The Spin

Progressive narrative

Noam Chomsky is one of the greatest intellectuals and social critics the world has ever seen. Both the father of modern linguistics and a staunch critic of American foreign policy, even in ill health Chomsky continues to be a beacon of hope and resistance for those in Gaza and beyond.

Conservative narrative

Chomsky's highbrow reputation is merely a veil for anti-Israeli hatred. Like many other infamous left-wing critics, the academic has for decades incorrectly used conflict in the Middle East as a template for an overly-simplified perception of a good versus evil — an oppressor versus oppressed world that simply does not match reality.
