Yanis Varoufakis Tells Me: Gaza Is A Genocide In Plain Sight

Yanis Varoufakis is one of the world’s most important thinkers. Here we discuss Gaza - including the question of genocide, the world order, history - and whether there is any hope at all.

So interesting to hear Yanis discuss Terra Nullius and how it is used as a tool of dehumanisation to justify mass slaughter. It is a term we learn about as Australians, albeit often through the lens of the coloniser, but to hear it applied to the atrocity happening in Gaza is jolting and at the same time, illuminating and disturbing. Centuries later and it is still possible to dehumanise whole populations, however, the difference here is that its consequences are happening blatantly in front of the eyes of the world and is yet remains unchecked. Thanks for the discussion, so important to hear voices speaking truth as to what is happening and to cut through this dehumanising language etc.

Well said Yanis. Your sane voice and humanity is much appreciated.

In a world that seems so hopeless, we should be grateful that there are still some people like Owen and Yanis unwilling to be bought or threatened into silence.

As citizen of the US I appreciate you so much for speaking on the self righteous hypocrisy and performative fraudulence of America. Being a descendent of enslaved Africans, I know first hand how this country is an elitist entity whose hubris and position is very much Do as I say, not as I do when it comes to dictating what other countries should do when they always have an excuse why they can't/won't/don't address the issues of their own citizens.

Yanis completely wrecked Biden. He was spot on.

Mr. Varoufakis has managed to give us a glimpse of hope in all this darkness. I find myself coming back constantly in times of crisis to his brave ways of analyzing situations. I still wish though this nightmare will end sooner than later. It’s becoming by the day more and more unbearable to watch. 😢

We Germans always fail in such matters. I've never been so ashamed to be German.
