RT talks to academic, linguist, and philosopher Noam Chomsky about the application for the UN to recognize Palestine as an independent state, Israel and the US? unstable domestic situation.
Noam Chomsky discusses the Wall Street protests in the US and says, ?It is about time for some protests. There is a lot of plain criminal activity like selling subprime mortgages, which you know perfectly well are not going to be repaid?.
He says that is what caused the financial crisis, but the banks are left ?bigger and richer than before, corporate profits are reaching record levels?, yet ?unemployment is at about the level of the Great Depression?.
In terms of Palestinian UN bid for full membership, Chomsky says, ?It is true that the US announced that it would cast a veto. Couple of moths ago they cast a veto at the Security Council?.
Chomsky says that Israel has a choice between security and expansion, yet it has been choosing expansion for decades, which it can get away with until the US, EU and other powers continue to support it, states the professor.
Chomsky highlights that it is Israel that is imposing a condition on negotiations, which is settlement expansion.
Palestinians ?know perfectly well that if they go back to meaningless negotiations organized by the US, then they can talk forever, meanwhile settlement expansion will continue?.
