Message from Yanis Varoufakis on the 72nd Anniversary of the Nakba


“I feel ashamed that for 72 years, we have collectively failed as humanity to ensure the right of Nakba refugees: their right to return after that May of 1984, as well as to the return of their children.”
“I feel ashamed that instead new crimes are added to Nakba’s original crime, with new Palestinian refugees being created, systematically, constantly, as the powerful turn a blind eye or are involved in the new ethnic cleansing.”
“I feel ashamed that Greek governments, even the so-called Left, like the previous one, signed agreements aimed at mining and military coalitions. And with whom did they sign these agreements: serving only war and the destruction of the planet? With Mr. Netanyahu.”
English subtitles available in the video message.
