It should not really be surprising that Mearsheimer would endorse a book like The Wandering Who. At least two studies (here and here, both based on European samples) have found that a strong animus toward Israel tends to go hand in hand with dislike of Jews.

Mearsheimer kept at it in a London Review of Books article on November 16 last year, published two days after Israel launched Operation Pillar of Defense to stop rocket fire from Gaza. In Mearsheimer’s telling, of course, Israel had far more nefarious aims. Whereas Hamas “appears to have been interested in working out a long-term ceasefire,” it was Israel that had “decided to ratchet up the violence.”

Israel’s real aim was to “beat…the Palestinians into submission,” to “create a Greater Israel that stretches from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea,” in which “the Palestinians…will be forced to live in impoverished enclaves.” It was all “part of a long-term strategy to coerce the Palestinians into giving up their pursuit of self-determination and submitting to Israeli rule in an apartheid state.”

And if the U.S. should screw up the courage to object to any of this,

The key to keeping Washington on board is the Israel lobby, which pressures American leaders to side with Israel against the Palestinians and do hardly anything to stop the colonisation of the Occupied Territories.

All of this, of course, hardly jibes with facts—such as Israel’s total withdrawal from Gaza seven years earlier; such as the current intensive, John Kerry-impelled, Israeli-Palestinian talks on a two-state solution. But Mearsheimer’s article jibed well with the paradigm of “I have nothing against Jews, but their state, and their ‘lobby,’ are at all times devious, manipulative, and cruel.”

From another standpoint, too, Mearsheimer’s hang-up with Israel (and Jews) should not come as a surprise, considering that in strongly pro-Israel America one of the main redoubts of Israel-phobia is academia. John Mearsheimer (and to a lesser extent his colleague Stephen Walt) has helped create a climate where Israel is singled out for bigoted boycotts and mendacious propaganda.
