Actually he here is saying the jewish lobby is one of the driving forces in the military-industrial complex that has taken over the US government dollars and is siphoning tax dollars.

He seems to definitely be saying the opposite as your title implies. This whole video is him calling out the jewish lobbying power's strong ties to the MIC, and how that is the main driver of US foreign policy and wartime action...

Here's one where he described the nebulous nature of being a Zionist. He was at one point an anti-Jewish-state Zionist youth leader.

He's an anarchist (which I'm not condemning), so he's anti-state in almost all situations.
Zionism in his view is apparently independent of a state.

Note: The interviewer seems surprised to hear this admission, and actually glances into the camera at this point. Which I find funny. To her credit, She quickly regains composure.

I should have clarified. I don't think that Chomsky directly supports the actions of the state of Israel. Just that he is a Zionist by his own admission.

I'm a fan of Chomsky's work, and generally agree with his world view. Not everything, though.

Where in the video did he say "Zionism is independent of a state"

He spent most of the video talking about how Israel isn't compatible with what he wants as a jew and how he feels zionism falsely speaks for jews as a whole.

He says he supported zionism back in the creation era of Israel, but now it's become simply an imperialistic Israeli nationalism ideology and he doesn't feel represented by it

He thinks the offical story of 9/11 is true.
