Why Israel is in deep trouble: John Mearsheimer with Tom Switzer

- US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said on 29 September 2023 that “The Middle East region is quieter today than it has been in two decades.” That all changed on October 7 when Hamas attacked Israel, which unsurprisingly invaded Gaza to destroy Hamas.
After more than six months, it appears to many that Israel is losing its war in Gaza. At the same time, Israel is fighting Hezbollah on its northern border, relations between Jerusalem and Washington are strained, and the International Court of Justice has ruled that a plausible case can be made that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
Meanwhile, there is great danger of escalation across the region, as the fighting between Israel and Iran makes clear. Indeed, there is a possibility the United States, which is already fighting the Houthis, might end up in a war with Iran, which neither country wants.
What might be the lasting consequences of these conflicts? Who will emerge weaker and who stronger? And what does this crisis mean for U.S. foreign policy in the region, Ukraine and East Asia?
Next in our Greater Middle East Debate Series, Bret Stephens will be taking a very different stance on the Israel and Palestinian conflict on 18 June in Sydney and 20 June in Melbourne. Get your tickets: www.cis.org.au/event/bret-ste...

As an orthodox jew, I condemn the terrorist acts and war crimes of Israel. I support the creation of a free and independent Palestinian state. This will end all the violence. As Jews we need to accept that Israel is the occupying force and we need to do the right thing and give Palestinians their own independent state free from Israeli interferences. CRITCIZING ISRAEL ISN'T ANTISEMITISM!!! JUDAISM HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ZIONISM !!!!
I'd bet money that you aren't Jewish but Islamic. Spreading lies like all of them do.
You? An orthodox jew? 🤣🤣🤣 Give me a break.
A quick search on Google shows you are a "Lebanese actress, she studied accounting. She participated in Children of the Deputies, And Action and Rehearsal."
Judaism and zionazism has nothing to do with Shem . it's an insult to Jesus and Christians
As a black South African, I thank you for your humanity. I do not understand how people can treat their dogs better than they treat other human beings 😒 💔. Not all Jews are evil, racist Zionists as heroes like Joe Slovo and Albie Sachs etc. showed us in SA
Exectly 💯

Sorry... Palestine didnt exist. That is just a name Rome gave to Israel after they invaded in 70 AD. I know you think you are so smug but you dont know history. It was under the Ottomans who were not even Arab from 1517 to 1917 and there was never a Palestinian state. The Arabs who call themselves Palestinian came to the area after 1880 (not the Bedouins who today are citizens of Israel and serve in the Israel military).
You are naive.
After spending almost a decade in SE Asia. I am dumbfounded. No one. No one ever. Ever. Discusses Myanmar. It’s as if the genocide and ongoing civil war is non existent.

Henry Kissinger is an evil man himself. You should take what he says with a grain of salt
It has never been a symbol of hope, it was a genocidal settler colonial project even 70 years before the creation of the settler state
He meant the optics looked bad , I don’t think he cared at all about the atrocities Israel was committing. Kissinger was a warmongering scumbag too.
I remember John arguing in 2004 that the winner of the war in Iraq will be Iran not U.S. and everybody laughed at him.
Yup. Because after the fall of Saddam, Iran had more influence on domestic politics inside Iraq.
It's a shame that those who are right never get credit for being right, yet those who were wrong and are responsible for making and promoting eventually disastrous policies are never held to account and often get promoted, and enjoy long careers

Is there any treaty the USA hasn't broken? Ever since the Treaty of Tripoli, the USA has broken arrangement after arrangement to suit themselves.
It’s hard for the Americans to admit that AIPAC is ruling the country on both domestic and foreign policy.
And the us is ruling the lapdogs such as australia canada uk etc etc. so aipac is ruling many countries in the west.
I have been saying this for months

I agree. It is about time they stand up to the bully.

