This is Vijay's latest take on Palestine. In this video, we ask Vijay what the ongoing destruction of Gaza means beyond the horrific numbers. We also discuss the US's role in the conflict, the politics of the Middle East, and whether there is any US disengagement from the region. Finally, he responds to Thomas Piketty's comment that communism was a disaster. We end the video by discussing what it means to think about socialism today.

@@jorgeabuauad You smoked too much and wondered into a wrong platform, bro.

You forgot to encourage sharing. Prashad is worth listening to and reading. Thanks for the interviews.
US has no standing to argue for human rights or to condemn war crime after supporting Gaza genocide.
US never had any standing far as human values are concerned, given their record of mass murders and looting globally. Isreal regime is a terrorist state as it US.
Shame on the world for standing by and watching this holocaust.
Every time a bell rings an Edomite gets his wings.
What do you mean _AFTER_ ? America has always been committing war crimes and crimes against humanity since its inception. This shows what lies at the heart of this wicked nation!
The US has been violating international law and committing war crimes itself for decades.
US claim to the moral high ground died a bloody death long, long ago. Point taken, though. It just gets worse and worse.
Vijay is always great, so much information, accurate and thoughtful analysis. Just like Chomsky you listen to Vijay and you feel inspired.
As a Chinese i must say this is an excellent video, i'm surprised to see this. Also the comment section is very different from what i normally see on Indian media.. I should probably be ashamed for being surprised. In any case im happy to have found it. First time i've liked a video from my Indian brothers.
Stop sucking 1/2 ich long pee pee of she xingping pong like a coward and raise voice for Muslims in China
absolutely, he is the first Indian I have come across who doesn't spew hatred toward Muslims but talks sense.
He's being doing this for a long time. He's one of the OG Indian anti-Imperial activist scholars who stays true to the anti-imperial and anti-colonial struggle. He's the real deal. @@shmug1968
Yes, Vijay prashad is a brilliant intellectual.
Don't feel ashamed. I'm of Indian origin and have been horrified (and disgusted) reading the comments made by Indians for the past 3 months. Vijay Prashad is one of the very few sane and intelligent voices currently
Vijay, thank you for supporting the Palestinian cause. Despite being far away from this 75-year tragedy, you have chosen to support and speak the truth. God bless you mate :)
He knows what J3#ws are capable to do. He pointed out actions of another - British Netanyahoo who during WWII starved 3 000 000 Bengalis to death. His name was Churchill and his mother was from same tribe as Netanyahoo...
But 7 October is the Palestine celebration day, no? So now the consequences came.
Celebration of what? Consequences of what? @@constantineblyuz5786

@@peacefulheart1431 DNA is out there, the land of southern Syria which is called Palestine now, is and was inhibited by the Palestinians for 24,000 years, and they also have the real Hebrew genetic vs the foreign zionist occupiers who didn’t come there to just live and practice religion, they eradicated the indigenous peoples and the genocide has been the only tactic , There is a case where Turkey took a quarter of northern Syria , but the people there were not kicked out , it is simply a different name of a country to them and they are striving and well, In Palestine is not the case , the propaganda is extremely dangerous and strong to the point where there are individuals like you who are gravely brainwashed and have facts upside down.

@@fatemehm2949 You don't know what you are talking about. Go back to the cave you crawled from. Being a Jew doesn't mean being religious, being a Jew means your mother and her mother were Jewish. Lots of Jews are socialist and communists; it is our most cherished tradition. Karl Marx. Albert Einstein. Rosa Luxemburg.
European Jews have been atheists since the 19th century when the Hapsburgs let us out of the shtetls. We led the struggle against the Injustice in Europe and America because it is in our DNA, and our Holy books.

