a responsre to chomsky

What we want from Noam Chomsky | Gaza Gateway | Facts and Analysis about the Crossings: After this introduction, it might be easier to understand why we feel it’s important to respond to the article published by Noam Chomsky this week. Chomsky, a world renowned linguist, an intellectual and an extremely influential political activist, returned from a trip to the Gaza Strip and wrote about his impressions. We have no intention of arguing with Chomsky’s version of historical events, and certainly not with his personal impressions of Gaza. We will not offer our own analysis of the violence perpetrated by any of the parties to the conflict for reasons we have explained in the past. We will only address some of the issues covered in the article related to restrictions on movement, which, in our opinion, merit clarification.
