'Iran and Gaza Are ONLY THE BEGINNING' (Chris Hedges at Princeton)

 Bloggers Note : The concept of a "New World Order"—traditionally an aspiration for a stable, rules-based international system—has been largely replaced in 2026 by a "New World Disorder".

.TRANSCRIPT 

Thank you for inviting me. I um have just finished uh with the cartoonist Joe Sako. I hope
8 seconds
you know his work Palestine footnotes in Gaza, a book on the genocide. We interviewed 29 families in Egypt from
18 seconds
Gaza uh and have spent the last year writing the story of the genocide through their
25 seconds
experiences. We literally turned in the manuscript a week ago, which is why if I look burned out, I am burned out. It'll
33 seconds
be published um in uh October. Um but I didn't want to speak about the book given what's
40 seconds
happening as I speak in southern Lebanon, in Iran,
46 seconds
and in Gaza. Um I wanted to speak a little more globally today.
54 seconds
The genocide in Gaza is the beginning.
58 seconds
Welcome to the new world order, the age of technologically advanced barbarism.
1 minute, 5 seconds
There are no rules for the strong, only for the weak. Oppose the strong. Refuse
1 minute, 11 seconds
to bow to its capricious demands. And you are showered with missiles and bombs.
1 minute, 18 seconds
We watch this madness daily with the war on Iran, the saturation bombing of southern Lebanon, and the suffering in
1 minute, 27 seconds
Gaza. International bodies such as the United Nations have been neutered,
1 minute, 34 seconds
transformed into useless appendages of another age. The sanctity of individual rights, open borders, and international law have vanished.
1 minute, 46 seconds
the most psychopathic rulers of human history. Those who reduced cities to
1 minute, 53 seconds
ashes, herded captive populations to execution sites, and littered lands they occupied with mass graves and corpses,
2 minutes, 4 seconds
have returned with a vengeance, opening up a vast moral abyss.
2 minutes, 10 seconds
The law, despite a few valiant efforts by a handful of judges who will soon be
2 minutes, 17 seconds
purged domestically and an international bodies such as the International Court of Justice is contemptuously violated.
2 minutes, 26 seconds
Savagery abroad, savagery at home.
2 minutes, 32 seconds
The BBC's Lucy Williamson reports that Israel is destroying South Lebanon, and
2 minutes, 39 seconds
I quote, "Using Gaza as a model, a blueprint for destruction,
2 minutes, 46 seconds
used again as a path to peace." End quote.
2 minutes, 50 seconds
Over 1 million people have already been displaced in Lebanon.
2 minutes, 55 seconds
1ifth of the entire population of a country that already hosts the world's
3 minutes, 2 seconds
highest number of refugees per capita in just a few weeks.
3 minutes, 8 seconds
Add to this 2 million displaced in Gaza and 3 million displaced in Iran.
3 minutes, 16 seconds
6 million people rendered homeless for four decades. Israeli Prime Minister
3 minutes, 24 seconds
Benjamin Netanyahu has been lobbying for the US to go to war with Iran.
3 minutes, 31 seconds
Previous administrations, Republican and Democrat, have refused in no small part because of fierce opposition within the
3 minutes, 40 seconds
Pentagon, which did not view Iran as an existential threat and did not project a
3 minutes, 46 seconds
positive outcome for the United States or its allies.
3 minutes, 51 seconds
But Donald Trump, encouraged by his inept negotiating team of his son-in-law Jared Kushner and fellow real estate
4 minutes
developer and golfing partner Steve Witkoff, each fervent Zionists, took the bait. Joseph Kent, who resigned his
4 minutes, 10 seconds
position as director of the National Counterterrorism Center to protest the war, wrote in his resignation letter
4 minutes, 18 seconds
that quote, "Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure
4 minutes, 25 seconds
from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
4 minutes, 30 seconds
The public rationale for the war on Iran since it began on February 28th has been
4 minutes, 37 seconds
protein. Is it to shut down Iran's nuclear program?
4 minutes, 42 seconds
Is it to thwart Iran's ballistic missile program? Is it because the US carried out preemptive attacks on Iran, as Marco
4 minutes, 50 seconds
Rubio said, to ensure the safety of US assets once Israel decided to strike?
