Fiery Israel-Palestine Debate with Bassem Youssef
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 июн 2024
- At 58:32 to 58:44, Bassem Youssef mistakenly stated that Robert Spencer is the founder of the "alt-right," whose followers chanted, "Jews will not replace us." What he meant to say was Richard Spencer, who is widely understood to be the founder of the "alt-right." Triggernometry apologises for not correcting this during the interview or in post-production.

@@AshPrimeDCFC How come you're unable to differentiate between a child and Hamas? Are you that thick?
Put him against the "Son of Hamas", please.
First, "the Son of Hamas" was bought by Israel and is advocating for the killing of his own People (Palestinians) 2. Yes, Hamas is bad and they committed war crimes, BUT let's not conflate them with Palestinian civilians 3. If Hamas is a terrorist group, then Israel is a terrorist group ten times more.
Why do you use the quotas. He’s literally the son of the founder🤣
@@greatmental Well, this is the story he's selling. So, this "son of Hamas" is supportining Israel in killing Palestinians, his own People, why?
@@greatmental He used the "quotations" because it's just a moniker and not his actual name. Not all quotations are ironic... unless you're Gen Z 😳
Don't run away and use "Hamas" as an excuse, there are thousands of innocent Palestinians dead from a genocide. Stop being a coward and justify the brutal occupation and illegal land theft, you cant because it is inexcusable and you are vile.
If I was the prime minister of Israel, on October 8th I would investigate where IDF was because the border is heavily guarded.
And leave Hamas be who have kidnapped over a hundred of your civilians?? Cmon stop pretending.
Shows Isreal was in on it so they can kill Palestine why did they let it happen?
Nailed it
ISRAEL IS CAPITALIZING OUT OF OCTOBER 7..
The IDF cannot be in all places at once. The attack was a coordinated assault ON THE PLACES WHERE THE IDF WAS WEAKEST (but believed they were secure).
Pro-tip for the strategically challenged, don't attack your enemy where they are the strongest. 🤦🏻
If I was prime minister of Israel, I wouldn't have bragged about sabotaging the Oslo accords on the internet, because I would NOT have sabotaged them.
What you on about . Lol
@@dominiclane8538
The sabotage of the Oslo Accords by Netanyahu, as per his own admission, was what allowed Hamas to get enough political support to win the election of 2006 by a slight plurality, because Israel back tacking on its end of the deal at Oslo destroyed all hope the Palestinians had left in the Diplomatic peace process.
Quote from Zuheir Mohsen a senior member of the Palestine Liberation Organization,
"There's no such thing as a separate Palestinian people, there's no difference between Jordanians Palestinians Syrians... the Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons. The creation of a Palestinian state is a new instrument in our ongoing war against the state of Israel and for the purpose of our Arab unity.
"Mohsen himself stated that there were "no differences between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians, and Lebanese", though Palestinian identity would be emphasised for political reasons. In a March 1977 interview with the Dutch newspaper Trouw he stated that "between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese there are no differences. We are all part of one people, the Arab nation [...] Just for political reasons we carefully underwrite our Palestinian identity. Because it is of national interest for the Arabs to advocate the existence of Palestinians to balance Zionism. Yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons", representing the Ba'athist perceptive regarding the question of Palestine"

For konstantin to claim no bias when he is part jewish.. you can also see the bias with how hard he pushes Bassem vs how he just acquiesces to Ben Shapiro and didnt even bother to play devils advocate... Just stroked him for 2 hours.
100%, it is quite frightening just how powerful the zionists have become. They control all the mainstream media. But the world can see them for what they are.
You're just saying that because of his stance on the stance on the issue. There are plenty of Jews who are on Bassems side. He can be part Jewish and still not be biased
Exactly, biased ass scum,I can't believe I thought these guys were genuine when I saw them on JRE
So? I'm not Jewish and Konstantin is absolutely correct to push this weasel. "What would you have done, if an entrenched terrorist organization, that hides behind innocent civilians, slaughtered your family?"

GTF outta here.

I don't understand how not wanting mass murder is controversial.
He jokingly said he would kill everyone and then he said he didn't know. That's a clear sign he would do the same as Israelis if not worse.

It seems that the Palestinians didn't make life so easy for others either
they were occupied for 75 years.

