Noam Chomsky: Obama's Stance on Gaza Crisis "Approximately the Bush Position"

Chomsky: Obama on Gaza is similar to Bush-1/3:

"Noam Chomsky: Obama's Stance on Gaza Crisis 'Approximately the Bush Position'

In a visit to the State Department Thursday, President Obama made his first substantive comments on the Middle East conflict since Israel's attack on Gaza. Obama first mentioned his commitment to Israel's security, without affirming his commitment to Palestinian security. He condemned Palestinian rocket attacks on southern Israeli towns, but didn't criticize the US-backed Israeli bombings of densely populated Gaza. But in a departure from the Bush administration, Obama acknowledged Palestinian suffering and said Gaza's borders should be opened to aid. We speak with MIT professor, Noam Chomsky."