4 minutes, 59 seconds
Is it because the Iranian government carried out lethal repression, killing hundreds of anti-government protesters
5 minutes, 6 seconds
during massive street protests? Is it regime change? Is it an attempt to shut down Iran's so-called state sponsored terrorism?
5 minutes, 16 seconds
Or are these subuses for something else?
5 minutes, 20 seconds
Certainly, Israel and the US seek regime change, but here it appears the US and Israel diverge. Israel also apparently
5 minutes, 28 seconds
seeks, as in Iraq, Syria, Libya, and Lebanon, the physical disintegration of Iran, the breaking apart of the country
5 minutes, 37 seconds
into waring ethnic and religious enclaves, the transformation of Iran into a failed state. Persians in Iran,
5 minutes, 46 seconds
where I worked frequently, constitute roughly 61% of the population with
5 minutes, 53 seconds
various minority groups who often suffer state repression making up the remaining 39%.
6 minutes, 1 second
These ethnic groups include Azerbaijanis, Kurds, Lures, Balaks,
6 minutes, 7 seconds
Arabs, and Turkmans along with religious minorities such as Sunnis, Christians,
6 minutes, 13 seconds
Bahigh, Zoroastrians, and Jews. The shattering of Iran into antagonistic
6 minutes, 20 seconds
ethnic and religious enclaves would leave Israel as the dominant power in the region, given it the ability to, if
6 minutes, 28 seconds
not occupy its neighbors uh then directly control and subjugate them through proxies, part of a longheld
6 minutes, 38 seconds
desire for greater Israel. It would also make it possible for foreign states to control Iranian gas reserves. the second
6 minutes, 46 seconds
largest in the world and its oil reserves 12% of the global total.
6 minutes, 53 seconds
Israel's crusade against the Palestinians, the Lebanese, and now the Iranians is justified by the
7 minutes, 1 second
extermination of 6 million Jews during the Holocaust. But it is not lost on the global south,
7 minutes, 9 seconds
especially Palestinians, that nearly all Holocaust scholars have refused to condemn the genocide in Gaza.
7 minutes, 17 seconds
Not one of the institutions dedicated to researching and commemorating the Holocaust have drawn the obvious
7 minutes, 26 seconds
historical parallels or decrieded the mass slaughter.
7 minutes, 30 seconds
Holocaust scholars, with a handful of exceptions, have exposed their true purpose, which is not to examine the
7 minutes, 38 seconds
dark side of human nature and the frightening propensity we all have to commit evil, but to sanctify Jews as
7 minutes, 47 seconds
eternal victims and absolve the ethnationalist state of Israel of its crimes of settler colonialism,
7 minutes, 55 seconds
apartheid, and genocide.
7 minutes, 58 seconds
The hijacking of the Holocaust, the failure to defend Palestinian victims because they are Palestinian has
8 minutes, 6 seconds
imploded the moral authority of Holocaust scholars and Holocaust memorials. They have been exposed at ve
8 minutes, 14 seconds
as vehicles not to prevent genocide but to perpetuate it, not to explore the past but manipulate the present. any
8 minutes, 23 seconds
tepeeid recognition that the Holocaust may not be the exclusive property of Israel and its Zionist supporters is
8 minutes, 32 seconds
swiftly shut down. The Holocaust Museum in Los Angeles deleted an Instagram post that read, "Never again can't only mean
8 minutes, 41 seconds
never again for Jews." After a backlash in the hands of Zionists, never again means precisely that. Never again, only
8 minutes, 50 seconds
for Jews. Am Cesar in discourse on colonialism which you if you haven't read it you should read it writes that
8 minutes, 59 seconds
Hitler seemed exceptionally cruel only because he presided over quote the humiliation of the white man applying to
9 minutes, 7 seconds
Europe the colonialist procedures which until then had been reserved exclusively for the Arabs of Algeria the quote
9 minutes, 16 seconds
unquote coolies of India and the blacks of Africa. the near annihilation of
9 minutes, 22 seconds
Tasmania's aboriginal population, the German slaughter of the Herrero and Namakqua, the Armenian genocide, the Bengal famine of 1943.
