THURS, Oct 1st: Noam Chomsky, KALW, 91.7fm, 11:AM-Noon, Your Call show (also archived)
San Francisco radio interview announcement/reference regarding Noam Chomsky, livestream, audio archive, comments and highly suggested articles.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Announcement:
THURS, Oct 1st: Noam Chomsky on KALW, 91.7fm/kalw.org, 11:am-noon, "Your Call" radio show (yourcallradio.org).
Listen over the air at 91.7fm or online at http://yourcallradio.org/ (see right-hand column: Listen to the show online) or at http://www.kalw.org/ .
Studio call-in lines:
local line, 415-841-4134 ;
toll free line, 866-798-8255
Audio archives are usually posted by 2:/2:30pm PST.
(Addendum: Anyone who intellectually and morally knows me knows that this announcement is hardly an endorsement of Noam Chomsky.
Although history is no stranger to "liberal/progressive/leftist" racism [while we still recognize that there is often at least latent sexism on the left], even among white leftist intellectuals and philanthropists, I'm often surprised that I, as typically one of the very fewest Americans of color in most white progressive/leftist venues, that "liberal/progressive/leftist" racism from these "liberal/progressive/leftist" icons [as with Chomsky mentee Norman Finkelstein] is typically _invisible_ to their overwhelmingly white audiences.
And while there are numerous (if still not enough) extremely courageous and remarkable anti-Zionist Jews..., as for what I call 'anti-Occupation' *Zionists*, or left *Zionist* apologists, Jewish icons -- who dominate the national/international lecture and media circuit discourse on the left (even on Democracy Now) in the so-called "pro-Palestinian rights [but never equality] movement" in America -- and their refusal to renounce political Zionism (be anti-Zionist), or even to publicly debate Zionism (a repugnant racist ideology), the *reason* for the well-over 60-year oppression of the Palestinians, one Black friend of mine in the Oakland 'hood succinctly summed it up this way: "Whites 'never' want to get to the *root* of the problem.")
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Btw, Chomsky's previously stated reasons for his opposition to BDS against the white-/Jewish-supremacist settler-colonial state of apartheid Israel exactly mirrors that of white conservatives in the U.S. in their opposition to BDS against the then settler-colonial state of apartheid South Africa (to which Israel, which supplied arms to S.A., and the Reagan administration were apartheid S.A.'s closest allies). Of course, these are all just rationalized, white/Jewish(whether from the right or the left) supremacist _excuses_, meaning I just didn't/don't want to see whites/Israelis economically hurt (although it's not like they'd be starving or living in rubble/shanties -- unlike, often, respectively, their victims):
1) The majority of the Israelis oppose it.
[since when do we ask the _oppressors_ if they oppose BDS!?]
2) it would be seen as anti-white racism (in Chomsky's words, as anti-Semitism)
[decades of the most atrocious brutal white-supremacist (whether Christian or Jewish) oppression and Chomsky claims that it would be seen as, in effect, anti-oppressor racism!!???; would, hypothetically, Chomsky have worried about a then BDS campaign against Nazi Germany being seen as anti-Aryan racism???]
3) It would hurt the very people you're trying to help.
[even though the *victims* of the white/Jewish/(religio)ethnic-supremacist oppression are calling for it!]
4) It would be a gift to the right-wing.
[as Jeffrey Blankfort has said, "_Chomsky's position_ on BDS is a gift to the right-wing", in Israel and the U.S., and to the Israel lobby]
5) There's not a national consensus.

~55 minutes of interview time today -- hosted by KALW General Manager Matt Martin -- on the "Your Call" show, KALW-fm, and only *1* slight side/tangential comment by -- and no question (from host, or callers, or email) to -- Noam Chomsky about Israel (/Palestine)!!???
And I *know* there were caller questions about Israel/Palestine.
No questions about Chomsky's longggtime opposition -- which he used to actually and openly *brag* about in the past -- to the international anti-apartheid style BDS (boycotts, divestements, and sanctions) campaign against Israel to at least put Israel's *worst* human rights atrocities in check!!???
No question to Chomsky on today's show -- which I sent an email (*twice*, then and *this week* before today's show) to Rose Aguilar, Sandip Roy and Matt Martin -- about Chomsky's *LYING*, the last time he was on the show, about how the South African anti-apartheid BDS campaign was started!!???: *LYING* as a way for Chomsky to try to head off an international BDS campaign against Israel.
How can a radio host -- hosting *Chomsky* -- not ask or allow any substantive questions about *Israel/Palestine* and the central, urgent, moral and critical issues on that and the nature of the ideologically Jewish/Zionist state!?
(I didn't bother to call in -- to just have Chomsky use his microphone advantage to LIE AGAIN and then go on to the next caller.
Btw, the presence of the Klu Klux Klan on the right-wing in the South, attacking white racial liberalism in general, didn't prevent Martin Luther King from criticizing liberal white racism from the left. See "Letter from a Birmingham Jail" -- available online.)
