Avram Noam Chomsky is an American linguist, philosopher, cognitive scientist, historical essayist, social critic, and political activist. Sometimes called "the father of modern linguistics", Chomsky is also a major figure in analytic philosophy and one of the founders of the field of cognitive science. Noam Chomsky describes himself as an anarcho-syndicalist and libertarian socialist and is considered to be a key intellectual figure within the left-wing politics of the United States.

Israel, a Middle Eastern country on the Mediterranean Sea, is regarded by Jews, Christians, and Muslims as the biblical Holy Land. Its most sacred sites are in Jerusalem. Within its Old City, the Temple Mount complex includes the Dome of the Rock shrine, the historic Western Wall, Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Israel's financial hub, Tel Aviv, is known for its Bauhaus architecture and beaches. 

The Israel lobby (at times called the Zionist lobby) are individuals and groups seeking to influence the United States government to better serve Israel's interests.

Through his contributions to linguistics and related fields, including cognitive psychology and the philosophies of mind and language, Chomsky helped to initiate and sustain what came to be known as the “cognitive revolution.” This framework included three parts: (1) the construction of formally explicit models of linguistic knowledge, (2) the search for general principles that could limn the space of possible grammar, and (3) the methodological assumption that grammatical knowledge and grammatical usage should be treated as distinct.

The United States has been fighting a full-scale air war against ISIS's campaign of terror in Iraq and Syria since 2014. Defeating ISIS is the Trump administration's foreign policy priority. The military's Operation Inherent Resolve costs US taxpayers more than $13 million a day.

Chomsky goes through some of the crimes of the post-war presidents. From 2003.
