Request for Edit Revert on Israel-Palestine Conflict section

I do not own a wikipedia account, and am not interested in being an active wikipedia editor. I am requesting the reversion of the following diff:

- https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Noam_Chomsky&diff=prev&oldid=1191179667

on the grounds that the removed information was actually factually correct.

You can refer this article as source / evidence: https://wheredowestand.org/noamchomsky/ Mmdts (talk) 12:47, 18 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

Inaccuracy about his present condition?

This source https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/books/news/noam-chomsky-health-update-tributes-b2561064.html cited in the article claims "Mrs Chomsky confirmed reports in Brazilian newspaper Folha de S Paulo, that her husband had difficulty speaking and that the right side of his body is affected". Yet the sentence in the Noam Chomsky article claims he cannot communicate / walk at all? I'm sure hemiparesis renders many patients unable to walk but this is confusingly worded. Is clarification avaliable? ~2026-30571-74 (talk) 00:45, 22 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

"According to Chomsky, the U.S. was arming Ukraine only to weaken Russia, and Ukrainian requests for heavy weaponry were untrue "Western propaganda""

maybe should be reworded? a request cant be "untrue" ~2026-41095-47 (talk) 09:01, 23 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
