I am a white South African who grew up in Apartheid. I can say looking at what is happening in Palestine gives me so much perspective. I am so glad we found a peaceful solution. I can honestly say that, without diminishing the suffering of blacks in South Africa the level of hatred in Israel is on another level. We have our challenges here in South Africa but it is better than committing genocide and constant war.
So you White Apartheid South African allowed Blacks in arts, culture, military, police, science, government, justice?? In Apartheid South Africa a black judge could bring a white ex president to jail during 1980th??? No??????? So check out everything is possible for Arabs in Israel. And you are lacking education about this.
@andrefouche9682 This depends on your definition of peaceful and to be fair your country is hardly in a position to support any notion of perspective considering it fails abysmally at its own political leadership.

DO NOT BELIEVE THIS MAN. Everything he says is just a political game, and a place in the hierarchy. He is Greek!! It comes from a country that brought "DEMOCRACY" BUT unfortunately it's all a BIG LIE. Greece!! and North Korea are the only countries in the world where only Greeks live in Greece and North Korea only North Koreans. 140 years ago, GREECE ethnically expelled (cleansed) all Macedonians from the north of Greece. WITH the land leveled, villages and cities where the Macedonians lived, raped, robbed and killed everyone, from the smallest baby to the elderly. Those who stayed were forced to change their names, surnames, cities, villages, rivers..... Everything. That's how it is to this day, Macedonians are FORBIDDEN to speak their language, mistreated, fired from their JOB, and some even in prison, just because they are Macedonians. And all this is supported by the "DEMOCRATIC" European Union. E.U.

Same here, I thought I would adopt for one DAY the position they have decided to adopt for DECADES knowing the suffering of another people, and while they have all the power and tools to change the situation long time ago, they have all the rights, economical privileges that a state can give, all the Western political and media support.

Thank you Yanis for presenting the alternate view to the situation in Israel/Gaza. More people need to hear it. I despise what is happening at the moment. I live in Australia and hate how politics and racist attitudes have caused so much harm to the Indigenous people of this country. I was recently in Alice Springs and felt very safe there. From there the tour I was on returned to Perth via Uluru and remote WA. I made a point of connecting with the local Indigenous and bought small art works whenever I could. Most of my fellow travellers had nothing to do with them, some being outright racist. I am embarrassed to live in this country. Both major polical parties no longer receive my support for this and other issues. Most Australians don't care. I will share this video. Take care. ❤

Thank you for your eloquent, well thought out and thoroughly researched speech ❤ please, everyone share this as far and wide as possible. We have to come together as one, and do whatever is necessary to bring this madness to an end for good.
The term “West Bank” is a modern designation that lacks historical precedent or validity. This region is historically known as Judea, a name deeply rooted in Jewish history and heritage. The name “West Bank” was coined by Jordan following its armed and hostile invasion of the area in 1948 until the end of its occupation in 1967. However, this land has been intrinsically linked to the Jewish people for millennia. Judea is the land from which the Jews (i.e. Judeans) originate, a region where the Judean mountains form the backbone of the landscape. It is the territory historically allotted to the Tribe of Judah, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The Judeans, or Jews, have lived in this area for many centuries, establishing a rich historical legacy. The cultural significance of Judea to the Jewish people cannot be overstated, making the term “West Bank” a misnomer that overlooks the profound connection between the land and its ancient inhabitants.
"American and European leaders live in a simple, rational region that bears not the slightest resemblance to the real Middle East." Today, France is memorializing two schoolteachers here who were killed by jihadists. French social media is full of declarations that France will never give an inch to this barbarism. So France understands this problem perfectly--which makes it all the more perplexing that where Israel's concerned, they don't. The US has spent 20 years fighting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. We have a damned good idea how little jihadists aspire to the things we think they should want. Again, this makes it all the more perplexing that we're either blind to this or pretending to be where Israel's concerned.
People don't understand yet, that this is not just about Palestinians or other minorities. It's about the simple question "Do we want to live in a world, ruled by men with guns?" If we let armed nations and organisations decide the fate of those who can't defend themselves, it's only a question of time until they will decide your fate too. I don't have a gun, and i don't want to live in a world where i'd need one. Do you?