In what way? Every bit of archeology in Israel is evidence of Jewish presence for thousands of years. (Coins, inscriptions, towns, cities). Not a single thing shows anything else. Have you seen Jordan Petersons interview with the son of hamas founder? How do you explain an Egyptian stele from the 9th Century BC that identifies Israel by name? Or a canaanite one mentioning king David from the house of David, in the land of Israel?
Everyone used to kno this stuff before globalists used the tech to deceive and create chaos in order to install one world governance once they've used the oppressor vs oppressed narrative to get those who bought into it to tear down the old world so they can literally own the planet and everyone on it.
the world is fed up with anti-American bigots who are always in the need of a scapegoat to explain every problem i
And still, america is the greatest country that earth can ever have.
OMG John Mearsheimer is truly a pleasure to listen to. I never knew about him, but he is such an eloquent speaker. I can listen to him indefinitely. Thank you for being such a great person and speaker.
I'll second that✌🇵🇸
Large portions of the Iranian populace never wanted a medieval theocracy.
And I really don't think there's a bigger gift you can give to a gerontocratic oppressive theocracy with a faltering social base than giving it an opportunity to look dynamic and righteous against an existential threat.
Indeed, they wanted and had a secular democracy back in the 1950s, that made the "mistake" that it wanted the proceeds from Iranian oil to stay in Iran. Hence it was overthrown by the US and British "intelligence" services and replaced with the brutal monarch "The Shah" who clung desperately to power despite being hated by the oppressed people until he was finally toppled in the revolution in the late 1970s, resulting in the rise of the clerics.
You should blame the west for overthrowing their democratically elected government, just like some 40 other countries with oppressive regimes
Just saw him here in Sydney in person literally 48 hours ago. He is well worth listening to.
😅
He sounds like an idiot to me. Just spewing out Hamas propaganda. Nothing more.
Aus is 100% US b*tch, regardless of any issue, as with Assange & Dan Duggan [see recent Australian Citizens Party with Daniel Dumbrill].
He's Ok within his limitations.
Is he tall dude?
There is no debate, this man just told us the hard truth..
This man is full of crap. If you want to believe crap and listen to it, that is your right.
@@robertbrown7470 We watch the war on our phones, live. And it is all crap, unfortunately. The most documented war ever.
@@robertbrown7470 Agree with you. Having a teaching pedigree or author title doesn't necessarliy make the guy correct. And frankly i would be happy to argue and debate his suppositions. He is not correct about GAZA as an open air prison nor does israel want to ethnically cleanse the Arabs. That is BS. But he says it with aurhority no matter how misplaced his points are.
@@dmf30there are several quotes by the Israel command and ministers that make the professors point for him though
The Zionists don't want us to know this. They'll deny it. The world sees, however, the psychopathy of Israel.
Prof Mearsheimer is Brilliant & bold, with amazing Strategic Clarity on winners & losers in what is the most significant event in the Middle East in the last 50 years, since the October 1973 Arab-Israeli War!
So many of us were scratching our heads about the US Invasion of IRAQ in the first instance and everything since then!?
Why can't we have plain spoken discussions like this on mainstream media? The cowardice is disgusting
The mainstream is run by billionaires, and the country is run by billionaires. They all know each other its all fake.
Western mainstream media is doing a disservice to their audience by lying that Ukraine is winning and well supported by NATO. This is an era of advanced information technologies... malicious lies will boomerang to hurt the West more than it can imagine.
Why? Because MSM is owned by the powers that be. Truth not only hurts but is a threat to them. Yet ignoring the truth will have greater negative consequences in the end.
Because our mainstream media is too coward to face the Zionist lobby to bring the truth to the American people.
read John Mearsheimer's book called the Israel Lobby.
No notes! He doesn't need notes. John Mearscheimer was born to teach. He imparts understanding. He wraps his mind around what's actually happening . . . and he breaks it down for us. No commentator is more insightful or more honest.
Cringe-the whole thing has been regularly rehashed globally for 6 months or so; bar a few minor developments. There are hundreds of experts on the matter and the history who are far more refined in revelation and argument.
@@brutallyremastered4255 Yet, you offer no examples or counter-argument. Nobody does. Dr. Mearsheimer is correct about the Russia-Ukraine war as well, and all you offer is fact-free and evidence-free analysis.
@@brutallyremastered4255there are not that many experts on the history of Palestine and its political consequence，that being said，most researchers who studied deeply in this area basically agree with what John says here，you can simply read the quotations of John‘s book and articles
@@brutallyremastered4255no, not true. First of all, there are not hundreds of experts.Further, Mearsheimer is not a historian like Ilan Pappe, but history is not the aim of his talk. He focuses on the wider geopolitical aspects of the conflict and he is the master when it comes to that.

