"You wouldn't need a lobby if there were strategic and moral reasons for a close relationship. Israel is a strategic liability and its behavior toward the Palestinians is morally reprehensible." -John Mearsheimer

Overjoyed to hear prof. Mearsheimer describe it as such! What a brilliant and honest man.

Great to see an interview conducted so well, with the interviewer not constantly interrupting, and framing intelligent questions. As journalism should be.

You will not see an interview like that on mainstream media.

As a German, I don’t support what Israel is doing… and I hope more people in my country will realize what is truly going on.

I love John Mearsheimer. He's honest and very smart. More people need to understand what he's explaining..the world will never forget what Israel and the United States have done.

This video is the finger-snap that would break America's state of hypnosis. Every American should watch this.

Most political leaders don't want an engaged or informed population. They dare not invite honest, objective and educated individuals to discuss this issue on mainstream media.

This interviewer is one of the best I’ve ever heard. Professional, thoughtful, expounds on what the Prof says. He is fully engaged and wants the interview to mean something.

Prof John is one of the few people who I enjoy listening to. A great communicator who also possesses a sensible mind and views.

Great interview. I would add one point about the lobby which became abundantly clear to me watching Romney and Blinken. The lobby also represents the same values as un-principled capitalism which gives it its greatest strength. Fortunately, Gen-Z has made the connection. I am so proud of them!

The only reason its banned in usa. Imagine what will happen with this nation if the press has freedom to share news about the affairs and actions by the government.

If there were an Oscar for best theatrical performance by a country, Israel would win every year. It's a country based on theater. It's a lunatic state - completely insane.

“Since its establishment, Israel has engaged in brutal oppression of the rights of Palestinians. Thousands of Palestinians are imprisoned, beaten and tortured; children are taken from their beds and beaten by soldiers who are armed to the teeth.”-Miko Peled.
