        1. John Mearsheimer gets a lot of attention from pro-Palestine advocates, but this is what he thinks of self determination: "Abstract rights such as self-determination are largely meaningless when powerful states get into brawls with weaker states." @PeterBeinart @AliAbunimah

      Mearsheimer's critique of the pro-Israel lobby and support of Palestinian statehood has always been largely about power politics and political convenience. It wasn't a statement of moral principles.

    In essence he argued it was easier to confront Iraq or de-nuclearize Iran with more Arab states on side, and the whole Israeli occupation put a damper on that.
