Chomsky: Obama OKed Israel's Gaza war
Sat, 21 Feb 2009 11:30:24 GMT
Renowned US intellectual Noam Chomsky says Barack Obama did not comment
on Israel's war on Gaza, as it was part of a 'premeditated' plan.
We have been informed by an Israeli source that the recent invasion of
the Gaza Strip was completely premeditated, Chomsky said in an interview
with the French Al-Ahram daily.
The plan was to deliver the maximum blow to Gaza before the new US
president took office at White House, so that he could put these matters
behind him added the famous intellectual, referring to Obama's pledge to
resolve the Israeli Palestinian conflict.
While Israel was pounding the Gaza Strip and killing over 1300
Palestinian civilians, Obama excused his silence over the war, by saying
that 'There's only one president at a time."
This, however, did not prevent the then president-elect from commenting
on other leading issues of US domestic and foreign policy, Chomsky
argued.
The recognized political analyst also criticized Obama for repeating the
notion that defending Israel is a US priority.
