Sheikh Hassan Mearsheimer's Latest Thoughts

By Jeffrey Goldberg
Jan 23 2009, 12:57 PM ET Comment

Al-Manar, the Hezbollah website and television station, reprints Mearsheimer's latest anti-Israel screed, this one more unhinged than usual.  Al-Manar warns readers that the "views expressed are the author's alone." I suppose the warning is necessary because Hezbollah finds Mearsheimer's views too stupid to fully endorse. The argument of the piece is that the perfidious Zionists still seek a "Greater Israel." Anyone who has spent more than ten minutes studying the beliefs of Rabin, Sharon, Olmert, Livni and Barak knows that this is bunk, but why would Mearsheimer care about facts? He has proven his distaste for reality already.
