Description: 

Noted linguist and scholar of international relations speaks about his experiences growing up in Israel, and the current state of the society and its politics. Chomsky tells of growing up on a Kibbutz in the early 50's, the dominant role of East German immigrants, the potentials for Arab-Jewish cooperation. He goes on to discuss the political and military upheavals of the 60's and 70's, as Israel became the focus of Western diplomatic attention. He concludes by discussing how the Iran-Contra affair demonstrates the role of Israel in Middle Eastern and international affairs--to the point of being able to sell arms to Iran. Chomsky also points to the Intifada, in which Palestinians are battling for recognition within Israel.|ISRAEL : YESTERDAY AND TODAY / Noam Chomsky| interviewed by Larry Bensky. - Noted linguist and scholar of international relations speaks about his experiences growing up in Israel, and the current state of that society and its politics.
