On 15 May 2025, I was on “Judging Freedom” talking with Judge Napolitano about Iran, Ukraine, Prime Minister Netanyahu, and the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
Still hopeful, in fact I just rehung my American flag off my deck because I will not be complicit in this genocide! I served my country always believing we were the good guys. After trump seems to have jettisoned Netanyahu, the flag went back up. Starting to second guess but still holding out hope, we'll see.
Hamas started this war on October 7 by slaughtering 1,200 innocent people and kidnapping 251 others. The war could have—and would have—ended the moment Hamas surrendered and released the hostages. Every day it continues is because they refuse. This war is on them, not Israel.
It's not a war between states. 7 October was a violent jailbreak.
Starving people is a war crime. Bombing hospitals is a war crime when not explicitly demonstrated that one takes fire from the hospital. Denying medicine and water and electricity to Gaza is a war crime. Dressing up like medical personnel and shooting people in a hospital (in the West Bank) is a war crime. Bombing aid workers of WCK who clearly carry signs on their vehicles and have notified to the IDF their route of travel, is a war crime. On and on.
Netanyahu benefits from the continuation of the killing he calls "war". Otherwise he most likely will go to jail for corruption. Biden and Blinken surely must go to jail for complicity in genocide. To hell with them both. AIPAC must be treated as a foreign agency. Trump doesn't change much in the betterment of Gazans. He is only interested in big business deals with e.g. MBS and the money from Adelson. In this sense Trump is as well to be called genocide Donald where Biden has already earned the title genocide Joe.
Hamas is guilty of putting Gazan civilians in this terrible situation. That is why the ICC had Hamas officials on their list of genocidal intent. They are all dead already.
The ICJ had cautioned Israel for war crimes remember?
The Palestinians are losers—and they’ll stay that way as long as they cling to their tired, rejectionist victim narrative. What they need is a clean break: new leaders who are willing to live in peace with their neighbors instead of obsessing over destruction. Ever wonder why the wealthy Gulf states don’t welcome Palestinians or send real aid? Because they know the truth. That truth is why those countries are lining up to normalize relations with Israel—while the Palestinians are left behind once again, with nothing. And they have no one to blame but themselves.
Initially, around 1946-1947, Palestinians, like the Druze, helped Jewish refugees into their land. The British tried to prevent Jews from fleeing to Palestine from e.g., Malta, where the Jewish refugees were held in camps. These Jews were mostly survivors of death camps like Auschwitz or people who survived the SS murdering of Jews in Warschaw 1943.
Then, in 1948, what Palestinians called, Nakba, occurred. Gaza was created. The Palestinians resisted deportation to other parts of Palestine. Please note that Palestine existed as a country. Golda Meir, for instance, held a Palestinian passport.
Sure, it's true that Palestinians lost wars and intifadas against their Israeli occupiers. Israel had a powerful ally, the US. The latter wanted a foothold in the Middle East to protect the US oil interests. Israel became a powerful influence on US foreign policy.
Note that indeed Israel existed in th old days and that Jews needed a homeland to be certain that the extermination never would be repeated on Jews.
So the Palestinians became what you call losers. Perhaps better: losers by design of both Israel and the US.
But does that justify the copycat behaviour of SS colonel Stroop’s attempted destruction of the Jewish ghetto of Warshaw in 1943? The Jews fought back with sobs and rigles. It is pretty much like the Palestinians are now fighting the Israeli copycat SS.
Is your label of “losers” nothing but a fig leaf for allowing Israeli copycat fascists to do SS Einsatzgruppe activities in Gaza and the West Bank?
So were the 1200 innocent people slaughtered on October 7 and many of the 251 hostages who have been living in intolerable conditions, with many of them dead. Hamas is to blame for all innocents killed.
So an 'eye for an eye' is the way you see it? Times 50? Actually many times that given the horrific injuries and amputations from those children crushed in the rubble from 2000 lb bombs. Sorry Hamas has no bombers.
deflection. it's a genocide. Israel is guilt of genocide. Israel has become a monster. No getting around it mr jewish person. the whole world knows what you are.
did you listen to the interview of Mearsheimer? you didn't. go back and listen to it. he stated that the way the Israelis have chosen to prosecute this war is against any human standards of behavior. this is a genocide. all you want to do is argue. that's the extent of your brain.
Nuremberg Law outlawed wars of aggression. Israel is conducting a War of Extermination like the Nazis in the 1930s. Without American aid, Israel collapses! Trump is, by definition, a War criminal who should hang next to Netanyahu.
Hamas started this war on October 7 by slaughtering 1,200 innocent people and kidnapping 251 others. The war could have—and would have—ended the moment Hamas surrendered and released the hostages. Every day it continues is because they refuse. This war is on them, not Israel.
Without a steady stream of US weapons (often gifted!) the systematic slaughter of Gaza's entire population would not be possible.
Without US running interference vs the ICC and ICJ, the systematic slaughter would not be possible.
Without US rapidly expanding DHS to intimidate our own young people, most of who can easily see these historical crimes for what they are, the systematic slaughter would not be possible.