9 minutes, 34 seconds
Then British Prime Minister Winston Churchill referred to Hindus as quote a beastly people with a beastly religion
9 minutes, 42 seconds
along with the dropping of nuclear bombs on civilian targets in Hiroshima Nagasaki
9 minutes, 48 seconds
illustrates something fundamental about Western civilization.
9 minutes, 54 seconds
Genocide is not an anomaly. It is coded within our DNA
10 minutes, 1 second
in America. The poet Langston Hughes said, "Negroes do not have to be told what fascism is in action. We know its
10 minutes, 10 seconds
theories of Nordic supremacy and economic suppression have long been realities to us." The Nazis, when they
10 minutes, 19 seconds
formulated the Nuremberg laws, modeled them on laws designed to disenfranchise blacks. America's refusal to grant
10 minutes, 28 seconds
citizenship to Native Americans and Filipinos although they lived in the US and US territories
10 minutes, 36 seconds
was emulated by the German fascists who stripped citizenship from Jews. American anti-misogynation laws which
10 minutes, 44 seconds
criminalized interracial marriage were the impetus to outlaw marriages between German Jews and Aryans. American juristprudence classified anyone with 1%
10 minutes, 56 seconds
of black ancestry, the so-called one drop rule, as black. The Nazis, ironically, showing more flexibility,
11 minutes, 5 seconds
classified anyone with three or more Jewish grandparents as Jewish. the millions of indigenous victims of
11 minutes, 14 seconds
colonial projects in countries such as Mexico, China, India, Australia, the Congo, and Vietnam for this reason are
11 minutes, 23 seconds
deaf to the fatuous claims by Zionists that their victimhood is unique. They too suffered holocausts, but these
11 minutes, 32 seconds
holocausts remain minimized or unacnowledged by their Western perpetrators.
11 minutes, 39 seconds
Israel embodies the ethno nationalist state our own Christian fascists and the far-right dream of creating for
11 minutes, 47 seconds
themselves one that rejects political and cultural pluralism as well as legal
11 minutes, 54 seconds
diplomatic and ethical norms. Israel is admired by the far right because it has turned its back on humanitarian law and
12 minutes, 3 seconds
uses indiscriminate lethal force to cleanse its society of those condemned as human contaminants.
12 minutes, 11 seconds
It was this distortion of the Holocaust that troubled Primo Levy who was
12 minutes, 17 seconds
imprisoned in Ashvitz from 1944 to 1945 and who wrote Survival in Ashvitz.
12 minutes, 26 seconds
Levy was a fierce critic of the apartheid state of Israel and its treatment of Palestinians.
12 minutes, 32 seconds
He saw the showa as quote an inexhaustible source of evil that is perpetuated as hatred in the survivors
12 minutes, 41 seconds
and springs up in a thousand ways against the very will of all as a thirst for revenge as moral breakdown as negation as weariness as resignation.
12 minutes, 54 seconds
Levy deplored the manachism of those who shun nuance and complexity. He condemned those who reduce the river of human
13 minutes, 3 seconds
events to conflicts and conflicts to duels, us and them. He warned that the
13 minutes, 10 seconds
network of human relationships inside the concentration camps was not simple. It could not be reduced to two blocks,
13 minutes, 19 seconds
victims and perpetrators. The enemy he knew was outside but also inside.
13 minutes, 27 seconds
Morai himkowski known as King Heim ruled in the load ghetto in Poland on behalf of the Nazi
13 minutes, 36 seconds
occupiers. The ghetto became a slave labor camp that enriched Rcowski and his Nazi masters. Rcowski deported opponents
13 minutes, 46 seconds
to death camps. He raped and molested girls and women. He demanded unquestioned obedience. He embodied the
13 minutes, 54 seconds
evil of his oppressors. For Levy, he was an example of what many of us under similar circumstances are capable of becoming.
14 minutes, 5 seconds
We are all mirror mirrored in Rumcowski.
14 minutes, 8 seconds
His ambiguity is ours. It is our second nature. We hybrids molded from clay and spirit. Levy wrote in The Drowned and
14 minutes, 18 seconds
The Saved. His fever is ours. The fever of our Western civilization that descends into hell with trumpets and
14 minutes, 26 seconds
drums, and its miserable adornments are the distorting image of our symbols of social prestige.
