Noam Chomsky analyzes the three-year anniversary of October 7th, arguing that Israeli society’s support for the Gaza war stems from deep-seated racism and bloodlust rather than security needs. He highlights a paradox in U.S. politics: while Gaza has become a viable electoral issue, universities have capitulated to pressure by suppressing free speech. Chomsky also dismisses claims that Israel ignored intelligence warnings, attributing the attack’s success to Israeli incompetence and last-minute Hamas decisions, while noting that Israel now seeks to expand its military dominance into Iran.
