Note to the Prof: I don’t know if you read these comments, but I don’t know where else to post a note like this, so…

Just to say that I so value your brilliant analyses with the Judge, and am very grateful that you can make the time for those essential programs. His coterie of guests creates a wonderful little galaxy of intellectual stars who remind me how much we’ve lost in the traditional media, but are now finding elsewhere. Bravo to you and all.

Gaza is not a proxy war. It’s a genocide carried out by Zionists and financed by the US. As for Trump, inept or not, if they dangle a Nobel Peace Prize in front of him I’d bet he could be enlisted to work towards a resolution of that genocide. The ”Prize” has gone to worse candidates. As Tom Lehrer, the great satirical song writer, said on his retirement: “When Henry Kissinger was awarded the Nobel prize for peace, satire became impossible”.

Gives you a good appreciation how powerful and influential the AIPAC lobby is. It disgusts me!

Mersheimer's comment that Netanyahu and others thought they would drive the Palestinans out of Gaza and the West Bank after a short bombing campaign is a bit, or a whole lot far fetched. How could anyone think that cleansing Gaza of it's population would be anything other then a long and drawn out deadly process. I wonder why Mersheimer would ever come that conclusion

JM,

most Americans that lived through the 60s and saw Trump's goofy ineptitude know what Trump will do on the foreign policy front: pretty much what he did in last time in the WH. I dont see much chance that he'll end the proxy wars in Ukraine and Gaza.

Then after 4 years of Trump, and continued proxy wars in Gaza and Ukraine, the next guy in the WH will rinse, wash and repeat.

I hoped when Trump was shot in the ear, knowing the bullet was meant for his head, he would adopt a real anti-war policy, especially in regard to Israel. Wishful thinking I guess.; However he did make the comment on a Tucker Carlson show that was critical of Liz Cheney in regard to her being a war hawk , and said, how would she like if she had guns trained on her face, that is, so quick to send others to war. That was followed by accusations made by people like Kinzinger that he was a fascist and threatening her life. I think Trump made a good point.
