He openly admits to being a Jewish Zionist.

Source? I don't think that's true at all. He seems pretty anti-zionist, but he keeps his cards close to his vest.

I'll find it.

While I look. Here's one where he claims the Israeli lobby is insignificant..

It's completely absurd.

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...

Then he suggests that the lobby could be reigned in by wearing a suit and tie, and protesting the lobby to Goldman Sachs, and the weapons manufacturers.
As if that would quickly neuter the lobby. That's ridiculous, and he knows it.

Do you think that this lobby is a weak organization, with little or no government and corporate support?

Spot on man, Chomsky is minimizing/avoiding/calling it absurd. I'd like to see a clip where he directly addresses actual Jewish lobbying groups in the US.

That would be interesting.

He could tell them how weak they are.

They could brag to him about how they control the media.