He is just saying that mass murder is wrong.
he's trying to dodge the real question
@@susannahpearethcan5ingno it feels like I see these comments on comments all around the Internet, someone named Susan,Robert whatever,is this some AI comment bot???
Ok Miss Obvious, we agree mass murder is wrong. Now you answer the question of how you stop Hamas from continuing to do these types of attacks without sending in the troops?
IRA did kill over 1,700 people, including roughly 1,000 members of the British security forces and 500-644 civilians. Britain did not come any where close to retaliating with 33,000 killings.
The bombing of Dresden and most death were civilians.
Israel has done almost an impossible job trying to eliminate militants who fight in residential and highly populated civilian population.
Israel has managed to kill between 1:1-4 militants per civilian, this number proves that the whole 30,000 people killed is just avoiding that at least 1\4 of them are militants. It makes any other accusation of Israel targeting civilians utterly irrelevant.
33,000 thousand deaths that even the un confirmed around 10,000 of whom are unreliable and the real number stands on around 25,000 which based on IDF ID and precise targeting around 12,000 plus hamas members have died.
33,000 killings? seriously? no date to confirm that? no info about misfires? friendly fire? militants? or basically anything that proves that any militants died? have you seen uploaded IDF footage of them killing hamas\PIJ it just proves this number is there just to delegitamize Israel without considering they either killed or imprisoned more militants per civilian in any other war in existence pretty much.
keep shoving the numbers in everyone face it doesn't make Israel any less moral
People comparing Israel vs Palestine to the North are just clueless. At no point did Irish republicans believe all Brits had no right to live. That is what Palestinians want for the Jews worldwide. And they keep saying it and proving it. They will get war like this every time they try it. And rightfully so.
@@Liormakescoffee i bet u like counter strike or cod. talking like a general in a debate israel lost. go touch sone grass, make some friends, and stop washing blood
IRA didn't rule Ireland
@@Liormakescoffee The ratio of Civilians to Militants killed is much smaller. UN had affirmed that the civil toll reported by Hamas was at least *2 inflated.
This conversation is how I imagine negotiations for peace between Israelis and Palestinians will go.
Well this a Jewish guy arguing with an Arab guy.
I don't think Hamas would send a guy who's as good of a guy as Bassem, or that Israel would send somebody with a need to do the whole con man bullshit of pretending another person really has to gain their confidence the way Konstantin is here.
I point out this is a Russian Jew in a conversation with an Arab Egyptian, and my comment was deleted twice. What's the fear?

"Bassem Youssef is an Egyptian-American comedian and television host, often dubbed 'the Jon Stewart of the Arab world". Perhaps add "and a certified cardiothoracic surgeon?"
No disrespect to Stewart, but in their 20's, Bassem was in med school, while Jon was drinking bong water in Hollywood.

You might as well be arguing with a horse.
The world is not talking about SUDAN.
Not as much as some other conflicts but there are other terrible things happening in other places that are far more obscure in media by far than even sudan
@@recordstraight556 Name one more obscure than a massacre of 15000 people in a single day??
Well, i can explain it to you. Firstly, South Sudan’s conflict is basically a civil war between the former infantry military division that has gone rogue, against the present government. Basically it’s the guys who were once part of the government system, so it’s not one ethnic group killing another, it’s politicians fighting for total control over the country. Secondly, Gaza has far more attention because IDF has already killed 203 aid workers, which is more than killed in South Sudan and Ukraine combined, and it does bring a lot of attention of the international community. Thirdly, people have more attention to conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine, because a large portion of the money that is funding these wars, comes from all over the world, and people are interested on why their money goes to fund Israel, or Ukraine. And fourth reason is the level of destruction. Ukraine and Gaza are getting heavily bombed unlike Sudan, and international health organisations are stating that 80% of Gazas infrastructure and 93% of Mariupols infrastructure are destroyed and turned into rubble. That’s why unfortunately not too many people talk about Sudan.
@@mansd5131gross oversimplification and ahistorical … there was literally the Darfur genocide where RSF Arab militias slaughtered 200k of the indigenous black populations from 2003-2005 … AND they restarted the ethnic cleansing AGAIN in Nov 2023.
@@mansd5131 Since April 2023 more than 7.4 million people in Sudan (15% population) have fled their homes. 25 million people - including 14 million children - need humanitarian assistance and support.
4 million children are displaced (a largest child displacement crisis in the world.)
19 million children are out of school.
3.5 million children already are acute malnourished, of whom 700,000 without immediate treatment are at significant risk of dying.
Tigray: 600,000 people literary wiped out between Nov 2020 - Nov 2022. Ongoing humanitarian disaster.
Yemen civil war: more than 400,000 starved / murdered, children used as soldiers / shields. Houthis alleged "pro - palestinian" propaganda actions on the Red Sea brought even more damage to civilians. 22 mln civilians need imediate humanitarian help.
How do you compare and prioritize (to this extend) the war in Gaza to other conflicts?
P.S Don't forget that Israel is the only state who's military actions are constantly supervised by UN (there is separate article / clause for Israel and only Israel)

