what crap...whose history? that is exactly what holocaust "deniers" would say to rationalize their position, that the historical record - the one they believe, not the one you believe - leads them, unmistakably, to conclude what they conclude...
and in very limited readings of "them", I've found no denial of the slaughter of jews and the brutality of jew haters, but only of the circumstances,numbers and "facts", and their use by all manner of propagandists on all sides...
this kind of garbage is of the bigoted "everybody knows" school...like "history", and "the facts" reveal - clearly - that stalin killed thousands-millions-tens of millions or perhaps hundreds of millions (pick your historian), or that jenin was a massacre, or only a killing of fifty terrorists ( pick your fact collector)...
there may be some relative truth to be found in these matters, but when it comes to some areas, like holocaust denial, communist genocide, etc, there is little hope for clear thinking and only various and sundry forms of bigotry and narrow mindedness that is far more religious and superstitious than scientific...
and chomsky, when he is wrong, is vastly superior, intellectually and morally, to the macro morons, with their micro morals, who endlessly snipe at him for daring to criticize the established rules of hypocrisy they support... fs
