Prof. John Mearsheimer on the Israeli attacks

June 14, 2025/12 Comments/in Featured Articles, Israel, Israel Lobby/by Kevin MacDonald

Mearsheimer: Trump was trapped by Israelis—once attack happened (against the president’s expressed wishes) the forces for war (Israel Lobby, etc.) were too much, so that he would have a political disaster if he disowned Israel. As I noted, “Trump is likely unhappy with what Israel did but will make the best of it and will defend Israel if it comes to that.” It has come to that.

Mearsheimer: Israel knows that no matter what anti-war conservatives say, when push comes to shove, “Israel has us tied around their little finger.” This does not exonerate Trump, but it would have been political suicide to jettison Israel as people like Tucker Carlson have advocated. Napolitano especially condemns Trump while Mearsheimer seems more willing to see the wider picture of Israel’s ultimate responsibility.

Mearsheimer:  Israel “Israel owns us”; Israel did not do all that much damage yet—lots of Iranian missiles underground; Iran can do serious damage to Israel (as we are seeing). He is worried about wider war, bombing oil facilities leading to disaster, global recession, etc. “Israel wants Americans to be killed because it would suck us into the war.” False Flag alert!

    “Andrew Napolitano identifies as a Traditionalist Catholic and is known for his strong adherence to pre-Vatican II practices and teachings. He has expressed criticism of Pope Francis, particularly regarding the Pope’s reforms and changes to traditional Church practices, which Napolitano views as detrimental to Catholic doctrine and liturgy.
    Napolitano has been vocal about his views on Catholicism, including his preference for the Latin Mass and traditional theological sermons, distinguishing himself as a traditionalist within the Catholic community.”
    Mearsheimer is also crypto trad catholic. I wouldn’t believe a word out of their mouths.

      I didn’t know that either man was a Trad or even had Traditionalist leanings. Good news comes from the oddest quarters sometimes!

      On the other hand, what reason would I or anyone else have to believe a single word you or any other Tradition-hater might say?

      It’s been a few years but I thought Mearsheimer declared he was jewish in his book. Sachs is one of the jews that destroyed Russia and opened it up for looting. The other boomercons on Judge Nappy are all Holocaust affirmers except the the Kwiatkoski chick who hasn’t mentioned it yet.

        “Mearsheimer talks sense.”
        “But he is a jew.”
        “Oh, I mean he talks nonsense and/or is controlled opposition.”

        “I liked that music.”
        “Brahms composed it; he was a jew.”
        “Oh, I hated it really.”

    I don’t claim to be savvy about Geopolitics. I do however think I can spot a liar and have a reasonable level of character analysis.
    Trump must surely realise that for all his bravura and posturing, his role as POTUS is merely a figurehead for bigger players behind the curtain.
    To say the US is ‘tied around Israel’s finger’ is somewhat of an understatement.
    Anyone observing from afar knows that Jews have wormed their way into all levels of government and as a percentage of the US population are vastly over-represented in powerful positions.
    The average schmuck on the street can tell you why the US is hog-tied.
    The only question remaining is; if commanded to jump, will they ask how high ?

    Ever since Israel got their evil hands on nuclear weapons, they have been using nuclear blackmail on the US in order to coerce the US into fighting their wars for them. The grotesquely ugly Golda Meir pulled this nuclear blackmail card on Nixon when Israel were getting their butts beat by Egypt in one of their mini-wars when Nixon was in the White House, and she threatened to use their stolen nukes on Egypt unless Nixon didn’t immediately send massive military weapons to Israel, which Nixon did, and that turned the tide in favor of Israel. Right now, Baby Bombing Bibi is begging the US to get into the war THEY FREAKING STARTED, and allegedly, I’m reading that the Orange BS’er is resisting. Thus: Satanyahu will pull the same nuclear blackmail card out of his butt and threaten Mr. Orange the same way Golda Meir threatened Nixon.

    Another very likely possibility is for Satanyahu to order his 5th column of MOSSAD terrorists who are stationed inside the US to start staging terrorist attacks on American soil, and then blame them on Iran – in order to snooker the embarrassingly gullible and easily manipulated MAGA-tards into screaming to go to war with Iran.

    One more likely possibility that Prof. Mearsheimer didn’t mention, when he was correctly stating that Netanyahu wants to see lots of Americans on those US bases killed is this: This was the purpose of the Israeli press reports that are revealing that Trump was fully aware of the impending attacks, and played along with the fake “negotiations” scam in order to trick Iran into lowering it’s guard. Trump was blindsided by this Netanyahu treachery, and probably thought that he and Bibi had a gentleman’s agreement to keep his role a secret. Trump wanted plausible deniability – and Netanyahu stabbed him in the back, because Netanyahu wants to lure Iran into attacking US military bases and killing Americans in order to force Trump to go to war in Iran.

    And, here is another guaranteed certainty. If Netanyahu’s attempt to lure Iran into attacking and killing Americans doesn’t work because Iran’s leaders see through this scheme and refuse to take the bait, Netanyahu and his MOSSAD goons will execute a false flag attack that kills Americans and then the jewish owned and controlled US Mainstream media will – in unison – start peddling the Netanyahu provided narrative that claims Iran was responsible. And, the Orange Con Man will have the excuse he needs to drag America into yet another war in the Middle East.

      I’m reminded of a piece of advice given by Elijah Muhammad, the founder of the Nation of Islam, to Louis Farrakhan, the current head of the Nation of Islam: “Brother, never underestimate the depth of Satan’s evil”.

      We need to make sure this never, ever happens again for the good of all humanity. I think Islam is moderating and might be possible to live with but I think this is impossible for jews.

        Islam cannot renounce the aim to subject humanity to Allah and to use the Lesser Jihad against Atheists, Hindus and Christians as well as Jews. The Quran and Hadith are clear. And thanks to Netanyahu it will never become moderate. Unlike Buddhism and Christianity, it is a political religion, although not ethnic like Judaism, Zoroastrianism and Shinto.
        Prove me wrong without accusing me falsely of being a “jewess” or a hasbara-troll.

    A friend sent me this link to an old SNL skit. He characterized it as an “oldie”, but still relevant. I concur:

    P.S. Update: I understand that Netanyahu has clarified that uncircumcised donkeys will also be acceptable.
