E57: He Was Banned for Exposing Gaza Truths — Now He Speaks Out. With Yanis Varoufakis
Israel’s genocide in Gaza grinds on, while Israeli officials now signal they are “fully ready” to strike Iran—raising the risk of a regional firestorm. But within the EU, dissent is being crushed. In an unprecedented case, the EU has sanctioned one of its own citizens for being a journalist. http://red.media founder Hüseyin Doğru was targeted on behalf of Germany—for exposing Germany’s complicity in the genocide in Palestine. No trial. No hearing. An extrajudicial punishment. The EU claims he “systematically spread false information on politically controversial subjects with the intent of creating ethnic, political and religious discord amongst a predominantly German audience.” In reality, his reporting focused on social protests across Germany and Europe—something that now appears to go too far for the so-called democratic powers in Berlin and Brussels. The listing followed http://red.media’s exclusive coverage of Germany’s brutal crackdown on pro-Palestinian students—and it forced the outlet to shut down. What does it mean when reporting on Gaza is reframed as extremism, and journalism itself becomes a sanctionable offense? Hüseyin Doğru joins Yanis Varoufakis to dissect Europe’s widening assault on free speech, Germany’s criminalisation of Palestine solidarity, and how ordinary citizens can push back—before they too are silenced. Hosted by Mehran Khalili. Tune in live, bring your questions, and share widely—while you still can.

E56: What’s Really Happening in Palestine — with Mohammed El-Kurd & Yanis Varoufakis
Israel is escalating its genocide in Gaza. Entire families are being wiped out, famine is spreading, and airstrikes are targeting shelters and schools. In the West Bank, killings and settler violence are surging as Israel tightens its grip on the territory. Yet despite these atrocities, international media coverage has diminished. While a handful of European governments have begun to question their complicity, meaningful action is still missing. In this livestream, Palestinian writer and organiser Mohammed El-Kurd joins Yanis Varoufakis to cut through the noise: What’s really happening on the ground? Why has the West been so slow, or unwilling, to act? And what can we, as citizens, do about it? Hosted by Mehran Khalili.

E55: Yanis Varoufakis in Conversation with Jeffrey Sachs on the Six Global Crises Confronting Humanity
Jeffrey Sachs and Yanis Varoufakis worked together a decade ago to prevent Europe from harming itself by crushing Greece. They failed. Since then, Europe’s self-harming policies exacerbated by a lethal dependence on, and servility to, the US have had nasty repercussions for Ukraine, Palestine as well as Europe’s relations with China. Now that Trump is back, with Europe’s Green Deal already abandoned, the world is facing the perfect storm: intense trade (and thus class) wars, a mounting Cold War with China, an ultra-hot war in Ukraine, a heart-wrenching genocide in Palestine, and an accelerating climate emergency. In this episode, Jeffrey Sachs and Yanis Varoufakis get back together again to reminisce, to take stock of a world spinning out of control and, crucially, to propose tangible solutions that we must campaign for today.

E54: Le Pen Ban: Stopping the Far Right — or Fueling It? With Yanis Varoufakis, Glenn Greenwald & David Broder
Marine Le Pen, leader of France’s far right and a top contender for the presidency, has just been banned from running after a corruption conviction. Is this a legitimate ruling — or lawfare: the weaponisation of the legal system to block political opponents? Join Yanis Varoufakis, award-winning journalist Glenn Greenwald, and Jacobin’s Europe editor David Broder for a live discussion hosted by Mehran Khalili. We’ll break down the Le Pen ruling, look at how courts are used to sideline opposition figures in Europe and beyond, and ask: Does barring candidates actually strengthen the far right? Is lawfare becoming the establishment’s go-to tool to silence dissent? And if we don’t challenge it now, what comes next?

Yanis Varoufakis recently called Europe’s rearmament a catastrophe in the making — and laid out a bold peace plan for Ukraine.
