Wait Until You See Its Society!YouTubeIsraeli society isn’t just celebrating the genocide in Gaza—they’re actively participating in it. 📌 Chapters: 0:00 - Intro 1:00 - The German Society & Nazi Holocaust 3:05 - Israeli Society & Gaza Holocaust (Very Interesting) 8:25 - Prof Finkelstein Compares Between Israeli society and Nazi Germany. 9:50 - Israeli Society's Active Participation in Genocide. 13:05 - Poll Showing Only 1% of Israelis Think Gaza Genocide Was Too Much. 14:00 - Genocidal Society? 15:04 - The U.S. President Who Called Out Israel's holocaust In this video, we examine how Israeli society is reacting to what the International Court of Justice has ruled as a plausible genocide. From school trips to watch starving Palestinian children, to night boat tours admiring the destruction, to physically blocking humanitarian aid so more children starve—this is not just complicity; this is active participation. And that raises a dark moral question: Who is more evil—the Israeli government committing genocide, or the Israeli society enabling it? Before we wrap up, we also answer a historical question: Which American president had the courage to tell Israel it was committing a holocaust? The answer might surprise you.

The observation that whiteness is a social construct invented to justify white supremacy can be further researched in the works of Ibram X. Kendi; his major text on race is Stamped from the Beginning. (I confess, I know Kendi's arguments from podcasts and various other people citing him; Stamped from the Beginning is on my reading list but I haven't gotten to it yet. He's by no means the only person pointing out how whiteness works, but he's famous for being the best.)

amiteflipped into India History When Barbarians became Kings: The Shakas in India by Prof. Upinder SinghYouTube1st Eknath Kshirsagar Memorial Lecture When Barbarians became Kings: The Shakas in India by Prof. Upinder Singh About the Lecture The history of India has always been closely connected with developments in other parts of the world. During the period between the Maurya and Gupta empires, waves of invaders –Greeks, Scythians, Parthians and Kushanas—crossed the Hindu Kush mountains and established kingdoms in the northern parts of the subcontinent. The rule of the Indo-Scythians or Shakas in India (c. first century BCE to fourth century CE) is an important aspect of the history of ancient India. It is intriguing that the kurgan burials, gold objects, and animal art that are distinctive to the Scythian presence over the centuries in the Eurasian steppes are apparently not found in India. Or have we not looked carefully enough? The lecture focuses on the archaeological markers of the Shakas in the subcontinent against their background in the Eurasian steppes. It also discusses their important role in the evolution of Indian political thought and practice. About Prof. Upinder Singh Upinder Singh is Professor of History at Ashoka University, Sonepat. She studied in St. Stephen’s College for her BA (Honours) degree and obtained her MA and MPhil in History from the University of Delhi. She obtained her PhD degree from McGill University, Montreal.

Singh has been a recipient of the Netherlands Government Reciprocal Fellowship, Ancient India and Iran Trust/Wallace India Visiting Fellowship, Daniel Ingalls Fellowship at the Harvard-Yenching Institute, and Erasmus Mundus Fellowship at the University of Leuven.