14 minutes, 35 seconds
Like Rumcowski, we too are so dazzled by power and prestige as to forget our essential fragility. Levy continues,
14 minutes, 44 seconds
"Willingly or not, we come to terms with power, forgetting that we are all in the ghetto, that the ghetto is walled in,
14 minutes, 51 seconds
that outside the ghetto reign the lords of death, and that close by the train is waiting."
14 minutes, 58 seconds
Levy understood that the line between the victim and the victimizer is razor
15 minutes, 5 seconds
thin. We can all become willing executioners. There is nothing
15 minutes, 11 seconds
intrinsically moral about being Jewish or a survivor of the Holocaust. And Levy for this reason was persona nonrada in Israel.
15 minutes, 22 seconds
Zionists find in the Holocaust and the Jewish state a sense of purpose and meaning as well as a cloying moral superiority.
15 minutes, 31 seconds
After the 1967 war, when Israel seized Gaza, the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, Syria's Golan Heights, and
15 minutes, 40 seconds
Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, Israel, as American sociologist Nathan Glazer approvingly observed,
15 minutes, 48 seconds
became quote the religion of the American Jews. The Holocaust became their moral capital.
15 minutes, 56 seconds
Jewish suffering is depicted as ineffable, uncommunicable, and yet always to be proclaimed, writes the
16 minutes, 3 seconds
European historian Charles Mayor. In the unmasterable past, history, Holocaust,
16 minutes, 9 seconds
and German national identity. It is intensely private, not to be deliluted,
16 minutes, 15 seconds
but simultaneously public, so that gentile society will confirm the crimes.
16 minutes, 21 seconds
A very peculiar suffering must be enshrined in public sites, Holocaust museums, memory gardens, deportation
16 minutes, 29 seconds
sites, dedicated not as Jewish, but civic memorials. But what is the role of a museum in a country such as the United
16 minutes, 37 seconds
States, far from the site of the Holocaust? Is it to rally the people who suffer or to instruct non-Jews? Is it
16 minutes, 46 seconds
supposed to serve as a reminder that it can happen here? Or is it a statement that some special consideration is
16 minutes, 54 seconds
deserved? Under what circumstances can a private sorrow serve simultaneously as a public grief? And if genifi genocide is
17 minutes, 3 seconds
certified as a public sorrow, then must we not accept the credentials of other particular sorrows too? An American
17 minutes, 13 seconds
historian of Polish ancestry argues that with a German invasion of 1939, the Poles became the first people in Europe
17 minutes, 20 seconds
to experience the Holocaust. And that historians have so far chosen to interpret the tragedy in exclusivist
17 minutes, 28 seconds
terms terms, namely as the most tragic period in the history of the Jewish diaspora. If Polish Americans claim that
17 minutes, 37 seconds
their own quote unquote forgotten Holocaust, what recognition should they enjoy? Do Armenians and Cambodians also
17 minutes, 44 seconds
have a right to publicly funded Holocaust museums? And do we need memorials to 7th Day Adventists and
17 minutes, 52 seconds
homosexuals for their persecution at the hands of the Third Reich? Unique suffering
17 minutes, 59 seconds
confers unique entitlement. Any crime Israel carries out in the name of its survival, its right to exist, is
18 minutes, 8 seconds
justified in the name of this uniqueness.
18 minutes, 11 seconds
There are no limits. The world is black and white, a neverending battle against Nazism, which is protein, depending on
18 minutes, 20 seconds
who Israel targets. To challenge this bloodlust is to be an anti-semite, facilitating another genocide of Jews.
18 minutes, 29 seconds
This simplistic formula not only serves the interests of Israel, but also the interests of colonial powers that
18 minutes, 36 seconds
carried out their own genocides, ones they also seek to obscure.
