On 15 January 2024, I discussed Israel’s presentation to the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which had just taken place on 12 January 2024, with Judge Napolitano on his show, “Judging Freedom.” He and I had previously discussed South Africa’s presentation to the ICJ, which took place on 11 January 2024, and which charges Israel with committing genocide in Gaza.
Excellent analysis and commentary, gentlemen! The South Africa ICJ presentation was top notch, factual and indisputable. Israel's argument is essentially "Remember the holocaust. Remember 7 October 2023. We claim self defense (even though an occupying cannot claim self defense against the occupied population). Pay no attention to those dead civilians, journalists and aide workers, and those bombed out hospitals, churches and apartment buildings." That is, it is a non-defense.
Excellent presentation, professor. I am currently reading your latest book, The Tragedy of Great Power Politics and it is very enlightening for me to see this current crisis through that lens. Excellent work!
This was excellent! Your presentations are always so true and calm that I feel better after listening.
no matter how one slices and dices this cheese...it stinks of genocide. The watching world knows it....

It is always interesting and educational to listen to Professor Meerscheimer’s thoughtful, clear sighted and unbiased discussions.
Thank you Judge for providing access for us to hear Prof. Meerscheimer and for leading the discussion.
I respected Judge Napolitano Dr. Mearsheimer before his last several interviews where he showed his anti Israel antisemitic bias
Any links to or transcriptions of the proceeding?
Always top notch, Professor.☮️
