The West's Unbroken RACISM At The Heart Of The Gaza Genocide | Prof. Michael Brenner

Originally published on Dec 15, 2024.
The genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza is not the doing of Israel alone. It's the outcome of the deeply entrenched and unbroken racism of the Collective West. The very thing liberal empowerment movements fought against domestically, and mainstream pseudo-liberalism made us believe was a "thing of the past", is the engine of this crime of crimes. It's the Euro-American "classic" Anglosaxon-superiority syndrome that is fueling the ideologically, psychologically, economically, and ultimately militarily reality of the genocide.

A multi-year international system of extermination as we are seeing unfolding in front of our eyes is the result of a large, sustained, and prepared machinery of death. Such an absolute disregard for human life can only be implemented by way of a deeply seated and now openly expressed dehumanization of an entire population. A population that is blamed for their own extermination as to wash clean the hands of the perpetrators in Tel Aviv, Brussels, Berlin, Washington, and all the other capitals that keep adding and abetting the erradication effort.

To discuss this saddest of all topics, I'm again joined by Dr. Michael Brenner, a Professor Emeritus of International Affairs at the University of Pittsburgh and a Fellow at the Center for Transatlantic Relations at John Hopkins.
