História

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. John J. Mearsheimer, PhD (born December 1947) is an American professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago. He is an international relations theorist. Known for his book on offensive realism, The Tragedy of Great Power Politics, more recently Mearsheimer has attracted attention for co-authoring and publishing the article The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy, which was subsequently published as a book, becoming a New York Times Best Seller. His most recent book, entitled Why Leaders Lie: The Truth About Lying in International Politics, "catalogs the kinds of lies nations tell each other." According to an interview with Mearsheimer in the Boston Globe, the lesson of the book is: "Lie selectively, lie well, and ultimately be good at what you do."

Self (as John J. Mearsheimer)
The documentary exposes the ways in which America's foreign policy agenda in the Middle East drives the U.S. media's portrayals of Arabs and Muslims. The film lays bare the truths behind taboo subjects that are conspicuously avoided, or merely treated as sound bites, by the mainstream American media: "Why do they hate us?" "Why do we hate them?" What were the events that led to the 9/11 attacks? What are the politics behind the U.S.-Israeli relationship? Why is there a robust debate about these subjects in Europe, the Arab World and in Israel itself, but not in the U.S.? Valentino's Ghost provides a fresh inquiry which challenges the media's daily barrage of rhetoric and misinformation about our complex and vital relationship with this part of the world

O filme questiona nossas percepções e terminologias quando um evento proclamado por alguns como anti-semita é descrito por outros como uma crítica legítima às políticas governamentais de Israel. O filme caminha ao longo da fronteira entre o anti-sionismo, rejeitando a noção de um Estado judeu e o anti-semitismo, rejeitando os judeus. O primeiro está sendo usado para desculpar o último? E existe uma diferença entre o anti-semitismo de hoje e o racismo antigo que afeta todas as minorias?