People don't support Israel. Look at all the support for Palestine in the UN. Only 2-3 powerful countries support Israel and their support and protection is enough.
If only people stopped supporting terrorists and antisemitic propaganda angencies like UNRWA, then Palestinians wouldn't be brainwashed into believing the point of life is to kill Jews.

"If I was PM of Israel I wouldn't do the things that led up to October 7th", Bassem answered that bs question perfectly the comments are just full of trolls.
The correct answer is probably seriously negotiate for the release of hostages, but then again I would not have been elected by far right extremists so I would not be worried about keeping Bibi's supporters happy.

But Konstantin said it was ok to bomb nazi germany and japan in 1945. Konstantin fail to see who are the radicalized genocides here. Konstantin is dumb as a ROCK.
But Konstantin would have killed civilians if he were a soldier/pilot in ww2? He contradicts his own logic, so I can see why Bassem would be surprised.

To understand another human means not only to hear what he says, but to see who he is and where he comes from.
Without reacting.
Bassem's absolute refusal to let anyone off the hook for their moral indiscretions is what makes him such a special authority on this subject.
When did he condemn anything bad done by the Palestinian side? 😂 He is an Islamic apologist.. Nothing else
What on earth are you talking about. He refuses to answer question honestly. He refuses to put himself in the shoes of those women who got S Assaulted and murdered. Hamas Charter calls for the extermination of jews.
It makes him a useless advocate because he just says “I wouldn’t do that” when asked to clarify what he would do if faced with the same circumstances. Basically he’s opting out of responsibility for solving the question/problem that he pretends is so easy to solve to claim moral indignation .
@@gabzilla8316 you have to literally be dumb as shit to not listen to what he says. "I wouldn't have done the things that led up to October 7th." You and everybody, including the hosts of this debate, that think he's dodging the question is the definition of being blissfully ignorant. These attacks don't just happen in a vacuum. They aren't asking him about what his response would be after October 7th, they're asking him about some hypothetical situation where his country is attacked and civilians taken as hostage. Without any context. There is no nuance to the hypothetical, it's just a black and white question. Bassam is smart enough to refuse answering this clearly arrogant question.
@@gabzilla8316he is not a politician nor it's his job to answer,he does good by going out there and speaking the truth
This was hard to watch. As someone who genuinely wanted to hear a coherent argument from the other side. I am not swayed by any of his arguments. No hope no solution. Just blame and anger. You can’t win people over by saying they are ok with the death of children
I agree. “No hope, no to all” then blame if fits his narrative.. its people like this that theres no peace in the mid east.. cause simple question cannot be answered.. ofcors chaos is the only destination if simple question cannot b answered.. use the head for logical decision!

