John Mearsheimer on Philadelphia radio:
The idea that [Charles Freeman] is some kind of lone ranger wandering around making irresponsible statements is the typical smear campaign that the lobby makes of anyone who is critical of Israel…
Barack Obama pandered to the Israel lobby coming and going. What did he do during the recent Gaza war… He kept silent. The idea that Barack Obama has backbone on this issue is laughable. Barack Obama is not going to challenge the lobby. He did absolutely nothing to save Charles Freeman. And if anybody thinks that Barack Obama is going to put pressure on Israel to give the Palestinians a state, they're living in Disneyland…
