The massacre has been described as the worst anti-Semitic attack in U.S. history. After the shooting, we spoke with Noam Chomsky, the world-renowned professor, linguist and dissident, about Pittsburgh, Israel\u2019s policies toward Gaza and other recent white supremacist and right-wing attacks in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AMY GOODMAN:<\/strong> This is <em>Democracy Now!<\/em>, democracynow.org,<em> The War and Peace Report<\/em>. I\u2019m Amy Goodman. We continue our conversation with Noam Chomsky. <em>Democracy Now!<\/em><em>\u2019s<\/em> Nermeen Shaikh and I spoke to him on November 1st. It was just days after a gunman shot dead 11 Jewish worshipers, October 27th, at a synagogue in Pittsburgh. It was the deadliest anti-Semitic attack in U.S. history. I asked Noam to talk about anti-Semitism and his own Jewish upbringing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His father was a Hebrew linguist.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NOAM CHOMSKY:<\/strong> When I was a child, the threat that fascism might take over much of the world was not remote. That\u2019s much worse than what we\u2019re facing now. My own locality happened to be very anti-Semitic. We were the only Jewish family in a Irish \u2014 mostly Irish and German Catholic neighborhood, much of which was pro-Nazi, so I could see it better on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>What we\u2019re now seeing is a revival of hate, anger, fear, much of it encouraged by the rhetorical excesses of the leadership, which are stirring up passions and terror, even the ludicrous claims about the Nicaraguan army ready to invade us \u2014 Ronald Reagan \u2014 the caravan of miserable people planning to kill us all. All of these things, plus, you know, praising somebody who body-slammed a reporter, one thing after another \u2014 all of this raises the level of anger and fear, which has roots.<\/p>\n<p>The roots lie in what has happened to the general population over the past 40 years. People really have faced significant distress. An astonishing fact about the United States is that life expectancy is actually declining. That doesn\u2019t happen in developed societies, apart from, you know, major war or huge famine. But it\u2019s happening because of social distress, and not necessarily impoverishment. The people who are demonstrating this fear and resentment may be even moderately affluent, but what they see is they\u2019re stagnating. In the past, there was \u2014 you had this dream: You worked hard, you could get ahead, your children would be a little better. Now it stopped. It stopped for the last 40 years as a result of very specific socio and economic policies, which have been designed so that they sharply concentrate wealth, they enhance corporate power, that has immediate effects on the political system in perfectly obvious ways, even to the point where lobbyists literally write legislation. This onslaught has literally cast a bunch of the population aside. They\u2019re stagnating. They are not moving forward. They see no prospects. And they\u2019re bitter and angry about it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AMY GOODMAN:<\/strong> And then, if you could talk about specifically the targeting of the Jewish worshipers, I mean, and the clear connection that the shooter made between this temple and HIAS, what\u2019s formerly known as the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, the group that has helped to resettle refugees of any religion for well over a hundred years? And he repeated words that Trump has begun using more and more about, you know, they\u2019re helping the \u201cinvaders\u201d come in. If you could respond specifically to that?<\/p>\n<p><strong>NOAM CHOMSKY:<\/strong> Well, I think it\u2019s pretty clear that he\u2019s whipping up terror about invasions, people pouring across the border to plan to kill us all, to destroy our civilization. You take people who are already somewhat disturbed and living under harsh conditions, this can incite them to acts of extreme violence against targets like the Jewish temple. All the anti-Semitic tropes are pointing in that direction, but most \u2014 also against Afro-Americans, immigrants, any vulnerable population or population that\u2019s easy to target for lots of cultural and historical reasons, all this amplified by the loud speaker up in the White House and his minions, who are doing what they can to terrorize the population, create the conditions under which you can get something like the attack on the synagogue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AMY GOODMAN:<\/strong> So, I wanted to turn, then, to a clip of the Israeli ambassador to the United States, Ron Dermer, who was interviewed by Ayman Mohyeldin on MSNBC on Sunday, so it was soon after the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RON DERMER:<\/strong> To simply say that this is because of one person or it only comes on one side is to not understand the history of anti-Semitism or the reality of anti-Semitism. One of the big forces in college campuses today is anti-Semitism. And those anti-Semites are usually not neo-Nazis on college campuses. They\u2019re coming from the radical left.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AMY GOODMAN:<\/strong> This is right after the white supremacist attack on the synagogue, and the Israeli ambassador to the U.S. is now injecting, saying this comes from both sides. If you could respond to this? Interestingly, two days later, when Trump and his family went to Pittsburgh, the only \u2014 and this is pointed out in <em>The New York Times\u00a0<\/em>\u2014 the only public official standing there to greet him was Israel\u2019s ambassador to the United States, Ron Dermer. People like the Pittsburgh mayor and the others said this was not the time to come.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NOAM CHOMSKY:<\/strong> Well, I think it\u2019s quite easy to understand. There is an alliance of reactionary repressive states developing under the U.S. aegis. Israel is a leading member of it. Saudi Arabia is another, one of the most brutal, regressive, harsh states in the world; United Arab Emirates; Egypt under the harsh, brutal dictatorship; the United States; Israel.<\/p>\n<p>And the United States, of course, very \u2014 especially under this \u2014 the alignment goes way back, but the Trump administration has gone way out of its way to lend support to Israeli crimes, Israeli expansion. And the Israeli right wing, of course, which is increasingly dominant, is delighted. So, the fact that, say, the Israeli ambassador would come out and say that is really no more surprising than the fact that John Bolton would praise the election of a strong advocate of torture, murder and repression. It all fits the same pattern.