If you’ve no interest in knowing the truth, then do not comment!
It seems both sides are comfortable with the death of children, so long as it's the other sides children.
I deduced frome your commentary that you have no clue about the history of what cause to happen what happened there is people which are the Palestinians who got accupied by the Zionists and in this process of accupation thousands of people got killed by Israel and still till this day you can not imagine how Israel treats and deals with Palestinians like they are animals go there like i did and you will see how the Palestinians are not considered humens according to israely people just imagine yourself in the place of Palestinians the only solution is the accupation should stop and israel people should go to where their grandfathers came frome
There are places in Africa that has been at war for the longest time and everyone seems to have forgotten about it.
And that justifies the ongoing genocide how?
@@reez1728A lot of people killed in a war is not genocide.
Yes there is incredible hypocrisy in arab world and the activist camp. Its a horrible situation, but where were the people where Syrian Assad killed 600.000 in slaughter and genecide. Where were they when China made huge internment camps for muslim population ? Turkey has occupied Northern Cyprus illegally since the 1970s not a single protest. Much terrible war, slaughter and displacement in some African countries like Sudan. Not a single protest. Most Palestinians around 370.000 were kicked out of Kuwait in 1990s because PLO and the leaders supported Saddams war and occupation. No one said a word. Most Palestinians lives in great poverty in Lebanon, Syria and Jordan have very few rights after decades , no support for better living conditions or activist fight for them to get citizenship. And the list goes on. Palestinians are just useful pawns in everyone's chessboard. No one talkes about Hamas very clear goal of making Palestine an islamist nation and destruction of Israel.
WHATS HAPPENING IN PALESTAINE IS WESTERN FUNDED SETTLER COLONIALISM. WHAT HAPPENING LETS SAY IN SUDAN OR AFRICA, ITS COMPLETELY INTERNAL POWER STRUGGLE. EVEN IF FOREIGN COUNTRIES STOP SELLING WEAPONS TO THE SUDANESE. THE SUDANESE TWO GROUPS ARE GOING TO FIGHT WITH SWORDS, ARROWS, BOWS TO GET A HOLD ON THE POWER.

The problem of this interview is, like the general public, he's coming from a position of utter ignorance of the situation before October 7th.
At least he claims ignorance.
he knows very well. he is stipulating to the interviewee's position in order to get answers on different questions. having just watched the Finkelstein interview, there is nothing more frustrating then watching both sides ignore Islam when it is the actual reason for all of it.
Maybe that’s why he asks the questions? He misunderstood basically every question and got very defensive, which made it impossible to continue. He also put words in the interviews mouth constantly.
The problem is he lies. He just lies. Could be ignorance in theory, but when he does it on every single aspect of the conflict you have to assume it's intentional and agenda driven. Shame. I was hoping for more of this talk.

The same Barak offered the Palestinians 92% of the West Bank, the dismantlement of all settlements except the 3 most populous ones and Qiryat Arba next to Hebron because of it's religious significance.

@@oborotenn March 11, 1998 English translation from the LA Times: "If I was [a Palestinian] at the right age, at some stage I would have entered one of the terror organizations and have fought from there, and later certainly have tried to influence from within the political system."
You can say the last part is important for the full context, but Barak did say (English translation) that he would've "entered one of the terror organizations and have fought from there."
“If I was [a Palestinian] at the right age, at some stage I would have entered one of the terror organizations and have fought from there, and later certainly have tried to influence from within the political system" which is basically the same as what the guy above said. Nice try though

Imagine if people had made the argument "the Japanese were totally defeated how can we expect them to become peaceful while the allies are occupying them"
There never would have been peace. A defeated enemy must submit or fighting continues until someone does. Westerners have become to complacent in the safety bubble to know how to react to a real violent challenger.
The Jews forgave the Germans a long time ago, and they were subjected to some real horrors. Why can't Palis forgive like Israelis forgive them time and time again after they slaughter their civilians?
@@MEHMEISTERwhy the obfuscation? Were the Jews under occupation when they "forgave" the Germans? 🤦🏿♂️
@@MEHMEISTER it's not even about forgiveness. The Chinese will never forgive Japan for occupying them so brutally. The Chinese don't need to use violence to bring the Japanese to their knees. Palestinians could easily use all the free money to build a roaring economy and challenge Isreal but they are ideologically captured.
Tell me just how much you don’t know about Israel and the history of Zionism without telling me. Israel never took a single step towards a peaceful resolution of the mess they have created themselves, its leaders never envisioned Palestine as anything but a piece of land devoid of people that rightfully belongs to them *exclusively.* Oh, I know, let’s pretend its army didn’t routinely shoot kids as young as three in the head on suspicion of being “stones flinging terrorists” for the past five decades of their military occupation of Palestine.
@@fradiavolo9293 They were methodically exterminated, in few short years millions have been murdered. Gotta leave a bigger mark than 20 years of blockade because Palis are murderous bunch that had to be contained. Up until the intifada there wasn't even a blockade. Also Gaza wasn't under occupation since 2005. in 100 years of conflict the Pali death toll was like an average day for Jews in Camps and you try to create a comparison.

