Why Israel is in deep trouble: John Mearsheimer with Tom Switzer
Vložit
- čas přidán 16. 05. 2024
- 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...

bizarre comment Palestinians get more and build rockets and tunnels. You happier with that ?
@@gailbirkett7831 USA totally isolated
Foreign ministers from 13 countries have signed a letter warning Israel to halt its ground invasion of Rafah and to allow more aid to reach the Palestinian population.
The letter was signed by the foreign ministers of the G7 states: Germany, France, the UK, Italy, Japan and Canada, as well as their counterparts from Australia, Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, South Korea and Sweden.

I had a go at the Egyptians we all know how did that end israel lost sinai desert@@user-ww9to8jn4c
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.

Even in my thirties, I am having my faith in America undermined in ways I didn't realize I had still trusted.
Very well put, same here
America will rise again. Have faith
That was me 15yrs ago - the more you look the worse the u.s. looks. You start to see the atrocities like Iraq alongside atrocity after atrocity, political assassinations just like in dictatorships, etc. etc.
@@wornsharp You're infected by 1% of your population with vastly different values than the rest of your country. Your government and corporations are trying to social engineer not just you, but the rest of the world into accepting radically different concepts and we're not having it. Your whole system has already been undermined. Your faith is irrelevant.
Deep
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
@@alexpartridge3317 Because the truth is threatening to power so guys who say whatever they want to hear are promoted to the top. It is also the pattern of late state Empires when the castles and courts are filled with clowns dancing around inept "leadership. "
The truth is, America initially invaded Iraq to break the Sunnis' grip on power and transfer control to the Shiites. This transformation was expected to usher the Muslim world into a sectarian conflict, weakening both sides. As a result, it would provide America and the West with significant opportunities to meddle in the region's affairs and sell large quantities of weaponry to their allied regimes. Above all, it would distract Israel's enemies with unending factional wars.
Yes, he was right. Which is why you'll NEVER see him on the lamestream Propaganda media.
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 💯
The 'host' or 'presenter' was trying so damn hard to paint Israel's actions as acceptable or necessary. What a tool! Hats off to John Mearsheimer for replying in the best way possible to all his loaded questions.
I love this guy. His honesty is so refreshing compared to all BS you get from the US and Israeli governments.
This is not anything like the true situation. Bad propaganda will be the death of us all!