18 minutes, 43 seconds
The sacralization of the Nazi Holocaust offers a bizarre quid proquo. arming and funding the state of Israel, blocking UN
18 minutes, 52 seconds
resolutions and sanctions that would condemn its crimes and demonizing Palestinians and their supporters
18 minutes, 59 seconds
becomes proof of atonement and support for Jews. Israel in return absolves the West for its indifference to the plight
19 minutes, 7 seconds
of Jews during the Holocaust and Germany for perpetrating it. Germany uses this unholy alliance to separate Nazism from
19 minutes, 16 seconds
the rest of German history. including the genocide German colonists carried out against the Nama and Herrerero in German southwest Africa, now Namibia.
19 minutes, 27 seconds
Such magic, the Israeli historian and genocide scholar Raz Seagull writes,
19 minutes, 32 seconds
legitimizes racism against Palestinians at the very moment that Israel perpetrates genocide against them. The
19 minutes, 40 seconds
idea of Holocaust uniqueness thus reproduces rather than challenges the exclusionary nationalism and settler colonialism that led to the Holocaust.
19 minutes, 51 seconds
Professor Seagull, the director of the program in Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Stockton University in New
19 minutes, 58 seconds
Jersey, wrote an article about the war on Gaza on October 13, 2023 titled A Textbook Case of Genocide.
20 minutes, 11 seconds
This denunciation from an Israeli Holocaust scholar whose family members perished in the Holocaust was a very lonely stance.
20 minutes, 21 seconds
Professor Seagull saw in the Israeli government's immediate demand that Palestinians evacuate the north of Gaza
20 minutes, 28 seconds
and the blood curdling demonization of the Palestinians by Israeli officials.
20 minutes, 34 seconds
The defense minister said Israel was fighting quote unquote human animals,
20 minutes, 38 seconds
the stench of genocide. The whole idea about prevention and never again is that as we teach our students there are red
20 minutes, 46 seconds
flags that once we notice them we're supposed to work in order to stop the process that could escalate to genocide.
20 minutes, 54 seconds
Professor Seagull told me even if it's not genocidal yet. Holocaust studies as a field might be dead which is not necessarily a bad thing. He continued,
21 minutes, 6 seconds
"If indeed Holocaust studies is intertwined from the beginning with the ideology of global Holocaust memory,
21 minutes, 14 seconds
maybe it's good that we won't have Holocaust studies anymore. And maybe it will open the door for even more interesting and important research on
21 minutes, 22 seconds
the Holocaust as history, as real history." Professor Seagull paid for his
21 minutes, 29 seconds
honesty. The offer to lead the University of Minnesota's Center for Holocaust and Genocidal Genocide Studies, which has issued no
21 minutes, 38 seconds
condemnation of the genocide, was revoked. When Professor Seagull and I testified at the state capital in
21 minutes, 44 seconds
Trenton in opposition to the adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, the IH Bill, which equates
21 minutes, 53 seconds
criticism of the state of Israel with anti-semitism. We were jered by Zionists and our microphones were cut by the
22 minutes
committee chairman. There we were arguing that this bill would cretail free speech while we were in real time being denied free speech.
22 minutes, 14 seconds
Genocide is the next stage in what the anthropologist Arjun Apador calls quote
22 minutes, 21 seconds
a vast worldwide Malthusian correction that is geared to preparing the world for the winners of globalization
22 minutes, 29 seconds
minus the inconvenient noise of the losers. The funding and arming of Israel by the United States and European allies
22 minutes, 38 seconds
as it carries out genocide has effectively imploded the postworld war II international legal order. It no
22 minutes, 46 seconds
longer has credibility. The West can no longer lecture anyone about democracy,
22 minutes, 52 seconds
human rights, or the supposed virtues of Western civilization.
22 minutes, 57 seconds
The ruse that somehow we as a nation promote democracy, equality, and human rights is finished. At the same time
23 minutes, 6 seconds
that Gaza induces vertigo, a feeling of chaos and emptiness, it becomes for countless powerless people, the
23 minutes, 15 seconds
essential condition of political and ethical consciousness in the 21st century, just as the first world war was
23 minutes, 23 seconds
for a generation in the west. Pankage Mishra writes,
23 minutes, 29 seconds
"None of us who reported from Israel and Palestine, where I worked as a reporter for seven years, predicted this genocide,
23 minutes, 37 seconds
and yet we were acutely aware of the genocidal impulse that lay at the heart of the Zionist project, the desire by
23 minutes, 45 seconds
large segments of Israeli society to eradicate and expel all Palestinians.
