, the renowned Jewish American thinker, says Israel has committed "a major war crime" as it continues to attack the besieged Gazoo Strip.
Israel has been pressing ahead with heavy offensive on Gazoo amid international condemnation to stop the bloody onslaught which has claimed the lives of at least 1,700 Paleostinians. More than 9,000 people have also been injured since the beginning of the aggression nearly four weeks ago.
Chomsky told Press TV that Israel is much worse than the former apartheid regime in South Africa.
"Hospitals have been attacked repeatedly. Each one is a war crime. In fact, for Israel to fire one bullet across the border is also a crime. Trials for war crimes only apply to the defeated. Within the occupied territory, Israel's polices are much worse than apartheid," he said in a phone interview.
He said Israel faces economic isolation over occupying Paleostinian territories. He called for an arms embargo on Tel Aviv.
Chomsky also criticized Arab leaders for supporting Washington's pro-Israel policies in the past years.