Im a 63 yo American white christian (context) who was a strong supporter of Israel since college. I am the typical (non jewish) American demographic of an ‘Israel supporter.
That all changed for me about 4 years ago, when I started digging and found the work of the Israeli new historians, Miko Peled, Pappe , etc. I have to tell you that learning all that was like a gut-punch to me.
When one was raised to love &’believe in something like Imwas about Israel, to find out it was almost all a lie, well , its like coming home early and finding your spouse in bed with someone else. It wasnt just ‘new information’, it was a betrayal. And now since Gaza, my worst nightmares have been realized about Israel.
Ive often said of late, Netanyahu’s Epitaph will read: ‘ Imam the man who destroyed the state of Israel’.
Our college youth know the truth now was and will not tolerate it. And they’re learning how the Israeli lobby is behind their governments using the police to attempt to destroy their free speech &’assembly rights. This generation will not support Israel into the future.and if aisrael thinks its going to ethnically cleanse Gaza they are delusional.
Thank you for sharing and for opening your mind. It’s sad that so many can not 😔
Thank
You
Perhaps you should visit Israel and find out for yourself. The "New Historians" are of the same ilk as the American self hating academics that are destroying this country. They don't care about actual history. Read en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_1619_Project
The post 1945 paradigm has brainwashed so many in the West into uncritical support for Global Zionist power.
WOW I'm glad you use logic and understanding instead of blindly just following.. Malcolm X said "if you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing..." it's true about what's happening now 😢
Main stream media never talks about how Netanyahu actually supported Hamas’s rule in Gaza. How professional!
Yes... I have been thinking this for a while. Netanyahu himself explained why he supported Hamas... This is not a secret, yet never communicated in the western world...
You're not going to do that thing where you remove all responsibility from Palestinians. How racist. They're not capable of thinking for themselves are they? Its Israel is it? That's why they attacked?
@@uncoiledfish2561 that's how you think if you really don't try to understand. When you're born in Gaza your life expectations are basically watching the others around you develop and stay into misery for your entire life. Any population, regardless of religion or culture would rebel in that situation. How coward is it the blame the poors for their rebellion? These poor people should just stay poor and watch us control them !
Yup and piers Morgan will NEVER SAY IT ...only constantly ask do you condemn hamas ??????...why don't u ask the man who funded hamas
Maybe Netanyahu believed them in the first place allowing for a peaceful coexistence? He may have misjudged Hamas, an Iranian proxie,too late.Now Israel decides!
This is very good. However, what sources indicate that the US and Iran spoke following the attack on their embassy and before to the retaliatory response?
"The apartheid system in Israel is worse than the apartheid system in South Africa" John Mearsheimer.
"Complete bullshit". Me.
There is no apartheid in Israel, and it minimizes the experience of the South African black community. That was said within the last year, by Gayton McKenzie, who is a minister IN THE SOUTH AFRICAN GOVERNMENT. And he is black, btw. I think he would know better than John Mearsheimer.
@@katzino27You’re both simpletons. It wasn’t a quote from Mearsheimer, it was him quoting Desmond Tutu, a South African bishop. By the way, he was black too.
@katzino27 south africa as a nation are accusing israel of aparthied at the ICJ. You quoting a a bank robber doesn't trump that
“We as South Africans sense, see, hear, and feel to our core the inhumane discriminatory policies and practices of the Israeli regime as an even more extreme form of the apartheid that was institutionalized against black people in my country,” said Vusimuzi Madonsela, South Africa’s ambassador.
@@katzino27See ICJ last week: e.g. Israel acts against Article 3 of CERD (=convention against race discrimination and apartheid) 🥳

anyone remember when Netanyahu said there were WMDs in Iraq?
He also said Iran was on the verge of destroying Israel.
Check what the IAEA has said... in terms of fission material,they're there. In terms of delivery systems, they're there. In terms of detonation and guidance they're at least halfway so to say Iran could send a nuke on Israel is a little more than half true... Eeve not seen any nuclear detonation from Iran that I'm aware of so that's the last step... Dyou want to see the Ayatollah and regime in Iran w a nuke?

