"I Hear You Knockin' But You Can't Come In"

This just in: Noam (formerly the Jew) Chomsky was sent packing today at the Allenby Bridge checkpoint when he tried to enter his favorite "Apartheid" state, Israel. Bravo! For the first time, Israel and the Netanyahu government might just be figuring out that allowing Chomsky to jaunt around the country and people he despises just might provide antisemites more incitement to kill. One of Chomsky's ardent admirers, Amira Hass, the Haaretz columnist and fellow antisemite reports on the incident. Hass, you may recall, was probably more instrumental in labeling Israel an "Apartheid" State than any other person. Married to a Gazan Arab, the self-avowed communist used to live there, but even she decided to pull up stakes after the Hamas takeover and replant her hatred in Ramallah where she pontificates daily for the Tel Aviv rag. According to her story,

Hass goes on to report,

That bet could taken up by at least a hundred people I know. For one, Sheikh Nasrallah of Hezbollah simply adores his writing as do the theo-fascists of Gaza, Syria, Libya, Iran ...the list just goes on and on.

In a typical Hass bowdlerization, she simply describes the virus from MIT thusly:

Chomsky's sophistry and outright lies applied to Israel over the past 40 years are completely missing from this puff piece. Remember it was during Chomsky's (illegal, under U.S. law) meeting with Sheikh Nasrallah in 2006 at which the sage of Massachusetts Avenue supported Hezbollah's acquisition of sophisticated rocketry for another eventual bombardment of Jewish civilian areas. Chomsky never met a Jew hater he couldn't warm to, including Norman Finkelstein or, most famously, the Holocaust denier, Robert Faurisson. (Professor Werner Cohn of the University of British Columbia literally wrote the book on Chomsky's abiding hatred of Jews and Israel, available here. It's lengthy, so you might just want to keep it bookmarked for future reference. Equally impressive is Paul Bogdanor's "Chomsky's Top 200 Lies," an equally impressive reference work.

Elevated to sainthood by the demented Left, Chomsky and his prognostications drip down like honey upon the eager college crowds, the same folk who secretly admired the 9/11 attacks (after all, the Jihadists attacked three targets - Wall St., The Pentagon and (although thwarted) The White House - three centers of American "imperialism" that the Left has been excoriating for decades, ever since C.Wright Mills' The Power Elite, was published in the 1960's.

Chomsky was scheduled to deliver an address at Birzeit University near Jerusalem. You remember old Birzeit U? That's the place that gave us Yayah Ayyash, "the Engineer" and lots more suicide bombers that murdered scores of Jewish men, women and children. Here's Birzeit's "confidence building measure" in celebrating the Sbarro Pizzeria massacre of 2001 (take note of the meticulously labeled "kosher" sign):

Martin Solomon adds: I was going to add that there is no P in Chomsky and there is no Chomsky in Israel, but unfortunately, the Israeli government is now saying it was probably all one big misunderstanding. Which is too bad, because as he's an American citizen, we're more or less stuck with him, but there's no reason any other government should be required to allow free access to such a figure as unremittingly hostile to its existence and unapologetically friendly to its enemies as Chomsky is to Israel's. Benjamin Kerstein has an eloquent must-read on the matter. It starts thusly:
