Noam Chomsky, the prominent American academic and critic of Israel, has made his first trip to the Gaza Strip.

Chomsky, who is Jewish, is a professor of linguistics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is a frequent critic of American foreign policy and Israel's treatment of the Palestinians.

He was in the Gaza Strip for a conference at the Islamic University, according to Agence France-Presse.

"Our trip to Gaza was very difficult, but we arrived here and I saw several things which I hoped before to see," Chomsky said in remarks broadcast on Palestinian television from the university on Thursday evening.

In May 2010, Israel barred Chomsky from entering the West Bank, where he was to deliver a lecture. He finally broadcast his speech by video link from Jordan.
