Chomsky Embraces Hezbollah

MIT professor and far left polemicist Noam Chomsky has embraced numerous violent and despotic radical movements and regimes over the years, including even the Khmer Rouge. Now, the Grand Old Man of anti-Americanism has found a new object for his affections: the Iranian-sponsored Lebanese terrorist organization Hezbollah.
MEMRI has the details, including quotes from Chomsky himself.

Hezbollah is second only to al-Qaeda among terrorist movements in terms of the number of Americans it has killed. It is openly anti-Semitic and anti-American, and its objective is an Islamic world subject to the Shia version of Islamist totalitarianism. If the US is forced to resort to military action to keep Iran from developing nuclear weapons, Hezbollah can be counted on to attack American interests at Tehran's behest. The organization is active right now in the United States.

That Chomsky would decide to support Hezbollah is yet further evidence of his moral and intellectual vacuity.
