Germany pioneered Europe’s crackdown on Palestine solidarity, and Britain is catching up fast — proscribing solidarity groups as terrorist organisations, criminalising slogans, and threatening to ban the marches altogether. What the official story leaves out: the anti-genocide Jewish voices being written out of “the Jewish community.” They have been silenced, expelled from parties, and accused of antisemitism for opposing a genocide. The same establishment that pushed Corbyn out now decides who’s allowed to speak as a Jew.
In this livestream, Yanis Varoufakis is joined by James Schneider — co-founder of Momentum and Jeremy Corbyn’s former Communications Director, currently serving as Communications Director for Progressive International — to take on what’s happening in Britain, Labour’s collapse, what’s coming across Europe, and what resistance looks like now.
