crimes by Abby Martin.
@@MarioPeeps Oh what twisty creepy logic. America has proxies too and so does Israel (America for example) but that doesn't stop them invading,bombing and occupying other countries. Google US military invasions since 1890 - it's clear America has invaded or bombed practically everyone. Israel being a monomaniac keeps bombing the same ones- Gaza and Lebanon. For either of them to accuse Iran of aggression is hilarious in a Monty Python way. Both Israel and America are nuclear armed of course so basically uninvadable except in a MAD scenario. National security is just an excuse to bomb and invade other countries. Iraq and Afghanistan for example. And so many others.
No they don't, these are independent groups that are affiliated with Iran on their fight against Western imperialism, not "proxies." Iran does not have a neocon foreign policy which sees others as pawns to be played with. As much as I disagree with their fundamentalist regime and think that the Iranian people have the right to resist it, in terms of foreign policy they are much more humane than the United States.

"Comparing to the US allies in the region, Iran looks like a Human Rights Paradise" its funny because the Iranians invented the 1st human rights script, and the word "paradise" is actually a persian word.
johnny roe you are the biggest ignorant in history. 1st, The jews are treated well in Iran, in fact Iran has the largest jewish community in the middle east after Israel. 2nd, you can be gay in Iran, but you are not allowed to show it on the streets, parks etc. Every muslim country including US biggest ally Saudi Arabia oppresses the gay people but I dont see the media telling the same thing about them; and the 3rd, I'm an atheist myself and I was many times in Iran and I had the opportunity to speak to lots of atheist people living in Iran. They live just fine without any problem. Please stop being an ignorant piece of shit and try to search before claiming false things you stupid fuck.

It is still a shithole for human rights, though, Ive actually met iranians who fleed because of persecution, because they are bahai.

This is because of islam. Iran doesnt recognize atheists and bahais as citizens, "Therefore, despite the fact that they constitute the largest religious minority in Iran, the Bahá’ís are a “non-recognized” religious minority without any legal existence, classified as “unprotected infidels” by the authorities.

abcde fghij You should ashamed of yourself!The Iranian regime has killed thousands of innocents people’s and put in jails hundreds of thousands during the course of its existence!
In 2002, 15 or so Arab-Muslim countries offered on paper, if Israel would go back to the 1967 borders and a two-state solution with capitals in East and West Jerusalem, they would give Israel full recognition, restore diplomatic relations and trade, but Israel rejected the offer. The offer is still on the table, but Israel still rejects it.
It happens EVERY YEAR at the General Assembly of the United Nations. The resolution is titled 'The Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine." This has gone on for nearly 40 years.
The "offer" is empty. It is never going to happen. Israel would lose part of Jerusalem. There would be thousands of refugees (on both sides) to deal with. And many other resource, holy site, and technical issues. And there is ZERO reason to believe the Muslim countries and Palestinians would abide and leave Israel in peace. It would just be giving them back land (that Israel won) while changing nothing for Israel. It's like the old saying "never give the devil an inch". You are talking about 2002 while conveniently ignoring 50+ years before that. Conveniently ignoring the original UN Partition Plan (from 1947) which was agreed upon by everybody except Arab leaders (who refused any negotiation). Conveniently ignoring the invasion and war started by Arab countries. Look at all of the land in the Middle East owned by Muslim Arabs. Israel had to take Jews as refugees from Arab lands... how about the Arab countries take the Palestinians as refugees? If they really cared about the Palestinian people they would have done that years ago. Instead, they use them as bargaining chips and weapons to try to destroy Israel and take over that land. That offer is on the table, but of course the Arab countries would never accept that.

This rough translation, I'm sure U understand what the phrase means, so, U'll get the meaning correctly according 2 English grammer. From Ahwaz Oil capitol of Iran.
The beauty of Chomsky's words (and of his superior enlightnment) is that they reflect reality despite western (or eastern) propaganda... Chomsky (like any person who had learned history correctly) just makes you think deeply about reality... He never defends a point like a bllind man, he shows you the facts putting in your shoulders the process of "digest" them, he meerly reffers to the facts and you are the one that must reach a conclusion... Chomsky is like Socrates, he dosen't make statements, he show you reality and then asks you questions in order for you to make the conclusions... He is a pearl, a very rare one...
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad never actually said Israel should be wiped off the map. This infamous phrase was a bad interpretation of a speech he gave in which he said something along the lines of "Israel is an unnatural creature than cannot survive." He was basically saying "it will eventually collapse upon itself". Honestly though, I don't consider him any different than Netanyahu.
No wonder Chomsky is never allowed much on mainstream media....his views are spot on. Mainstream media and general population especially American and Jews can't compute his ideas...to them he is talking Swahili.
Shall I Tell You Our Secret Shall I tell you our secret? We are charming thieves who steal hearts and never fail because we are the friends of the One.

