First, your remark about Chomsky being anti-semitic is a lie. Second, your labelling him as "far-left" is simply a diversion tactic, as is bringing up "9-11 truthers." Third, you are grossly simplifying and misrepresenting Chomsky's basic argument. Nowhere has he said we must "agree" with al-Qaeda or any Islamic terrorist organization. In fact, that's why he sensibly spoke against the support America gave to the radical Islamic Mujahideen (also, he condemned the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, and the Soviet Union quite generally, so he didn't play the "lesser of two evils game"). Chomsky is not dishonest enough to regard 9-11 as some kind of historical cut-off point, or pretend that the US (and Britain, France, Germany and others) were "leaving the Middle East alone" until a certain day. These countries were all very heavily involved, as anyone with a hint of integrity would note and regard as a key source of problems in the region.
You are not alone in lying about such positions, of course. And we'll likely see disastrous consequences because many are unwilling to look at the facts and draw what you'd call "far-left" conclusions from them.