The WW2 Holocaust was a sympathy card that the Zionists have been playing for 90 years. Among other things the Gaza genocide has just about caused that to expire. Read/listen to Ilan Pape, Gideon Levy, Max Blumenthal, Miko Peled, Katy Halper. To name just a few to get the real story not the hasbara.
And most of our bought and paid for political class are silent about the killing. The irony is, many of the Arabs have waaay more moneythan the Zionists and Transactional Don will always go where the 💰 is. Sorry, Miriam, $100 million is chicken feed.

The policy on Gaza and Palestine goes beyond any one administration. We're talking lucrative real estate on the Mediterranean, and a lot of greedy fingers in this pie. Everyone involved is permanently stained a pariah by this pernicious enterprise: may they never find peace.
Trump said long before he was elected that the "Israel should just finish them", is it not absurd to discuss if the Empire`s evils can now be relabeled as Trump`s, perhaps we should discuss if it preferable that the Empire`s evils are being led by a gangster clown Emperor, or do we prefer the evils be led by evil minions of a senile gangster Emperor?
Of course, genocide Joe did the mother of all genocides against the Palestinian people in Palestine, the historical beloved motherland of the Palestinian people. This was not a just an ordinary, the mother of genocides. As those heinous, barbaric, naked European savages, aka Jews cult lethal terrorist outfit used genocide Joe's heavy artillery war tanks, heavy mega-bombs for aerial dropping nonstop 24/7, helicopter gunships, and fast jets to strafe densely populated townships to see that everyone getting butchered, and mass murdered, including men, women, children, infants, and mothers breast-suckling babies. This is the hallmark of genocide Joe's 21st-century, the mother of all genocides. When so-called Dems Party man does ignominious, egregious butchery, and slaughter - it was very easy for heartless, inhumane, self-aggrandized barbaric, obscene Christian Bible carrying Trump to trigger mass murder of the Palestinian people in faster pace mindlessly. All these are doing by these master butchers with their naked European savages who illegally, forcibly occupying Palestine - dumped by those colonial European barbarian savages as their shit or fecal matter due to infighting - barbaric European Christian savages versus barbaric European Jews cult (been Christian brute's sidekick). This turf war, conveniently named and labeled some dirty, filthy, vulgar language "Holocaust" biz!
WTF Professor, guess you have been travelling so much you are missing the latest events. Of all the bad timing you suggest the title "Genocide Don". Netanyahu thru AIPAC owned America since Biden was loyal the Jewish State. The apartheid, its racistic Jewish supremacy law and the Israeli war against both kids and the International Humanitarian Law were not noticed by America's demented-in-chief. So right now you say "Genocide Don almost a week after he arranged the release of a Hamas hostage for the first time bypassing Israel, visited Saudi Arabia, wooing its leaders, ended Syrian sanctions and talked about changing the description and identification of Americas enemies, perhaps opening the description to entry of Netanyahu himself, aqnd he has given Netanyahu the silent treatment , the harbinger of a dispproval, perhaps even leading to something more than a slap on the wrist. But even a slap on the wrist is step toewards the liberation of American Mideast policy from the almosr complete control of the Jewish State and its agent in America, AIPAC: NOT A SINGLE DEMOCRAT COULD STOP OR EVEN LESSEN THE GENOCIDE IN GAZA. Biden flatly refused to apply America's leverage despite -israel's almost total military and economic dependence upon the United States. Trump seems to be telegraphing a divorce between the American State and Defense Departments from Israel unless Netanyahu/Ben Gvir intractability ends.
Still hopeful, in fact I just rehung my American flag off my deck because I will not be complicit in this genocide! I served my country always believing we were the good guys. After trump seems to have jettisoned Netanyahu, the flag went back up. Starting to second guess but still holding out hope, we'll see.
Trump has not jettisoned Netanyahu
He has not told them to stop the bombing and killing
He talks about Palestinians with total disdain
He proposes food but with a plan to decide who gets to eat by using facial recognition
I’m so frightened for the Palestinians and I have no trust in Trump
I’m an Australian Pro Palestinian Jewish women who will
Never Give Up on my support

