I don't think smart people are surprised when Jewhating idiocy comes out of so-called institutions of higher learning. After all, Saudi money endowed a chair at Harvard. The Saudi Fifth Column On Our Nation's Campuses...

It doesn't surprise me - I just normally expect from professors who are well-known for their association with radical causes and who are constantly showing up at marches and signing petitions, etc.

Mearsheimer is considered a serious and reserved academic who has eschewed open politicking during his 30+ year career.

Mearsheimer is not Chomsky or Al-Arian or Ward Churchill. I mean, I actually used to respect this guy. I took classes from professors who were activists and I took classes from serious academics and I know the difference between the two.

This guy was the latter. It's depressing - I would assume that Heidegger's former students who watched their once-respected mentor kowtow with the Nazis felt similarly.

i'm emailing him expressing my disappointment - I wonder if he'll respond.

That's part of the Elders strategy, deflect attention from the conspiracy and focus it on the Saudis.
