6:04 in the video, John Mearsheimer says the following:
"What's going on here is that Israel is more dependent on the United States for its security today than it has ever been in the past.
"In the beginning... Israel had these powerful military forces that could take care of themselves... [but] those days are long gone.
"Israel is, and I'm not exaggerating here, super dependent on the United States for its security. It's really quite amazing.
"What that means is that anything that threatens the "bond" or anything that threatens the special relationship between the United States and Israel, at this point in time, is going to mortify Israel's strongest supporters in the west.
"And this is what's happening here. The lobby is scared stiff about what's happening to public opinion on Israel in the United States, and as you were saying before, it's not just in the Democratic Party... it's on the right hand side of the political spectrum as well."
