Yanis completely wrecked Biden. He was spot on.
Biden his not only crazy but his also war criminal and violent!! This guy has gotten away with 50 years of corruption!! Joe GENOCIDE Biden
Colonialist israel is only interested in the land occupied by Palestinians. No other reason for their current genocide of Palestinians.
Yes, it's a genocide in plain sight. Yet, Biden and the majority of US and western leaders, as well as the majority of people in the west, refuse to notice the genocide in plain sight. The dishonesty, moral bankruptcy, and lack of character is astounding.
I don't agree that the October 7 attack should be described as horrendous, an atrocity or a terrorist attack. It was, as George Galloway said, an uprising.
Lest anyone forget, generations of Israeli oppression, colonialism, apartheid, land grab, calorie restriction, and other crimes against humanity inflicted on the Palestinians have been obtained and maintained by brutal force of arms. The Palestinians have the right to rise up and obtain for themselves freedom justice and dignity.
Never a mention where are the Gazans Hamas leaders. Do they have plans to go back to Gaza? OR they are still REMOTELY working from Qatar.
We Germans always fail in such matters. I've never been so ashamed to be German.
Unfortunately, I couldn't agree more! Same for me!
Same for us. 🇬🇧
I feel for my German friends. Don't be ashamed however, you are far from the only people to be misrepresented by your government in this catastrophe.

Danke.🇵🇸🙏👍👍👍🙌🙌🙌

Palestinians have the right to defend their land. ❤ 🇵🇸
And FREEDOM 🇵🇸✊🏼
Some people don’t like that . Truth is bitter in some ears.
Germany is an occupied country by USA
Why do they always have money for rockets but never for water, food, education etc ?
@@lilnoir4213 Same thing that happens in Israel . Proxy country that's been supplied and manipulated by outside entities. UK ,US, EU countries pushing Israel rhetoric and various Arab countries pushing theirs. In the middle kids dying (undeniably) on a wholesale basis and people blaming the victims.
I dont understand how israel is allowed to openly flaunt their destruction and violence.......This is quite frightening and totally disgusting indeed.....Amazing show and guest. Love and freedom to all Palestinians.....
They are openly backed by a superpower and more quietly by almost all European governments.
because they are backed by the US.
Because they're supported and protected by NATO.
@@fntasticHijack well America, turkiye isnt showing much support
@@thez5997what other support from America and Eu do you want? They keep sending more arms to israhell since this war to kill more Palestinians and voted against ceasefire.
Big respect for my Greek 🇬🇷 ❤️🇵🇸 comrade Yanis and to you comrade Owen . Free Palestine and peace and love always ✌🏾✊🏾🇵🇸❤️
@@RobertTaylor-gz2fuThere will be no need for Hamas if there was no occupation and an almost 2 decades blockade

Do not ask what your country can do for you.
Ask what your country can do for Israel.
So true.
FOR PALESTINE
Israel Boycott at least what everyone can.
@@nicolaablett7790
This is a famous sentence from JFK " Don't ask what your country can do for you ask what you can do for your country "
So true for USA and Europe
Yanis Varoufakis is bloody brilliant. Love hearing what he has to say. Cheers, Owen.

As citizen of the US I appreciate you so much for speaking on the self righteous hypocrisy and performative fraudulence of America. Being a descendent of enslaved Africans, I know first hand how this country is an elitist entity whose hubris and position is very much Do as I say, not as I do when it comes to dictating what other countries should do when they always have an excuse why they can't/won't/don't address the issues of their own citizens.
See Chris Hedges, George Galloway, Abby Martin, Lee Camp, Richard Medhurst.
REALLYGRACEFUL & TRUTHSTREAM MEDIA

In a world that seems so hopeless, we should be grateful that there are still some people like Owen and Yanis unwilling to be bought or threatened into silence.
Absolutely👍
So well said. Thank you.
Really? Mr Varoufakis showed to be the most pointless European polititian in recent years. Lot's of words, No clue and No responsibility.