Thank you Mr. Varoufakis for having the courage, honesty, decency and integrity to put this horrific genocide, into proper perspective! As an American of the Jewush faith, I am outraged at my own government’s complicity, in directly facilitating this nightmare, for all these decades. The unconditional support we give Israel in the form of billions in economic and military aid, as well as political cover in the U.N., to continue these horrific atrocities against the civilian population of Palestine, is both appalling and inexcusable on so many levels. The wealthy Jewish billionaire donor class and the piwerful forces of the Israeli Lobby, have a stranglehold on the U.S. Congress and our foreign policy initiatives in the Middle East! It is disgraceful and unlawful that such conditions exist! I am equally unsettled by the psychopathic genocidal policies of the Israeli government and military, with regard to their brutal and inhumane policies towards the Paelestinians I’m Israel and now the civilian population of southern Lebanon. The evil that Israel continues to inflict upon these civilian populations, is quite frankly incomprehensible!!! I sadly agree with everything you elaborated upon in this podcast. The blood that is on the hands of the Zionists in and outside of Israel, as well as their Western backers, will remain an example of extreme brutality and inhumanity, for eternity! I am ashamed that so many in the West turned a blind eye to this tragedy for all these decades! Thank you for bringing these critically important topics to our attention, in your latest podcast. At some point, I pray someone will intervene to put an end to the needless suffering , sacrifice and hardship, that these defenseless civilians in Palestine and Lebanon are being forced to endure! Thank you for continuing to keep us all well informed about these extraordinarily important events. You are doing an excellent job, please keep up the good work!
This is the most depressing post I've ever come across on the internet. The self-righteous denial of reality is doubly sad as it's clear that you are sincere in your delusions.
Keep speaking up. Judaism is NOT Zionism and we must not let fascists high jack our humanity. I'm Christian Palestinian born in Canada to a father denied right of return. Free Palestine.

Substitute 'ideologically driven and self-promoting' for 'thoughtful and courageous' and you might be nearer the truth. I also thank Yanis for being as ineffective in his efforts to smear Israel as he was in his efforts to save the Greek economy. Complete dilettante.

Well greek supporting dhimmitude as a great achievement of Islamic greatness is very astonishing. Did you hear about the story of Hadj Amin El Hisseini Mufti of Jerusalem, killer of jews and friend of Hitler? Do you know what Dhimmitude is? Maybe your parents practived it against jews. So you regret a loss of status giving you the option of behaving like a mafia culture against jews, exacting ransom while humiliating the jews.
You do not seem to have any idea about the history of the jewish people nor the history of the region of Judea and Samaria you call Palestine. I hope you know what the ancient greek word "idiot" means, as I call you so. Start getting education
Thank you Mr. Varoufakis! You always have a great breakdown and analysis of the important issues. Thank you for your integrity and compassion. Free Palestine!✊
We must be hopeful. There was a time in South Africa when NO ONE thought we would ever be a democracy, and not just a democracy but with complete religious tolerance. We stand behind the Palestinians with high hopes that this is going to be the end of their suffering under the Israelis and the end of the misrepresentation of their position in many counties around the world. USA, UK, and many Western European countries.

I pay my respects to you and your brilliant intervention. Palestine became "My Cause" since I was 12 years old and I'm moving fast to my 73. When I was 12, I read a book on Palestine written by some French author, whose name I forgot. My brother who was 2 years older than me brought that book from the Gulbenkian library existing in town (Guarda) in Portugal. We both learned French in school at the time. Our father subscribed a French magazine "Paris Match" that only wrote about Israel and never about Palestine. We had not much access to news, we lived under dictatorship which was finished with a mild revolution on 25 April 1974 (the so-called "Carnation Revolution"). My husband and I went to Germany at the end of October 1972, he had a contract as "Optiker -Gastarbeiter" and I went with him only as tourist. People did not know much about Palestine either but there came sometimes some news on television. There were no activists at least not in Stuttgart where we lived. Some time after the 25 April 1974 Revolution, we came to Portugal and staid for a few days in order to celebrate the first 1st May (1974) legally in Freedom and returned to Germany on the 2nd May. There were some more news about Palestine and Israel, but no good news. The "Nakba" that had begun in April 1948, before the proclamation of the Independent State of Israel with hundreds of dead and expelled Palestinians throughout several villages and towns had continued and now we also had some news about everything. I am an Activist since then. We returned to Portugal for good on the 1st August 1976 with our older son who will be 49 years old in February. Thank you for everything you do for Palestine. You are a very special human being.
It is so painful to watch what is happening to the Palestinians when there seems nothing we can do to prevent it. Our governments do not listen to the will of the people in this matter - neither do they follow the will of the law in this respect.

