Something Vijay said really resonated with me. He talked about the beautiful sensitive people of Gaza many of whom are being killed for reasons that few of us have any sympathy with. Some of us can hardly fathom the depths of the brutality being committed. He noted that as we watch the story of this tragic event unfold we witness the stories of these wonderful people and feel their pain deep in our souls. Yet they face one of the least sensitive humans on earth today: Netanyahu. I realise that Vijay, who is very special, is special because not only is he hugely intelligent and committed to being a decent human being, but that he is also deeply sensitive. Thank you so much for this captivating interview with this very special man.
I highly recommend Alice Rothchild’s film, Voices From Across the Divide, to really appreciate the humanity of the beautiful Palestinian people. She interviews mostly elders who actually experienced the Nakba, and there is actual footage and old photos. It’s such a moving film. It’s free on TH-cam.
As an ancient 75-year-old I can only hope that American hegemonic Imperialism has seen its final days. Though many of my fellow Americans are unable to see it, American Exceptionalism on the global stage has been as virulent and detrimental as colonial slavery has been in out own national history.
@@pagan-540 a very true risk the empire could be bowing to its next throne to run the globe from, we can be voting if that happens now or not with our reactions maybe we the people almost earned actual rights and freedoms in america )clearing thinning at current) and so maybe the place will be nose dived to make sure us the people can not rise up and interrupt the affairs of elites when we think not to the favor of us the tax paying there is a certain level of duty we all have to our community after a point we must ensure the policies we are endorsing serve the community, that we are always upholding the wellbeing of the tribe I think us all having our uniqueties is as well such a vital part probably our country can be made to 4 smaller countries to make sure we dont have too much global effect, and that going forward to respect each people of earths unique values there should be no one super power, all of us must be informed, and take care to ensure that we are all treating each other welly and lets join forces to inhabit space, Elsewise there will be a super power, who will place fetters on all of us, maybe kchips and then we will never inhabit space, if the slaves try to escape the chip turns us off, we must help each other go in all directions NOW :)
@@crackthefoundation_ That is why the US Congress just banned TikTok! Their criminality and utter lack of morality has been live streamed to the world! They want to suppress and censor information so that their propaganda machine works but it's too late! The cat is out of the bag!
The overthrow of the Shah and the hostage taking of American personnel at the embassy embarassed and angered US. But US fogot that it overthrew Iranian president Mohammed Moseadegh in 1953 ! That wss the fire that lit the fuse of animosity. Most people don't know this history.
When I listen to Vijay, I know there are sane people who see things clearly and can communicate without prejudice or rancor. This is my first time encountering this channel, it's nice to see.
Great show wonderful interview style - happily surprised YT showed it on my timeline as I always love Vijay’s immense brain power & powerful optimism in the face of such darkness
I disagree with Vijay on the tactics of Oct 7th. The resistance overwhelmingly targeted military bases and that's why they overran them and captured soldiers. The civilian captives were taken by regular people in Gaza not affiliated with the resistance. It is simply impossible to attack a settler colonial state without injuring civilians because the settler colonial state uses its settlers as human shields, ironically. The settlements around Gaza -- Gaza envelope as it's called, is meant to protect the military bases that come after the settlements. Literal human shields for the military bases. If a resistance movement has to avoid civilians, then the bar becomes impossibly high to the point where any resistant act they take would be deemed illegal. There's no effective "bar" for the settler colonial state, so why should there be one imposed on resistance. For this reason, I disagree with Vijay. Otherwise, I really enjoy listening to him.
I agree with you. There wasn't enough time to get into the debate there, but on other coverage of ours with Abdaljawad Omar and Bryce Greene we have talked more about the problems with the narrative (also Electronic Intifada - also The East Is A Podcast recently had a really good episode on Oct 7 - and others have done great work on this). Also we can talk about "civilians" but settlers in the Gaza envelope are heavily armed garrisons and would have been exchanging fire, that's a different scenario. Anyway I agree with you that it wasn't necessary to narrate it in the way that he did from my perspective.
@@MAKCapitalism I agree with the way you conducted the interview, because this point was ultimately a small detail in the bigger picture of the topic at hand. However, it would be interesting to have Vijay expand on his point of view at another time. Thanks for the very well done interview anyway.
Wise of you to have Vijay on Jared. Thanks. Vijay Prashad brings up the moral and ethics dimension of leadership which the US politicians are so lacking. Totally agreed him! Shameful that these are the political leadership we have for way too long.
There are so many People who say that the Youth is ignorant & has no clue what's happening in the World This is absolute Garbage They've shown the Way with their Courage & we Oldies must follow their lead It's not only about Palestine It's about being Anti Imperialist only then there's Hope for us all Now we've to support Palestine as much as we can but we can't stop with it If we don't dismantle this Imperialist Hegemonic Force then they'll come back again & it was all for nothing Vive la Revolution It's Time! ✊
Unfortunately those are fully aware of what's going on belong to the minority as the majority of the public of the US n its G7 n EU vassal states are so brainwashed the lies of their corrupt leaders fake news propaganda that they are still under the illusion that their criminal nation is a beacon of light for the world.
Vijay…I’m not clear as to whether the term “hyper imperialism” refers to a more global imperialism as manifest by the West or rather more blatant and brutal mechanisms employed by the west…..or both? thanks
MAKC!!!! Y'all should consider Ayiti as a PRIORITY BASED ON the HISTORY of their REVOLUTION for FREEDOM from CAPITALISM which began August 1791- Present... AYITI is the MOST COVENANT POSSESSION of CAPITALISM🤔
US n collective West including Israel has same stupid arrogance,....It won't go easy....'A bolt from the blue' has to come in force. All these countries have beautiful People who deserve to have decent relationship with the World of mutual respect.
This modern world have not evolved. We have become more inhuman. Animals and beasts in African's watering holes,we do not see massacre? So have men behaved worst than beasts?? 😭😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Huge mistake Vijay Western Sahara and much more lands are historic aly Moroccans and all citizens of Morroco have the same rights in each square centimeter of the country independantly of their color, their religion or there race and we do not need the help of any body and nobody give us our lands we return it with resistance from spanish and French colonizer I will appreciate to debate with you about this and to teach you the truth you are insulting morroco who is a civilisationnal state like others Iran India … and others I will appreciate that you will comme to morroco from the north to the south and to see how the state do his best for all the citizens without any difference. Do not distort the reality thanks and with my respects to the show
Palestine will return to the Palestinian people the same as all those colonies were returned to the colonised people. It is not a question of IF but WHEN.
Vijay Prashad is brilliant