Good luck with denying all that.

Have you heard of Arab revolt in 1930's? Do you know that Arabs had murdered all Jews in Hebron in 1929? Is this what you call "welcome"?
No. I haven't heard of that. I also haven't said that that all Arabs welcomed Jews.
Many of the 50,000+ dead are women, children and elderly. Are THEY 'losers'?? Big Don also likes that term, must be a MAGA favorite.
So were the 1200 innocent people slaughtered on October 7 and many of the 251 hostages who have been living in intolerable conditions, with many of them dead. Hamas is to blame for all innocents killed.
false flag. Netanyahu ran in his own hamas terrorists that he trained in Qatar. he is responsible for the death of his own people. wake up.
So an 'eye for an eye' is the way you see it? Times 50? Actually many times that given the horrific injuries and amputations from those children crushed in the rubble from 2000 lb bombs. Sorry Hamas has no bombers.
Israel has been slaughtering Palestinians since 1948, right?
deflection. it's a genocide. Israel is guilt of genocide. Israel has become a monster. No getting around it mr jewish person. the whole world knows what you are.
Kikes seem to love calling people "losers". Get your meds ASAP!
Stay tuned…
HOW DOES THAT KOOL-AID TASTE?
It’s called TRUTH.
It's THC tea.
did you listen to the interview of Mearsheimer? you didn't. go back and listen to it. he stated that the way the Israelis have chosen to prosecute this war is against any human standards of behavior. this is a genocide. all you want to do is argue. that's the extent of your brain.

Nice to see they have intellectuals like you on this site.
Indeed.

Gifted with American taxpayer dollars and US debt.
To call Israel's Nazis is an insult to Nazis. Israelis are worse than Nazis.
Pure evil. Genocide Don is a monster.

Excellent points Professor! Perhaps we should be referring to President Donald J. Trump as "Deranged Despotic Don" or "The Triple D."
And the same goes for Vance, and the rest in Trump's 2nd Administration.

Love your work Prof. John!
Read some ( I am a slow reader ) of your books.
Fortunate are the students who have had you as a teacher.
You give us hope.
Thank you!

Jews have been killing Palestinians for 77 years, when they started killing Palestinians there was no Hamas, what was their (your) excuse then?
The policy on Gaza and Palestine goes beyond any one administration. We're talking lucrative real estate on the Mediterranean, and a lot of greedy fingers in this pie. Everyone involved is permanently stained a pariah by this pernicious enterprise: may they never find peace.
Mearsheimer, you have turned into an old jew hating goat. I now realize you are wrong on everything.
Genocide Don? After roughly 100 days he's "Genocide Don". It's deplorable for you to stop so low. I'm out of here.
No it was not Dr Donny Horton who heard a who he is a neurosurgeon or was news nine chasing me by car and helicopter when is enough enough

YES - ABSOLUTELY. I would add FASCIST GENOCIDE DON, to his moniker.
