Agenda

Ofer Cassif, the Knesset Member Opposing the Genocide, in Conversation with Yanis Varoufakis

Het Evenement

Ofer Cassif, Member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of Israel and MK with Hadash-Ta'al, is the only Israeli Jewish MK campaigning out against the genocide in Gaza. While his colleagues go along with Netanyahu’s lie that it is all about Israel’s right to defend itself, Cassif has called it what it is: Genocide practised by the last Apartheid State — and demanded it stop.

For doing so, he was suspended from the Knesset for six months. Back from his suspension this Wednesday, he is back in the Knesset – fighting for decency.

In this livestream, Ofer joins Yanis for a rare, unfiltered conversation.

Since October 2023, Israel has killed over 52,000 Palestinians — a third of them children. Famine is spreading. Aid is blocked. The government is moving to annex Gaza permanently, and Trump is calling for a U.S. “takeover” — what the UN calls “ethnic cleansing.”

As media attention fades and Western leaders remain complicit, Ofer stands nearly alone inside Israel’s political system. What does resistance look like from within the state committing these crimes? And how much longer can the world look away?

Join us live, be part of the conversation, and send in your questions!
