Noam Chomsky confirms on Al Jazeera English that Israel denied him entry...  Of course Israel will tell us that there was a "terrible misunderstanding" with Chomsky... just as there was a "terrible misunderstanding" when Biden visited Israel and Natanyahu stabbed him in the back with a declaration of new settlements in East Jerusalem... or just as Ban Ki Moon visited Israel and was also stabbed in the back..  as Israel just happened in a "terrible misunderstanding" to bomb UN quarters in Gaza... There are so many "terrible misunderstandings" in Israel..  It is truly heart-breaking.  Poor persecuted little Israel... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0vvaNM9J0U  (video) Noam Chomsky Denied Entry Into Israel Israel has denied renowned Jewish-American scholar Noam Chomsky entry into the occupied Palestinian territories over his anti-Israeli stance. At the invitation of a Palestinian official, Chomsky was planned to address the Palestinian Bir Zeit University in the West Bank on Monday. "He called us from the border to say he was stopped…," said Palestinian official Mustafa Barghouti. Chomsky was "denied entry because of his opinions and because he was against Israel's policies," AFP reported. "This act shows the nature of the Israeli government that is against freedom of speech, particularly from such a noted international figure like Chomsky." The 81-year-old senior academic has warned that Tel Aviv's preference for expansion over security "may well lead to" its self-destruction. He has also said that Israel is "essentially a US military base" in keeping with his vociferous criticism of the United States foreign policy and Washington's support for Tel Aviv.

By Amira Hass May 16, 2010 "Haaretz' - -Left-wing American linguist Professor Noam Chomsky was denied entry into Israel on Sunday, for reasons that were not immediately clear. Chomsky, who was scheduled to deliver a lecture at Bir Zeit University near Jerusalem, told the Right to Enter activist group by telephone that inspectors had stamped the words "denied entry" onto his passport when he tried to cross from Jordan over Allenby Bridge. When he asked an Israeli inspector why he had not received permission, he was told that an explanation would be sent in writing to the American embassy. Chomsky arrived at the Allenby Bridge at around 1:30 in the afternoon and was taken for questioning, before being released back to Amman at 4:30 P.M. Chomsky is a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and is considered among the foremost academics in the world. He identifies with the radical left and is often critical of both Israeli and American policies.
