ABSTRACT
The central theme of Noam Chomsky's anti-Zionist propaganda—the idee fixe that underlies all his books, articles, speeches, and interviews on the subject—is that the Jewish state must cease to exist. As the Arab armies invaded the new State of Israel, the secretary-general of the Arab League, Azzam Pasha, declared a war of extermination and a momentous massacre which will be spoken of like the Mongolian massacres and the Crusades. Chomsky's delusions about the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) were not shared by its victims. The American Lebanese League stated that the country had been "occupied by PLO terrorists" who committed an orgy of atrocities and desecration against women and children, churches and gravesites. Typical of Chomsky's methods is his portrayal of Ben-Gurion as a fanatical imperialist whose devilish designs mandated a Jewish state from the Nile to the Euphrates.
