After nearly two years of Israel’s Western-backed genocide, the peoples of the Arab and Muslim world are seething with anger, yet there are few overt signs of a popular uprising in Arab states that are ruled by pro-Washington autocrats.
As more and more Palestinian children die of starvation in Gaza, can those autocrats survive? Might we be on the cusp of a massive anti-Western uprising in West Asia?
To explore these questions, Dimitri Lascaris speaks with Vijay Prashad.
Vijay is a historian and journalist, and the executive director of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research. He is also the chief editor of LeftWord Books and the author of forty books, including The Darker Nations: A People’s History of the Third World, The Poorer Nations: A Possible History of the Global South, and the Fragility of U.S. Power, written with Noam Chomsky.
Vijay and Dimitri also discussed Israel’s growing instability and vulnerability, as well as military cooperation between Iran, China, Russia, Pakistan and North Korea.