@@florianmeier3186 All the ignorant gaza supporters which are mostly young wokies on the new bandwagon. They'll have another flag in a couple of months and Yanis and other nitwits will be their hero.
So interesting to hear Yanis discuss Terra Nullius and how it is used as a tool of dehumanisation to justify mass slaughter. It is a term we learn about as Australians, albeit often through the lens of the coloniser, but to hear it applied to the atrocity happening in Gaza is jolting and at the same time, illuminating and disturbing. Centuries later and it is still possible to dehumanise whole populations, however, the difference here is that its consequences are happening blatantly in front of the eyes of the world and is yet remains unchecked. Thanks for the discussion, so important to hear voices speaking truth as to what is happening and to cut through this dehumanising language etc.
Varoufakis has spent a lot of time in Australia and I think he’s an Australian citizen.
Old news
As another Australian, I concur.
Me too! Free Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
I am a Kiwi and we learn about Terra Nullius but as a compare and contrast to how Māori were treated, and how illegal it was even under British law of the time.
Well said Yanis. Your sane voice and humanity is much appreciated.
I lived in yorkshire during the miners strike. Yanis knows what he is talking about.
@@RobertTaylor-gz2fuInjustice to one is an injustice to all.
Thank you for keeping us so well informed. 🇵🇸
Mr. Varoufakis has managed to give us a glimpse of hope in all this darkness. I find myself coming back constantly in times of crisis to his brave ways of analyzing situations. I still wish though this nightmare will end sooner than later. It’s becoming by the day more and more unbearable to watch. 😢
Huge respect from an Iranian to Yanis, an honest and brave human being.
Thanks a lot to both you. Humanity. Justice. Life.
And Hope.
You can never go wrong listening to Yanis Varoufakis.
🎯💯
Great interview. I am a 52 year old American living in the UK. In the next US election I will not be voting for Genocide Joe. I refuse to support a politician who supports a literal genocide. Since I was 18 I have voted in every US presidential election so I take voting very seriously. He has lost the leftists, progressives and everybody left of center.
Who else is there on the ballot. Joe who made a huge mistake with supporting israel. Or GOP which is even worse
@@unggrabb Jill Stein for President 2024
I agree with you, but who you going to vote for ,senile genocide Biden or facist, nationalist Trump, Republican. Seems to me to be no difference respect to what Israel is doing. The only choice you have is the independent.
You do you however if #45 gets voted into office again because of voting 3rd party or not voting in a two party system the same applies to you as for any Tory voter, you are complicit and there is no sugar coating that one. Dont like it? Change the electoral and presidential system first. Then you can vote according to your ethics until kingdom comes and no harm done.
voting really not gonna change the puppet masters
Yanis a hero of mine! So values driven. Humans wellbeing prioritized in his thinking and suggested policies . Pushing against imperialist power.
Yanis Varoufakis ❤
Summing it up with an emoji
Yanis is the man. 💯
Yanis Varoufakis and Owen Jones thank you so much more and more people are listening
I voted for him,
you chose well sir!
😌😔
Μπράβο 😘✊🏼❤️🕊️⚖️
Owen Jones, my appreciation to your tireless humanitarian activism!
Yanis Varoufakis, simply one of my favorite thinkers, always on the right path in support of humanity and the oppressed!
I have admired Yanis for some years. He always speaks the truth. Thank you for inviting him, Owen.
As Christian Armenians who have gone through genocide in the 20th Century by Ottomon Turks, and more recently, ethnic cleansing in Nagorno-Karabakh by Turkish-backed Azerbaijan, we find the situation in Gaza atrocious and deplorable. It is so hard for many of us to watch human beings including children get slaughtered before our eyes, and is reopening so many wounds in us 🥺...we love our Palestinian brothers and sisters, and are constantly sending prayers their way 🙏🏻. May the world stand against this violation of humanity. Palestine, stay strong...we love you and are with you all the way 🇦🇲❤🇵🇸
Teaching the world to hate
Israel also collaborated with Azerbaijan+Turkey in the Artsakh genocide. Erdogan's Turkey (which has been for a whole decade cooperating with Israel, no matter their discourses) has also recently executed genocide of Kurds in Afrin.
