Former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis has made significant remarks concerning the ongoing Palestinian-Israeli tension. He attributes the root of the problem in the region to Israel's violence and racism and criticizes the Western world for its long-standing silence regarding Israeli violence.
Varoufakis points to Israel's systematic racist policies and violent methods as the starting point of the conflict, likening it to the racism experienced by black people in South Africa under white supremacy. He emphasizes that discriminatory and racist policies are the real problem.
He highlights the plight of Palestinians, describing them as living in a prison and suggesting that those subjected to racism and discrimination will either perish or rebel.
Varoufakis goes further to blame the Western world for the current situation in the region, stating that they have been silent for decades and only react when crises occur and cameras capture the events. He asserts that Europeans and Americans share in the responsibility for this "crime against humanity."
The former Greek Minister concludes by urging the Western world to take decisive steps toward peace to absolve itself of guilt.