Iran having so much history there where probably Americans would not want to attack them because there is the theory where I'd heard that Christian born in Egypt but maybe Mesopotamia is the birth place. So what it means to attack those kind of place and what it means making them so stimulated having a nuke
Has no one noticed the the obvious rhetorical deceptions that he always employs? The first being two wrongs make a right. Example: opening statement, if we're OK with Isreal having one,that was wrong, so we should take no action if anyone else wants one. Second: make a peripheral fact central: a minor un resolution against a two state solution when in fact the US has been pushing for a two state solution since the 70s. When he voices the Israeli concerned that Jews may leave Isreal because of the threat of destruction, he takes the concern of some minor Israeli analyst and moves it to the central position. If Jews were worried about the threat of destruction, there'd be no one there. He uses these two tricks,along with a few others,constantly. And then there's the outright lie,that Iran has never said that they desire the destruction of Israel, they've said it many times,both ayatollah and military leaders or my memory is completly shot.That being said,I believe he is correct in assessing that Iran will never use a nuke but why take the chance?
trump asked why the us werent using nukes before he was elected yout he won the election makes you wonder at the people that voted for such a man, and he was even hinting to use them against north korea which is rediculous
Wilfred Ruffian If the USA was serious about a 2-state solution they would cut off aid to Israel until they made it happen. Pigs will fly before that will happen, so that should tell you how serious Israel and their puppets in the USA are about a Palestinian state. The USA backs Israel with no conditions as they continue to expand their settlements. That tells you how much the USA cares about seeing a Palestinian state coming into being. The USA 'Middle East peace plan' different presidents have proposed over 50 years is nothing but political 'smoke and mirrors', as the Zionist agenda continues to roll along unimpeded behind the scenes.
Israel has tried to have a two-state solution multiple times. It's hard to do when neighboring countries don't recognize the existence of Israel. The US needs to stay loyal to its allies in the region. They've been good to us, we'll be good to them.

Noam failed to answer the question and flipped the question back and his comment was followed by applause. Iran is both a threat as much as it is threatened.
Maybe you missed some, but he said that Iran would be crazy to try to launch a nuclear weapon as it would mean their annihilation and that their leaders do not have a death wish...so not much threat it seems.
Chomsky is a linguist. Preaching to the converted. 1.1K comments by people/ trolls doesn’t mean what the Linguist said is right. Politics is complex. 1 comment out of 1.1 thousand may be enough to sway the argument against the “common” opinion. Social media can really, really suck.
This has been tried on him before. A physicist also may have extremely well-argued political positions which cannot be discredited simply by stating he's not a poiltical scientist. Most politicians are not political scientists anyway. And just because someone has received a degree in political science does not indicate his views are as good as facts. Roughly anyone who has studied history is permitted to possess political opinions and views. Chomsky makes a lot of sense with regard to his views, and most political scientists do not. Israel is indeed an apartheid racist state.
instead of criticizing those who are attempting nuclear armamentation .let s remove it all from every one who got it and try to live all of us in peace
His whole point is based on them being worried about dying for their cause. Sam Harris talks about how they don't fear death. Chomsky is assuming they care about dying for their cause.
I think Sams point is most people are afraid of death. Partly why Russia didn't launch anything in the cold war is because they knew they would all die too. But if dying for your religion in a "holy war" is the highest goal and gets you straight to "paradise", then the mutually assured destruction is no longer a deterrent.
You're implying that having a degree in some field means that you can't be a fraud. i can't help you with being more discerning than that. but, he never actually studied neuroscience. He went straight to PhD and his thesis was pretty laughable. but with money you can get around such formalities as review boards, it often happens. His being a fraud isn't controversial in the least. His books are the worst kind of pop philosophical tripe. Ask a neuroscientist if they think Harris is a neuroscientist. Don't take my word for it.
To your point, believe me, the people actually running Iran; their "cause" is the power of their country. They do not think blowing up the country is worth anything. Jesus this is a stupid discussion
In the last ~30years the western media keeps saying Iran is weeks away from completing a nuclear bomb. ......30 years later......so America, where is the nuclear bomb?
In USSR he’d be a proud member of Soviet antizionist committee. Then, when the country was falling apart and there was a threat of pogroms, he’d run to…
The fact that Iran would, in all likehood, want to attain nuclear capabilities for DETERRENCE and not for aggression is overlooked way too often. Still, it's sad that we live in world where nuclear weapons exist at all!
I mean nobody can predict the future right, I think Chomsky would say it's more useful to analyze history and learn from history vs trying to predict the future
1:56 "there are two countries that are not in a calling for this ___ to exist, but they're destroying it" I can't recognize the word(s) in blank; did anyone hear it correctly?