Great show. As always, IGL never disappoints. More power to Vijay and people in Palestine.
Thanks
It is always enlightening to listen to Vijay Prashad, a true journalist and true human being with value. Thank you for this interview.
He is an inspiring teacher
Always appreciate Vijay's perspective. Thank you.
as a physicist and watching your analysis about capitalism is accurate at 73 my last employment was outsourced to Denmark, we need more socialism this is class warfare. thank the fact I have resources
Welcome, better late than never. Industrial capitalism ended with WW1. We now live in financial capitalism - the economic rent seekers have won. Industrialists long ago knew that state provided public services avoided monopoly rent & so were less of a burden on their workers, lowering costs. Industrial capitalism was on the road to socialism. Rich men did not like that so they flipped the script to Neoclassical Neoliberalism, which is now a religion where all non believers are excommunicated from society. Search for videos with Michael Hudson - he has just done a 2hr longform on The DemystifySci Podcast on YT.
Vijay is a great journalist, thank you. Free Palestine.
Thank you for this gem of an interview. Didn't know they targeted Nehru in the past - says everything about their state. Anything formed in injustice, will cling to it for its existence ... but history is not so kind
Is there any evidence for that? Or it is like the "Palestinian people" history - it is 5000 y. o.? but nobody can name a "Palestinian" figure before 1950s?
Palestine ❤❤❤
Thank you gentlemen. Excellent analysis. Totally agree.
Vijay Prasad has done a lot of research into the various tools and measures used by the US to maintain n expand its imperialism n hegemony
he is a fool. Educated fool. he read lots of things and cant connect the dots.
Good one...the NY Times is the press office for the Israeli PM. WTF!!!
As we in the west run around like programmable bots ahead of Christmas, let us all just slow down and spare a thought or a prayer if you are religious, for Gaza, for Palestine. From me, personally, to the Palestinians, I stand with you.
Thank you for your solidarity 🤍
Palestinians have to live under the rule of Isaac's descendants or leave the promised land 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Including the Hamas rats sitting in their tunnels, full of food and ammunition?
The complicity of the rich Arab nations and the International community is inexcusable and unforgivable. Where is our humanity, they deserve to live to!

Garbage. Israel evacuated Gaza in 2005. Palestinians could have built their beloved state. But they don't want a state. They want to kill Jews. End of story.
Hvala za odličen intervju, zelo poučno!
Great interview 👏👏👏
Brilliant video 👏 Thanks for educating us.
I can feel the pain. I have lived through the atrocities of the Pakistan Army in East Pakistan. Destruction, suppression and dehumanisation of Bangali intellectual community was one of the main objectives of Punjabi dominated Pakistan Army. They are still doing the same to other ethnic groups in the Indus Valley.
Totally agree with Murad. With sorrow, from Pakistan.
Boycott all west stuff buy local made support Free Palistne
With regard to boycotts, what do you think compels BRICS to sit idle during this time and maintain tens of billions of trade with the "offending" nation without interruption?
This is the first time I have seen any of your videos but I am impressed. No bullshit, real talk. Subscribed!
I didn’t realise the Israelis tried to assassinate Nehru.
Is that because you listen to too much of hira Mandi me apni begairat behaya ghasti ammi khala baaji ki dalali karne wale Lahori pigjabi media??
I did not know either but it makes sense. Israel successfully drove a wedge between Egypt and US. Nasser really wanted to be in the US camp but then after being rebuffed by the Dulles brothers, Nasser turned to the Soviet Union .

Hearing Vijay speak about the end of Gaza truly broke my heart
It's not the end of Gaza
It's the end of ZIONISM
What a wonderful eye opening and brain teasing full of intellectually stimulating interview/presentation! Thanks to IGL and Vijay. Learned a lot. Vijay's depth of knowledge and unbiased opinion is now a days rare. I liked every segment of questions and response. "If Russia did not defeat Nazis in the Eastern front, many like Piquetty (pardon my spelling) in the West/France will be teaching Main Kemp by Hitlar in the universities" 👏
Excellent and interesting podcast. Thank you very much. Vijay Prashad is such a great and knowledgeable person. Very inspiring indeed.
What a show, this channel is the best!
No democracy in America
With the lawfare going on inside the US & the warfare all around the globe, the US can no longer lecture anyone about democratic values, when they themselves have none.
a big question here is how to negotiate and make agreements with an enemy that has demonstrate time and again that it doesn't stick to agreements with the Palestinians doesn't respect international law and deploys all manner of dirty tricks and games....?
And further, they can't take care of themselves. They decided to put all their eggs into decades of bitterness and anger. Self-defeating. They could have learned from the practices of the jews in the european ghettos under A.H.
@@KD-rs6xx Your literacy is typical...for a Zionist.

Nobody with real power, anywhere in the world, is worried about inequality. They are only worried when their power centers are surrounded by their angry population. When the rich and powerful are threatened with violence by an overwhelming population, that's when change happens.