I really don't understand Konstantin's fustration. He's starts off by choosing to approach this debate from the positioning of an uninformed person but uses the classic talking points that the Israel state uses to justify the mass killing of women and children - ignorance might mean you don't have an opinion or side but it also means you are passively complicit. And when Bassem responds to these narratives, Konstantin goes on to ask him why he's responding to people who aren't in the room and than he's having a conversation with him.

Incredibly dishonest interviewers. They are hiding behind nonsensical magical questions which can be summed up like this "what if you magically became the leader of isr and had the choice to decide their next move?"
This question is leading and dishonest because it purposefully blows past all of the variables which led to oct 7 and then puts the burden on the person being asked this magical imaginary hypothetical question.
If I was asked this I would answer simply and directly. Cut off all funding to isr. Cut off all weaponry. Bring the entire weight of international law upon isr leadership and bring them up on war crimes. Then make isr fund the full rehabilitation of all areas destroyed. Fully fund modern education and fully fund access to nutrionally dense food and work opportunities. It does not matter what toll it takes on isr economy. They earned this. They should he held accountable for creating the monster which retaliated against them on Oct 7 after generations of brutal occupation and inhumane treatment.

No they were not trying to surrender. Dropping those nukes forced them to surrender.
What a frustrating start to the interview. Konstantin you are the man. You didn't get side tracked, you stuck to it. Very impressive. Thank god the two of you are doing what you're doing.
It gets much better. Around 27 or 28 minutes, Bassem apologizes for the way he reacted at the start of the interview.
From my point of view, he kept pushing the same question, even when it was put into context and he gave his answer. He kept pushing for Bassem to say “I’d kill everyone”. He said he wouldn’t have done what lead to October 7th. That’s a perfectly acceptable answer on what a person would and wouldn’t do.
October 7th didn’t happen in a vacuum. There’s an entire history that lead up to this point. So to try and dismiss him and keep pushing “What would you do?” That was frustrating. No matter how he answered, it wasn’t being accepted or it was being “accepted for the sake of argument” as that makes it in good faith all of a sudden.
The thing that’s being asked is “Would you not respond the same way? Because I know I would” not a genuine “What would you do?”. If it were genuine, his answer would’ve been taken and expanded upon, not walked back by the interviews to reposition the question.
I know Yousaf said if he was Bibi at first, then when it was clarified what would HE do specifically, the answer wasn’t accepted as if it’s a bunch of hog wash or like it’s a cop out. If there were no causes leading to the effect, it wouldn’t have happened. People don’t just go insane and attack another country all of a sudden, especially not Muslim countries, contrary to what you hear in the western mainstream media. There’s always a reason, always a cause, always a lead up to conflict. Nothing happens in a vacuum. The sooner you understand that, the sooner you can broaden your critique for both sides of this debate.
I’m not saying Bassems arguments were ironclad and rock solid, but I felt the beginning of the interview was entirely too laser focused for a gotcha moment.
Disagree. I think it was Konstantin's fault for pushing his narrative that frustrated Bassem. Bassem was clearly annoyed by Konstantin's fake neutrality.

There were engineers, electricians, medical professionals and most of the skilled labour that became part of the military wing to work inside the tunnel infrastructure.

"What would you do on Oct 8?"

Quote from Zuheir Mohsen a senior member of the Palestine Liberation Organization,
"There's no such thing as a separate Palestinian people, there's no difference between Jordanians Palestinians Syrians... the Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons. The creation of a Palestinian state is a new instrument in our ongoing war against the state of Israel and for the purpose of our Arab unity.
"Mohsen himself stated that there were "no differences between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians, and Lebanese", though Palestinian identity would be emphasised for political reasons. In a March 1977 interview with the Dutch newspaper Trouw he stated that "between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese there are no differences. We are all part of one people, the Arab nation [...] Just for political reasons we carefully underwrite our Palestinian identity. Because it is of national interest for the Arabs to advocate the existence of Palestinians to balance Zionism. Yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons", representing the Ba'athist perceptive regarding the question of Palestine"