WHAT GENOCIDE. YOU STOLE LAND AND KILLED THE TURKS THERE IN THE 1990S. WITH RUSSIAN BACKING. NOW THE PEOPLE TOOK BACK THEIR LAND. DONT USE ISRAELS GENOCIDE TO COVERAGE UP YOUR GENOCIDE.
@@LuisAldamizLOL
Hamas started a war. The civilian casualty rate from Israel in haza is similar to every other modern urban conflict, 20% of israeli citizens are also palestinian. It does not compare to the Armenian genocide at all. Where is the genocide in gaza?
"the west only uses human rights as a cover" spot on Yanis
Amazing interview, and so beautiful reflection at the end by Yanis. As long as there are humans in the world, there is hope. Thank you Owen and Yanis !❤
Re Israel & Gaza: " The healthy man does not torture others - generally it is the tortured who turn into torturers ": Carl Jung
AMAN AND WOMAN TO THAT STATEMENT
And the iof /iaf women are a clear example that they are not gentler they are as ugly
We are all Tortured! Life Fucks u up, it's how you deal with your pain makes you a man, bulling the weak doesn't help u!
@@Ciarananthonymitchell844 yet Israel has no ability to develop introspective wisdom in this regard. Israel , once the hope of the world, is now the symbol of defiled conscience.
We never learn the same horrors continue never thought I would hear the words again apartheid, concentration camp, ethnic cleaning and genocide. I hate this world so much 😢
Yanis is a great man
One note I would add to this, the Arab countries who were ''normalizing'' deals with Israel before October 7'th were for the most part bought out by the American dollar for their ''normalization'' with Israel. Be it Jordan, Egypt and so on which gets huge amount of money from US to be on the Israeli side, Yet the population in Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia are very in favour of the palestinian people, that is why you see even a poppet ruler of Egypt talk against Israel and US. They might be frightened by Israel or US, but they are even more frightened by their own people, who holds more power and will thgen what US and ISrael can buy.
Similar to europe, paid globalists put in power. Revolution in the west is the answer.😮
Economic integration leads to peace. Egypt, Jordan and Saudi are so in favour of the palestinians that they have taken zero in as refugees.
Thank you for all your brave work and fight for truth
so glad you got Yanis, I love him!
👉As Yanis Varoufakis stated: " Gaza is the test of our humanity" ....☮🙏💫
Owen, thanks for your work and having one of my favorites on your show. Big fan of both of you!
Owen not only stands out for his factual reporting, his humanity and his persistence in speaking truth to power. He gets the very best people to join the fight for peace. Professor Yanis is a tremendous voice for peace, justice and tolerance. A great broadcast of fact and reality over rhetoric.
Yanis always manages to raise my spirits whenever I hear him speak.
Thank you both standing up for humanity.
Keep up the great work Owen❤
Great guest you guys have beautiful hearts sharing the truth
I just want to post a note thanking BOTH of you. I think this discussion is the best I've heard regarding this catastrophe. Owen asks all the right questions and Yanis, as always, inspires with his high intelligence and deep sense of humanity. I hope this gets the widest listenership and kudos to both of you for your courage.
If there was one comment from Vanis that struck a chord with me, it was "The very essense of humanity is being tested in Gaza". My view and it doesn't have any standing, but if the genocide isn't halted, our species has lost all sredibility.
As an 85yr great-grandmother, i think and feel that statement, "The very essence of humanity is being tested in Gaza". Thank you Yanis and Owen, fir acknowledging the Aboriginal situation in Australia. 🙏🌺🌿
Sadly we already lost it, not sure we ever had it.
His role in European politics has just begun.
Thank you so much! Greetings from Germany.
Yanis has been enlightening the world for many years, and may he long continue.
