John Mearsheimer Endorses a Hitler Apologist and Holocaust Revisionist

Gilad Atzmon is a jazz saxophonist who lives in London and who has a side gig disseminating the wildest sort of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. He is an ex-Israeli and a self-proclaimed "self-hater" who traffics in Holocaust denial and all sorts of grotesque, medieval anti-Jewish calumnies. Here is a small sample of his lunatic thoughts (bold text is mine):

As an International Relations student, while an intelligent guy in his field, John Mearsheimer is an academic elitist asshole. =.=

LOL, of course the Ron Paultards are fans of his.

I read this only to discover what you said, I KNEW IT in my heart this would be connected!! LOL!!

You shouldn’t be so quick to describe academics as assholes. Assholes serve a vital purpose.

[mnehring]

If you think about it, a**holes serve the exact opposite purpose of academics. One eliminates BS, the other retains it.

On the smell test, this upcoming book appears to questionable at best. But it's hard to find much fault with Mearsheimer's conclusions in his book on the Israel lobby:

"The overriding goal of U.S foreign policy is to ensure the safety and prosperity of the American people."

"Although we believe that America should support Israel's existence, Israel's security is ultimately not of critical strategic importance to the United States."

The United States should look after American interests first and last. If this "Wandering Who" book is as bad as it sounds, it would be a shame if Mearsheimer damages the validity of these conclusions by associating himself with such ideas.

Depends, given I am one of those alleged “academics.” ;-)

Oy freaking veh!

Thanks for posting this and kudos to Goldberg for making note of it at The Atlantic. It is their audience who is likely to get hornswoggled by nuts like Mearsheimer.

Mearsheimer undermined his credibility with the poorly researched piece, “The Israel Lobby and Foreign Policy”