If we assume that he had good intentions and that he was not a hypocrite. Then he just needs to be better at clarifying when he was expressing himself and when he want a respond to what other people think. If he have good intentions, than he should be ok if comments were harsh on him because he made mistakes in a very sensitive topic and he should take it as a chance to grow his communication.
But if he is hypocrite i hope he feel pain from the comments.
my thoughts exactly
The sad truth is that no matter how hard you try to hear the other side's arguments it is always gonna fuel someone's bias in either side, creating more divison. When i hear Mosab Hassan talking about how he was raised being indoctrinated by hamas on hating the jews and how he was rescued by israel, how kind they were to him, how the IDF operates always minimizing civilian casualities, it realy looks like the palestinians are the bad ones here and Isarael is justified to act in any matter they see fit. But then you hear Bassem Youssef saying how consistently IDF soldiers are misstreating palestinians in a daily basis, which makes you question if actions on their part, like october 7th are also expected and actually justified. What I think is that there are people on both sides that act with the intention of provoking the other, because they are either morally or monetarily incentivised, because the perpetuation of this conflict must benefict someone.
This is the correct perspective.
I have spent hours learning the history of Palestine and Israel. Who has some recommendations for a solution?
This man is the reason war exists. He does not listen and fails to reason in any way. His attitude is ‘it’s my way or the highway way’. Communication is the only tool to resolve conflict. All parties must participate and negotiate for peace, must listen and be prepared to change belief systems engage and unite.
It's not just this man. It's most Arabs haha, it's a cultural thing. They love playing victims to get what they want. Very manipulative
Not exactly
He doesn't have to negotiate for peace! Isn't his Moslim religion the religion of peace?!!! Just saying...
You have to read the Qowran to understand why mooselems Behave in this manner. Intolerance, hatred, violence and defence of their cult regardless is the trademark of their belief system.
How is that been working out for the innocent women and children??
The first peace treaty Israel signed was with Egypt. This could only happen because of good leadership and because those leaders, Begin and Sadat, wanted peace for their people.
Sadat was assassinated for it.
Since Egypt ruled Gaza from 1948 to 1967, shouldn't they have a moral obligation to help Gazans?
the only reason egypt is not a fully failed nation is because of the aid that the us still pays it for that peace deal
the muslim brotherhood were willing to rid itself of that aide and attack israel
the peace deal is a joke
Wasn’t one of the Iz Rail PM also as assin ated by an UO?
Point taken. Yigal Amir acted alone and Rabin wasn't branded a traitor. Sadat was assassinated by a team and others were also killed. And he was branded a traitor in the Arab world. Yet the peace agreement still stands. I'm not sure we can say that the Oslo Accords were as successful, but the peace treaty with Jordan continues to stand. No one went after the king of Jordan that I know of.
@@thewriteplaceforme6874 know why no one has tried to go after the king of jordan? see black september

@@yunus20312 No, it is not a lot.
Because the majority of the christians Palestinians became refugees abroad after the Nakba. They were more educated and wealthy. It was also easier for them to travel and have a refugee status in Europe or in America.

@@desfam6269 Okay, but we're talking about now, 2024. There is virtually no Christians there. Even mentioning them with regards to the population is just wrong.
Going by these numbers, there are 5 Christians per 10,000 people in Gaza. For comparison, the US government estimates that there are 190 Christians per 10,000 people in Israel (as a side note, there are 1,800 Muslims per 10,000 people in Israel). I'm not quite sure that 5 in 10,000 can be considered "many", but I suppose it's all relative.

