As a White South African, after 30 years of Black rule, the Black man remains viciously racist and insults the White man and blames him for everything that goes wrong in his life and country. Thirty years of Black rule and 'DEI' and South Africa is a failed state. The discrimination I experienced in the workplace was beyond anything I could have imagined. A tragedy for the ages.
That’s happening in America as we speak…. I can’t say that it’s as bad as South Africa (for obvious reasons), but affirmative action, which is nothing more than a somewhat “passive” form of DEI for the past 40yrs, along with formal DEI, and it’s as bad as it’s ever been in America. And, it’s not just race, it’s also sex, political affiliation, sexual identity. The part that keeps you up at night is knowing that the worst cases of this “reverse discrimination” is happening in hospitals…….by design.

To the comments about genocide and Israel I would like to add that, firstly, Judaism (and Christianity for that matter), predates Islam. The jews have been in Israel for thousands of years. Secondly, regarding the facts of ethnic cleansing. In the 1940s in Libya there were 35,000 Jews and today there are zero; in Egypt there were 85,000 and today there are three; in Tunisia there were 100,000 Jews, today there are 1,500; in Iraq there were 100,000 Jews, now there are less than 10; in 1948 there were 7,000 Jews in Lebanon, today there are sixty. It is the same in Syria, Iran, Jordan, etc. Further, non-Muslims minorities in Muslim countries (Iran, Yemen, Egypt, Iraq, etc.) such as Christians, are being persecuted (including the kidnapping and forced conversion of Coptic Christian girls to Islam, who are then sold as brides) are disappearing. In Iran, the Bahai, Zarathustras, and Baloch are being tortured and murdered. Women in Iran aren’t doing so well either. And let’s not forget the Kurds who are fighting for independence. There also used to be millions of Hindus in Muslim countries but they are also disappearing. Meanwhile, the population in Gaza has grown from 63,444 in 1950 to an estimated 800,636 in 2024. If Israel is practicing genocide, then they are really lousy at it. When looking at how non-Muslim communities are treated in Muslim countries the facts speak for themselves. Funny how we never see any protests or civil disobedience over any of that.
This is all true. Unfortunately very few of our brainwashed youth have the attention span or the interest to absorb these facts. They've learned the intersectional oppression matrix and think this is all they need to reach firm conclusions on the Israel/Gaza issue.

I can attest to the reduction of standards at the college level as far back as 1993, when I finally achieved my childhood dreams of a college degree, a full 20 years after I graduated from what would be considered a mediocre, midwestern high school. The junior college challenge was learning to study, but got through that handily (well, except for algebra -- that was hard for me). Upon my arrival at the university level, I was expecting it to be more difficult but it wasn't. In many respects, the academic standards and demands of my high school well exceeded those of the university I attended. In early 2002, in pursuit of a graduate degree, I was thrilled to have been accepted at Georgetown University! Again, I expected much greater challenge than I experienced -- mind you, I'm no genius -- and was surprised by the lack of academic demands and excellence. As a new convert to the Catholic Church, I was looking forward to a thoroughly Catholic education, at the oldest Catholic university in the country. I was thoroughly disappointed. It was a party school where morality and ethics were out the window. Writing assignments that were opinion, or position papers, were down graded if one did not echo the 'correct' position. Half way through my studies, my 27 year old son was diagnosed with leukemia, so I withdrew, without a backward glance, to return home and attend to him. I have no regrets.