Who didn’t think so?
A tin horned dictator pretended that he had WMDs.
Saddam I really don't know the reasoning behind... Ghaddaffi though, it was about the dominance of the dollar 💵... Lybia actually had more Gold bullion and the idea was to create an 'African Union ' with a common currency backed by said Gold ... In short; He had to die...
Remember, we were 'leading from behind' at that time and allowing the French and Italians to do what they, 'thought best' ... Aren't there 2 or 3 different governments claimed in Libya?

thank you Prof Mearaheimer. In Germany, you couldn't be able to give such a lecture as they would cancel you for beeing "anti-semitic".
Their guilt of the WW2 holocaust is now leading them in supporting another one.
Unfortunately, Germany still feeling its guilt of the Second World War and the allowing Israel to commit an equal atrocity on the Palestinians because of it.
Compared to the usual reasons people have been getting canceled lately, Antisemitism is a good one.
Germany is over.

What has happened on October 7
I really enjoyed how Tom tried ,desperately, to frame the narrative ( using israeli propaganda talking points including racist tropes such as rape/beheading) and Mearsheimer answers eloquently with facts and actual political analysis.
The man is just trying to put food on his table. Dignity, morality, and a sense of decency can go to hell.
These liberal think tank institute people present their agenda as fact/truth. Anything else is merely a difference of opinion. It creates the illusion of democracy. As if genocide were debatable.
Exactly. How can he use the already debunked justifications that the entity and its mouthpieces have already had to walk back.
@@user-et2ng1qb2m - Exactly! Even Israeli news channels stated it was nothing but pure lies..
The false narrative can no longer be manipulated. So many people has learned the history of what caused these atrocities and are no longer willing to provide the needed excuses to maintain the status quo

Because you are a vassal state of US imperialism, Cobber.

It’s easy to win an argument especially when ur the only one speaking on the stage
As comrade Stalin said in the Anatoly Rybakov novel, “No man, no problem”. That is the Jews’s policy
This should be subtitled to every language. Great work.
This entire presentation is a tragedy of deception and hot bubbling horse manure. _1)) “Israel is an Apartheid State”. As a South African and someone who proudly voted and stood up against the apartheid government, and who has visited Israel - I can say that this is a fowl lie. In Israel, Arabs&Palestinians can vote, are in parliament, have access to the same health care and are even in the Israeli military. THIS WAS AN UTTER IMPOSSIBILITY in apartheid South Africa. _2)) “Israel wants to ethnically cleanse”. As a nuclear power, Israel has had the power to wipe out every living Palestinian for many decades now - has it? Since 2005 when Gaza became sovereign- their population has steadily increased by over 40%. This is the polar opposite of ethnic cleansing, and yet this Mearsheimer has the gall to use the same term used to describe the Holocaust and Rwandan genocide! _3)) “After giving Gaza to the Palestinians, Israel immediately turned it into an open air prison”. Actually before making Gaza autonomous , both sides signed many peace agreements. Literally 3 months after gaining sovereignty, the Gaza Palestinians began firing death rockets at Israeli civilians. The result? Israel instituted protective measures. Then more rockets were fired, resulting in ever increasing spiral of security measures such as strong borders, barricades , blockades etc. (To date, over 100 000 rockets fired at Israel). Israel forcefully and painfully removing its own people from their homes and communities and giving Gaza COMPLETE autonomy was the ultimate test of ‘will a two state solution work?’. Make no mistake that with all the international funding and donations , Gaza could have easily become a mini Dubai by now with a vibrant safe economy. However with Hamas unceasingly calling for the murder of every living Israeli man woman and child and instituting this as their state policy, THEY CHOSE a different future for themselves! _4)) The great buffoonery of John Mearsheimer is that he treats this conflict as a territorial dispute, and a political dispute. NOTHING could be further from the truth. The majority root cause of the entire conflict is because of what the Palestinians are heavily invested in - and that ladies and gentlemen is ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALISM/EXTREMISM. There is good reason why the largest security wall on the border of Gaza has just been built, not by the Israeli’s but by the Egyptians. That’s right, it’s because the Palestinians aided and supported an ISLAMIC EXTREMIST group called The Muslim Brotherhood against Egypt’s government. The Palestinians have long chosen the worlds greatest sponsor of terrorism and brutal tyranny- the Islamic Republic of Iran as their mentor and sponsor. _______ THE FUNDAMENTAL ROOT CAUSE OF THIS ENTIRE CONFLICT is EXACTLY THE SAME as the EXTREMISM that flew the airliners into the Twin Towers ; that stole and raped 300 Nigerian school girls (who’ve never been seen again) ; that slaughtered so many in the France and Belgium terrorist attacks ; that bombed and set fire to churches in the Philippines, that murdered so many innocents in the Kenyan shopping mall attacks ; that beheaded dozens of Coptic Christians in Egypt , that annihilated entire towns and forced thousands of Kurdish women into sexual slavery - THE LIST GOES ON AND ON , and will continue until all the worlds infidels either convert or die. _5)) But as ‘genius’ John Mearsheimer says, let’s blame EVERYTHING on Israel

