'''Noam Chomsky''' (born December 7, 1928) is an American linguist who was a pioneer in [[Chomsky hierarchy|generative grammar]]. Later he became an extreme left-wing propagandist and genocide denier.<ref>http://www.jim.com/chomsdis.htm</ref><ref name="paulbogdanor.com">http://www.paulbogdanor.com/chomsky/labedz.pdf</ref> He advocates holding America to an absolute standard of ethics in foreign relations, but has not held such a standard elsewhere. He tends to ignore such violations by other countries, even when they have been far worse. Fellow liberal academic, [[Arthur Schlesinger]], once referred to Chomsky as "an intellectual crook." <ref>"He begins as a preacher to the world and ends as an intellectual crook." -- [[Arthur Schlesinger]] - ''Commentary'' magazine, December 1969</ref>

He is an institute professor of [[linguistics]] (Emeritus) at the [[MIT|Massachusetts Institute of Technology]] (MIT) <ref>http://web.mit.edu/linguistics/people/faculty/chomsky/index.html</ref> and the author of dozens of books on U.S. foreign policy. He writes a monthly column for The ''New York Times'' News Service/Syndicate.  His professed discoveries in linguistics that form the basis of his intellectual authority are treated as the springboard to the credibility of his political analysis but, perhaps surprisingly because of their wide renown, have not held up to close intellectual scrutiny.<ref>Collier, Peter and Horowitz, David (2004).

Chomsky is very critical of [[America]]n and [[Israel]]i foreign policy, sympathizes with [[Palestine|Palestinians]] and has shown support for the terrorist organization [[Hezbollah]].<ref>http://www.camera.org/index.asp?x_context=7&x_issue=11&x_article=1151</ref>  He has also been criticized for [[anti-Semitism]]. It should be noted that Chomsky comes from a Jewish family and in the past has spoken and written in Hebrew,<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=RKUbyYPG4mcC&pg=PA7&lpg=PA7&dq=noam+chomsky+%22jewish+heritage%22&source=bl&ots=_DSi5cwxKc&sig=xHoUkX3zV4_dFwO2Gb-xrIxMJbw&hl=en&ei=Bf8iS7-DB5CXlAeXx8zzCQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=6&ved=0CBoQ6AEwBQ#v=snippet&q=chomsky%20jewish%20family&f=false]</ref> but it is possible to argue that he is a self hater.