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
Conservative loves to be ruled by AIPAC. It's their kink
@@matthummel8306 AIPAC got skin in every aspect of American life to be honest. Media, Entertainment & politics.
Zionists are behind the destruction of the US First Amendment and the vast 10 million+ person invasion, the Porn business, Wall St., media etc.
Saw a documentary made by Israel TV about Gaza some years ago. What was interesting is how terrible life was there. In the film an Israeli Truck driver tries to make a delivery into Gaza through the many checkpoints. He does this route daily. He gets pulled out of his truck and beaten by the soldiers and he keeps asking for “The Major - get the Major”. Eventually the Major shows up, has a discussion while the soldiers get in a few more kicks and rifle butts - and they let him in. Then onto the ambulance they turn back with patients, school children trying to get to school and people trying to get home from work or vice versa. Just a descent into insanity.
Millions of dollars to Gaza and instead of spending it on infrastructure and making the coastline a resort area to bring in revenue, Hamas spent it all on weaponry and propaganda, pursuing hatred instead of making the lives of the Gazen Arabs better. How sad.
Why would soldiers beat an Israeli?
@@financialfrontlines Because they hate Israelis?
I am quite sure the documentary was about West Bank and the person was not an Israeli.
Nobody was going in or out of Gaza before October 7, as far as I know.
@@financialfrontlinesprobably because they know him and see him as a traitor maybe I'm guessing, otherwise we need the video source to really know
Israel probably has a tight-knit tribalism within their society that brainwashes them to not feel guilty - thus this uncontemplative and shameless behaviour from a good portion of their people
It's like history is repeating itself or something for the Hebrews idk
So refreshing to hear there are Americans out there with critical thought. Mearsheimer and Noam Chomsky are rare gems from the USA and it is a shame that their own country do not hear them.
I did not hear the professor point out to the audience that no Jews could live In Gaza under Hamas rule. Jews could not work in Gaza, vote in Gaza, hold office in Gaza. Gaza, under Hamas rule, was an apartheid state. Jews, in fact, were subject to being murdered under Hamas rule - so they all left, understandably. In contrast, Palestinians in Israel can vote, they can work in Israel, they can serve as elected officials, they can sue in courts, and they are afforded the same constitutional rights as Israeli's. In his remarks the professor continually talked about Israel being an apartheid state, which is not true, while covering up what should be obvious - that Gaza under Hamas rule was the "real" apartheid state. Only Palestinians can live in Gaza - Jews could not, if they tried to live in Gaza - when Hamas was running the show - they were subject to being murdered - just because they are Jews. The typical Palestinian hates the Jews because they are are Arab and not Muslim. The typical Palestinian wants the state of Israel to be destroyed, they want the region "ethnically cleansed" of all Jews. Yet, this professor keeps talking about Israel wanting to "ethnically cleanse" the Palestinian people. The professor, in fact, is doing what the left now does a lot - he is making up lies and falsehoods to smear the side he doesn't favor. The fact is most most Palestinians support the genocide of the Jews. The Jews want to live in peace, the Palestinians , most, want to murder all Jews. (70% approval rating of the atrocities that took place on on Oct. 7th). The Professor here, quite obviously, has taken sides in his views on the conflict, he has aligned himself with the leftists who claim, falsely, that the ews are genocidal and racists. It's the other way around.
The world is fed-up American's hypocry, and the people are waking up. Full stop.
I agree. It is about time they stand up to the bully.
The interference from the USA has costs lives over decades😡😡
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.
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 from 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!
If you talk to any average Israeli, they can't (or are unwilling to) tell the difference between Hamas and a Palestinian. There's no way a two state solution is happening in anyone's lifespan.
Good thing it’s not up to them. Just like whites in South Africa didn’t exactly want to give black people equal rights. One state is the only solution.
There is no difference
Racist! @@Ann12681 there is also no difference between israel and Nazis! They learned from the Nazis and are doing it to the Palestinians!
I love that there's no podium. He looks like an old man who's cornered one of their grandchildren.
He is overly excited. Gleeful, in fact. He's got himself an audience to pontificate to
@@chezmiriam Okay Hasbara troll.
@@GordonSeal Just blathering hate and nonsense in one sentence..
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.
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.
as long as it supports your narrative
I've never seen such an articulate storyteller, especially for such an age.
First time seeing 'step to the side every time you make a point' presentation strategy. Works better than I expected.
This man is so straightforward, so brilliant, and such a good speaker. Truly an inspiration for me. I hope to speak against the evil in this world as eloquently as him at every opportunity. Thank you for uploading this video.
Bill Maher is NOT liberal in any sense anymore at all
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.
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.
Germany is occupied state, so they don't really have a say in matters.
Man I am so happy Mearsheimer is becoming mainstream. I never thought this would happen. Back then, interview viewership was barely a thousand.
He is a demagogue and a liar. This whole presentation has so many lies, omissions and half truths that it’s worse than times of Russia propaganda articles.
John is not on top of his game, sure a nice guy and means well but he misses a lot, he repeatedly miss-reads Ukraine, and here he entirely misses that Israel is not fighting hamas, hamas is equivalent to a town council, Israel is fighting a brotherhood who don't like christians or jews or sunnis or foreigners, but they do like assad and russia and iraq and iran.
@@GaryGraham-sx4pm lmao he has been perfectly correct on Ukraine and your comment about Hamas is nonsense

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

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 😢
I don't understand why my country continues to send the Israeli government $3.8 billion every year and more at times?

