You are adopting a certain point of view, you have to at least defend it. There's no Hamas in the West Bank and they're still dying there so what's your excuse?

How do major media networks keep inviting @bassem on to their networks KNOWING that he will make their hosts look unintelligent for the world to see? Well, it’s a treat for us to watch nonetheless.

I really applaud Israel for doing one thing that no military force in the world does, it warns civilians before bombing them, I mean how fucking cute! That's so nice of them.

-Bassem Youssef is killing them with sarcasm everyone.

The understatement of the century.

[icedsodapop]

Why Bassem? Just why? Why would you go on a show where it's host has literally spouted anti vax and transphobic remarks? And who would later go on to host Donald Trump on the same podcast? Why would you want to be a useful idiot lending credibility to this Joe Rogan wannabe?

Again, this is like a rehash of the 2020 elections with Bernie Sanders going onto Joe Rogan's show 🤡

He’s not wrong. Antisemitism used to make us feel horrified when mentioning it, but nowadays hearing someone say antisemitic just makes us want to throw a boot at them and yell “Shut up!” That’s not how a term for discrimination against Jews is supposed to make us react! Pretty sure that at this point the whole Jewish community hates Israel for stealing and killing innocent Palestinians and shouted to the world that they were doing it in the names of the Jews, basically making them bigger targets for actual antisemitic groups!

Also for anyone who calls me antisemitic in the future:Put a sock in it!

The actual truth - please educate yourselves on all of this xxxx

The Vast Majority of Isralies are DUAL CITIZENSHIP HOLDERS

Illegal colonial occupation as a created nation state IS NOT THE SAME AS A COUNTRY WITH AN INDIGENOUS POPULATION

This is invasion

It always has been

The Nabka hasn't ended

Youssef’s historical sketch conforms to the prevailing narrative of our time. Namely, that the conflicts that have beset the Middle East since the end of the Second World War are the product of decisions made by white Europeans, and imposed on a world filled with passive, innocent ‘indigenous people’. This means that the rampant anti-Semitism in the Middle East is effectively cast as a Western, European creation.

As an Arab and a Muslim, I recognise this story only too well. It is one that I inherited and told myself for a very long time. That was until I could no longer ignore the dishonesty of this account of Arab and Muslim history.

After all, if this tale is close to the truth, why have pro-Hamas protesters around the world been shouting ‘Khaybar Khaybar ya yahud’ – a reference to the seventh-century murder and expulsion of Jewish tribes from the Khaybar oasis in the Arabian Peninsula – rather than something that relates to Deir Yassin? If a massacre and the formation of Israel in 1948 was the catalyst for Muslim anti-Semitism, why did Izz ad-Din al-Qassam – the cleric after whom Hamas names its rockets and murder-brigades – form the anti-Semitic Islamist group, the Black Hand, as early as the 1930s? And why was the grand mufti of Jerusalem, Amin al-Husseini, (considered by both the British and Nazi Germany to be the leader of the Arab world at the time) so keen to bring the Nazi Holocaust to the Middle East?

If you had asked me those questions when I was younger, I would have reeled off a list of grievances about Jewish refugees from Europe infringing on native Arab populations in the 1920s and 1930s. But in recent years, I changed my mind. I looked around at my home city of London, which has been utterly transformed by immigrants like me, and saw the arrogance and hypocrisy of my position.

I was casting Jewish refugees from Europe as villains, while regarding myself as a worthy victim. I was justifying the actions of those who violently rejected Jewish migration into Mandate Palestine during the Holocaust, while considering myself unquestionably entitled to refuge in the West.

This same hypocrisy runs through the ‘pro-Palestine’ demonstrations that have erupted across Europe. These protests, shot through with pro-Hamas sentiments, have made Jewish communities fear for their safety in countries that promised they would never have to again.
