John Mearsheimer on The Nightmare Known as Israel

by | Nov 8, 2025 | News | 1 comment

Reprinted from John’s Substack:

On 6 November 2025, I was on “Judging Freedom” with Judge Napolitano talking about Israel. We not only discussed Israel’s barbaric behavior toward the Palestinians, but also talked about: 1) the deep divisions within Israeli society that threaten to tear it apart; 2) its militaristic foreign policy that either has it at war with its neighbors (think Lebanon) or contemplating war with them (think Iran); and 3) its profound problems in the United States, where it is hemorrhaging support across the political spectrum.

John J. Mearsheimer, PhD, is an American professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago. More recently Mearsheimer has attracted attention for co-authoring and publishing the article The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy, which was subsequently published as a book.
