Noam Chomsky provides another example of the superior moral sensibility for which he is justly renowned by stating that Hamas is preferable to the United States and Israel:

Personally, I'm very much opposed to Hamas' policies in almost every respect. However, we should recognize that the policies of Hamas are more forthcoming and more conducive to a peaceful settlement than those of the United States or Israel. So to repeat: The policies, in my view, are unacceptable, but preferable to the policies of the United States and Israel.
