It is so tiresome that any reasonable critique of Israel is automatically flagged as anti-semitism and racism. They are a country like any other. Their leaders are open to criticism. Their foreign policy is too. I've only recently discovered John Mearshimer and I really appreciate his level headed analysis.

In 1948, the UN partitioned the land whittled down from the boundries set by the League of Nations to an undefensible sliver with the rest going to set up another Arab State. The Jews accepted it-the Arabs rejected it and attacked the new State of Israel with the intent to destroy it and throw the Jews into the sea (genocide) as they proudly proclaimed. They have not ceased since in this goal and have launched constant attacks and 3 major military attempts to destroy Israel. Miraculously, each time they lost men and territory including Judea and Samaria. Israel's treatment of the Muslims of Gaza and the West Bank are obviously in self defense and whaen the "Palestinians" decide to put down their weapons and stop their terrorism there will be peace.

Well, I guess you should ask other national people how they feel lobby from other countries affect them as well. That's how the world works, elements from other countries try to influence each other for their own interest. Israeli influence seems an oddity, but it is fairly common and not just limited to them. Anyway, that's just result of money from lobbying and campaign donations in American politics. In other countries these legal acts would be considered illegal bribery even in corrupt countries like in South America (which suffers from lobby from lot of American corporations by the way).

The reason is Christian Protestants believe Israel must exist no matter what so that Jesus will return. Preachers are responsible for driving this into most Protestants minds. These people vote for people that may not care but adopt it to get ahead in politics. It would take a very strong leader to go against this. Especially one who would be automatically attacked as antisemitic. Israeli politicians take very good advantage of this situation in the USA.

You said some vile shit there, you better have some pretty good evidence. Zionist and Jew are not the same thing, as he bloody well goes out of his way to emphasise.

I'm 71 years old and grew up thinking Israel could do no wrong. I had Jewish neighbors and knew we were very much the same sort of people and had very much the same attitudes about life or at least we shared the same neighborhoods and could easily understand each other, A Jewish identity was something Jewish people had to remind me of, not something I tended to notice or even care much about. And even as a kid the schools reminded us of the abuses of the Nazi regime but it became an almost exclusively Jewish holocaust over the years and the nearly equal number of other people the Nazi's didn't want around were never really mentioned. The death camps were multifunctioning. . But in college I started to hear about the Palestinians and realized the story was not so one sided. If I did hear about it, the media made it always a case that the Palestinians were usually radicals and dangerous and the Israelis were brave defenders against persecution. Nearly 20 years later, The internet gave access to information like UN history and resolutions I had never really heard much about regarding the torturous history of Israeli-Palestinian relations that was not easy to see without it. That blew the roof off the subject and I no longer believe Israel can do no wrong. BTW - I was not interested in politics, hardly ever read newspapers and listened to TV and radio news like it was musak or semi informative wallpaper.. I know one has to tread carefully when discussing Israel and it is guaranteed aggravating and frustrating to even think about it. But I am kind of disgusted with the idea of Zionism for the simple reason one couldn't found anything like that philosophy in this country or under our constitution. European countries, and many others, may have de facto ethnic or religious identities but I don't think any of them make that identity a part of their own constitutions. The Middle East still clings to its religious and ethnic identities by law and perhaps that's the only place that Zionism can really exist? They all tend to think the same way and that's such a pity and as far I as I'm concerned and not to be admired. I feel no obligation to believe in the rightness or justice of the idea of a Jewish homeland. It may have been a source of great joy and comfort following WWII but it sure doesn't look so splendid or right today. The whole region is looking more and more like an outlier. I was born in a country where religious and ethnic identity did not guarantee one a "Homeland" with "one's kind" and I find it very hard to support others who think that is necessary. Ethnic neighborhoods have their charm but they are not really something it is very admirable to fight or die for and they probably wouldn't be at all charming if they did. We moved around a lot when I was younger and I never seemed to acquire a taste for that kind of exclusivity. It can tend to make bigotry and narrow mindedness some kind of virtue.

Very good discussion and perfect long term perspective from 51:00 !

Very impressed with the balanced and thoughtful presentations and debate. The manner in which this discussion was held gives me hope for humanity.

"...they're in a class by themselves." So was Atilla and the Huns.

The Israeli lobby has tremendous influence but most of that influence ironically isn't because of Jews per se. It's because a large segment of Christian evangelicals think by being uber-zionists they are fulfilling Christian biblical prophecy. Without that religious support, the Israeli lobby group would still have influence but at more normalized levels. Where some Jewish Israeli nationalists groups play dirty is smearing anyone that criticizes Israeli government policies towards minorities as "anti-semitism" then applying economic and political pressure to critics (as Mearsheimer himself was attacked for stating captain obvious). This behavior is typically coming from rightwing uber-Zionists very often ones that are Orthodox. Leftwing Jews, who are typically principled on issues related to human rights (including Israel) are smeared as "self-hating Jews" by both by segment of rightwing Christians and Jews alike (although there are exceptions to this rule, see "liberals" like Alan Dershowitz)

The problem with Christian evangelical uber-Zionism is that it's heretical to Christianity.

I want to quote one questioner: "A magnificent presentation!"

Israel receives annually $ 3.8 billion...just like that 🤣 compared to Egypt that only gets $130 million

Thank you so much.

I've watched many of John Mearsheimer's YT videos, especially those related to the critical issue of China's impact on the global future, but never have I seen him as defensive as in this entry.

WELL SAID

Wars are not fought to spread "liberal democracy". Wars are always fought over resources (natural, human, etc.) "Democracy", "religion", and "nationalism" are only used to rally the troops before the battle. Suggesting that Western/US oil companies had no interest in regime change in Iraq is just as ludicrous as saying that overthrow of Mosaddegh in Iran in 1953 was not about oil. Denying that the US is an imperialist state interested ONLY in securing access to resources (or denying access to states that might be potential competitors) is silly. These gentlemen either cannot or do not want to tell the truth, perhaps a paycheck continuation strategy on their part.

It is the brutal colonial interests of those Arab countries who cannot abide a small non-Arab controlled country in the Middle East that are the source of the problem. All the Arab countries are essentially Judearein-no Jews allowed and at the same time there are 1.8 million Muslims thriving in Israel. The Arab States are colonialist and practice Apartheid.

I think it's interesting that they openly acknowledge the theological motivations of Christian Zionists, but present Jewish motivation as purely political in nature (at least in this talk) Also, the proposed remedy at 1:02:44 (campaign finance reform, which he says won't happen; open discussion of the issues/open discourse; waiting for moderate groups in the Israel lobby to become more influential while hoping hard-line groups recognize that the current policies they support are detrimental) seems *really* insufficient. I understand that they're being cautious, and that despite this extreme caution they're still attacked, vilified, and sidelined from mainstream intellectual discourse, but to any thinking person the extremeness of this caution should indicate that pro-Israel/Jewish lobbying groups have influence that *FAR* exceeds the political sphere, and that they have no intention to abide by ideals of "open discourse", and that they in fact have been very successful at attacking such ideals, much to the detriment of the U.S. democratic process.

Perhaps they should do a presentation about the influence George Sorros has in the USA and include his Co-conspirators. It would be a very interesting subject.