23 minutes, 51 seconds
This genocidal impulse was there from the inception of Zionism. Victor Clemper, a professor of linguistics and
24 minutes
the son of a Berlin rabbi living under Nazi rule, noted in his diary, quote,
24 minutes, 5 seconds
"To me the Zionists who want to go back to the Jewish state of 70 AD, the destruction of Jerusalem by Titus, are
24 minutes, 13 seconds
just as offensive as the Nazis with their nosing after blood, their ancient cultural roots, their partly caning,
24 minutes, 22 seconds
partly obtuse winding back of the world.
24 minutes, 25 seconds
They are altogether a match for the national socialists. I covered the extremist rabbi Marahana who claimed
24 minutes, 33 seconds
that violence was a Jewish virtue and revenge a divine commandment. He was when I was based in Jerusalem, barred by
24 minutes, 41 seconds
the Israeli government from running for office. Kahana was assassinated on November 5th, 1990 in New York City. His
24 minutes, 50 seconds
 party in Israel was outlawed four years later after Baroo Golstein, a Brooklyn-b born doctor and member,
24 minutes, 59 seconds
entered Hebrron's Ibrahimi mosque and opened fire on worshippers, killing 29 Palestinians, an event I covered for the
25 minutes, 7 seconds
New York Times. Goldstein, dressed in his army captain's uniform, was overpowered by worshippers and beaten to death.
25 minutes, 17 seconds
 following its statements of support for the massacre was declared a terrorist organization by the United States.
25 minutes, 27 seconds
But Kahanaism didn't die. It was nurtured by Jewish extremists and colonists.
25 minutes, 34 seconds
Cox's racial intolerance and calls for mass violence against Palestinians infected larger and larger segments of Israeli society.
25 minutes, 44 seconds
I saw this intolerance at political rallies rallies held by Netanyahu
25 minutes, 51 seconds
who received lavish funding from right-wing Americans associated with Apac when he ran against Yeetsak Rabbine
25 minutes, 59 seconds
who was negotiating a peace settlement with the Palestinians.
26 minutes, 3 seconds
Netanyahu's supporters chanted Kahana inspired slogans such as death to Arabs and death to Rabbine. They burned an
26 minutes, 12 seconds
effigy of Rabbine dressed in a Nazi uniform. Netanyahu marched in front of a mock funeral for Rabbine and Rabbine was
26 minutes, 21 seconds
assassinated by a Jewish fanatic on November 4th, 1995.
26 minutes, 27 seconds
Netanyahu, who first became prime minister in 1996,
26 minutes, 32 seconds
has spent his political career nurturing these Jewish extremists, including Itamar Bengavier, who hung a portrait of
26 minutes, 40 seconds
Goldstein on the wall of his living room. Bezel Smotrich, Avidor Lieberman, Gideon Sar, Naftali Bennett, and others.
26 minutes, 49 seconds
Netanyahu's father, Ben Zion, who worked as an assistant to the founder of revisionist Zionism, Vladimir Jabotinski,
26 minutes, 58 seconds
who was referred to by Bonito Mussolini,
27 minutes, 1 second
and I quote, as a good fascist, was a leader in the Harut Party that called on Israel to seize all of the land of
27 minutes, 8 seconds
historic Palestine. Many of those who formed the Harut Party carried out terrorist attacks during the 1948 war that established the state of Israel.
27 minutes, 19 seconds
Albert Einstein, Hannah Erin, Sydney Hook, and other Jewish intellectuals described the Harut Party in a statement
27 minutes, 27 seconds
published in the New York Times as a party quote closely akin in its organization, methods, political
27 minutes, 35 seconds
philosophy, and social appeal to Nazi and fascist parties.
27 minutes, 40 seconds
There has always been a virulent strain of Jewish fascism within the Zionist project mirroring mirroring the strain of fascism in American society.
27 minutes, 52 seconds
Unfortunately for us and the Palestinians, these fascistic strains are ascendant.
