Noam Chomsky by live link from the US discussing:

US strategy in Afghanistan + Why the US supports Israel
“I think Obama looks more aggressive and violent than Bush. The first acts to occur under his administration were attacks on Afghanistan and in Pakistan, both of which killed many civilians and are building up support for the Taliban and terror. He wants to extend the military side of the war.”

“it’s more than just symbolic that Gaza is being pounded by US jet bombers and helicopters”

“The American liberal community since 1967 has been mobilized at an almost fanatic level in support of an expansionist Israel, and they have been consistently opposed to any political settlement. …“It's not just the Jewish community… it's basically the intellectual community at large.