Mearsheimer was one of my professors in grad school. I cannot emphasize enough how sincere and well-meaning this man is. He makes every effort to be objective in EVERY foreign policy analysis. He is a model academic -- interested only in getting to the truth, to the best of his ability. And despite his genius, he is astoundingly down to Earth, approachable, and generous with his time. If you disagree with any aspect of his analysis, so be it, but please know that the man is a model of personal and academic integrity.
I honestly felt that shine through this whole video beginning to end, especially at the end responding to the questions from the students. He seems so kind, genuine, and sweet. I'm really happy to have been accompanied by him the past hour and a half. I'm very grateful for his work.
Thank you for your comment! I appreciated hearing a little more about him.
You can hear how level headed he is
I agree with him on this, not on Russia being justified in invading Ukraine.
He cherry picks history to fit the idea box he creates for himself. His idea that Russia is not Imperial nor has Imperial designs is flat out wrong. He doesn't admit he's wrong either because that would be a downgrade to his brand. A democratic and economically thriving Ukraine is a fundamental threat to Putins regime. This notion about NATO expansion is total bs .. yet your former prof readily spews this idea. Sweden / Finland are now in NATO - why ? Because those countries fear Imperialist Russia as do the Baltic states. Mearshimer is a broken man.. same with his wrong take on Israel / Palestinian conflict. "Drive them out". He should be able to site actual statistics on that .. if that was the plan ... "ethnic cleansing" there should be less Palestinians in Gaza and West Bank than a decade ago .... except thats not the case. He's an anti-semite cloaked in academia.
He was on of my professors when I was an undergrad at UofC. The first and second year he taught there. Very, very thoughtful and correct analysis at every step. Intellectual honesty through and through, unlike some other academics.
People talk about the Hammas attack on Oct 07, 2023. But forget on Sep 22, 2023 Benjamin Yetanyahu addressed the UN Assemby about a New Middle East and a map that had no Palestine and everyone clapped basically giving Yetanyahu their blessing to proceed.
When Mearsheimer says “It’s important to understand” you quickly realize, it is the end for you 😂
Exactly

and when he starts to 'dance' left and right you know that truth bombs are coming
He says that every two minutes. He thinks everything he says is important to understand.