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AMY GOODMAN:<\/strong> This issue of the number of people who died this weekend, the horrific massacre \u2014 11 Jews died. The model of the coverage, of knowing who each person was, hearing their names, their life stories, their ages, who their families were, knowing when the funerals are taking place through the week \u2014 what about this being a model for what\u2019s happening in Gaza? I mean, for example, on, I think it was, Friday, six Palestinians were killed, with those ongoing protests near the separation wall. Israeli military has gunned down more than 200 Palestinians. That was Friday. Six Palestinians died. And on Sunday, three Palestinian teenagers were killed in an Israeli airstrike on the Gaza Strip. Your thoughts on Dermer trying to make this connection to get away from the issue of white supremacy and, somehow, someway, blame the left?<\/p>\n<p><strong>NOAM CHOMSKY:<\/strong> Well, remember, all of this in Gaza is being done with overwhelming U.S. support, even U.S. weapons, literally.<\/p>\n<p>Gaza is on the verge of becoming, literally, uninhabitable. The international monitors \u2014 U.N. and others \u2014 have warned that within just a few years, it may be literally unlivable. I mean, right now, there\u2019s virtually no potable water. The sewage pours into the sea, because Israel has bombed and destroyed the power plants and the sewage plant.<\/p>\n<p>Back in 2005, when Israel withdrew its illegal settlers in Gaza and moved them to illegal settlements in the West Bank, it imposed a siege on Gaza. The official terms for that \u2014 official, not making this up \u2014 are &#8220;We have to impose a diet on Gaza, not harsh enough so they\u2019ll all die&#8221;\u2014 implication being that wouldn\u2019t look very good \u2014 &#8220;but harsh enough so that they can barely survive.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And there have been \u2014 quite apart from the brutal siege, there have been repeated attacks on Gaza by the Israeli army. Gaza is virtually defenseless. This is one of the strongest armies in the world, lashing out to devastate Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s always pretexts. There are pretexts for everything. Hitler had a pretext for invading Poland: He was protecting Germany from the wild terror of the Poles. And the Israelis, with U.S. backing, have concocted pretexts \u2014 no time to go through it here, there\u2019s plenty in print about it. Every one of them collapses on inspection. It\u2019s just a punching bag.<\/p>\n<p>And the effect on the people of Gaza is to create utter desperation. The current march is just an attempt to somehow break the siege, make life possible. The problem could be overcome easily, simply by providing them with the opportunities for survival. That\u2019s it. Not trying to block every attempt at political unification of the factions. It\u2019s often been a pretext for another attack.<\/p>\n<p>Some of what\u2019s gone on \u2014 parts of it we\u2019ve seen \u2014 are just grotesque, like when a highly trained Israeli sniper murders a young woman far from the border who\u2019s trying to help \u2014 a Palestinian volunteer medic, young woman, who\u2019s trying to help a wounded man, and a sniper murders her. Highly trained snipers. They know what they\u2019re doing. The international monitors who have gone through the hospitals are shocked by the kinds of wounds they\u2019re finding, purposely designed to maim people so they\u2019ll barely \u2014 not kill them, but maim them, so they won\u2019t be able to have a \u2014 even take part in the minimal life that exists there.<\/p>\n<p>Actually, Trump had a solution to this, to the misery of Gaza and the prospect that 2 million people, half of them children, will soon be in a situation of, literally, beyond the possibility of survival. They had a lifeline, what\u2019s called the UNRWA support, international support, which was barely keeping them alive. So, Trump\u2019s reaction is to cut it, cut support for it. And he even had a reason. He said, \u201cThey\u2019re not being grateful enough to me for my efforts to give them the ultimate deal that I\u2019m planning.\u201d Ultimate deal, which means give up all your rights and forget it.<\/p>\n<p>I mean, the war in Yemen, which finally, at last, is getting a little bit of attention, has been a major horror story. The most careful estimates of the killing, that are now just coming out, show that there may be seven or eight times as high as what has been \u2014 the numbers that have been given. They\u2019re on the order of 70,000 or 80,000. The analysis of these Saudi-Emirate programs, a long study that came out of the Fletcher School of International Diplomacy at Tufts University recently, showed, quite persuasively, that the policies of the attackers are aimed at destroying the food supplies, making sure the population starves to death. They\u2019re also trying to close the port through which some supplies come.<\/p>\n<p>All of this is fully backed by the United States. U.S., and Britain secondarily, supply the arms. The U.S. supplies the intelligence for the Saudi Air Force, which is carrying out massive atrocities. All of these things are happening. For years, they\u2019ve barely been discussed. Now, finally, you\u2019re seeing pictures on the front page of starving Yemeni children, even a call for a ceasefire \u2014 much belated, little attention to our crucial responsibility for it.<\/p>\n<p>Just like our responsibility, which is overwhelming, for the plight of the miserable people trying to escape from the troika \u2014 Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala \u2014 the three countries that have been completely under our thumb and are suffering bitterly for it, now trying to escape. So we turn them into an invasion mob planning to destroy us. All of this is surreal. It only is overshadowed by the failure to attend even minimally to the literal existential threats, that are not remote.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AMY GOODMAN:<\/strong> Do you consider this one of the gravest times, in your lifetime, in U.S. politics, Noam?<\/p>\n<p><strong>NOAM CHOMSKY:<\/strong> It\u2019s one of the gravest times in human history. Humans have been around for 200,000 years. For the first time in their history, they have to decide \u2014 and quickly \u2014 whether organized human society is going to survive for very long. So, is it the most gravest moment in my life? Yes. But also in all of human history.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AMY GOODMAN:<\/strong> The world-renowned professor, linguist and dissident Noam Chomsky.
