Thanks for the recommendation, will take a look at it. What I’ve read of Chomsky so far is often a critique of (mostly, but not exclusively) US Imperialism, so I’m curious what this person is arguing

Where did you pick up that Chomsky would be a Zionist? He’s actively working against the Apartheid Regime in multiple of his books

How?

Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse I think… I normally don’t re-read books, but made an exception for this one.

Tough choice though.
