Look again at the defence of Gilad Atzmon published by Messrs. Mearsheimer and Walt.
Mearsheimer links to an article by Gilad Atzmon entitled “Judea declares war on Obama“.
Atzmon illustrated the piece with this photo:
Atzmon writes in the piece:
Jewish lobbies certainly do not hold back when it comes to pressuring states, world leaders and even super powers. AIPAC’s behavior last week reminded me of the Jewish declaration of war against Nazi Germany in 1933.I obviously do not think that Obama has anything in common with Hitler. There is not much the two leaders share in terms of their philosophy, their attitude to humanism or their view of world peace.(Unlike President Obama who postponed his Far East trip just to meet Israeli PM and sent his Secretary of State to appease his Jewish opponents promising more confrontation with Iran, Hitler actually reacted furiously to Jewish pressure.)