Truly amazing discussion - Yanis and Owen are humanists and truth and freedom pioneers that I truly salute
I love Yanis! So thoughtful and articulate. Please have him on again.
If it's a case of "You got genocided so you get to do a genocide" there's a few countries wanna have a word with the US and UK ...
Thanks @Owen, Yanis is one of my fav well versed economist from whom I myself educated many times in financial terms. The knowledge he poses is unique no question about that. We need to ask him how to cripple the economy of Israel so that it can not continue its atrocity. I am sure he has unique solutions for that besides BDS movement.
BDS worked in South Africa and freeing Nelson Mandela from prison (where is was imprisoned for life for the crime of being a "violent terrorist"). Why do you imply a need for another solution besides BDS?
@@chrisd2896 think they mean a particular way of doing BDS to ensure its impact.
A man with an ocean of values. Thank you Yanis.
They've set an impossible goal...It's obvious that's not the goal...It's everything around the goal. And they're so arrogant they keep saying the quiet parts out loud.
Yes!!! Idk how they think we can’t see what they are literally saying outright
@@leazawacki4966Unfortunately they are correct in their assessment. Most of the Brits and Americans can't see through it. The people with the most power to do something about it. The problem for Israel is the few that can. Compared to the total population, very few can see through it. The rest of the world are just seeing White colonial history replay.
@@leazawacki4966I think it's down to hubris - they're so used to getting away with things. What they and their lobbiests didn't bargain for is social media.
💯💯💯
@fokkerfilms560 You are correct. It explains why their excuses and rationalizations are so sloppy and unsophisticated. You lose the ability to adequately explain your actions when you've never been held accountable for your actions.
I'm German, post-war generation and outraged about what's going on in Gaza and the Westbank. Hope experts and activists are going to cooperate in order to stop the insane developments.
Much love to all Palestinians from Brazil.
I am so happy to see him here, wow this guy is a legend to me. His writings are incredible his latest book is just amazing
thank you from Gaza Sirs
We love Palestine. We love Palestinians. We will do all we can to help you.
So sorry about what you're going through. And so sorry the UK Gov. Is aiding and abetting Israel.
Best wishes from Scotland
Solidarity with you all
I have so much respect for you two. It is always important to hear real experts with deep knowledge and ethics to have a more objective opinion about any situation. Thanks again!
I said on day one that this would be a genocide. I still have friends who will not speak to me as a result of my accusation. Now we know that this is exactly what is occurring. Still, people are adamantly denying the truth.
So much been said....Israel continues disregarding all resolutions protests 😢
No human being should live in an open-air prison. Period. End of conversation.
I just subscribed to your channel Owen. The world is in great need of courageous and honest people like you. Great respect to your guest Yanis 💚
I believe Yanis to be speaking a truth that is very difficult to digest…being that I live in the US! But, what has been brought out to the light about America…has always been there, but we the citizens didn’t have a clear picture of what was taking place by our citizens and helpless to stop what we suspected was very wrong!
Always love Yanis’s analysis. So grateful we have him!
Well said, Yanis. 👏
Yanis is a well spoken articulate person who has not only been in government but he is also a deep thinker. Some excellent analysis and ended with some hope. Thank you
glad to see these two speaking on this, two brave people standing against genocide!
Thanks for you videos Owen. We really appreciate it.
Thank you both for all you do to elevate the intelligent, humane and ethical.
Excellent interview. Thank you!
Hiding the genocide doesn't help; at least, they are showing who they really are; astonishing us all, but also, opening common people's eyes!
It really revives my belief in humanity watching you fight this case Owen like you own the pain. And bringing over to your show these level headed people with a heart
Merci Owen ❤ et Monsieur Yanis Varoufakis ❤
Thank you for this important interview 🙏💖
Yes. All the elements of the crime of GENOCIDE under the 1948 Convention have been met. This is a clear case, if prosecuted by an HONEST ICC prosecutor and brought by an indefatigable party on behalf of the Palestinians that saw to it that the prosecutor AND the judge was on the straight and narrow. A Third party state can invoke the Convention. Further signators have an AFFIRMATIVE duty to invoke the Convention.
