No on “greater isr” they interpret that as the entire middle east. Otherwise great snippet John M.
If we can get this message accepted…. things would be much better.
And american should give back land to Indiana Native american,nindigenous people, people and israelis must give back Palestine back to Palestinian over and out
Indigenous people, Native Americans
@ oki thank u whatever but u now my point
💯 true
This man still hasn’t realized what ever Netanyahu has been doing is aligned with Biden administration.
No piece in the Middle East …
NO GREATER izrahell. 2 state or Palestine.
PALESTINE
ISRAEL IS ANNEXING INDIGENOUS LAND FROM THE.PALESTINE AND OTHER NOMADIC PEOPLES THAT HAVE LIVED THERE SINCE MELINIA ..ONE FAILS TO SEE A CREATED STATE BY THE BALFOUR ACORDS LAND WITH BOUNDRIES THAT BALFOUR AND THE OTHERS IN THE GROUP DREW . THERE WAS NO AGREEMENT TO ANNEX ADJACENT LAND. WHERE DID THIS ANNEXATION AND SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT COME FROM ?.THIS IS A TOTAL MYSTERY WITH FABRICATIONS AND ARGUEMENT FROM ONLY ONE SIDE . THIS SITUATION HAS TO BE ANALYZED TO CONCLUSION , WITH ALL WHO HAVE LIVED FOR CENTURIES ON THAT REAL. ESTATE NOW TERMED ISRAEL OR , THIS PARTISAN DIVISION WILL GRADUALLY ENGULF THE.MIDDLEEAST AND BEYOND INCLUDING A NUCLEAR CONFRONTATION.
STOP FUNDING THIS GENOCIDE NOW !
John Mearsheimer is DUMB. He can’t even identify the problem.
Agreed
So with greater Israël, US would go against all UN resolutions. 💔
US interest in middle east: oil and gas, gold, land.
Two states solution is impossible to sustain, when one of the state is keep aiming for The Greater Israel. We also need to put back words in original definition. Judaism is the set of believe. But, Israeli or Bani Israel or Decendents of Israel is sons of Jacob by blood, not by believes. Only people that having the correct DNA should call themselves “Israelis”, at least 30% of DNA of Jacob’s bloodline, probably 10% still acceptable, but not 0% like Netanyahu. Mandatory DNA test for all people calling themselves Israelis.
Agree. Then the one state or two can begin their solutions. The only way.
He just forgot USA is Israel’s proxy
Just to keep the invisible stick of dictator on rest of the world. USA is being used by Israelite. Many books mentioned this in past. That’s what the thinkers said and writers wrote
The Audacity to talk of Greater Israel without knowing Palestinians’ wish? How cruel!
🤦♀️😭💔
And all neighboring countries! Greater Israel is a much larger insane project
Eretz Yisrael, “Greater Israel“, is supposed to stretch from the NILE to the Euphrates! How many more wars, how many more lives…?
He didn’t say that exactly. He’s against the genoside.
@@rogbrogb7537 He thinks greater israel is “only” Gaza and the west bank… still, why should palestinians go along with this?
What an arrogant self hating Jew. Who said the greater US interest isn’t aligned with Israel? 🇺🇸
That’s absolutely right, the mess the country is in because of Israel,
Is rally: You’ve never been to is rail have you? 😅
Looks like a dump tbh.
No interest only on visiting Palestine once Israel is bye bye.
@Qwertystock2024 people couldn’t pay me to visit is rail.
Israel paid them huge sum of money. They will never refuse
😂 do you mean they used US taxpayers money because Israel is broke without America
Israel is USA client state & they get billions in financial welfare while American citizens are dying waiting for health care.
Very well said, thanks
One state of combined Palestine Lebanon
This is what’s happening right now.
The decision should be made based on right and wrong instead of interests.
The decision has absolutely NOTHING to do with America. Period.
You are seeing the dream of Greater Israel yourself. This dream will drown you too.
Both are not acceptable. Palestine belongs to Palestinians. Period. What 2 state solution…dream on.
America would never do that, most politicians here are controlled by Isreal
Only one palestenian state.