We have to find a way to ignore what the media throws out to destroy our candidates and resolve to vote for them regardless of the inevitable character assassinations until we have enough in power to change what has been broken.

We have not & will not develope nuclear weapons, as long as our leader, Emam Sayyed Ali Khamanei lives, because of his Fatwa-religious edict-that nuclear WMDs are HARAM that is according to Islamic Sharia-law- completely forbidden, not because USA criminals lies that, they are the ones, who hinder Iran to have nuclear weapons.

I love this guy he tells it like it is no BS NOAM

It's lovely to spit out BS when you don't live there...
What year is this from?

Wise powerful word from a great wise man
The beauty of Chomsky's words (and of his superior enlightnment) is that they reflect reality despite western (or eastern) propaganda... Chomsky (like any person who had learned history correctly) just makes you think deeply about reality... He never defends a point like a bllind man, he shows you the facts putting in your shoulders the process of "digest" them, he meerly reffers to the facts and you are the one that must reach a conclusion... Chomsky is like Socrates, he dosen't make statements, he show you reality and then asks you questions in order for you to make the conclusions... He is a pearl, a very rare one...
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad never actually said Israel should be wiped off the map. This infamous phrase was a bad interpretation of a speech he gave in which he said something along the lines of "Israel is an unnatural creature than cannot survive." He was basically saying "it will eventually collapse upon itself". Honestly though, I don't consider him any different than Netanyahu.
Noam chomsky is my hero. Such an integrity courage and intelligence. May GOD reward him.
Mainstream media won't show you this!
This man is a living legend. Says it how it really is.
Good heavens a smart and intelligent American on RUclips.. Who'd a thunk it.
Revisiting this. Hopefully this theory still holds up
He’s so softly spoken and calm but I’m sure his words cut some to the bone, why? Because he speaks the truth 🇮🇪
SUPERB
His words are gold 😄😄.
I love vhow the students are looking at each others and smiling while thinking "yep noam chomsky is a very smart cookie "
No wonder Chomsky is never allowed much on mainstream media....his views are spot on. Mainstream media and general population especially American and Jews can't compute his ideas...to them he is talking Swahili.
Legend 🙌👏❤
Norm states that if Iran used a nuclear weapon they'd be wiped out also applies to North Korea.
The Israelis should listen to the great Chomsky!!
Thank God, for such wise people as Noam Chomsky!
Chomsky has to Thank god for your stupidity
"Saudi Arabia makes Iran look like a civil rights' paradise!" Classic Chomsky.
That's called deflecting... Not hard to do...
This aged like fine wine.
Shall I Tell You Our Secret
Shall I tell you our secret?
We are charming thieves who steal hearts
and never fail because we are
the friends of the One.
The time for old preaching is over
we aim straight at the heart.
If the mind tries to sneak in and take over
we will string it up without delay.
We turn poison into medicine
and our sorrows into blessings.
All that was familiar,
our loved ones and ourselves,
we had to leave behind.
Blessed is the poem that comes through me
but not of me because the sound of my own music
will drown the song of Love.
Rumi
If American say Iran is a threat.
Well we Chinese don’t give a shit to what Americans are thinking of.
Iran having so much history there where probably Americans would not want to attack them because there is the theory where I'd heard that Christian born in Egypt but maybe Mesopotamia is the birth place. So what it means to attack those kind of place and what it means making them so stimulated having a nuke
Its like noam completley ignores the fact that iran has a bunch of hardliners.
Every country have some 😂
We love you Mr. Chomsky
His point on Israeli and the US position on Palestine looking even more vindicated these days.
Has no one noticed the the obvious rhetorical deceptions that he always employs? The first being two wrongs make a right. Example: opening statement, if we're OK with Isreal having one,that was wrong, so we should take no action if anyone else wants one. Second: make a peripheral fact central: a minor un resolution against a two state solution when in fact the US has been pushing for a two state solution since the 70s. When he voices the Israeli concerned that Jews may leave Isreal because of the threat of destruction, he takes the concern of some minor Israeli analyst and moves it to the central position. If Jews were worried about the threat of destruction, there'd be no one there. He uses these two tricks,along with a few others,constantly. And then there's the outright lie,that Iran has never said that they desire the destruction of Israel, they've said it many times,both ayatollah and military leaders or my memory is completly shot.That being said,I believe he is correct in assessing that Iran will never use a nuke but why take the chance?
trump asked why the us werent using nukes before he was elected yout he won the election makes you wonder at the people that voted for such a man, and he was even hinting to use them against north korea which is rediculous
Wilfred Ruffian I agree, the Iranian government is obviously hostile towards Israel... Their leaders even Tweet about destroying Isreal.
Wilfred Ruffian If the USA was serious about a 2-state solution they would cut off aid to Israel until they made it happen. Pigs will fly before that will happen, so that should tell you how serious Israel and their puppets in the USA are about a Palestinian state. The USA backs Israel with no conditions as they continue to expand their settlements. That tells you how much the USA cares about seeing a Palestinian state coming into being. The USA 'Middle East peace plan' different presidents have proposed over 50 years is nothing but political 'smoke and mirrors', as the Zionist agenda continues to roll along unimpeded behind the scenes.
Israel has tried to have a two-state solution multiple times. It's hard to do when neighboring countries don't recognize the existence of Israel.
The US needs to stay loyal to its allies in the region. They've been good to us, we'll be good to them.

