Israel is starving Gaza. As in the Bengal Famine, it’s by design Britain starved millions in Bengal to preserve empire. Israel has revived that same logic and sharpened it into a weapon against Gaza, says Vijay Prashad.

The genocide continues. The food is not delivered. The Palestinians are dying of starvation. There is a colonial famine ongoing in Gaza, writes Vijay Prashad ⬇️

NEW EPISODE! Link in bio.
We’re joined by Vijay Prashad, a theorist & activist intellectual. As exec. director of @tricontinental.bsky.social, @vijayprashad.bsky.social is refreshingly dialectical in his thinking & writing—witness a dangerous mind in ongoing argument with itself.

Are Arab Autocrats in Danger of Being Overthrown?  w/ Vijay Prashad
YouTube video by Reason2Resist with Dimitri Lascaris Are Arab Autocrats in Danger of Being Overthrown? w/ Vijay Prashad

In our latest episode of Reason2Resist, we spoke with Vijay Prashad about the upheavals in West Asia.

Israel's Western-backed genocide has killed not only vast numbers of Palestinians.

It has also killed zionism itself.

“What is optimism? Basically…the idea that people cannot live with a curved spine forever. It may take a long time, but that curved spine is going to snap upright.” @vijayprashad.bsky.social on Red Nation podcast, 2019.

»Multipolarität? Vielleicht irgendwann in der Zukunft« Obwohl die globale Dominanz der USA bröckelt und China als Rivale auftritt, bleibt die unilaterale Weltordnung intakt, so der Historiker Vijay Prashad. Weshalb er die NATO für die gefährlichste Organisation der Welt hält, erklärt er im Interview.

»China ist keine Bedrohung für Europa, sondern für die multinationalen US-Unternehmen, in die die europäische Bourgeoisie investiert hat. Das deutsche Besitzbürgertum investiert mehr in Black Rock und an der Wall Street als in den DAX«, sagt der Historiker Vijay Prashad im Interview.

"In late June, the Israelis bombed Al Baqa café, killing thirty-four people who were just sitting there, since the café had no food to offer. Among them was a young artist named Frans Al-Salmi whose favourite line was that she was 'drawing the untold'. Now she is there."

People’s leader. The body of Comrade VS is being taken to his home turf in Kerala. Comrades and friends are not allowing the transport to move faster than a few metres at a time. They want to pay their final respect to this beloved man.

Peace and Development Are Better Than Austerity and War: The Twenty-Ninth Newsletter (2025) As military rhetoric and spending by the US and its allies continue to intensify, it is clear that the world must stand up and carve out an alternative path – one rooted in peace and development.

"Your silence leads to guns and bullets and war; your voice, if it is loud enough alongside the voices of others, might take us to peace and development, the laughter of children as they play without fear in the dusk." Poignant words from @vijayprashad.bsky.social:

This book was great. Always happy to read a book by Vijay Prashad. I'm obviously a fan of his work. If you follow along I post his monthly newsletter from the tricontinental. Also a sample from a speech of his was used for the album Slough.
