While in Lebanon visiting Hizballah leader Hassan Nasrallah, MIT professor Noam Chomsky gave interviews to several Arab media outlets, dispensing his especially virulent brand of moral equivalence to receptive audiences.
In this interview, from LBC TV on May 23, 2006, Chomsky says the policies of Hamas are “more conducive to a peaceful settlement than those of the United States or Israel.”
Oh, Hamas is bad, don’t get Chomsky wrong. He doesn’t approve of them. But they’re not as bad as the United States or Israel.
