Guest bio: Bassem Youssef is an Egyptian-American comedian & satirist, referred to as the Jon Stewart of the Arab World.
"For people who have a hard time processing words when I say them, here's the Times of Israel reporting on November 9th -- that's one month after Oct. 7th -- that "physical evidence of sexual assault was not collected from corpses." Moreover, "morgue officials have not designated individual cases as rape because of a lack of court-compliant physical proof."
Which leaves us to rely on the claims of Israeli government-furnished "witnesses" -- the same Israeli government that lied about beheaded babies; a baby killed in oven; a Hamas HQ in Al-Shifa; and other lies used to manufacture support for its genocide campaign in Gaza.
Don't be a dupe." ~ Aaron Maté. Canadian-American journalist.
We need Douglas Murray on ASAP.
Friendly reminder to not engage with a lot of these comments; a lot are straight up bots.
This is a much better discussion than the one between Adam on PBD. Lex is willing to listen and discuss without feeling insulted or being argumentative
Adam showed the world why Israel are the bad guys
Funny when he did the same with Netanyahu everyone tried to cancel him
Jesus, the bots are relentless in these comments.
I will take that any day over the religion that treats women worse than dogs.
I support Israel.@@solvingpolitics3172
How do you know which are bots?
Yes what are some examples?
There’s no bots here, they can’t take criticism. You see how he talks about Africans, and South Africans, many others have had nothing but love for them. He’s lucky I know some good Palestinians.
I hold so much respect for Lex for facilitating these discussions. These are intensely divisive issues, and i really applaud him for having people on who hold very different views. This is how we solve issues. Thorough talking to each other.
Funny how when he had a Netanyahu on everyone suddenly lost respect for Lex.
the more i know about this conflict the more i'm sure this will never end.. hate will fuel hate in perpetuity
My dear!, just like any other pain, we need to give it time!, rest!, distance with safety as well as right proper education and you will see in 25-30 years!, all these nightmares will become a old sad story where new generations can not or don’t want to associate themselves with!!
The very people warning us about the climate are still buying 30-year mortgages on the coast while the rest of us accept lower standards of living while our rights are slowly taken away in favor of corporations that own both sides
rich ppl dont think about the future, they think about the now
@@KingKBGames if that was 100% true I think the pendulum of rich and poor would swing more often..unless you mean future of other ppl perhaps.. but they need us commoners to rule over.. so they want us all gone haha
@@KingKBGames Right…
Why is the answer to the question always ignored for Oct 7
You have a good manager, glad you did the show.
never ceases to be well spoken.
When is Douglas Murray going to be back on?
When he has enough Israeli talking points to put on his act
When he finishes doing his pro-Israeli world tour.
@@TubaTones More like a pro-genocide tour.
@@rk-so8un didn’t want TH-cam to delete my comment so I just wrote Israel, but yes, 100% agree with you.
right after he removes his mouth from bibi' ass?
The title says "on October 7th attacks"....
Completely avoids any talk of it, very one sided.
Lex: what did u think about oct 7th?
Baseem: i was like "oh shit", Anyways...
Because people are sick of the Zionists wanting to start the clock on October 7th.
He’s talking about his experience and reaction to the October 7th attacks.
Use your brain.
@@TubaTones "oh shit". Very insightful
As a moron, you must continue your plight @@TheSomeone58
I have lost faith in humanity 6 months ago. The tragic reality is that the world answers to power not a so called sense of morality. Democracy is dead. Those that wield power rule the world.
Very accurate words
Bassem Yousef is an amazing guest and enjoyed the information, humour and the great knowledge he brings along to these podcasts which each one is different from others. He is my SUPERMAN🎤🏆

