I always watched him for many years now, but I never realised until he died what a brilliant mind he was. I just thought he was funny as hell, looking back he educated me a lot more than I realised.
As a Brit I really appreciate it whenever US progressives speak up about Corbyn, and I stand behind Ilhan Omar and Michael Brooks. Thanks dude, you slayed your opponent!
@@md7118 on commentating he would do his research and not just get on the mic so major props to him.

I am Palestinian with Israeli citizenship. I grew up in Israel and experienced a significant amount of racism. However, during my time in Israel, I have developed deep and genuine friendships with Israeli Jews, whom I greatly appreciate and love. I have a genuine affection for Israel, the part that I am familiar with. It is precisely because of this affection that I feel compelled to critique the racist and inhumane practices within Israel, as I hope to see it become a more enlightened and inclusive society. In the minds of nationalist Jews in the United States who have never lived in Israel and only know about it through headlines, literature, and hotel experiences, I may automatically be perceived as anti-Semitic. I feel that labeling is an emotional extraction and a fascist and cult-like attitude aimed at silencing any criticism
@@tahamohammedi5898 Recognizing common humanity and the good, even in purported enemies, should warrant no shame. I am hopeful you will grow up and be able to celebrate such a nuanced and humane post as this may allow progress to be had.
@@zarbins There's nothing nuanced or humane about getting in bed with the government and people that persecuted, brutalized, ethnic cleansed any population let alone a population of which you belong and to ultimately accept, befriend and celebrate the people and the government that did that to your people for years is the opposite of human it's the most despicable and disgusting thing a man can ever do. You know like a Jew who loves Nazis but that's different because it's the Jews who are brutalized then so how could you ever stand with that right?
I am actually glad Michael didn't use identity politics by saying "as a Jew." Great appearance on the only Israeli channel that allows criticism of the apartheid state.
It's also better when you don't say it cause then people can put their foot in their mouth when they inevitably call you an anti-Semite for speaking up for the Palestinian people Rest In Power Mr.Brooks
Michael really fucking cared about humanity and it showed. Sometimes I think God said; "I'm calling you up because you're too good for this world". R.I.P. Michael Brooks
The way Michael diffused the tension with that joke about the guy's accent before going in on his nonsense, the dude knew how to get people on his side. What a unit. RIP
Michael, I would've loved it if at 15:02 you said "you didn't interrupt me because I was telling the truth. If you lie I'm going to stop you. PERIOD." You slayed it though. Thank you! "And... she's right." 👏👏👏👏👏👏
+Michael Brooks Thank you! I'm so proud of you for having the balls to stand up for Ilhan Omar, Jeremy Corbyn, the Palestinian people and the truth! If the world had even just a few more people with half the guts you showed in this debate, then it would be a far better place!
Its nice to see Michael Brooks again on form. How much do we miss him especially at this time. My condolences to his family and colleagues. He was a loud voice in this space. RIP.
Lightbringer ... Couldn't agree more, he seems to have come more into his own comfort zone under pressure and looks more at ease. The controlled aggression really works for his style of speech, this was a pleasure to watch.
May Allah swt have mercy on him. What a great soul. I wish I could hug this brother. Never met him but I miss him. He stood up for what is right, regardless of where you were from. May he rest in peace ✌ Inshallah.
This just came up on my RUclips suggestions and god DAMN every time I see an old Michael Brooks clip I'm always reminded about how sharp he was. Why did we have to lose him? Seriously bums me out that I wasn't MORE aware of him while he was alive.
Look at Michael's handy work. Literally look at the way he works his hands and body language to really push his point across. Love it when he got real pointy with that progressive index finger of his!
Hey, I'm also a Brit and Corbyn supporter. I would love to know too. Probably from the Daily Mail. Nice to see another British lefty here! Go Michael Brooks, Ilhan Omar and Corbyn
@Ella Igwe unfortunately the media has been doing this for so long to Corbyn that its become virtually impossible to for Corbyn supporters to cut through a lot of the BS. that coupled with a lot of censorship of lefty news outlets on facebook and co opted radio pundits all following the script makes for a formidable brick wall for any other narrative to break through. the positives are that the policies are popular so we continue to fight. JVL and Jewish voice for peace have been fantastic in this fight however the mainstream has all the means and all we really have is social media.
I love how Michael defined this as the product of multiple, dinner table arguments xD. Miss him everyday! Truly inspired and still inspires global, historical and academic curiosity with his legacy
Still so bloody sad that Michael has passed, he was a beast for the left. Probably best young mind fighting for our cause. Life just isn't fair. We need someone to pick up the mantle he left.
Really miss this dude. He was honestly the perfect blend of intelligence, humility, sarcasm, empathy, articulation, and righteous disdain. In other words, I have a man crush.
Very well done, it's about time that people took your approach. Don't let them change the goal posts, don't let them obfuscate, stick to their claim and refute it. Bravo.
Re-watching this clip when it popped up in my feed was amazing. Michael was a TOP TIER intellectual when it came to clear articulation of left principles grounded in love and care for the world and its peoples. While his loss is tragic, we will carry his clarity of vision and amazing sense of humor forward in solidarity across the world. Rest in Power Brooks.
9:00 "the disgusting, grotesque display against her you just saw" I love it! This is a tutorial on dealing with disgusting, grotesque arguments like this.
You say that, but the big leagues don't tend to be favorable to people who offer robust criticisms of Israel (or even of Saudi Arabia to some extent, less so after the Khashoggi killing). We live in hope though.
That was really impressive Michael. I was on debate teams through HS and college and still judge formal debates now. You nailed the specific policy debate but you were also rhetorically very engaging. Your opponent obviously panicked and kept falling back to his fallacious attacks. He was hoping that if he acted outraged he could bully you, but even the moderator wasn’t entertaining it. I give you the win and a 98 on speaker points.
Instructive. Whenever you are debating someone, and they move the goal posts or change the subject- call them out!! Completely fair game. "And she's right!" Omar is right!
It makes me so sad seeing Michael Brooks in debates because I know he was just getting started. Rest in peace to one of the greatest political minds out there, and a truly compassionate human being.
Re-watching Michael's brilliance in this just reminds me of how much we so desperately need him... particularly now. He was the master of shutting down gaslighting and verbal trickery. God, I miss him so much.
Why doesn’t Michael debate on bigger platforms like politician or bigger networks? I have seen a few debates of his and he is one of the most articulate and convincing debaters with a strong historical understanding around
Even now, I weep for the loss to this world that Michael's passing represents. Truly one of the most intelligent individuals on RUclips and a political analyst with a gift for keeping the big picture in sight unlike any other. This is some of Michael at his finest. Did anyone catch what Michael says around 06:12? I just can't make it out...
Rest in peace Michael. I'm from Palestine, and I would never forget this and how great Michael was here.

I don't think we need to imagine anything. He would be rightly outraged.
He would’ve been disgusted at the continued mindless defense of Israel continuing to commit horrific war crimes in Gaza and the West Bank with no accountability at all from the international community.
they killed him. i’ll never believe otherwise. he was too smart, too incisive, had too much access. that’s why “the good die young”
God, what a tragedy. Michael was a great mind for humanity.
