Philosopher Slavoj Žižek: Israel Needed This War In Gaza To Create A Greater Israel | Full Interview 

Damn, surprisingly good interviewer. Zizek is great, as always.

Brilliant interview! Thank you

The World has changed we can travel around the web to listen to news everywhere and like this well known writer is a true treat for me

When zooming into a conflict it is always possible to construct one side as victim and other as perpetrator because of the reactivity inherent in every conflict, but when you zoom out you can see a pattern: do you want islam or secular humanis values to win? Do you want to live in syria? Libya? Yemen? Sudan? Where are christian, druz, kurdish minorities prefering to live? Israel or iraq? Where are assylum seekers coming from? Israel or iran?

Yes, he is very calming our host

Love me some Sizek😊❤

Very interesting, listen but don’t look. ( don’t let this guy make you a sandwich)

Brilliant

there will never be a greater Israel.

A safer Israel maybe

Zizek , you remain the light in this dark era.

I now wonder, if the greatest philosophers of our time have zero agreement on good and evil, what hope do the rest of us have? What hope can we have for this world?

Slavoj Žižek what about US wars against the world, 800 NATO bases. Israel genocide supported by the west. Its unending list of crimes. Žižek opinion about Russia are very personal because of his experience during Soviet Union.

On Truth, Free Speech, and "Woke Culture": ● Žižek criticizes the "cynical indifference" prevalent in many societies, where people are aware of critical issues but fail to act or engage meaningfully. He sees this as a major obstacle to addressing challenges like climate change and political conflicts. ● He laments the decline of critical thinking and the increasing difficulty in discerning fact from fiction in a media landscape dominated by misinformation and manipulation. ● He critiques both the right-wing and the politically correct left for engaging in censorship and expressing distrust in ordinary people's ability to think critically. ● While acknowledging the historical injustices highlighted by "woke culture," Žižek expresses concern about the movement's approach to reinterpreting the past. ● He criticizes the notion that gender identity is solely a matter of personal choice, emphasizing the complex and often traumatic process of identity formation. On Immigration: ● Žižek criticizes both extremes in the immigration debate: the open borders stance of the liberal left and the anti-immigrant rhetoric of the right. ● He argues that Western intervention in the Middle East and North Africa has contributed significantly to the current immigration crisis. ● He points out that Western economies rely heavily on immigrant labor and would face severe consequences if they were to expel large numbers of immigrants.

He's something of a caveman. Isn't he? I see why Dugin keeps his distance. 😂🎉❤😮

❤❤❤

The best proxy war is the one where the people / nation being used as a proxy doesn't know or feel that it is being used as a proxy. It feels it is in a sincere righteous war. It is only then that the nation can be exploited. Ukraine feels absolutely this is ofcourse a war it must fight. So it is good material for misuse by clever bigger powers.. for their personal ends.

Its a bit overwhelming

This is nonsense. Israel is a small country.

I like open society

Did he just put “Muslim” and “Progressive” at the same sentence how can a Muslim be progressive ?

Why does Riz Khan keep saying Israel vs Hamas? Isn’t it obvious by now it is Israel vs Palestinians? Also I didn’t hear anything in this interview that is radical or controversial!

Thats what they are doing, drawing new lines

love getting my geopolitical analysis from a coked out slovene lacanian

22.28 I was expecting from this hypocrite to cotest realestate assertion ,Palastinian Israel issue is same as India and Pakistan ,as the partition plan and agrements are fup ,can the forcefully evicted people who took shelter in India claim back their rights?

He idiotically (like an automaton) applies ageism to himself in order to fulfill his anti wisdom postion. Then in the next breath begins to look at things the way they really are saying he's becoming more radical. Awful. ❤😂🎉😅

Are you out of your mind !!?

He is a Cartoon

He looks very unhealthy