One of the reasons they can provide for their citizens is because. they are counting on our military (tax dollars)
they are controlled by Zionist
@@Sherrie-fm7cd 1. American government is doing it for multiple reason (including control / influence), but I think the largest factor is the military industrial complex. US has a very bad problem with lawmakers turning into lobbyist for industry and vice versa. It's the money from those industries that drives the decision to buy, use, and sell more arms.
2. US is spending waay too much on military out of their own volition. They're not "protecting" other countries, they're doing it for their own reasons (see above). Even the trigger for the current war in Europe (i.e. Russia's invasion of Ukraine) was NATO having a closer relationship with Ukraine, and Putin (being the insecure dictator that he is), reacting from his own fear of having the enemy in "his" backyard. This military problem was caused by the military in the first place, as per usual.
Because your country is an occupied territory by zionists like the rest of occidental countries, simple as that...
Because Israel is fighting Islam.
This speaker is so based. He actually changes his opinion and makes it public, unlike every world leader who says one thing, realizes it was a mistake/wrong decision, and is too cowardly to to change their opinion. Thid man deserves all of my respect. Truely great man

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.
In talking with my father, he definitely agreed that the perception of Israel has changed. All his life it was staunch, completely unquestioning support, but now, to watch them commit such heinous crimes of their own, everything has changed.
That's total bullshit, Israel has always been opposed and accused of genocide for even the tiniest bit of defense they put up.
Israel has never benefited from appeasing terrorists and their supporters.
This is the 3rd Gaza war, not the first, all due to Gazans being insistent that murdering Jews is the most important thing in life.
I have been following Prof. John Mearsheimer. I salute him! He is not only most respected and the most famous political scientist in history. He is also most moral, truthful and humanitarian in the world.
He's an idiot. Like a lot of university faculty who are mainly into the woke virtue signalling business. Not that they let the facts ruin their insane narrative.
He is scum.
I very much doubt his morality or his humanitarianism. Reminds me of a cold blooded snake.
Think so. Fine, just don't bring up China, you'll see a different person.
@@adelmomarietta3964 Strange that you feel no need to substantiate your insults with any sort of argument, facts or logic.
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
Great lecture and interesting assessment. The questions asked after the lecture were the same tired characterizations, but the professor dealt with them gracefully.
Shocking to have such a salaried professor without hestitation refer to 10/7 as a spectacular success... suggesting such brutality was something like other than terrorism... endowing Hamas with a cloak of legitimacy as a "state actor" of a kind.
Do you consider Israil to be a state actor?
Do you refer to the brutality of the onslaught of Gaza as something other than terrorism?
Do you not realize that he's saying that it was a success from their perspective, not from his own?
Obviously not or you wouldn't be upset.

Never realised Australian inteligência were so out of touch and frankly misled by paid for media. Great shame. The Prof was spot on and you could see he was holding back.
Australia is basically a lost cause. There are people that know the truth and are likeminded with Mearsheimer but they are in the minority and brutally silenced because there is no right to freedom of speech.

Mersheimer is the only political analyst on these world conflicts that is clear and no nonsense cutting through the propaganda of both sides.
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.

The only reason this man sounds like he makes sense is because there is no one over there with minimal knowledge to correct him. He says Israeli Arabs don't have the same rights as Jews, BS. He says Israel commits genocide, please give us the evidence etc.
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

the only thing that is sure that antisemitism will as strong as ever regardless if Jews will survive.
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.
Excellent. Insightful. Timely. Deeply disturbing. Israel has backed itself into a dark, dark corner. And the human cost to Palestinians is too sad for words. Sadly, the negative view of Israel that I’ve reluctantly noted arising within me in recent years due to their internal political activities is now fully confirmed as realistic. Unconscionable. Too too sad.

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.

Unfortunately too many of our dispensational brethren believe there is a role for today’s Israel in prophecy, and are this easily manipulated by the Israelis.