So it looks like US interests line up then . DUH
🙋🏽♀️🇺🇸 John Mearshiemer
Nice to hear some sane thinking!❤
I don’t get it with this greater Israel why???? Why should the US have interests in the middle east. Should the middle east have interests in North America amongst USA neighbours or better yet should the Middle East have interests within their country. I mean this argument in the first place is absurd. Do business, have economic ties but anything more the region has every right to voice out. How can I allow someone to meddle in my personal affairs amongst the family members of my home?????? And a 2 state solution us a long one idea. One state with equal rights and that is it. If Israel does not like it, leave and go back to the west where you escaped persecution from.
Peace loving and conscientious Americans have a great opportunity to rectify the wrongs of their governments to the 🌎 by rejecting the 2 party scam of an election created by zionists to hoodwink them. Jill Stein is that opportunity, if only they realize that in time!😮😮😮
Greater Isreal, what audacity.
Mearsheimer is a narcissist.
Mearsheimer is delusional
How can there be American interests in West Asia ?
What greater Israel. How dare you say that.
Does he even comprehend a “Greater Israel” means expanding all the way to Saudi Arabia? That tje problem with occupation, apartheid and racism goes far beyond having the right to vote?
No. Hasn’t a clue.
wait, is Israel not a democracy?
It certainly is not!
Nope! There should be a greater Palestine, one person, one vote. Israelis can go back to where they came from, or stay under the Palestinian authority.
Soft zio.
Jill Stein 💚💚💚
It’s time for China and Russia to jump in and have the similar interest in Palestine.. since Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt and all other Muslim countries have no interest to defend the their own kind.
Stop AIPAC, Zionism, and Israeli support. PERIOD.
There is no such thing as an “israeli” democracy. I lose respect for him when he pretends to himself there could be.
Ultimately, this man turns out to be just as crooked as all the politicians he criticizes.
How can he talk about “Greater Israel” knowing that this involves the enslavement and annexation of other lands from several countries.
Neither one of those choices Nethanyahu will accept. He knows always American politicians will listen to him.
It would be and is his dream to accept a Greater Israel 😂
Seems as though too many people (this man especially) don’t know what the Greater Israel concept is. We ALL should.
Sad to see that even Mr mearsheimer thinks it’s the Israeli might over USA. But in history there was no Israel but the western countries still murdered millions. The point is, the US wants this genocide. They want this chaos in the world. Otherwise they would lose their position in the world within 5 years. They want to win time and make it difficult for Asia and Africa to grow. This the reason why we got 2 main wars.
Give California to them and let them create their greater Israel there
Why not a Greater Palestine 🇵🇸??
Because pooistine isn’t democratic, free, capitalist
Greater Israel will not happen. Btw, the US is not a democracy, but an oligarchy.
The occupation and sponsors economic plan for Palestine.
Gaza oil and gas
Gaza Real Estate sea front
Ben Gurion canal and port
I usually like what this man says but he makes a mistake here. Why is there an assumption that the US has the right to decide if Israel ‘can have a greater Israel or…
Why doesn’t anyone tell all the 20+ islamic nations to have a democracy or at least start with people FREELY choosing their own religion and practising it?
the fact is that the U.S. government and the occupation (israel) have the same interests
For the single state solution to work, the symbols that offends both sides need to be relegated to the museum. Arab and Jewish children are not born hating each other. Societies are responsible for propagating historical hatred. That is a failure of society. To get beyond the awful history, start with renaming Israel/Palestine state to a new country (eg Eden !). No apartheid. One vote one person. No weapons except for law enforcement.
Why n6ut America first for health care, for education, for housing, for looking after your veterans. Instead, all of this is being provided for isreal with American money
Wow. Ask children, they will tell you the solution. Stay away from another’s property.
I want the Americans to go back into isolation and not meddle with other countries. We don’t need America acting like world police: we have witnessed the result for 100+ yrs now. Only destruction & mayhem.
GET RID OF that self-serving, evil, top-tier Illuminati, NETANYAHU!
“Greater Israel” includes Jordan, 2/3 of Iraq, 2/3 of Saudi Arabia, half of Egypt and much more. Please, check the map of “Greater Israel.”
This guy doesn’t know that Greater Israel includes stealing land from 5 countries after completely stealing all of Palestine.
The main problem is that people think that this issue is complicated but it is not: they stole their land! And everybody knows that stealing is wrong.