Iranians are very proud of having many flourishing Synagogues, [ and christan churches] specially in Tehran and Esvehan.They really are beautifully maintained, too. Armani Dinnerjazz is long gone. Iranian` are not anti-jewish, simply anti-racist-Like many of us who see Netenyahoo as a laundered fascist, but love Einstein and Gershwin !
Chamsky is a true intellect. Please let him live
Those countries, that already have nuclear weapons, at least we know they aren't using them or threatening to use them (even Russia).
With Iran, we don't know if they will or will not - so let's not be "enlightened" about it - even though I get your point...
Persians ARE a gentle, intellectual people. Americans, on d other hand, think themselves gentle and intellectual...
Well answered actually
Wowwww unbelievable answer sir noam
This man speaks what alot of people don't like to hear...The Truth 😊
Wrong...
@@oscaru5342 I'm done sending messages from God to the Kingdom of the world, inwhich you belong and the majority of the people alive on earth right now....
Seek God's Spiritual realm and separate yourself from the world's system....

Start being RIGHT WITH GOD.
Brilliant! hes shut down that dippy broad!
yes , its a lot more powerful when its done in an articulate , respectful and knowledgeable way

Noam is amazingly insightful
This man is a jewel and we shud cherish him,lissen to.
الله اكبر الحق good is great this is the only truth anyone must know by heart
Every time I read or listen to this guy I get scared. He's the perpetual "emperor's new clothes" intellectual. That's scary.
What a genius! What a perfect answer. The only courageous man on this screwed up earth.
Noam failed to answer the question and flipped the question back and his comment was followed by applause. Iran is both a threat as much as it is threatened.
Everyone is a threat when they are threatened.
Maybe you missed some, but he said that Iran would be crazy to try to launch a nuclear weapon as it would mean their annihilation and that their leaders do not have a death wish...so not much threat it seems.
Chomsky is a linguist. Preaching to the converted. 1.1K comments by people/ trolls doesn’t mean what the Linguist said is right. Politics is complex. 1 comment out of 1.1 thousand may be enough to sway the argument against the “common” opinion.
Social media can really, really suck.
This has been tried on him before. A physicist also may have extremely well-argued political positions which cannot be discredited simply by stating he's not a poiltical scientist. Most politicians are not political scientists anyway. And just because someone has received a degree in political science does not indicate his views are as good as facts. Roughly anyone who has studied history is permitted to possess political opinions and views. Chomsky makes a lot of sense with regard to his views, and most political scientists do not. Israel is indeed an apartheid racist state.
instead of criticizing those who are attempting nuclear armamentation .let s remove it all from every one who got it and try to live all of us in peace
That was a devastatingly effective response
The most brilliant political analyst and intellect, at least of the last few decades.
His whole point is based on them being worried about dying for their cause. Sam Harris talks about how they don't fear death. Chomsky is assuming they care about dying for their cause.
Matthew Stancombe Sam Harris is a fraud with nothing to say about anything, least of all Iran.
What do you mean by a fraud. Like an actual charlatan? No degree? No areas of expertise?
I think Sams point is most people are afraid of death. Partly why Russia didn't launch anything in the cold war is because they knew they would all die too. But if dying for your religion in a "holy war" is the highest goal and gets you straight to "paradise", then the mutually assured destruction is no longer a deterrent.
