The powerhouse of North Africa and we the powerhouse in the south!. Visit us. Get to know us and see how far we have come because Palestine will follow in our footsteps.

    I have been following Bassem for many years. I understand what it is to move to another country and start your life all over. Incredibly hard, but also it is an opportunity. I am so happy for all his success. He is very smart, intelligent, kind and compassionate. I hope his success will continue. Wishing him all the BEST.

    Ya Bassem i understand that you say, you're not an expert about the Palestinian cause. Nor am I as the most of the people, but we have all common sense, and most of us have a heart in our chest. Some might only have stone where the heart should be. Otherwise you can't understand the crimes done in this conflict. Peace 🕊

    Oh , Bassam brother when I was anxiously watching Egyptians at the Taharir square I was telling myself it can be chained ever ?! Took a week off work I couldn’t abandon them on the Tahriar SQ it was paining my soul: organization, determination, responsibilities: cleaning after themselves collecting tiny pieces but the left leave me in my puzzle asking what happened to the major Goal? Please both of u have a show on it . I am Egyptian like u but not Egyptian like everyone else. I am sick of wrong and injustice to my core! When I found few like u 2 I shut the door and sit listening by cell cell of my physical body and soul tired wrong! So do not give up Allah gives u power do not abandon us. Look at the youth thirst for justice!

      Well, he is plant based. Being vegan is not a diet. It means you avoid, as far as possible, all kinds of exploitation and harm to animals. This also includes clothes, cosmetics and so on without exceptions. He said he eat fish some times, so he is more of a pescatarian. He do it for "his" health not for the well being of the animals.

    The problem with waxing rhapsodic about AI and other tech is we never get to the discussion about WHO controls it and WHY.

    Most of Bassem’s views are spot on, however one thing I disagree with, If we were truly in charge, including the maniacs that seem to be at the helm, we would have destroyed ourselves a long time ago, there is a power unlike anything we can conceive behind every appearance..the power that brought about trillions of stars,
    in this illusion we call existence things happen to make us aware of our need to pay attention and understand ourselves, not to torture and torment human beings..there will always be those who do..there will always be hope.

    Pessimism often leaves us feeling stuck or defeated. It's essential to acknowledge challenges and difficulties, but dwelling solely on the negative can hinder progress and innovation. It's about finding a balance between recognizing obstacles and seeking solutions, fostering optimism and hope along the way. What do you think would be a more constructive approach to facing challenges?
