Gabor Mate ‘It’s like we’re watching Auschwitz on TikTok’
“Had there been YouTube and Instagram and TikTok around Auschwitz, this is what we would have seen, people burning alive. And it’s beyond horrendous, it’s beyond comprehension.”
In an online meeting with French activist and film producer Frank Barat on Monday, Canadian physician Gabor Mate explored the psychological complexities of witnessing atrocities in Gaza and Palestine, saying: “It’s like we’re watching Auschwitz on TikTok.”
They delve into the emotional and historical roots of violence and oppression, highlighting the trauma, guilt, and helplessness experienced by observers. Mate stresses the need to acknowledge these emotions and examines the normalisation of violence, while contemplating the future implications for Gaza and global society.
Small excerpt:
"As to your statement about you thought that it would end at some point, actually it's the other way around when people like this are empowered and encouraged and allowed and supported and perpetrating their Horrors they get more crazy, they get more cruel, they get more remorseless, more Relentless, more ruthless."
"That's what happened to the Nazis. The Nazis did not start off with gas Chambers you know but then they started killing their their mentally ill people in gas vans. Then they started shooting Jews in Eastern Europe and then they end up with the gas chambers. So it's a progression of Madness and cruelty that's almost inevitable on the part of the perpetrator and especially when it's encouraged by all the Imperial Powers."
This is not going to stop until the US stops enabling and protecting Netanyahu.