They sure do have the right, but that's a specious take on what is happening. To wit: Just recently, the Pro-Hamas protestors, such as they are, defaced a Civil War statue here in NYC. Now, that statue represents a war solely fought for the cause of freedom -- it had no other purpose for occurring. Now, why would these so-called protestors, in the supposed name of "freedom," desecrate a statue that stands for exactly what they claim to believe in? The answer is, Because that's NOT what they're about. It's a smoke-and-mirrors operation, a classic cry-wolf scenario. While they cry "Freedom!", they're really using it as a cloak under which to agitate, and spread fear, discord and hatred. It's been proven that they're paid agitators, funded by Left-leaning billionaires who want to abolish that pesky thing called Democracy. As Davis correctly states, there is no longer a nuanced line between anti-Israel and anti-Semitism. The people on campuses aren't looking to enlighten; rather, they're openly calling for Jews to be eradicated from the world: it's completely overt in their rhetoric. All this, ironically, while they tell us to stop the genocide (another much-misused word, that). As with BLM and George Floyd, they've taken what used to be legitimate talking points and conflated them into hateful and bigoted simplicities. Meanwhile, the college kids are undereducated and indoctrinated, which makes them perfect mules for the agitators who would love nothing more than to raze the whole of Western civilization. I can't for the life of me see how anyone could think that this is going to turn out well. And, if it truly is some sort of Utopia that these people are looking to achieve, that makes it all the more horrifying.
What buffoonery. The Palestinians elect Hamas and people scratch their head at the result. Gaza could have been transformed into a paradise. Instead, they choose to buy rockets. This is a good example of cause and effect.

I can attest to the reduction of standards at the college level as far back as 1993, when I finally achieved my childhood dreams of a college degree, a full 20 years after I graduated from what would be considered a mediocre, midwestern high school. The junior college challenge was learning to study, but got through that handily (well, except for algebra -- that was hard for me). Upon my arrival at the university level, I was expecting it to be more difficult but it wasn't. In many respects, the academic standards and demands of my high school well exceeded those of the university I attended.
In early 2002, in pursuit of a graduate degree, I was thrilled to have been accepted at Georgetown University! Again, I expected much greater challenge than I experienced -- mind you, I'm no genius -- and was surprised by the lack of academic demands and excellence. As a new convert to the Catholic Church, I was looking forward to a thoroughly Catholic education, at the oldest Catholic university in the country. I was thoroughly disappointed. It was a party school where morality and ethics were out the window. Writing assignments that were opinion, or position papers, were down graded if one did not echo the 'correct' position. Half way through my studies, my 27 year old son was diagnosed with leukemia, so I withdrew, without a backward glance, to return home and attend to him. I have no regrets.
I hope your son makes a good recovery.
Brilliant interview - thank God for the sanity and clarity of Victor’s exposition of the American meltdown.

They certainly seem to have forgotten 9/11… which the Palestinians cheered…
Or that Bobby Kennedy Sr was murdered by a Palestinian Arab in 1968 for supporting Israel.
You mean which the Bush Administration helped commit.
that was bogus footage. And you should look into Israel's involvement in carrying out 911, inside job that it was.
Most Muslims cheered.

I never saw myself as “white” until a few years ago. Suddenly I feel threatened because of my skin color, and I look at “white people” as my natural allies. It’s the upside down of how I was raised, but I have to survive.
@user-rm8gt6qq3r I wish we all just treated one another as people. What I am saying is the color blind society I grew up in is being thrown out in favor of a racist society where people are judged by their skin color. It’s crazy
@user-rm8gt6qq3rI fell in love with a beautiful and super smart black girl in college. She told me her father was virulently racist against white people and that he would disown her if she married me. Broke my heart
@user-rm8gt6qq3r I married someone else. Who I love and am devoted to. But I remember my beautiful friend. I am very sorry you were disowned. That is terrible
Thankyou Victor for your wisdom.
I think it's backfiring on Brandon because they are calling him genocide joe. So much for playing two sides to the middle.

Enoch Powell was correct. Race, Tribe. That is the default, healthy condition.

Nonsense. The Brits have themselves to blame for allowing, and continue allowing, mass immigration from the Muslim World. The Jews are tiny minority there compared to Muslims. We all know the Muslims run the show in England; not Jews. Don’t try to pull any of that IslamoNazi BS here buddy.

Excellent and informative interview: thank you everyone.

Always right on the money Dr. Davis Hanson. I find that listening to you is reassuring and terifying at the same tame. Your words resonate with many of the horrible situations that we are living right now.
I saw this coming...in 2016.

