Genocide in Gaza: Western Moral Collapse in the Age of Hyper-Imperialism | Vijay Prashad

“This is not just an Israeli genocide - this is an Israeli, European and US genocide!”

Vijay Prashad exposes the moral decline of the global north in the age of hyper-Imperialism and its continued war against “defiance” found in the global south.

In a recent report published by Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research titled Hyper-Imperialism: A Dangerous Decadent New Stage, Prashad argues the global north has heightened its reliance upon force to insist on obedience.