There are no honest ICC jury .
ICC is just another tool of Western imperialism .
Thank you Yanis for your humanity and for speaking out for the truth!!!
Ça fait plaisir d'entendre des gens honnêtes discuter et dire les choses telles qu'elles sont.
MERCI
Thank you, Owen, for having the brilliant Yanis Varoufakis on your show!
So glad to hear that pearl of light from Yanis' mature vision of the long arc of justice.
Exceptional content..
Thank you Owen for inviting Mr. Yanis Varoufakis
Very happy to listen to you and thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
I'm living in Germany ( born British ) & horrified at their utter indifference made worse by Ursula wonder Leyen .Exactly they are soaked in blood and more so now .How can people be so backward as to be taken in by the mass slaughter, and say ok these are not real people .Every person is worthy of life I'm weary of the 7th Oct since prior to that there had been years with so many attacks .I came here in 1987 and the wall divided Berlin It was a wonderful night when it opened at Bornholmer Strasse and not one shot was fired Walls such as you describe are prisons .Sadly who will take these people .. We see how cruel other countries are re taking refugees ,
Imagine being German. There are no words to describe my shame. I am disgusted by our government and Ursula von der Leyen is highly dangerous, she is an embarrassment for humankind.
Thank you for this interview.
There's so many WW2 Hallocast movies .
When will Hollywood ever make a movie about Genocide of the Palestinian people
Why wait for Hollywood to do it? Watch Farha, watch 5 broken cameras, watch Jenin Jenin, watch The Gatekeepers, watch Tantura...
Always enlightening listening to what Yanis has to say!
This was an extremely informative interview of a brilliant economist and human rights activist.
Thank you for having him on as a guest, on
your podcast. We are all better informed for having
listened to his wisdom and astute insights!
One can only wonder what the effect of being constantly bombarded by advertising lies and drowned in images of violence for so called entertainment actually has on us when coupled with a media willingly propogating the establishment line seems to have turned once concerned citizens into apathetic apolitic zombies.
Thank you very much Owen for this conversation with Yanis. Since I heard him speak during the Greek economic crisis, I have developed deep respect for him. If the world only had more people like him! Thank you for your outstanding work 😍
Owen, thanks for your activism, educating us!
Excellent analysis 🍉
Would ethnic cleansing (history repeating for the Palestinians) be a more accurate description of what is happening in Gaza - and Israel's real intent, to terrorise the people into fleeing from the Gaza Strip . Although ethnic cleansing and genocide usually go together. Two sides of the same coin.
Thanks!
❤️🇵🇸
❤@@OwenJonesTalks
The real man. ❤ I remember Yannis the day he showed Middle Finger to European Union being Finance Minister.
I'm astounded that despite repeated requests, not a single criticizing poster provided an example of what they thought was horribly incorrect about the information presented by Yanis Varoufakis and Own Jones. I doubt they even bothered to listen to the above episode.
Can anybody tell me why King Charles or that amazing Kate Middleton didn't say anything about women and children killed in Gaza. I thought she was a Human Rights ambassador...😏😏
Yanis was my lecturer in economics at the university of Sydney. He is brilliant and many of us loved his lectures and still love and respect him now. Please pass on my comments and greetings to him directly. I would love to have a beer or a tea with him one day.
Wonderful interview!!!!! He is the future! Thank you very much!
Just an excellent video. Many thanks for it, Owen. Yanis is a truly wonderful, enlightening individual and I, too, feel more hopeful for listening to him. Thank you!
There is always light at the end of the tunnel. I love this guest. Stay blessed Owen.
Yanis Varoufakis is fantastic. Besides his intellectual acuity, he has integrity, courage, and humanity.
Thank you for this program
Boycot this genocide
Love Yanis. Always knows which way is down.
