Welcome to Democracy Now , democracynow.org, the War and Peace report.
I’m Amy Goodman with Juan Gonzalez. Tonight we have a special evening.
In fact, it is unprecedented in our long history of unbiased news and interviews.

Our guest is the esteemed MIT Professor of linguistics, Dr. Noam Chomsky.
Amy: Good evening Dr. Chomsky
Noam: Good evening, call me Noam.
Amy: All right, Noam, Thanks for coming.
Noam: My pleasure.
Amy: Noam, I would like to ask you, your parents were Hebrew teachers and you yourself speak fluent Hebrew.
Noam: Yes, this is true.
Amy: Yet, you have you become one of Israel’s staunchest critics. Why is that?
Noam: Amy, it’s very simple. Very early in life, I realized that there is no God, and since I realized that, I believe all the world’s Jews should give up their religion and heritage and kneel down to their true messiah, Karl Marx. And maybe then, they will join the worldwide revolution to kill all the rich people, using non-violent direct action, of course.
Amy: Wow, you have it all figured out, don’t you?
Noam: Yes, I think I do, and Thank God (oops), I have tenure.
Amy: Good night and thanks for coming
Noam: The pleasure is always mine

Amy: Ladies and gentlemen, our next guest is the esteemed DePaul University political science professor Dr. Norman Finkelstein. Good evening Dr. Finkelstein.
Norman: Good evening Amy, it’s a pleasure to be here, call me Norman. And before we start, I would like to thank you for being about the first person you see on the Democracy Now homepage.
Amy: Norman, You’re welcome. You are one of my favorite progressive activists. I am really sorry to hear that you were denied tenure at DePaul.
Norman: Yes, Amy, I am very upset about it.
Amy: Do you have any ideas about why this happened?
Norman: Amy, I really don’t understand it. I got a job at a Catholic university. I spent every waking moment telling young impressionable Catholic students that Israel is the most evil nation on earth. That in fact it is so evil that it can’t be fixed. It needs to be liquidated.
Then, I told them that a “small percentage of Jews” have hijacked the American Government, Media and Business community and were lying to them about EVERYTHING.
And that Israel had nothing to do with Judaism, even though forty percent of the world’s Jews lived there. Then I traveled to Germany and Austria and went on the radio and told them that “Zionists” were sucking their blood from reparations, creating inflation and unemployment. My late mother, may she rest in peace, was very proud of that.
Amy: Wow, that is what I call peace activism!!!!
Norman: Then I told them that Jews are not allowed to commemorate their own history until every Arab in the world is 100% happy.
Amy: Yes, Norman, I agree with you, one hundred and ten percent. On Democracy Now, we never discuss Jewish history unless we are complaining about Israel. That way we don’t offend our Arab, Muslim or progressive viewers.
Now, what went wrong with your application for tenure?
Norman: Well, I don’t really know. They really liked me for six years. And then a lot of Jews complained.
Amy: Damn, I hate when that happens.
Norman: I believe Jewish people are not allowed to be offended by anything, except the actions of the Israeli government or Jewish republicans. Anything else is Neo-conservatism.
Amy: I agree. So, what plans do you have now?
Norman: I am not sure. I think I am going to try to find a university with an Anti-Israel studies department.
Amy: Don’t worry; there are plenty of those. Have you tried Berkeley?
Norman: No, not yet. But I will.
Amy: Goodnight and good luck.
Norman: Goodnight and thanks for having me.