You're implying that having a degree in some field means that you can't be a fraud. i can't help you with being more discerning than that. but, he never actually studied neuroscience. He went straight to PhD and his thesis was pretty laughable. but with money you can get around such formalities as review boards, it often happens. His being a fraud isn't controversial in the least. His books are the worst kind of pop philosophical tripe. Ask a neuroscientist if they think Harris is a neuroscientist. Don't take my word for it.
To your point, believe me, the people actually running Iran; their "cause" is the power of their country. They do not think blowing up the country is worth anything. Jesus this is a stupid discussion
Is Noam a woman beater because he smacked the $hit out of that woman.
based chomsky
Noam what are you talking about!?! do you really think Iran is not a threat for Israel and the west? it is unreal...
No cleric in Iran has ever called for nuclear Iran!
Another Chomsky masterclass..top draw
Thank you sir❤️
I love you Chomsky 😊
In the last ~30years the western media keeps saying Iran is weeks away from completing a nuclear bomb.
......30 years later......so America, where is the nuclear bomb?
In USSR he’d be a proud member of Soviet antizionist committee. Then, when the country was falling apart and there was a threat of pogroms, he’d run to…
Where was this filmed?
Haven’t even watched this yet but let me guess: americas the threat it’s all America’s fault
The fact that Iran would, in all likehood, want to attain nuclear capabilities for DETERRENCE and not for aggression is overlooked way too often. Still, it's sad that we live in world where nuclear weapons exist at all!
I feel like this guy is fantastic at talking about what has happened and the reality it’s caused . But not what is going to happen .
I mean nobody can predict the future right, I think Chomsky would say it's more useful to analyze history and learn from history vs trying to predict the future
Its a "thread" if it has oil. BTW Iran is the cradle of civilization hisotrically
Its EEE-RAAAN and not i-RAN !!
1:56 "there are two countries that are not in a calling for this ___ to exist, but they're destroying it"
I can't recognize the word(s) in blank; did anyone hear it correctly?
That are not only calling for some nation not to exist
We need to distinguish between the American government and the American people...the world governments are not really representing their people...we need to get rid of this practice...the people want to work and live comfortably...we don't need or want to be rich...we want to be safe
He thinks the clerics have not shown any inclination towards suicide. Sure thing, martyrdom never crossed their mind. Gimme a break.
On what ground would you say that civil rights are terrible in Iran?
tHEy mAke ThE wAmEN weAR HijaB thats why. anyone who says iran has no civil rights because it supposedly imprisons innocent people need to go to guantanemo bay and see how amazing the western civil rights are, unless you are muslim.
*When you live in a vacuum and have questions.
Somehow we the average people have to find a way to organize and act in a massive meaningful way that totally evades control by the moneyed interests. We have to find a way to ignore what the media throws out to destroy our candidates and resolve to vote for them regardless of the inevitable character assassinations until we have enough in power to change what has been broken.
Good Jews for JUSTICE!!
Iran left Israeli right to exist decision on Palestinian part ,they already said its up to Palestinian.
No one should be allow to have Nuclear Weapons. Not US! And Not Anyone Else! Yemen, Lybia and Afghanistan to mention a few!
sooooo, do we have a new up and coming chomsky somewhere? we kinda need it.