28 minutes
The decision to obliterate Gaza has long been the dream of far-right Zionists,
28 minutes, 6 seconds
heirs of Kahana's movement. Jewish identity and Jewish nationalism are the Zionist versions of the Nazis blood and
28 minutes, 14 seconds
soil ideology. Jewish supremacy is sanctified by God as is the slaughter of the Palestinians who Netanyahu compared
28 minutes, 23 seconds
to the biblical Amalachites who were massacred by the Israelites. Europeans and Euroamericans in the American
28 minutes, 31 seconds
colonies use the same biblical passage to justify their genocide against Native
28 minutes, 38 seconds
Americans. Enemies, usually Muslims, who are slated for extinction are subhumans
28 minutes, 46 seconds
who embody evil. Violence and the threat of violence are the only forms of communication. Those outside the magical
28 minutes, 56 seconds
circle of Jewish nationalism understand messianic redemption will take place once the Palestinians are expelled.
29 minutes, 6 seconds
Jewish extremists call for the Alaka mosque, one of three of the most sacred sites for Muslims supposedly built on
29 minutes, 14 seconds
the ruins of the Jewish second temple which was destroyed by the Roman army in 70 AD to be demolished. These extremists
29 minutes, 23 seconds
call for it to be replaced by a third Jewish temple, a move that would set the Muslim world al light. The West Bank,
29 minutes, 31 seconds
which zealots refer to as Judea and Samaria, is being annexed, as I speak,
29 minutes, 37 seconds
by Israel. Israel, governed by religious laws imposed by ultraorththodox shas and
29 minutes, 43 seconds
united Torah Judaism parties will soon mirror the despotic theocracy in Iran.
29 minutes, 52 seconds
James Baldwin preciently saw this regression to our innate barbarism and
30 minutes
just the students here if you have not read James Baldwin you don't understand America he warned that there was a quote
30 minutes, 8 seconds
terrible probability that western populations struggling to hold on to what they have stolen from their
30 minutes, 15 seconds
captives and unable to look into their mirror will precipitate a chaos throughout the world which if it does
30 minutes, 24 seconds
not bring life on this planet to an end will bring about a racial war as the world has never seen and for which
30 minutes, 32 seconds
generations yet unborn will curse our names forever.
30 minutes, 39 seconds
The savagery in Iran, Lebanon, and Gaza is the same savagery we face at home.
30 minutes, 48 seconds
Those carrying out the genocide, mass slaughter, and unprovoked war on Iran are the same people dismantling our democratic institutions.
30 minutes, 59 seconds
The Iranians, Lebanese, and Palestinians know there is no appeasing these
31 minutes, 6 seconds
monsters. The global elites believe nothing. They feel nothing. They cannot
31 minutes, 14 seconds
be trusted. They exhibit the core traits of all psychopaths.
31 minutes, 21 seconds
Superficial charm, grandiosity and self-importance,
31 minutes, 26 seconds
a need for constant stimulation, a penchant for lying, deception,
31 minutes, 31 seconds
manipulation, and the inability to feel remorse or guilt. They disdain as weakness the virtues of empathy,
31 minutes, 40 seconds
honesty, compassion, and self sacrifice. They live by the creed of me me.
31 minutes, 49 seconds
The fact that millions of people share the same vices does not make these vices virtues. The fact that they share so
31 minutes, 56 seconds
many errors does not make the errors to be truths. And the fact that millions of people share the same forms of mental
32 minutes, 4 seconds
pathology does not make these people sane. Eric Fro writes in the sane society.
32 minutes, 12 seconds
We have witnessed evil for nearly three years in Gaza. We watch it now in Iran.
32 minutes, 19 seconds
We watch it in Lebanon. We see this evil excused or masked by political leaders and the media. The New York Times in a
32 minutes, 28 seconds
page out of Orwell sent an internal memo telling reporters and editors to eskeew the terms refugee camps, occupied territory,
32 minutes, 39 seconds
ethnic cleansing, and of course genocide when writing about Gaza. those who name and denounce this evil,
32 minutes, 48 seconds
including the heroic students who set up encampments on campuses here at Princeton and even abroad, are smeared,
32 minutes, 59 seconds
blacklisted, and purged. They are arrested and deported. A deadening silence is descending upon us. The silence of all authoritarian states.
33 minutes, 11 seconds
We know where this ends.