Well said Vijay. Keep speaking the truth about the genocidal Israeli (and A merican) govt and their w a r crimes
Amerikanische Politiker haben ihr Gesicht verlohren. lohnt sich nicht zuzuhören.Lügen nur.Orban Spricht klar, Putin spricht klar, Irland spricht klar.
Yes China has much bigger ambitions in the Middle East but I think not only economically but a comprehensive future. Various phases of Belt and Road projects ongoing in the world. The Middle East is unique because it holds key portions of oil and gas which China will need until 2050 while rich Arab countries are perfect partners for China to export and develop its technologies. The Saudi Arabia Vision 2030 is a first project to include present Chinese technologies of 5G, solar energy, digital economy, EV, charging stations, trains and subways, logistics, manufacturing. They will be big customers of Chinese planes too. Then there will be future techs of AI, robotics, flying cars and other breakthroughs.
One prize of the Ukraine War for the US was sabotaging EU-China trade. They blew up the Nordstream to weaken German industries which have been doing well with China. As the war prolonged they raised interest rates to push German factories to relocate to the US with subsidies. All along the military industrial complex made billions in oil prices, commodities, weapon sales, confiscating Russian assets, and capturing investment funds leaving Europe.
It’s highly suspicious that the US has similar purpose in the Israel conflict, to sabotage or at least disrupt to slow down its developments. Even the motive of the Hamas attack is questionable. Was it autonomous or was it staged? With China and Russia already engaged with their Arab friends, they will purposely not give the US some wars that it seeks. So far the only thing the US could do to provoke more wars is genocide even the world condemns it. It’s horrible times but pleasing to watch the US empire as it falls.
gaza has a lot of oil and gas, that is what biden wants and it is worth it for him, it is only about money and weapon deals.
7 october was provoked by israel, they lied about everything, killing babies? no. Raping women? No, Human shielding? No. IOF did that, the festival? IDF military was killed, they were soldiers. Hamas killed them. 650 people were killed not 1400. but mainstream media is in the pocket of the zionsts., atheists basically that see israel as their project.
Great interview Thanks
I'm south African of Indian heritage and Palestine cause has always been close to our hearts and feel so disheartened and repulsed by many Indian's support of Isra#l. It's very refreshing to hear this conversation.
V.j. your are man of tremendous general knowledge and geopolitical assessments. Am older than you are but my knowledge is of no comparison to yours. This world is full of injustices and historical facts ( attempt to get rid of Nehru ), you put out brilliantly . Thank you V.j. and IGL for putting out this illuminating chat.👍👍👍
I have much respect for Vijay for speaking the Truth!
At this point, staying alive is more important than prosperty.
Staying alive - until it hits the fan
Great freakin episode again! Everytime you hear Vijay Prasad it is so illuminating. Now that it looks like Chomsky has left the scene of giving interviews, Vijay Prashad is the voice of analysis, depth, and clarity that I would depend upon. Thanks again for putting this together!
This is the most disgusting thing i have even seen. I really believe they will not get away with this. This is different this time the world is watching from all over !
It's true. They can't "durka durka Mohammad jihad" their way out of this one!
The reality of the US position is always made clear by their vetoes at the UN. This is a US war. All wars are US wars now. The preferred method is the proxy war with just a few boots on the ground - the decision to go proxy was made in 2006 after the disaster of Iraq - Hersh wrote about it in 2007. The US provides weapons, ammo, intel, etc, to Ukraine, so Ukraine men fight till the last Ukrainian. US supplies the bombs, Israel drops them. Plausible deniability. Same in Syria, where ISIS, the Kurds & even Hamas were the proxies. Don't be fooled by the proxy, the US is at war with the world.
Vijay you are great! I wish you were here in Australia to give people history lessons. I have been doing my best with factual information, but they seem to stick to conspiracy theories they hear on talk back radio, U S. or BBC backed public news outlets like the A B C. (and even politicians). Just look at what they are doing to Julian Assange.
Thanks! I could listen to Vijay forever. He has such knowledge on so many topics.
19000 dead? They were killed brutally.
Great show!!
To dismiss the Soviet experiment as a colossal disaster in history is to welcome Nazism as a legitimate socio-political entity; also, it amounts to belittling the immense contribution the erstwhile the USSR has made to the dismantling of colonialism.
Very honest and very brave Vijay Prashad! Become his ardent fan.
Love Vijay Prasad brave comments 🇵🇸
Amazing, amazing.
Bears multiple listens....the Piketty v Prashad perspective leaves a pause for thought, no doubt about this.
Curious if Anwar Shaikh might have similar thoughts about Piketty too.
Masterful.
Waw, what an interesting and very insightful program this was. The guest is very well versed on major geopolitical, historical and political events. Really enjoyed it. Thank you.
Who will face the war crimes committed against the Palestinians.
No one because usa is behind this
War
Love ❤your channel
Vijay, and The Tricontinental, should definitely re-publish Nehru's "The Soviet Union," I would love to read it.
Especially since it comes from a period of history that has been, not only forgotten, but purposely obfuscated.
There were so many great books published in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s, which depict a history that has been thrown out, and those books are out of print.
Even if they do want to leave, that’s not a choice most are given.
Thank you for making aware people for what is really happening in Gaza. A crime against WHOLE humanity 😢
Vijay Prashad is one of the most important intellectuals on the Left. Always so great to hear his takes on the geopolitics and socialism. Perhaps, Indian poverty and social despair are so great compared to other Asian countries (even the Russian Far East and Siberia which are thriving) because Patriarchy and misogyny there are the most severe. Which is so sad considering that they still practice the ancient Goddess religion.
We have no doubt that a large part of Indian poverty is tied to the vicious patriarchy in India. Women own very little land, their labor force participation in paid work is low and even declining recently, they get less nutrition within the family and so on. These are over and above a general culture of sexism and misogyny that disempowers women psychologically.
Vijay Prashad is among my facourite Indian intellectuals like Anand Giridharas who is American Indian and Pankaj M. Unfortunately, so many less educated Imdiams are online posting nonsense.
This has been the most informative show I’ve watched in a long while.
An outstanding interview.
Great work!
Why too soon to write off Palestinen’s in Gasa, the entire world is watching. The BRICS and SCO , Arab league haven’t even started their campaign. You can include the Aseon group in that group.
VIJAY IS THE BOSS!!💥🙌💪