jewish people want to destroy the al aksa mosque and made their 3rd temple on top of it. to start their 3rd temple building, they need to slaughter 5 red cow and used their ashes/bood to purify the tools and priest. they already bought them.
if you check, you will find, hamas call their oct 7 attack as Al Aqsa Flood.
also destroying the mosque will create in uproar in whole mulsim nation. as it is one of the holiest site in Islam.
"History didn't start on October 7" "All I'm doing is asking you a question that requires you to act as if history started on October 7" Interviewer is a dunce, sorry.
I love how Bassem outsmarts them without them noticing.
All the fallacies in the arguments were dismantled in a counter question fashion. Very interessting.
Thanks for the vid' !
"this isnt my argument, but its what the viewers want to hear"
"why won't you argue with me? Dont argue with people who arent here"
Bassem Yousef is a living legend. The man is full of laugher and joy. We need more people like that. A true icon of voice of reason.intelligent men. I could not be more proud
You right. His ability to avoid a simple question for 20 minutes is truly legendary@@MuhammadAliUK
@@user-cn3ie1vx3b Yes, simple question! It is: How would you feel if you were in the place of dirty Netanyahu, the war criminal and his dirty gang who enjoy the genocide of children and women? #Netanyahu @netanyahu is a servant of Satan and if you support him you are a psychopath. and I pray to God that He will do 1 of 2 things to you: Either He will guide you & you will be a good & honest person & abandon your Islamophobia & racism OR God will curse you in this life & hereafter make your life always miserable no matter what you do
@@MuhammadAliUK He is like a pro politician or WH correspondent, never answers a question, pushes ONLY his point of view. Never checks HISTORY, only present
I see the bots have arrived
Bassem made a great point right at the end, when asked what is the issue we are not talking about that we should be: money in politics.
And WHO PRINTS THE MONEY, DODGEY?
Yes but I ask everyone: how do we change or fix this problem? How do we get money out of politics?
It is 100% the reason he is a mouth piece for Hamas
@@brianmeen2158 It’s a slow process, but it needs to be the only deciding factor in who you vote for. Only vote for people don’t take big donations.
If that means not voting, then so be it.
The more people that do this the more possibility there is of change.
@@tonedowne People on the left are always so obsessed with money in politics.
Whenever someone hears someone on the right say something they don't like they immediately assume he has bought and paid for, the ONLY reason they could not agree with left wing policies is they are bought paid for by Big Pharma, big donors etc.
It doesn't matter what you do, you will be "bought and paid for" by someone:
Politicians have to convince people to vote for them. They have to travel, need food, water and lodging. That takes money. They gotta get it from somewhere.
People have to help the politician, those people have to support themselves or their family. Can't just do it for free cause even if your politician wins you don't get a job in the government the politician does.
Even worse if your politician loses.
Where do they go to spread the message? Can't go on big news networks, there bought and paid for.
Can't even go on independent RUclips channels, there bought and paid for by there audience. Ever hear of audience capture?
According to the far left the only way to be completely independent of any kind of money or donors is be homeless, don't eat, sleep on the streets and talk to each person one by one by walking.
Wow! It never ceases to amaze me how easily these people can lie! They lie about everything!
Lie is the only thing they got, just look at how much the lie about 40 beheaded babies served them. It's always, lie first and then if you get caught say, we are investigating, still if pressure rises, say it was an honest mistake.
Wars seem to set standards for “acceptable” amount of human casualties. How can you justify using Germany WWII casualties when the number of people in Germany vs Gaza are even close to proportionate
KK knows silence is golden with this man.
💯@@thetruth9210
Silence when you have no good arguments to justfy war crimes, seems understandable.
@@fallasleep9472Pretty sure engaging in hypotheticals of “what would you do if the roles were reversed “ is not justifying war crimes lol
@@sjappiyah4071 easy to say when you don't need to be worried about getting bombed or being kicked out of your land.
He is simply unable to answer a simple question. I‘m shocked
He lacks the mental faculties
Bassem is right in his approach here. You do not address dumb questions seriously. The question he was asked was a common Israel progapanda talking point, the "what could have they possibly done different as a response" in a way legitimizes what Israel has been doing by implying they could not do anything else.
He is answering ... racist people are unable to understand
@@localidiot5136 Mental capacity??? You do realize he’s a heart surgeon, right?
@@luvitluvitbaby That doesn't mean he's necessarily capable of high level political debate, though. He's not a professor of international relations is he?
19:00 "You would have the civility to not kill civilians?" that was a very telling remark to have made...
question to bassam - why was it ok for muslims to demolish israel's second temple and build a mosque on top of the second temple, but it's not ok for present day israel to demolish the mosque and build its third temple?
No Muslims could have possibly destroyed the Second Temple, for it was destroyed in 70 AD by the Roman Empire under the command of future emperor Titus Flavius Vespasianus, son of Titus Flavius Vespasianus (yes, his dad had the same name), who besieged Jerusalem with Rome's 5th, 7th and 15th legions. This happened 500 years before the birth of Muhammad, and some 552 years before the traditional date of the founding of Islam.

