2
00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:17.640
<v Speaker 1>as debate surges around the Middle East crisis. In the

3
00:00:17.679 --> 00:00:21.359
<v Speaker 1>last twenty four hours, Several respected outlets, such as the

4
00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:25.679
<v Speaker 1>Foundation for Defensive Democracies have noted that voices like Chomsky's

5
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:29.440
<v Speaker 1>critical of Western and Israeli policy are being amplified in

6
00:00:29.559 --> 00:00:33.520
<v Speaker 1>Arab media coverage of the Gaza conflict. The focus is

7
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:36.399
<v Speaker 1>on how his long standing critique of US and Israeli

8
00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:39.759
<v Speaker 1>actions remains a go to reference point in the Arab world,

9
00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:43.079

00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:47.840
<v Speaker 1>October seventh attacks and sudden war in Gaza eclipses all

11
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:51.880
<v Speaker 1>other news. Chomsky's name routinely pops up as a selective

12
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:57.200
<v Speaker 1>anti Israel Jewish intellectual shaping the regional conversation, as noted

13
00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:01.079
<v Speaker 1>by FDD and others, though these tations are often to

14
00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:05.400
<v Speaker 1>his previous work or philosophy rather than fresh commentary. Released

15
00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:10.840
<v Speaker 1>this week that said, a major development, biographically significant and

16
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:14.560
<v Speaker 1>public facing is the release of Chomsky's new co authored

17
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:19.680

18
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:24.120
<v Speaker 1>Twenty first Century. According to the publisher Verso, and the

19
00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:27.400
<v Speaker 1>flurry of social media posts. This new volume came out

20
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:31.799
<v Speaker 1>just days ago, it's already generating conversation online, with left

21
00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:35.519
<v Speaker 1>publications like Jacoman magazine sharing news of the release and

22
00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:39.439
<v Speaker 1>urging readers to engage with Chomsky's perspectives on global survival

23
00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:44.439
<v Speaker 1>in politics. Early reactions across threads in Acts are mainly celebratory,

24
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:48.719
<v Speaker 1>emphasizing the unusual collaboration and the timeliness of the book.

25
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:53.239
<v Speaker 1>As world crises multiply on social media, clips and quotes

26
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:57.480
<v Speaker 1>from Chomsky's classic speeches, especially his withering critiques of Middle

27
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:02.079
<v Speaker 1>East policy and his statement on the relationship between power, rights,

28
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:05.480
<v Speaker 1>and wealth, have gone viral again in the context of

29
00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:10.400
<v Speaker 1>surging tension. In Instagram reel sharing, his twenty fourteen comments

30
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:14.479
<v Speaker 1>on Palestine is seen renewed interest as users revisit his

31
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:19.800
<v Speaker 1>arguments about international indifference to Palestinian rights, showing just how

32
00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:24.560
<v Speaker 1>persistent and relevant Chomsky's legacy has become in the digital discourse.

33
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:29.240
<v Speaker 1>Speculation about Chomsky's health or direct engagement with the latest

34
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:33.439
<v Speaker 1>war is making rounds, but so far, no reliable news

35
00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:38.159
<v Speaker 1>has confirmed any public appearances or personal statements in recent days.

36
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:43.840
<v Speaker 1>What is clear Chomsky's influence isn't waning. If anything, time

37
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:48.080
<v Speaker 1>and conflict only sharpen his stature as the public intellectual

38
00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:52.439
<v Speaker 1>people turn to for dissenting wisdom about power and justice.