What an excellent video. Vijay is always worth hearing. Thank you IGL. I'll try to join!!
Would like to see Dr. Prashad on the Kim Iverson program.
Thanks!
Thank you so much. This means a lot. We really appreciate it. Would love to stay in touch.
Mr Prasad thank you for your insightful take on Palestine.
Well said Vijay!

Real men real talk ❤
Sir Vijay, You are Great human being!.
Great discussion. Vajay you are the best. I can listen to you forever.
Great program people thanks
Vijay Prashad is very knowledgeable - with penetrating insights !
Vijay Parashad, is not only genuine 20:23 researcher; but one of the decent human beings, who is very courageous and an apologetic intellectual.
He is one of my favourite activists on global stage. He could have easily accepted, or traded his soul with few miserable dollars,like others in Western media, who are endorsing the first ever televised genocide before us. But Vijay choose to be morally consistent, i wish to meet him,shake his hand; look him in the eye,and tell him we are very lucky to have you.
Voice of courage and reason.
As some one, who is educated in india,and have tremendous knowledge and respect for India, and it's intellectuals.
The sub continent of india, is blessed with a lot courageous intellectuals, who never shy away from expressing their views on world stage.
Bravo, Vijay and the host.
Vijay is so well spoken!!!
Long live Humanity
Long live INDIA

Who knows, how the Sowjet Union, Cuba or other socialist countries would have developed without the permanent threat of the USA including sanctions and the necessitiy to invest in armament.
Magnificent interview. The first one I saw from your channel was the Piketty one. Loved Vijay's comments on Piketty's views, specially on #Socialism.
Piketty's data also show a very high level of Inequality in #China. Maybe Xi Jinping is attacking this malaise with the "Prosperity for All". Vijay's point on the fact that REAL social revolutions have happened in the under developed periphery of #Capitalism is SPOT on.
Thank you for this very informative and insightful video. However, I would like to point out a historical fact to answer a very important question that was raised. President Biden criticized Israel for the indiscriminate bombing of Gaza but why didn't he threaten to withhold military aid if they did not stop the bombing? He didn't make that threat because he knew it would be political suicide. George Bush Senior, after the first Gulf war had an approval rating in the 90 percentile range and Israel asked him for a ten billion dollar loan guaranty. Because of his popularity President Bush tried to connect the loan guaranty to progress toward the peace process. In spite of President Bush's popularity, he was not reelected for a second term.
You are absolutely correct
Vijay prasad is a brwath of fresh air compared to godi media tryimg to be the fox news of india
Thanks, respect
Terrific interview, very informative, well done!
Thank You gentlemen
Shame, shame on the arab nations with the exception of the Houtis. The U.S has military bases in gulf arab nations as a first step they have to close the bases but they are not doing it. I guess the mondy is too important.to the gulf nations.
Saying "nations" is shabby. It's the capitalists and their government lackeys. Which Arab nation in their majority supports "Israel"? Please never forget to employ class analysis. Arab "leaders" are just the top kapos.
power to you guys, keep up the good work
I am listening this in June and so taken aback by his predictions and forecast of how Israel is going to go about. How come I never knew about Vijay Prashad sb before…these kind of legends need to be in the Hero’s List.I searched and found his other interviews and after Gabor Matte and Norman Finklestine, he comes out as clear and powerful knowledgeable academic.
Vijay Prashad is one of the best commentators on geopolitics, always worth listening to.