Excellent observation, Mr. Varoufakis! Thank you for your courage to comment on this sensitive topic and to point out the importance of noticing the main western media propaganda cliches…
In an empire of lies, truth is seen as terrorism !
God the Father save us from those who seek to destroy us - Palestine today, every other country will suffer the same fate next.
Rancid cowardice by so called ‘developed nations’.
Thank you Yanis for presenting the alternate view to the situation in Israel/Gaza. More people need to hear it. I despise what is happening at the moment.
I live in Australia and hate how politics and racist attitudes have caused so much harm to the Indigenous people of this country. I was recently in Alice Springs and felt very safe there. From there the tour I was on returned to Perth via Uluru and remote WA. I made a point of connecting with the local Indigenous and bought small art works whenever I could. Most of my fellow travellers had nothing to do with them, some being outright racist. I am embarrassed to live in this country. Both major polical parties no longer receive my support for this and other issues. Most Australians don't care.
I will share this video. Take care. ❤
The whole world is watching 😢
Thank you yiani!
The world knows the Jews in occupied Palestine are guilty of genocide and should be punished for it.
DO NOT BELIEVE THIS MAN. Everything he says is just a political game, and a place in the hierarchy. He is Greek!! It comes from a country that brought "DEMOCRACY" BUT unfortunately it's all a BIG LIE. Greece!! and North Korea are the only countries in the world where only Greeks live in Greece and North Korea only North Koreans. 140 years ago, GREECE ethnically expelled (cleansed) all Macedonians from the north of Greece. WITH the land leveled, villages and cities where the Macedonians lived, raped, robbed and killed everyone, from the smallest baby to the elderly. Those who stayed were forced to change their names, surnames, cities, villages, rivers..... Everything. That's how it is to this day, Macedonians are FORBIDDEN to speak their language, mistreated, fired from their JOB, and some even in prison, just because they are Macedonians. And all this is supported by the "DEMOCRATIC" European Union. E.U.
Thank you for continuing your activism and speaking for the Palestinians!
God bless you and your work, Yanis. Truly a figure our generation can look up to.
Thank You Yanis for the TRUTHFUL explanation 🙏
You seriously? This is pure Gebbels propaganda.
@annaportnoy You have the right to find what you want, and the same applies to everyone. For me, Yanis hits the nail on the head with his historical explanation, and I will leave it at that...
@@ramonknijff6316 Нe justifies the 21st century pogrom by calling it resistance to white colonialism.!!!! And the anti-Semites of the late 19th century, organizing pogroms in Russia, shouted at the Jews to go to their historical homeland Palestine.Recovery of Israel, on the contrary, this is a successful example of decolonialism
Thank you very much .. God bless you.
Well said Thank you Yunis. for telling the truth about Palestine I can't say it better ❤
Thank you Yanis.
Thanks Yanis, bravely speaking truth to power.
Thank you for this Yanis 🙏🏼
Brave and truthful intellectual. Many thanks for your straightforwardness. Excellent talk and very enlightening ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Such a clever and honest man, we need more like Yanis in this world! Thank you for all hard work!
Gianni! I AM listening to you. At this point, yours is the only complete competent, and lucid voice on the real issue....focused.
Thank you!!!
Bravo the truth must be told
Thank you yanis for your intelligence and humanity.
Yanis you are one of my favourite people
Mine too!
Thanks to Prof Varoufakis for speaking the truth! I wish all the leaders were like you
Excellent program
Mr Varoufakis, you Sir are a true Hero,a Gentleman of compassion and with a heart of gold. Thank you for your eloquent, well thought out and thoroughly researched speech ❤ please, everyone share this as far and wide as possible. We have to come together as one, and do whatever is necessary to bring this madness to an end for good.
Thanks Yanis...God bless you 🙏
Thanks Yanis for the right on analysis.
Palestine is a focal point but freedom is needed worldwide
Watch "Europa the last battle". Everything is explained there.
Learn real history of Rome and the replacement psychopaths. Only the name, capitals change throughout history.
The term “West Bank” is a modern designation that lacks historical precedent or validity. This region is historically known as Judea, a name deeply rooted in Jewish history and heritage. The name “West Bank” was coined by Jordan following its armed and hostile invasion of the area in 1948 until the end of its occupation in 1967. However, this land has been intrinsically linked to the Jewish people for millennia.
Judea is the land from which the Jews (i.e. Judeans) originate, a region where the Judean mountains form the backbone of the landscape. It is the territory historically allotted to the Tribe of Judah, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The Judeans, or Jews, have lived in this area for many centuries, establishing a rich historical legacy. The cultural significance of Judea to the Jewish people cannot be overstated, making the term “West Bank” a misnomer that overlooks the profound connection between the land and its ancient inhabitants.
@@samuelross9884 Stop. The. BS.

