Noam Chomsky is usually right about everything.

What's wild is how wrong everyone else was at the time. It's sort of easy to be anti-Israel (for example) at this point, now. It's common, you see it at the Emmys, you see mainstream news reports about Israel starving Gaza, there's still a debate about it (for some fuckin' reason) but it's not like you only ever hear one side. At the time he was doing most of his work, he was the only one. He was like some kind of crazy subversive, he was very much infamous in American academia because he was constantly being "anti-American," he was accusing the US and Israel of committing terrorism, he was just in his own wild left field location, and he was the only one. There were a couple others, Howard Zinn and whatnot, but he was the only one who was known in any real capacity.