Its refreshing to hear geo politics discussed not in a manner of 'what should be' but rather 'what is, and what will happen'.
The "Is/Aught" principle
Indeed .. and this approach relates to everything in life. If we want a different kind of world, we need this 'new' way of thinking, not among the elites but among the masses.
If Reagan couldn't do it , who can influence a two state solution in isreal
Realism will set you free.
Netanyahu, Biden and Zelensky could all do with a wee dose of realism. Sadly all three rely on narrative and that is the antithesis of realism.
Trump is a realist, it's the only way to be successful in making a deal. It is also why he and Putin get on. Putin has no patience for fantasy, only realism.
Statistically, 58% of the people in the comments section know that in their own lives "what should be" is weight loss and more exercise, but they can't manage that. Easier to get online and tell a country on the other side of the world they don't have they right to self-defense.
This is a fascinating presentation and one that I will continue watching. Totally as an aside, the presenter's voice and cadence is very similar to Lewis Black's so I felt like i was listening to to him the whole time which was an odd juxtaposition of content vs delivery.
To talk about this issue you gotta get the historical facts right. You lost me in the first 5 minutes.
As usual, Mearsheimer presenting with clarity! Thank you CIS for presenting this invaluable contribution to public discourse!
Protest rallies at university campuses in the US, Canada, Britain, and Australia against what (let there be no mistake about this) are the undeniably disproportionate responses by the Israeli Defense Forces [IDF] upon Gaza, for the heinous barbarism Hamas militia forces initiated on October 7, reached fever pitch in the last two weeks of April, and into May. However, it is also an undeniable reality that, Hamas’ strategists, were 101% certain Israel’s rejoinder to what its militia initially inflicted upon unarmed Israelis on October 7, would be met with the ferocious responses, which have transpired.
Therefore, the only conclusion to draw is that, Hamas’ military strategists willfully launched that gruesome attack on October 7, knowing full well Israel would respond ferociously. Essentially, Hamas was fully prepared to inevitably sacrifice the lives of many thousands of Gazans, in order for it to win the PR war. And there are two strands to contend with here.
First, they knew it was absolutely certain that the millions of Muslims currently residing in Western countries (which accrues to be in the vicinity of 30 million people) would culminate with them rallying en masse to stage pro-Palestinian, and anti-Western protests.
The second trait of its plan, was with banking upon gaining the sympathy of leftoid liberals in Western spheres: by way of manipulating their mindsets with seeing an unending parade of suffering in Gaza.
Well, the latter facet has certainly come to fruition, and prevails with leftist-leaning education federations in Western nations calling for ‘solidarity with Palestine’, and the ‘eradication of Israel, and its inhabitants’. However, these same entities haven’t summarily condemned the extreme barbarism that Hamas perpetrated on October 7, with callously massacring at least 1200 unarmed people, and raping numerous women.

@@willyupshawwatch the video
@@willyupshaw I think he means when the host pulled the "hasbara" propaganda points of Hamas involving itself in mass r*pe, burning people alive and other stuff that has been debunked many times now.
It's a growing trend amongst western status quo pundits, pulling a hoax through sketchy media and capitalizing the fact that it'll stay as a debate weapon despite the media who emitted them having had to retract themselves.
@willyupshaw Some people are just filling in the gaps. The acclaimed professor did what any professor does-young or old-they speak with great confidence as though they are an expert on the matter, whether it is true or not, and captivate people.
I agree with you that he didn't dismantle much. In fact, he didn't bring any actual arguments at all. Most of his speech was, "I think X because Y said Z."
Who is B'Tselem? Should we trust them?
What is the definition of apartheid? What are the horrible TikToks that Israelis are supposedly sharing?
No information was shared, just pure opinion where much is left to the imagination.
@@shplukYou only need eyes to recognize the qualifications for his arguments are in plain sight. He actually did use factual arguments, pointing you several times towards apartheid reports by three separate organizations as well as the South African levies of genocide amidst other dozens of other sources (I think an auditory bibliography would have really eaten into his speaking time, don’t you?). And Israeli drone strikes on civilians and civilian infrastructure are actually being posted on official Israeli social media accounts. As well are footages of the carnage and devastation inflicted on innocents and especially children from within Gaza. And again, Israel publicly flaunts its own atrocities, so this is really not a matter of misinformation if you are at all familiar with the situation, is it, shpluk?
It is a common attribute of being well-read and knowledgeable on a subject to be able to speak with great confidence, and also to recognize when you don’t have answers as John demonstrated here.
John Mearsheimer is brilliant because he understands history, lacks religious prejudices, has common sense, is unafraid to be cast out by the power elite, and communicates simply and honestly.
Really? He said that Putin would have to an insane idiot to invade Ukraine. How did that prediction turn out?
He is sorely lacking when it comes to China and has a lot of national/western prejudice and is an American exceptionalist(ie he is a war hawk) when it comes to China.
@@drmodestoesq That prediction turned out exactly as he foresaw, dr cherrypicker.
A lot of what he says here I can follow. Him blaming NATO for putins folly I can not follow
@@ex0duzz Yes, I agree his stance on China is disappointing but perhaps is consistent with his view of great power politics. For a pragmatist, he is not without a moral sense as evidenced by his frank assessment of Israel's genocide and US complicity.
I wish the direction of the discussion lead more in the favor of the speaker; it’s blatantly obvious how they try to readdress the issue to favor Israel and American positions.
They call you a conspiracy theorist if you use certain terms, but if you present the case in an academic way, they will basically admit to what is happening. And it is so obvious what is happening that few can deny it.

