Mearsheimer's opening statement deserves to be heard in its entirety.
"Unliteral sanctions by the United States resulted in 28 million deaths. This is what you get when you turn into a Crusader State... the United States tries to promote like-minded democracies and fails!"
John Mearsheimer: "It's not just Israeli leaders who support the genocide. You don't see any protest among the Israeli public. It's shocking. It's sickening. You have to file all this under the Nazification of Israel. They are like the Germans under Hitler."
It’s incredible how quickly liberals are willing to trash values they claim to uphold - freedom of speech, human rights, international law, etc - the minute these conflict with the objectives of Western hegemony and capital accumulation in the world economy.
philosophy chair getting arrested, an econ prof getting her head smashed against concrete, a street medic being held down and tased, snipers setting up vantage points to shoot at ohio state students -all because of nationwide protests against a genocide- you SHOULD be radicalized
One of the great ironies of this country is we’ve forced students to learn how to barricade themselves against active shewterz for decades and now they’re using that against the very people who failed to protect them and prefer to defend empire instead.
On Earth Day, I am again remembering the words of Thomas Sankara:
"This struggle to defend the trees and forests is above all a struggle against imperialism. Because imperialism is the arsonist setting fire to our forests and our savannas."