Thanks a lot for your honesty and hard working 👏👏👏👏
Thanks Janis, right to the point with us being the agents of history
"American and European leaders live in a simple, rational region that bears not the slightest resemblance to the real Middle East." Today, France is memorializing two schoolteachers here who were killed by jihadists. French social media is full of declarations that France will never give an inch to this barbarism. So France understands this problem perfectly--which makes it all the more perplexing that where Israel's concerned, they don't. The US has spent 20 years fighting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. We have a damned good idea how little jihadists aspire to the things we think they should want. Again, this makes it all the more perplexing that we're either blind to this or pretending to be where Israel's concerned.
Thank you, Yanis.
I agree with every word.
Free free...💔
thanks for exposing your nuanced view, Yanis
it is indeed unbelievable that this is happening with so much impunity
Thank you brother standing up for humanity
Bravo. Thank you for your stance and time.
People don't understand yet, that this is not just about Palestinians or other minorities. It's about the simple question "Do we want to live in a world, ruled by men with guns?" If we let armed nations and organisations decide the fate of those who can't defend themselves, it's only a question of time until they will decide your fate too. I don't have a gun, and i don't want to live in a world where i'd need one. Do you?
Yeah, i also do not want to live in a world Led by Hamas or Hezbollah. Or Iran. I would prefer to live in Israel.
@@MonikaDragan-u9i I would prefer to live in your house. Of course that also means you can't live there.
@@Tom_Quixote what does this have to do with what I wrote and with the previous comment? no idea :) regards!
@@MonikaDragan-u9i Hamas is created and bred by the Genocide acts of Israel against Palestinians during the last 76 years.... Do you still prefer living in Israel?
@@MonikaDragan-u9i probably you do not understand the word "occupation", meaning invading by using army-force and living in a land that is NOT yours.... this is what Israelis are doing to Palestinians. So, yes... do you want us to come and live in your house???
Yasou Yanis, God be with you ! always, always !
Thank you so much. Your words are so refreshing.🥀
Yanis, thanks for your continued support
Great analysis Yanis, as always. A clear voice during these trying times.
Very good intervention of Mister Varoufakis ! Thank you.
Your speak ist true. Thank you, save Palestina!
no he isn't. He called it a white imperialist project. No! Palestinians are being replaced by Jewish settler, not white. What about the Jewish influence behind whites in Europe being replaced by non whites. Also his info re Australia is wrong just untrue
Thank you, great video. Keep up the good work.
Exceptional - we are so fortunate to have spokesmen such as Yanis, at this time of horrifying revelations..
This is excellent. Thank You for this talk, Its on point.
Yes! Thank you for your clear words for the truth behind the actions!
excellent !
Brilliant and touching discussion
Thanks Yanis, You are absolutely right
Thank you Mr. Varoufakis for having the
courage, honesty, decency and integrity
to put this horrific genocide, into
proper perspective! As an American of
the Jewush faith, I am outraged at my
own government’s complicity, in directly
facilitating this nightmare, for all these
decades. The unconditional support we
give Israel in the form of billions in
economic and military aid, as well as
political cover in the U.N., to continue
these horrific atrocities against the
civilian population of Palestine, is
both appalling and inexcusable on
so many levels. The wealthy
Jewish billionaire donor class and
the piwerful forces of the Israeli
Lobby, have a stranglehold on the
U.S. Congress and our foreign policy
initiatives in the Middle East! It is
disgraceful and unlawful that such
conditions exist! I am equally
unsettled by the psychopathic
genocidal policies of the Israeli
government and military, with
regard to their brutal and
inhumane policies towards the
Paelestinians I’m Israel and now the
civilian population of southern
Lebanon. The evil that Israel
continues to inflict upon these
civilian populations, is quite frankly
incomprehensible!!! I sadly agree
with everything you elaborated upon
in this podcast. The blood that is on
the hands of the Zionists in and outside
of Israel, as well as their Western backers,
will remain an example of extreme
brutality and inhumanity, for eternity!
I am ashamed that so many in the West
turned a blind eye to this tragedy for all
these decades!
Thank you for bringing these critically
important topics to our attention, in
your latest podcast. At some point, I
pray someone will intervene to put an
end to the needless suffering , sacrifice
and hardship, that these defenseless
civilians in Palestine and Lebanon are
being forced to endure!
Thank you for continuing to keep us
all well informed about these
extraordinarily important events.
You are doing an excellent job,
please keep up the good work!
This is the most depressing post I've ever come across on the internet. The self-righteous denial of reality is doubly sad as it's clear that you are sincere in your delusions.
@@faustoferrari4303kindly elaborate on the delusions you speak of and back it up with evidence.
Keep speaking up. Judaism is NOT Zionism and we must not let fascists high jack our humanity. I'm Christian Palestinian born in Canada to a father denied right of return. Free Palestine.

