Presumably that comes from this book:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Israel_Lobby_and_U.S._Foreign_Policy

Haven't read it myself, but from the summary it looks like he's talking about Israel, not Jewish people. We're all familiar with the difference.

Wait, seriously? I knew he's a ghoul, but I liked using him as an source for libs when talking about why Ukraine was the West's fault. I don't want to use him for anything anymore though if he legit thinks that?

Its the usual stuff with these "realist" geopolitics guys, really it should be called "culturalist" instead of "realist". They see the world firstmost as a clash of culture, and since some very powerful people in the world are jewish, their logical conclusion is that jews run the world but more eloquently.

I will hit you up with the article when i find it.
