Political analyst Noam Chomsky believes that Israelâs withdrawal from Gaza is actually meant to help it expand its land seizures.
| As we all know, true is actually false, up is actually down, and red is actually a pale shade of chartreuse in the Wonderful World of Chomsky... |
 In a brief interview on Wednesday with the Mehr News Agency, Chomsky said: âThe motives do not seem obscure. Gaza has been turned into a disaster area under the Israeli military occupation of 38 years. A few thousand Israeli settlers take a substantial part of the scarce land and resources, and have to be protected by a large part of the Israeli army. Sane Israeli hawks understand that it makes no sense to continue with these arrangements.
| Took 'em 38 years to reach that opinion, too. And they say Jews are smart. Good thing they're not as smart as Chomsky, or MIT would be in Gush Katif... |
The settlers who were subsidized to establish themselves there are now being subsidized to settle elsewhere, leaving the population of Gaza to rot in a virtual prison.
| Seething. Rotting. Plotting Dire Revengeâ¢... |
The few scattered West Bank outposts that are being abandoned are also simply an annoyance for Israel. The âdisengagement planâ is in reality an expansion plan, as was made plain at once. The presentation of the plan was coupled with an announcement of tens of millions of dollars for West Bank settlements and infrastructure development, a further expansion of the programs designed to ensure that valuable land and resources will be incorporated within Israel, while Palestinians will be left in scarcely viable cantons.
| Where they'll be seething. Rotting. You know the rest... |
| Lemme guess ... plotting? |
The shameful âseparation wallâ is one particularly ugly feature of these programs. The actions are gross violations of international law and elementary human rights, but can continue as long as they are supported by the reigning superpower. American citizens are the only ones who can put an end to these continuing and very severe crimes.â |
