  • Résumé

  • In a riveting session at the National Press Club, Yanis Varoufakis, the former Greek Finance Minister and noted economist, delivers a compelling discourse on the dire situation in Gaza, critiquing global and Australian responses to the conflict. Varoufakis argues that the actions in Gaza, where civilians are not just collateral but targets of deliberate starvation and violence, constitute war crimes. He draws historical parallels with apartheid and challenges Australia to lead a campaign for justice in Israel-Palestine, reminiscent of its stance against apartheid in South Africa.
    We explore how Australian foreign policy continues to mirror U.S. positions, to its detriment. Discussion points include Australia's tepid response to the humanitarian crisis, its refusal to differentiate from U.S. support for Israel, and the implications of such a stance on its global reputation. Varoufakis's critique extends to the broader media landscape, highlighting a failure in journalism that skews public perception and hampers effective policy making.
    We also explore the personal and political repercussions of speaking out against these injustices, as noted by Varoufakis and other commentators during the lecture. The narrative is expanded with insights from former Australian Foreign Affairs Minister Gareth Evans and others, advocating for an urgent and principled re-evaluation of Australia's foreign policy.
