Yanis Varoufakis on Israel-Gaza: 'We Europeans have created this' | UpFront 

Former Greek minister.

Yannis Varoufakis is a former finance minister and leader of the Day 25 party.

I really impressed another unique European who stand beside facts, most importantly he claimed the importance of European is not a prestigious nationality to discriminated the right of Palestine lands..

I have listened to the x Greek minister for many a year agree with him eighty five percent of the time on palistine one hundred percent

Thank you Sir, You are a great human being

That's because ignorant people can't see them... Why because they're ignorant

As a human being I am proud of him and love him for his honesty. He is a hero.

greeks owe a ton of money to the european union ! should u really be going on a lecture circuit to countries that dont debt default and educating the citizens ....thats not rude ..? maybe jim rickards can go to greece lecture circuit and tell people not to lie about having pools or cheating on taxes ..same thing just do in a freindly "educational" way ..

As a Greek/Australian, I completely agree with you. He is absolutely fantastic.

@@capcenter7365 And which country would you be from that makes you feel you have the right to get up on your soapbox and bang on foolishly about the Greek debt crisis in a miserable bid to shut people up? What else would you not like to hear about?

​@@capcenter7365So Greeks should not speak when they are witnessing genocide. You are out of your mind. I'm a Cypriot, and we rely on defence, with one of the states being Israel. However, we know when we see oppression, occupation, and apartheid. This guy has stated facts, and it's as simple as that.

He's corrupt asf.

Unfortunately he doesn't tell the truth about what happened on seventh. I can recommend Scott Ritter. Free Palestine 🇵🇸

@@smukduk If you're referring just to this podcast, he doesn't really go into it - he's concentrating on other aspects. Elsewhere... I don't know! HAS he just swallowed the Israeli propaganda? I'd be very surprised if that was the case. Agreed Scott Ritter's good. Ditto in the main Douglas Macgregor, though he doesn't seem to know what 'left' actually means; not uncommon for a Yank...

War has nothing to do with moral compassed especially when fighting part Palestinians and part army and part Jihadist nut jobs...

Sorry you just realised the West finds it difficult to speak the truth. This has been ongoing for years but many did not know this

I have to agree with you. If humanity can or will ever overcome itself, Yanis would be recognized as laying the groundwork for a truly better tomorrow.

I so much wish what you write to happen one day. But i am not so optimistic... I am Greek,i voted for him in 2015 and i was so happy that he was the man in charge when we clashed with Eu,mainly Germany and Soible,about austerity measures. At the final moment we all bailed out on him... The prime minister(Tsipras),his colleagues in the goverment,nearly everybody.. Because we were afraid of the unknown,afraid of a total catastrophy when it was obvious that if we follow Gianis plan the EU will kick us out... Now nearly 10 years later,nomater what you read in news about Greece,the situation for the people is not better... What would our situation be if we followed Gianis to the end,we will never know... But at the end of the day it is a human condition to be afraid to fight against a powerful system that doesnt seem to buckle in any way,even though Gianis tried.. The people,his colleagues didnt,follow him to the end and i dont blame them much... They were just humans and this is why i am not that optimistic that people sooner or later will wake up... PS To quote one of my favorite bands(The clash),Gianis administration as a the Greek finance minister fought the law and the law won...

@@themismarioglou7642 to control governments , the people have to control the money. People need to drastically reduce taxation to the bare minimum to the federal level and keep it more locally. Also the central bank must be controlled and not allowed to control financial systems. Its radical, people will be afraid because they have grown dependent on government rather than each other , but these problems will be solved by withholding money.

