<p>Professor <a href="http://mearsheimer.uchicago.edu/" target="_blank">John Mearsheimer</a> is subject to a Zionist trans-Atlantic attack for supporting my latest book <span id="apture_prvw1" class="aptureLink "><span class="aptureLinkIcon" style="background-position:right -1350px;"> </span><a class="aptureLink snap_noshots" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1846948754?tag=apture-20"><em>The Wandering Who?</em></a></span></p>
<p>Earlier this year John Mearsheimer, the highly respected international relations theorist and Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago, wrote the following preliminary <span id="apture_prvw2" class="aptureLink "><span class="aptureLinkIcon" style="background-position:right -1350px;"> </span><a class="aptureLink snap_noshots" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book%20design">front matter</a></span> for my book:</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color:#696969;">Gilad Atzmon has written a fascinating and provocative book on Jewish identity in the modern world. He shows how assimilation and liberalism are making it increasingly difficult for Jews in the Diaspora to maintain a powerful sense of their &#8216;Jewishness.&#8217; Panicked Jewish leaders, he argues, have turned to Zionism (blind loyalty to Israel) and scaremongering (the threat of another holocaust) to keep the tribe united and distinct from the surrounding <em>goyim</em> [gentiles]. As Atzmon’s own case demonstrates, this strategy is not working and is causing many Jews great anguish. <em>The Wandering Who?</em> should be widely read by Jews and non-Jews alike.</span></p></blockquote>
<h3>Israel’s UK mouthpiece and the ex-concentration camp guard</h3>
<p>It seems that the Zio-cons on both sides of the pond are now in a state of panic. In an obviously orchestrated attack, Britain’s Zionist mouthpiece, the <a href="http://www.thejc.com/news/world-news/55168/mearsheimer-backs-book-antisemite" target="_blank"><em>Jewish Chronicle</em></a>, the <a href="http://hurryupharry.org/2006/10/20/weve-been-nominated/" target="_blank">Islamophobia Award nominee</a> neo-conservative website <a href="http://tinyurl.com/6yblwp7" target="_blank"><em>Harry’s Place</em></a> and the ex-Israeli concentration camp guard <a href="http://tinyurl.com/3mrwe8h" target="_blank">Jeffrey Goldberg</a>, have all launched a typical <em>hasbara</em> smear-and-intimidation  campaign, in which they labelled both Professor Mearsheimer and me anti Semites. I was also called a “neo Nazi”, a “Hitler apologist”, a “Holocaust denier” and a “hatemonger”.</p>

<p>To be honest, it is somewhat amusing that Goldberg, an ex-concentration camp guard, labels me a “Hitler apologist” or a “Holocaust denier”. After all, since Goldberg is an ardent pro-war Zionist who openly and enthusiastically supports a Jews-only, racist, expansionist state, it is clear that he is actually the one who is an advocate of a distinctly Nazi-like ideology and practice.

He left America for Israel, joined the Israeli army and served as a <a href="http://www.jeffreygoldberg.net/books/prisoners/" target="_blank">prison guard</a> in an Israeli concentration camp during the first <em>Intifada</em>.)</p>
<h3>The American neo-con Zionist</h3>
<p>In addition, I learned from Goldberg that <a href="http://adamholland.blogspot.com/2011/09/john-mearsheimer-supports-anti-semitic.html" target="_blank">Adam Holland</a>, another notorious Zionist zealot, also cannot quite believe that Professor Mearsheimer would endorse my book.</p>
<p>Adam Holland wrote:</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color:#696969;">I had trouble believing that a distinguished professor at one of the world&#8217;s greatest universities would link himself to a hatemonger like Atzmon. So I sent Professor Mearsheimer an email quoting the blurb and asking him to verify its accuracy. I also gave him an opportunity to amend it or add to it. Here&#8217;s what he [Mearsheimer] wrote back:</span></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#696969;">“The blurb below is the one I wrote for The Wandering Who? and I have no reason to amend it or embellish it, as it accurately reflects my view of the book.&#8221; John J. Mearsheimer</span></em></p></blockquote>
<p>What is clear to the rest of us is that our Zionist detractors are fighting a lost battle. I really wonder what they hope to achieve: after all, those who have taken the time to actually read my work know very well that there is no hatred, no anti Semitism and no racism in my entire body of work. Instead, I believe that truth is a dynamic process – I believe in the power of reason and in free debate.</p>
<p>If Jeffrey Goldberg has any dignity left at all, then he should start again. He should apologise to Professor Mearsheimer, me and the Palestinians – and to humanity. He would do better to also try to present an argument, and if he actually has anything to say, he would be best advised to then learn how to argue and encounter in debate.</p>
