Oh come on. Sullivan is right-wing asshole and everything he said about Chomsky is absurd. Chomsky is a scholar who is admired by more progressives than anyone else on the left and he was not booed. If you listened to Bill Mayer, he said he was requested by more people than anyone else he has had on his show. Simpson was booed and so was Sullivan and when not scratching his ass he was trying to put his head back there. The guy is a jerk.
Wesley is right. Many on the left were Zionists. Today they are post-Zionists. Zionism betrayed the left by becoming a victim ideology. As it was originally intended, to provide a haven from oppression, it worked but when neglected the rights of others it stopped being worthy and most definitely not deserving of being defended for that by the left. The left in Israel understands this more than you may realize. It isn't that the left is betraying Israel, it is the Israeli government and right-wing policies which has betrayed the left-progressive vision. It is understandable that you hate Chomsky. He tells the truth.