Such a crooked delusional response to 1400 years of Islamist terror exemplified on Oct. 7th Hamas brutality. There already was a two-state solution when Jordan was created in 1947 out of the bulk of the British Mandate Territory in Palestine. Then, in 2005, Israel tried a three-state solution by unilaterally pulling out of Gaza. Within months, rather than building Gaza, Hamas built terror tunnels and rockets and attacked Israel. Varoufakis talks about the Hungarian Nazis, French Nazis, and German Nazis but ignores the pact between Hitler and the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Amin Al Huseinei and the fact that Palestinian Arabs have a religious motivation of Islamic hegemony motivating their jihad. Do we want to see people from the River to the Sea who believe in using civilians as human shields and celebrating the rape of women, mutilation of babies, dismembering of people and Mohamed's proclamation "I have become victorious through terror," or do we want a people who take extreme measures to protect civilians and life generally? Israeli Arabs are 20% of Israeli citizens and have equal rights with the majority Jewish Israeli population. What percentage of Gaza and every other Muslim-majority country is Jewish? 0%. That is what "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free means -- Jew free, or Judenrein as the Nazis chanted.

What would you do without him... Nowhere else to seek information...

Yes, consistantly wrong like most people on the political left.

Germany is lost unfortunately. This current crisis proves it. Germany is not allowed to have its own opinion any more. The US has managed to destabilize it just enough to do so.

You may remember that the German and European experience is not always the same, so you can speak for yourself.

Many have tried these 2 state solutions to no avail. Both sides Israel and the Palestinians are equally opposed to the 2 state-solution since it was 1st introduced in 1991.

@@TheBubblydimple The only solution is one democratic state for all that doesn't give preference to any ethnicity or religion. Simple really.

Varoufakis lives in cloud cookcoo land 😢

This man can always sees through the deception and propaganda. Love to listen to him. I am an American and agree. RW Israeli can not do genocide of their own and Palestinians. They were the victims in the past. Now they are the aggressors of hate and greed. AIPAC in the US threaten our free speech calling those who protest their genocide anti-semitic . They make sure any American politician standing up is destroyed. This in my mind is an invasion by an enemy to our freedoms. One who gets billions of my tax dollars (demanding our weapons and military) for their "security against perceived enemies". RW Israel leadership is no ally. RW PM Netanyahu needs to go. Those Israelis protesting in the streets are wanting democracy.

Miko was the kid who marched right alongside Ahed Tamimi right?

@@alleymed0250you're misinformed, hizbollah is not anything to do with Palestine. They kicked out the Israelis when they invaded in 2006, their interests is with Israel not palestine. Now the split you are probably referring to is with hamas-fatah, but this division is by design. Firstly, Israel is financially funding fatah to sell the Palestinian cause, look up the Palestine papers. They also used to fund hamas in order to allow them to run for elections. Secondly, gaza is geographically isolated due to the bantustanisation of Palestine, thus, of course, there will be a division if the leaders can't even speak to one another. If America exits the picture, it would be far rosier.

Israel will not allow that they tried to hold elections Israel and America put a stop to that. Israel and America are training someone to take over brain dead collaborator mahmoud abbas.

Maybe they are acting out the Shoah? "Mirroring" in psychology

Oh,, those poor Egyptian Arabs... 🤦‍♀️

There have been many diplomatic efforts to realize a two-state solution, starting from the 1991 Madrid Conference. There followed the 1993 Oslo Accords and the failed 2000 Camp David Summit followed by the Taba negotiations in early 2001. In 2002, the Arab League proposed the Arab Peace Initiative. The latest initiative, which also failed, was the 2013-14 peace talks. It is no longer achievable since both sides are opposed to it. Plus, this conflict has been brewing even prior to the creation of Israel 1948. The British Mandate and UN both miserably failed on their efforts to come up with a solution. There are 21% Palestinian Arabs co-existing or living inside Israel. Many [Palestinian Arabs] have died during the constant barrage of rocket fires from Gaza since many of them live near the border. Some of their members were taken hostage by Hamas too.

The Bedouin Palestinian Arabs hundreds of them died from Hamas rocket fires and some family members were missing kidnapped by Hamas. A Muslim paramedic were tortured and killed after learning that he is a Palestinian Arab. Hamas is showing blatantly in media how they are training teenage kids in school how to handle weapons. School curriculum for school kids for the destruction of Israel. So what Hamas did is to build tunnels for themselves. They do not care one iota what happens to their own citizens.