This entire presentation is a tragedy of deception and hot bubbling horse manure. _1)) “Israel is an Apartheid State”. As a South African and someone who proudly voted and stood up against the apartheid government, and who has visited Israel - I can say that this is a fowl lie. In Israel, Arabs&Palestinians can vote, are in parliament, have access to the same health care and are even in the Israeli military. THIS WAS AN UTTER IMPOSSIBILITY in apartheid South Africa. _2)) “Israel wants to ethnically cleanse”. As a nuclear power, Israel has had the power to wipe out every living Palestinian for many decades now - has it? Since 2005 when Gaza became sovereign- their population has steadily increased by over 40%. This is the polar opposite of ethnic cleansing, and yet this Mearsheimer has the gall to use the same term used to describe the Holocaust and Rwandan genocide! _3)) “After giving Gaza to the Palestinians, Israel immediately turned it into an open air prison”. Actually before making Gaza autonomous , both sides signed many peace agreements. Literally 3 months after gaining sovereignty, the Gaza Palestinians began firing death rockets at Israeli civilians. The result? Israel instituted protective measures. Then more rockets were fired, resulting in ever increasing spiral of security measures such as strong borders, barricades , blockades etc. (To date, over 100 000 rockets fired at Israel). Israel forcefully and painfully removing its own people from their homes and communities and giving Gaza COMPLETE autonomy was the ultimate test of ‘will a two state solution work?’. Make no mistake that with all the international funding and donations , Gaza could have easily become a mini Dubai by now with a vibrant safe economy. However with Hamas unceasingly calling for the murder of every living Israeli man woman and child and instituting this as their state policy, THEY CHOSE a different future for themselves! _4)) The great buffoonery of John Mearsheimer is that he treats this conflict as a territorial dispute, and a political dispute. NOTHING could be further from the truth. The majority root cause of the entire conflict is because of what the Palestinians are heavily invested in - and that ladies and gentlemen is ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALISM/EXTREMISM. There is good reason why the largest security wall on the border of Gaza has just been built, not by the Israeli’s but by the Egyptians. That’s right, it’s because the Palestinians aided and supported an ISLAMIC EXTREMIST group called The Muslim Brotherhood against Egypt’s government. The Palestinians have long chosen the worlds greatest sponsor of terrorism and brutal tyranny- the Islamic Republic of Iran as their mentor and sponsor. _______ THE FUNDAMENTAL ROOT CAUSE OF THIS ENTIRE CONFLICT is EXACTLY THE SAME as the EXTREMISM that flew the airliners into the Twin Towers ; that stole and raped 300 Nigerian school girls (who’ve never been seen again) ; that slaughtered so many in the France and Belgium terrorist attacks ; that bombed and set fire to churches in the Philippines, that murdered so many innocents in the Kenyan shopping mall attacks ; that beheaded dozens of Coptic Christians in Egypt , that annihilated entire towns and forced thousands of Kurdish women into sexual slavery - THE LIST GOES ON AND ON , and will continue until all the worlds infidels either convert or die. _5)) But as ‘genius’ John Mearsheimer says, let’s blame EVERYTHING on Israel

Bravo -- you are bringing the truth forward.
I agree with most of what Mr Mearsheimer argues. The one thing I would disagree with is his contention that America wants peace; it doesn't, America wants compliance. And these two things are not synonymous.
Yes, the Obama Administration is the best friend terrorists ever had, in his third term as President.
It's one of those nuances that typically get lost due to the shortness of the format.
I would argue that the Biden administration preferentially want compliance in the region, if this isn't achievable a acceptable peace also would do. What's acceptable is a whole other can of worms.
The US has toppled democratically elected governments in favor of authoritarians that are pro-west many times before
Yes, peace I'm not sure. I've always heard it said that colonial occupiers require constant division and chaos. I mean if they all just made friends over there then there wouldn't be desperate allies willing to work with you, support your interests. Not to mention the profits of military industry.
@@stefanscally4449 I would highly recommend George Friedman's non-fiction book on the USA titled "The Next 100 Years: A Forecast for the 21st Century". Essentially he agrees with you with respect to division and chaos. His main thesis is that the US has adopted a policy of knocking down rising powers in order to keep its own position. It was published in 2009 so I think what he got wrong is that in recent years the USA has not just maintained its position of power but gone backwards due to its foreign and domestic policy failures. A great read though.