YT get on the right side if history and stop erasing ny comments,!
Every word @johathangold has written is TRUE, yes, its horrific, but the truth of this barbaric genocide. No one with a glimmer of humanity can deny it, its an insult to the suffering of the Palestinians and the World!
100 Per Cent Truth .Very Well Spoken Yanis..Keep Up The Good Work! Along With The Good People Out There In This World 🙏 ❤
God bless you Yanis🙏
...as always...Thank you Yanis for your insite!!!
As always thoughtful and courageous. Thank you Yanis. I hope you voice reaches out
Substitute 'ideologically driven and self-promoting' for 'thoughtful and courageous' and you might be nearer the truth. I also thank Yanis for being as ineffective in his efforts to smear Israel as he was in his efforts to save the Greek economy. Complete dilettante.
i can see a correlation between israel and palestine and usa and native americans with gaza being a reservation. thank you for some perspective guided by reason and justice
Thank you for the TRUTH, Yanis! ❤ #freePalestineNOW #stopgenocideinGaza ❤️🇵🇸🍉

Excellent contribution. A valuable analysis of the geopolitical situation in the Middle East. Thank you very much Yanis.
Mad respects Yanis, we are not alone in this. If we come together, humanity is bigger than the greed of our oppressors. Palestine was and is a wake up call. And with this I do hope we get together. And stop from the root this problems. Oppressor have done enough in Middle East, Africa, America, Asia ... well they have done enough atrocious acts all over the world.
Respect for your humanity
Thank you Yanis , we are with you.
Thank you Yiannis for you lucid words
As a fellow Greek, thank you! No Greek should ever support Apartheid and occupation. Our history is our support for Palastine!
from Palestine, we thank you ❤
Okay so stop lying that there was an ancient Greece that civilized the world lol, to soon?
He called it a white imperialist project. No! Palestinians are being replaced by Jewish settler, not white. What about the Jewish influence behind whites in Europe being replaced by non whites. Also his info re Australia is wrong just untrue
Well greek supporting dhimmitude as a great achievement of Islamic greatness is very astonishing. Did you hear about the story of Hadj Amin El Hisseini Mufti of Jerusalem, killer of jews and friend of Hitler? Do you know what Dhimmitude is? Maybe your parents practived it against jews. So you regret a loss of status giving you the option of behaving like a mafia culture against jews, exacting ransom while humiliating the jews.
You do not seem to have any idea about the history of the jewish people nor the history of the region of Judea and Samaria you call Palestine. I hope you know what the ancient greek word "idiot" means, as I call you so. Start getting education
Excellent summary of the situation. Thank you for telling the truth.
So eloquently put, Yanis! Please keep up your work for us all, because as Mandella said, non of us are free until Palestine is free.
Thank you, Yanis!!
🙏❤️🌍🌎🌏🌿🕊🎵🎶💫✨️💫
Thank you Mr. Varoufakis! You always have a great breakdown and analysis of the important issues. Thank you for your integrity and compassion. Free Palestine!✊
Thank you for pointing out all the facts of the matter as I think many people may be unaware of a lot of these details.
We must be hopeful. There was a time in South Africa when NO ONE thought we would ever be a democracy, and not just a democracy but with complete religious tolerance. We stand behind the Palestinians with high hopes that this is going to be the end of their suffering under the Israelis and the end of the misrepresentation of their position in many counties around the world. USA, UK, and many Western European countries.
The Boers didn't slaughter in the same way as the Zionists do.
SA is now borderline a failed state, so maybe not the best exemple.
@@dgh6g33gf I think all of the western world is well on it's way to failure
@@dgh6g33gfStill better than the past SA. I say this as a citizen myself.
They weren't fighting with the support of God and there were no muslims involved in that conflict. Major difference.

