It's an abbreviation meaning roughly "with the help of God."
GP is either saying something neutral with respect to Chomsky's age or being snide. I'm not sure which.
- relaunched 2y agoMy first thought was snide / next level anti-Semitic trolling. But, then I reminded myself that you shouldn't infer tone to comments online.
- skissane 2y ago> My first thought was snide / next level anti-Semitic trolling Chomsky has been very critical of Israel, and as a result there are many pro-Israel people who strongly dislike him. So, while it isn’t impossible for Hebrew language trolling to be from an antisemite, my first thought would be it is from one of his pro-Israel critics
- euW3EeBe 2y agoTake a look at their comment history, and keep in mind that Chomsky has been openly critical of Israel for a long time.
- woodruffw 2y agoThat's why I wasn't sure which. Without that context, I could read it purely innocently (if a slightly weird choice). With it, it's probably snide, but who knows.