So why is this complicated? For the Israelis maybe, but they are the main culprit, so that doesn’t matter!
The disaster creators for the planet
But Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Iraq Syria, Saudi Arabia or at least parts of them don’t want to be part of Greater Israel, just the same as Palestine. He does know what Greater Israel means as far as Israelis are concerned doesnt he?? 🙄
Probably not 🤪
This guy is wild, one option for “greater Israel”??? As if that’s advisable?? Free Palestine River to sea
it’s too late
American congress has duel jewelry citizens in our congress….it should be Against the law
No matter what you say, you have no right to dictate what other nations to do.
Palestine has a right to be a state. Period.
How about another option: remove that artificial state.
These guidelines state before expressing an opinion it must be respectful and constructive. I haven’t seen one such comment. Dumbassism has done nothing but rule the world at this point.
Maybe they will
Israel take care of yourself
-Ron Paul
Israel killing all these people still thinking of a two state solution F that
BS ,, you can have greater Isreal ??? You can invade other countries and invade north of Saudi Arabia
BS political distraction tactics
I agreed with Mr. John Mearsheimer 100% One Hundred Percent.❤❤❤
Close the federal reserve and go back to the gold standard, end all income taxes, make the military a defence force and close all the bases around the world, close NASA and AIPAC and use the money on the American people, raise the voting age to 25 and only for families with children and stop all immigration for 30 years.
Well just a suggestion from a Dane, so don`t take me too seriously.
.
Israel policy is US policy.
Why do we have to change their behavior? “We are not the boss of them ”
We have to stop pressuring countries. Facilitate peace
We shouldn’t support certain activities…. but that’s a different story.
😂😂😂 buddy thinks izzis are doing this on their own. It’s the hegemony that’s telling them to do this
israel is not now, and has never been a democracy. Just look up the word democracy in Webster’s dictionary and you will know the truth and hopefully the truth will set the Palestinians free.👉👊👊👈
America n these whole group of western nation have been brought up believing that they are the great super power that get to decide whose who n what’s not that they can’t imagine that maybe hey maybe there is a better way of having it good while giving others their right share n responsibility of making this planet perfect for every nation… but nope they have to have monopolies of all n everything…they’ll never see others rights for self determination.
Was für ein BS.I już cię kupili. 😊
Jak to Żydzi mówią. Każdego możesz kupić tylko za ile.I jest przykład.
Israel has the leverage because a lot of the multi international cooperations belong to Jews who are sympathizers of Zionism and Israel.
As much a great historian that John is, there’s no way any Palestinian will accept a so called greater Israel with an illegal entity that have killed them for more than seven decades. That is just not possible. How can l all of sudden becomes friends with an illegal occupier of my indeginous homeland with a history of violence on my people. Bad advice, besides US is not a democracy.
No Israel. Just Palestine 🇵🇸 ❤️
The problem with ‘The Two State Delusion’ is that, with Isreal being in posession of previously Palestinian land, many Refugees will never be able to return to thier homes.
No matter what Hamas…. Meaning: “Movement of Islamic Resistance “
Would take over 2 state solution
Same thing… what a shallow observation
Nothing change till the corruption stops. AIPAC must be made illegal
Greatest
A two state solution is a pipe dream. 800k illegal settlers in stolen land over years of cruelty.
Actually, that’s not helpful at all because it is in the interest of the US to have warfare in the Middle East, because the military industrial complex makes more money
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💜
Remember the USS LIBERTY 6/8/67 35 Sailors Murdered 170 wounded with napalm.Aipac owns the U S Military.
It is a mystery why people like Mearsheimer will never have a chance to become a US president, given they are heads and shoulders above the usual candidates. Actually it’s not a mystery.
Stand with you from a kurdish finish
A two state solution that would never work for Israel or Palestine! Everyone in that part of the world gets it… this is not a viable option, yet these guys still go around ranting for a two state solution!
I didnt know they have a choice at all….both choices he said are no less evil to the other…US benifit with this war,,greater israel.means more part of middle east to be occupied..the second option is a facade,less leathal but same outcome. Palestenian state with no palestenian present is what gonna happen thats what he mean by that second choice.
Great work professor Mersheimer. Free Palestine. 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
Where’s the DEMOCRACY the west talks about so much
They can’t because isy is playing the blackmail game
