I think with the likes of Chomsky and Corbyn they believe, or want to believe, that the West, and America in particular, is the cause of all evil in the world, when it really isn't.

Really for people like Chomsky etc. it is all a tool for changing the politics of their own countries.

It's quite easy for them to turn a blind eye to a lot of bad stuff going on in parts of the world because events which don't have a western angle to them, are judged to be uninteresting to people here, and are largely under-reported.

IS came to our attention so much, and became impossible to ignore because of the terrible western hostage videos they put out.
