LAWRENCE: " "Noam Chomsky, the MIT linguist and public intellectual, a Jew long critical of Israeli policies, recently stopped in France after being prevented from lecturing at an Palestinian university in the West Bank, and observed that, 'Europe has always actually been more racist than the US.'" He was prevented from entering the West Bank by the Israeli Government who would not allow him passage. A fascist move on the part of Israel. If you doubt that anti-Semitism isn't stronger in Europe than anywhere else in the world (except perhaps the MIddle East), then there's not much sense in talking to you.
