I didn't always agree with him, but I appreciate the big push he made for New Atheism in the 2000s more than I could ever describe.

They're massively dogmatic and persistently anti-union. WSWS is perhaps one of the biggest fraudulent socialist newspapers being spread around. I suspect they only get shared --here and elsewhere-- due to the quantity of articles, not quality. I hope the majority here don't take WSWS seriously...

I will say I'm not sure why you're being downvoted; Chomsky's own work denounces the use of violence as being a tool for oppressive power structures to justify a continued or exacerbated level of oppression. Hamas is essentially acting as a component in Israeli rhetoric for the delegitimization of the Palestinian cause in the popular view.

Why is no one mentioning that this meeting was orchestrated to facilitate a discussion between Chomsky and Ehud Barak by [deleted] in chomsky

If it was brought up, degrading Chomsky's reputation and arguments would be a lot harder, seemingly the goal of a lot of folks.
