On 6 July 2026, I was on The Community Alliance 4 Peace and Justice podcast with Professor Seyed Marandi from the University of Tehran, who is also closely linked to the Iranian government and often appears on other podcasts in the US.
It’s great to listen to facts always a pleasure but is sad to see that many people cling to shallow narratives because propaganda gives them an easy script to follow. It flatters their biases, numbs their curiosity, and rewards obedience over thought. Once someone is emotionally invested in a story, facts bounce off like rubber bullets. You can’t force depth into a mind that refuses to open — some people will stay trapped in the comfort of their illusions no matter how loudly reality knocks.
This is the first time I've seen Marandi and Mearsheier interviewed together. The agreement level is high and significant. Thank you the interviewers and the CA4PJ
...heee I think it is better to be shill for this,>> Genocide is not an anomaly, it is coded in the DNA of Western “civilization.”....100% right! heeeee study history books not him or me heee ''hail LITRA'' heeee
In any case, genocide certainly has its place in the West. The Dutch engaged in genocide in Indonesia, the French and British in the Caribbean and the North America, the Spanish in South America.
But unfortunately your analysis is narrow. Genocide is a part of all human history. The Turks engaged in genocide against the Armenians. The Hutus engaged in genocide against the Tutsis. And Saddam Hussein, an Arab, engaged in genocide against the Kurds relatively recently. Oh, and let's not forget the Islamic Republic of Iran's 1981 genocide against its own people.
Exactly what someone would expect from a classical zionist. A murderer who tries to justify himself in any possible way, even by pretending that genocide is a normal thing to do!
And the post WW2 narrative that the West has had shoved down its throat through film, MSM, the education system, and remembrance museums in every city is that ethnic nationalism is bad because it leads to genocides, that is until the ones forcing that view on us need to commit one themselves.
Spot on. Funny how they never mention the Soviet Union, that pesky sideshow empire that engaged in literally multiple genocides and conquered almost 1/6th of the entire planet. Last time I checked, they were not an ethnic nationalist empire, but rather, a class based one.
I can’t stop the genocide that doesn’t exist. But hopefully I can help you realize that you are a victim of a powerful mass propaganda campaign decades in the making.
I’m denying the intelligence of the argument that’s true. Gaza is an urban warfare battlefield. The reality is, the data shows very straightforwardly that Gaza is comparable to many other urban warfare environments. Mosul for example.
I guess the real question is. Why do you support Islamic fascism?

The strategic blunder Donald Trump has committed cannot be overstated. He is a complete fool, following a long line of fools before him.

Wonder what Mr Mearsheimer is going to say about these recent attacks by the Trump administration…
I don't think I lacks consistentcy. 50 years of academia
My man, if you are going to be a shill for Iran and Russia, at least like, pretend to not be.

This wasn't a proper sentence in English.

Logic is not your nature, clearly.
Murder is yours, definitely!
You got me.

Ok, so please stop the new genocide NOW.

What you’re saying is denialism! It’s like claiming that the Holocaust never happened!
CZ deludedly thinks argumentation is truth, so skip him.

What relationship
Prof. Marandi acts as media consultant for his country's government from time to time. Not a big deal.
With remarkably high skill IMO. His loyalties are I think pragmatic and to the right of Iranian middle of the road politics
