We begin our hour-long interview with world-renowned political
dissident, linguist and author Noam Chomsky by discussing the
Palestinian hunger strike. A tentative deal has reportedly been reached
to end a landmark action that’s seen an estimated 2,000 jailed
Palestinians go without food to pressure Israeli prison authorities to
end the use of solitary confinement and ease a wide range of
restrictions. "The hunger strikes are a protest against ... violations
of the elementary human rights," Chomsky says. He is Professor Emeritus
at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and author of dozens of books,
most recently, "Occupy."Video