@@waltroskoh8650 thx for your reply. my point is that nothing in history stays the same. today there is a muslim golden dome on top of a jewish synagogue which are the ruins of the 2nd temple. radical islam has a history of destroying existing sanctuaries and placing their domes on top of them. bassam is concerned about the mosque becoming the rubble upon which the 3rd temple might be built. it will probably happen. and in another 1000 years, the 3rd temple will probably have a new dome put onto it....this is a reality and a cycle.....
@@chromechrome-kq3nu And part of that cycle is people worrying about it, defending it, killing and dying for it. Yep that's us humans!
@@waltroskoh8650 thx walt. if only more people in the world would just communicate calmly and politely - as we are - instead of picking up arms and just causing unneccessary death and destruction. best wishes to you walt.
He needs a lesson on Irish history…….2 million starved 2 million emigrated and 2 million displaced in Ireland, I’m not diminishing what is happening in Gaza. I’m Irish and Iv lived all over the uk and never received anything but love…… anything is possible I pray for a ceasefire ❤
He said in the last 75 years. Listen properly
English here
Very good we have peace now.
I love my Irish friends ❤️
To be fair it still doesn't compare with the relentless tormenting the Palestinians have to endure for decades. Not playing down the Irish suffering of course.
How many decades did that take?
He is not being extreme and not ruling out peace. Israeli policies in the West Bank are abominable. Hamas is a terror group but it was apparently tolerated earlier. The Israeli state was terribly misfocused for October 7 to have happened.
Bassem sees the world through the lens of power and it tells me everything I need to know.
All thanks to Mohammed.
@@visionlandmusicthat’s not the lens he’s referring to. He’s referring to critical theory.
It's common sense - not critical theory. If you have two sides in conflict - and one has vastly more wealth/military hardware etc Then whats in it for Israel to be having to make meaningful compromises with an enemy for the sake of peace?? If you watch documentary "The Gatekeepers" (2012) the current and past leaders of Shin Bet (Israeli security services) said the same thing. "We have all the military means and tactics to keep Palestinians where we want to - but there is no appetite in Israeli leaders to ever look for political solutions to this conflict, we need political solutions". This isnt Western liberals talking, it's not Islamists, or Critical Theory academics... far from it, these are leader of Shin Bet themselves recognising the truth of the situation.
@@WH-hi5ew That's not common sense at all. Like free trade, peace is not a zero sum game. Even the stronger party will have a lot to gain from a prosperous neighbor rather than an enemy on it's border. But one can't even start to think in this direction it he sees the Palestinians as nothing but an eternal victim rather than actual humans with individual agency.
@@sagirechter3885 well... they make at least 7 billion dollar from selling arms, which gets a boost every time there's a conflict, yes in the ideal world your view is correct, but it seems like you don't know either party and their strategies and reality at all
am i the only one who thinks middle easterns think they are the center of the world? is it because we've always drawn their sad land in the middle of most maps?
Which came first --- the rocket attack or the response????
This is a joke, imagine saying one side should show restraint but the other shouldn’t. Wow
How are the people of Gaza and the West Bank an existential threat to Israel militarily?
@@danporath536 So because they don’t pose an impending existential threat they’re allowed to target civilians all they want?
@@danporath536 wtf are YOU talking about over 20 THOUSAND rocket attacks. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_rocket_attacks_on_Israel they've been launching rockets into Israel not caring who it hits even their own. Why do you think no one wants to give them asylum no one wants to talk about Jordan or Syria or Iran lol.
I don't think they are. They make their own lives worse than the Israelis, but the Israelis don't need to suffer either @@danporath536
@@danporath536did you just fall from the sky
Talking to Bassem is like talking to a recorded message.
CRY ABOUT IT J LOVERS
and still you can't learn nothing from it!
He owned this conversation
@@tokebak4291are you an Islamic Zionist owning land in a foreign country while Muslim?
oh he doesn't speak to your view , he is telling you what you chose to ignore.
The only way this confict gets resolved is with years and years of kindness by Israel and the west to Palestine. You cannot kill an ideology.
