Last Thursday Martin Kramer noted a very telling piece of information about University of Chicago professor John Mearsheimer, co-author with Stephen Walt of “The Israel Lobby”—he signed a bizarre document in 2003 that urged the world community to condemn Israel in advance for ethnically cleansing Palestinians under cover of the Iraq War: John Mearsheimer: the man who knew too little.

This overheated accusation was wrong, of course. But wacademics like Mearsheimer are rarely held to account for being wrong in their wild predictions.

The web site that hosted the petition (professorsofconscience.org) is now offline, but thanks to the Internet Archive Wayback Machine you can still see Mearsheimer’s signature affixed to this ludicrous document: Internet Archive Wayback Machine: http://www.professorsofconscience.org.
