Understanding Genocide - February 16, 2024
Manage episode 402385518 series 3395979
Prince, Nancy, and Gina bring us the Understanding Genocide segment each Friday night at 10pm Eastern Time. This week's segment focuses on the importance of listening to experienced voices on Ukraine, including the work of Kristina Hook, Kennesaw State University professor and others who have significant experience and knowledge about the situation in Ukraine. The importance of understanding the backstory and the ongoing issues, such as genocide in Ukraine, is emphasized, highlighting voices like Timothy Snyder, Serhii Plokhy, and others who have been raising alarms for years.
The co-hosts call to action for individuals to engage with their congressional representatives, especially during times when Congress is out of session. The hosts share a personal account of frustration with the lack of action from political representatives and stresses the importance of public education and activism.
The conversation critiques the misuse of religious beliefs in political contexts, including the support or justification of wars and genocidal actions, and the problematic association of certain political movements with Christian values. They discuss the critical importance of recognizing and acting against genocide, not just as a matter of political will but as a legal requirement under conventions that countries, including the USA, have ratified.
The hosts' discussion on genocide in Ukraine brings to light the responsibilities of individuals and nations under international law, the impact of religion and nationalism on politics and human rights, and the importance of community and moral responsibility in addressing these issues.
