Western governments like the UK, France, Canada and Australia have finally recognised the state of Palestine – but don’t be fooled.
As Yanis Varoufakis explains, this is not a principled stand. It’s a performative gesture, a pressure valve to contain public outrage while Israel’s genocide in Gaza continues with their tacit support.
Recognition without boycott, divestment and sanctions is empty. It’s a shield for the perpetrators, not liberation for the oppressed.
Watch as Yanis exposes the hypocrisy behind these diplomatic theatrics and lays out what real solidarity looks like:
- Boycott, divestment and sanctions to end apartheid
- Support for the Global Sumud Flotilla
- Demand action, not hollow words
The Palestinian people need freedom, not symbolic statehood.