I think the organization/financing of this movement started a long time ago.
They are very strategic and planning in advance.
hehehe you bet they are...make no mistake the origins of these movements in the US are NOT organic. They have been manufactured by foreign interests. 100%
you must be new. this started way before that with obama calling everyone islamophobes when criticizing ANYTHING to do with the middle east/radical islam/terrorists
VDH for the win.
Brilliant to hear VDH speak the truth 💯. He is truly one of the few who say it like it is here in the USA. In point of fact, the chaos must be overturned and done with even a shred of the insight that VDH possesses and expresses. BRAVO 👏
AND, thank you for having him speak freely, Steven. Especially now with the EU/UK situation. 🇺🇸

This is wisdom it comes with age and knowledge thanks
So interesting coming here after watching Channel 4 news. Most of us exist in bubbles.
America, you have been touting the world about the wonders of diversity. Now, you can enjoy its "blessings"!
Thank you for speaking up!
Israel is NOT the 51st of America and Americans have a RIGHT to question support for Israel and protest boycott that foreign nation
💯
They sure do have the right, but that's a specious take on what is happening. To wit: Just recently, the Pro-Hamas protestors, such as they are, defaced a Civil War statue here in NYC. Now, that statue represents a war solely fought for the cause of freedom -- it had no other purpose for occurring. Now, why would these so-called protestors, in the supposed name of "freedom," desecrate a statue that stands for exactly what they claim to believe in? The answer is, Because that's NOT what they're about. It's a smoke-and-mirrors operation, a classic cry-wolf scenario. While they cry "Freedom!", they're really using it as a cloak under which to agitate, and spread fear, discord and hatred. It's been proven that they're paid agitators, funded by Left-leaning billionaires who want to abolish that pesky thing called Democracy.
As Davis correctly states, there is no longer a nuanced line between anti-Israel and anti-Semitism. The people on campuses aren't looking to enlighten; rather, they're openly calling for Jews to be eradicated from the world: it's completely overt in their rhetoric. All this, ironically, while they tell us to stop the genocide (another much-misused word, that). As with BLM and George Floyd, they've taken what used to be legitimate talking points and conflated them into hateful and bigoted simplicities. Meanwhile, the college kids are undereducated and indoctrinated, which makes them perfect mules for the agitators who would love nothing more than to raze the whole of Western civilization.
I can't for the life of me see how anyone could think that this is going to turn out well. And, if it truly is some sort of Utopia that these people are looking to achieve, that makes it all the more horrifying.
@user-rm8gt6qq3r Israel has "supported" the US by telling lies, spying, terrorism, and blowback from the shit they do over there.
Surprised to see VDH on GBN, really. He's a good voice.
Love VDH
Like a breath of fresh air these days hearing a normal logical & truthful person.

Man it's gotta be awesome to just sit there and lie through your teeth
God bless you VDH my favorite educator and classists!!

Hippies. Woodstock. This is YOUR legacy.
Between 1960 and 1970, the United States and the West collapsed morally.
Yup. My generation. I was there. The beginning of the end. Thank God I woke up years ago.
You skipped a generation pal. The hippies are now in their 70's and older. Their kids are now in college or in the work force.
Why does he have to let a few facts get in the way of a good story ?
I was wrestling with suspicions about George Soros vs. compassion for the Gazans, but now I don't care since you've raised this question.
Once you learn that evil plays both sides in conflict, then you will realize why evil continues to advance.
Hello USA, welcome the the fight you have created.
What buffoonery. The Palestinians elect Hamas and people scratch their head at the result. Gaza could have been transformed into a paradise. Instead, they choose to buy rockets. This is a good example of cause and effect.
Yep a return of the favor of color-revolutions
The USA is an occupied government and has been for over 100 years.
Am I the only one that has noticed that the USA has been in perpetual war since the creation of the Fed?
I love VDH!
Very good interview on a broad range of subjects.
Victor Davis Hansen is always worth listening to
Victor has no understanding of the 75 year illegal occupation of Palestine. President Truman's Secretary of Defense General Marshall warned, that displacing the Palestinians would be a grave mistake for the US; Gen Marshall was right. You cannot ethnically cleanse an area for a land grab & think it leads to peace. The students are saving our face, are well informed, & show a moral courage. We cannot tear up the Bill of Rights Free Speech principle!
@@HedyForFunLamarr Screw you you tube you've lost most of your audience because they see your censorship and bias tick tock times running out for the cia and mi6
Most don't even know what river to what sea the chant endlessly about... And to protest the death of one human people by advocating for the death of another like you do just makes any argument you make ridiculous... You don't even bring up the genocide in Burma or the senseless deaths in Sudan.... So your your morals are phony
I used to think that too but not on this subject .
@@HedyForFunLamarr The Jewish people made the down-payment on their land at Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen, Buchenwald, Dachau, Mauthausen, and all the other camps. Maybe you should visit a few.

