A lecture by Professor John J. Mearsheimer
Contrary to the wishes of the Obama administration and most Americans – to include many American Jews – Israel is not going to allow the Palestinians to have a viable state of their own in Gaza and the West Bank. Regrettably, the two-state solution is now a fantasy.
Kevin MacDonald has posted an extensive rebuttal to the Mearsheimer thesis:
John Mearsheimer and the Future of Israeli Apartheid by Kevin MacDonald
I am inclined to agree with KM. All the rhetoric about moral unversalism and tolerance from the Jewish community should not be taken at face value.
“Jewish commitment to liberalism in the West has been all about ethnic hardball, not about high-flown moral values. Jewish liberalism is the cutting edge aimed at displacing previously dominant WASP elites and their culture. It is not motivated by a moral universalism of human rights — a philosophy that is utterly foreign to the Jewish tradition. Rather, it is motivated by fear and loathing of the traditional peoples and cultures of Europe — and the desire to become a dominant elite.”
Jews have always been about ethnic politics and moral particularism, and nothing will change unless Jews are unseated from power in the United States.