I always like to listen to Yanis Varoufakis!!
This is my first time in this channel. Excellent evaluation of the war crimes going on in Palestine. The systematic destruction of the Palestinians
Keep believing his lies until the Islamist will get to your home and show you the beauty of Islam.
The same for me. Thank you Monsieur Farourakis !
I should say the sistematic destruction of arabs of Greater Syria by their own inept leading elites.And mr. Varoufakis aplaudes those actions.Sad but enlightening.We can clearly see now what socialism has to offer.
Yani you were one of the first in Europe to speak out, when most shamefully blamed it all only H. Since the world has let the most horrendous war crimes ever continue.
Sane, intelligent and compassionate. Thank you Yanis ✊🇵🇸🗝🇱🇧🍉
making statements without basis
no apartheid in Israel
why did the Gaza Hamas not attack Egypt who has a long fence which acts in the same way that Israel had? they attacked jews not their "prison" guards as per Yannis?
נכון. הוא דיבר כאילו אין בעזה גבול עם מצריים. ועוד יותר גרוע - למרוט לכל העובדות שתיעדו רוצחים פלסטינים הוא מכחיש את רצח ישראלים. מענין האם היום הוא בוכה על חיסול סינואר?
A brilliant distillation of the current horror. Thank you Yanis.
I pay my respects to you and your brilliant intervention. Palestine became "My Cause" since I was 12 years old and I'm moving fast to my 73. When I was 12, I read a book on Palestine written by some French author, whose name I forgot. My brother who was 2 years older than me brought that book from the Gulbenkian library existing in town (Guarda) in Portugal. We both learned French in school at the time. Our father subscribed a French magazine "Paris Match" that only wrote about Israel and never about Palestine. We had not much access to news, we lived under dictatorship which was finished with a mild revolution on 25 April 1974 (the so-called "Carnation Revolution").
My husband and I went to Germany at the end of October 1972, he had a contract as "Optiker -Gastarbeiter" and I went with him only as tourist. People did not know much about Palestine either but there came sometimes some news on television. There were no activists at least not in Stuttgart where we lived.
Some time after the 25 April 1974 Revolution, we came to Portugal and staid for a few days in order to celebrate the first 1st May (1974) legally in Freedom and returned to Germany on the 2nd May. There were some more news about Palestine and Israel, but no good news. The "Nakba" that had begun in April 1948, before the proclamation of the Independent State of Israel with hundreds of dead and expelled Palestinians throughout several villages and towns had continued and now we also had some news about everything. I am an Activist since then. We returned to Portugal for good on the 1st August 1976 with our older son who will be 49 years old in February.
Thank you for everything you do for Palestine. You are a very special human being.
It is so painful to watch what is happening to the Palestinians when there seems nothing we can do to prevent it. Our governments do not listen to the will of the people in this matter - neither do they follow the will of the law in this respect.
IF you live in a democracy you CAN do something to prevent it. Otherwise there is effectively no democracy.
I really admire and appreciate your honesty
Missed you Varoufakıs❤❤❤
Absolutely true and correct!!.. Thank you👏👏❤️
Thanks and stay strong as you've been till now!
My brothers and sisters in Palestine... It must be worse than we can even imagine. I'm sorry for what is happening. Please survive.