I agree!
I think a lot more people are realizing because of Gaza. Maybe enough to generate some actual change
This will be replaced , if so happens ,by non-American exceptionalism .There will never be a void nor be an altruistic power.
@@pagan-540 a very true risk

maybe we the people almost earned actual rights and freedoms in america )clearing thinning at current) and so maybe the place will be nose dived to make sure us the people can not rise up and interrupt the affairs of elites when we think not to the favor of us the tax paying
there is a certain level of duty we all have to our community after a point
we must ensure the policies we are endorsing serve the community, that we are always upholding the wellbeing of the tribe
I think us all having our uniqueties is as well such a vital part
probably our country can be made to 4 smaller countries to make sure we dont have too much global effect, and that going forward to respect each people of earths unique values there should be no one super power, all of us must be informed, and take care to ensure that we are all treating each other welly
and lets join forces to inhabit space,
Elsewise there will be a super power, who will place fetters on all of us, maybe kchips
and then we will never inhabit space, if the slaves try to escape the chip turns us off, we must help each other go in all directions NOW :)

Need a copy of Hyper-Imperialism sounds very comprehensive. Thanks for having Vijay on 🙏🏿
The sound on the part of Prasad mic. Is terrible. However I love listening to what he has to say.
It’s available as a pdf on the website.
Double Down News has done the best breakdown of what exactly happened on Oct 7, which I have seen so far.
I also blessed Vijay when he sneezed.🤗. Delighted to listen to Vijay Prashad.
Always loved listening to Vijay Prashad, cold or no cold, brain fog or not, he’s the best
When intellect and heart come together it is professor Vijay Prashad who gives us the inspiration ! Thank you Vijay !
We all are in solidarity with the youth of USA taking a stand against war and it's imperial masters. Reflecting the days of Vietnam.
When I listen to Vijay, I know there are sane people who see things clearly and can communicate without prejudice or rancor. This is my first time encountering this channel, it's nice to see.
I am so proud of you VJ and today young people generations for protesting against the warmongering old fools Freedom and Justice for them all.
Excellent !
Excellent show!!!
Thanks for the truth
Thank you for bringing Mr Prasad, one of the very few articulate minds out there..just excellent 👍

the study is here if you want to check it out: thetricontinental.org/studies-on-contemporary-dilemmas-4-hyper-imperialism/
Profound discussion with Vijay Prashad. History with an awakened intelligence of political significance.

One of the few economists I respect
MAKC!!!!
Y'all should consider Ayiti as a PRIORITY BASED ON the HISTORY of their REVOLUTION for FREEDOM from CAPITALISM which began
August 1791- Present...
AYITI is the MOST COVENANT POSSESSION of CAPITALISM🤔
We do and have done several episodes on Ayiti (at least 6 that I can think of) And we are always open to doing more.
@@MAKCapitalism
Thanks again. Please keep up the FIGHT FOR AYITI'S FREEDOM.
America like so many empires before is digging its own grave. RIP.
inshallah
I love how unabashedly he has that cold
Man is my hero
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕🌟
The difference between Gaza and Ukraine in Gaza it's soldiers killing civilians while in Ukraine it's soldiers killing soldiers.
Awesome show. Thank you brothers, keep fighting the good fight ✊. I look forward to more videos, thank you.
thank you

Not Millennials, they are self absorbed. It is Gen Z !
Has BRICS instituted boycotts to help stop the carnage?
Gen Z, not Millenials
Where is BRICS / Multipolarity in reference to the current genocidaires?
It is very clear in Golda Meyers interview saying she was a Palestinian , this land in Palestine !!!!
This modern world have not evolved. We have become more inhuman. Animals and beasts in African's watering holes,we do not see massacre? So have men behaved worst than beasts?? 😭😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Where's multipolarity with regard to the current genocidaires. A no-show
✊
Danke schön V. Prashad,for Peace news,Free Palestine
Vijay is my favorite political analyst. THANK YOU MAKC