Superb analysis.
But speak the about the banks, the weapons trade, the Lobby groups, media, speak about Soros, Schwab and the rest and it's "anti semitic"
VDH. Always new information. No matter how up to date we think, you drop these inciteful gems.
Your time-line of serial Trump prosecutions; like a Sherlock Holmes reasoning of who stabbed what and when, you nail the connections. For Joe Bloggs judgement.
A great comment. The metaphor and analogy are excellent. Very compelling. Dr. Hanson definitely deserves it.
Remember the small communities near Gaza border were peace loving,they had an activist murdered whom had given here life to fighting for Palestine. HAMAS killed her.Be careful who you sit down with
Community Organizers.
Shame on these genocide supporters.
Agree fully..hamas are the worst
Shame on Hamas supporters who killed 1200 in one day if thy have 1 weeks how much will be 7 million G is a joke you make it sound like
These students are a bunch of lambs. They are such little wimps that if you give them a little hardship they will back down.

So happy GB News had VDH on! Forget BBC! Well done.
Victor, the Islamic students are here at least in their minds for the purpose of conquest. So of course they don't want to go home. A Muslim is not supposed to give ground. If you read "Reliance of the Traveler"you can look up the rules of warfare and conquest and you'll see what I'm saying is true.
I agree with this. It’s like they want to bring their holy war here and conquer, but I believe Victor knows this. The students just say they don’t want to go home. It’s that other chick who cried when she got consequences for her words.

Has Victor Davis Hansen heard of the JVP, Jewish voice for peace? Very brave jews protesting against this horror. Has he heard of Dr. Finkelstein, a jew whose parents survived the Holocaust? Read Dr. Finkelstein's book, Hansen!!
Thank you Dr Hanson
Terrific report--great questioning. Victor has the insight into so much. I live in rural America (Utah)--good luck to anyone trying to pull any tricks here. There is a trained army out here. Everyone is so angry at this regime.
Why is the professors audio being silenced by u tube when he is giving facts about the nov 7th
Great interview Steven, carrying on your tradition from the Telegraph. You ask relevant questions to important people and let them speak and answer. Top marks. Prof Hanson is a wise, well informed man, well worth listening to. It would be amazing if you could interview Thomas Sowell, he's in his nineties but if willing it would be fabulous.
Superior. I have done a lot of research on some of these topics. And still learned a lot from this .
I am sure the people protesting are not for hamas but for the drs that have been murdered in hospital garza for the press murdered for children un burird among the rumble for familys killed by bombing for the starving it is out of pity and kindnes they are protesting
They literally told a cop "We are ALL Hamas, pig!" Don't you watch the news?
Condi Rice for president! Victor Davis Hanson for VP! Niall Ferguson for secretary of defense. Thomas Sowell for secretary of state. I'm not thrilled about another Trump term but I'm horrified about a Kamala Harris presidency!!
What a mess. Our young fools need a cause... Rebels without a cause

VDH is uninformed on the Palestine / Israel conflict. He needs to listen to Max Blumenthal and some of the reporters on the ground to get some perspective.
Source for your comment on VHD.?
That's hilarious! Great joke!
Faith in the American Judicial System?? HAH! Are you kidding? Faith, Trust, Confidence, Respect... all equal ZERO - under this current administration.
Thank you Dr.Hansen for telling us what's going on.
Wow, awesome analogy! VDH always explains things that us non-elitist can understand. He truly is a Patriot who knows our history and how our wonderful Constitution has kept us free going on 250 years. Too bad there is such a fervor to tear it apart now. However, throughout history most kingdoms have lasts between 200 and 250 years and then the end has come. I'm faith-based so I put my future in the hands of Almighty God!