You can say anything you want but the difference is that you ain't going to jail like Egypt nor Saudi.
Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequence.
That is literally what freedom of speech.. to be able to say something without consequences.. you absolute bafooon😂
Not like all those who fall foul of the Nakba laws people loosing their jobs for daring to mention it.
All those on Administrative Detention in Israel.
But will loose career and get cancelled
I dont know if theres anyone better suited than Bessemer to handle this task; he;s doing an amazing job. He’s such an important profile for the Arab world right now.
They talked about Oct 7? Didn't hear it.
Right? His only comment was “oh shit”. Really? Then he mentions human shields and bombing hospitals.
He did speak on it, if you go into this interview in bad faith, you’re probably not gonna hear nor comprehend much of anything.
“October 7th, October 7th, October 7th”
How about since then and before then? How about that day and the m**de*s commited by the idf in Isnotreal?
No matter what is said about Oct 7th, no matter how unjust it was- NOTHING justifies killing 34,000 innocent ppl and STARVING 2 million. Oct 7 has become a deflection bc of this Israeli response.
@@carbonate5006 tell me the time they talked about it
Just love Bassem❤, Not only he is such a nice, decent, intelligent human!, he has an amazing sense of humour!❤❤, Happy 50th BD to him and wish him and all his loved ones and humanity in whole all the best!!
I’m new to him and he’s a very likeable guy.
Very funny issue- 7th of October.
Is this the guy from son's of anarchy?
Thanks Lex for varieties shows, Bassem provides more for other sides that needs it, and it may help us all, Human
The beginning was hilarious tho
Life first before land recovery. If Palestine wishes to get Israeli prisoners released why don't they repeat Gilad style. Just adopt soldiers for swap instead of killing and raping. Cost of fighting is too much
That's foolishness

I've had that episode constantly at the top of my home page since it came out 😅
It shows just fine for me too

It was released on a Friday, folks will get to it over the weekend or next week.
Oh please 😂

S/o Bassem
We need people who empathize with both sides. Not the ones like Bassem who finds excuses for oct 7th and definitely not Ben Shapiros who defend the bombing of Gaza. people like these cannot help in ending the conflict
Ask him who the Moors are?
Thank you
laughter is the best medicine!!!
and if i might say Peirs Morgan is a pompous ass at times
His argument is 100% legit
Legit horse sh*t
Actually US is also showing middle finger to international court of law when it comes to US citizens FYI . To be honest US is showing middle finger to tj UN when it comes to US interests
I’m proud of both these guys to sit and talk as Americans first, and other identities second.
When Bassem said that he can only talk about governments, not regular people, he only omitted that he in fact can talk about hateful regular people for whom Yehud is just a household bad word, as in his native Egypt, for example.
Yehud the arabic word for Jews. What are you on about? Have you lost your mind?
What about arabush in Israel don't play the one side card on us in here
@@aymenboussouar1880 Are you talking about some religious groups? I don’t know about them. However, the main stream is not like that. In Israel about twenty percent of the population are Israeli Arabs. From my recent personal experience, you call an ambulance, an Arab paramedics come. You call a doctor, an Arab doctor comes to your home. In fact, if you go to a hospital, looks like half of the staff on all levels are Arabs… I am not trying to say that everyone and everything is perfect, but in general people have good respectful relationship with each other.
@@MeRA-1675 settlers socia media the contest Xenophia against any different color or race then Jews and u know in Jewdism tells the Jew that every person is in lower level than u and won't join the god in afterlife
@@MeRA-1675 taking about settlers const harass against individuals even in scared days 60% of people thinks what's happening in Gaza isn't enough and the social media racist contents and hate speech and threats Israel is an apartheid Arab villages are lacking hospitals and schools
Amazing interview.
the fathers have eaten sour grapes and the children's teeth are set on edge
What Bassem says Israel thinks of palestinians, Muslims actually think of everyone else globally
Looks like you have not been spit on Israel, have you?
Well if you support what Israel is doing then why shouldn't they see you as the same?? Doing what you claim your enemy whats to do and then playing the victim like the Nazis did, imagine that!
@@user-je7fg8lu9p so i guess the opposite holds true to when looking at Muslims
@@user-je7fg8lu9p Jews get attacked globally by muslims. Jews are not Israel.
Projection.
Did Bassem sound hateful ? NO
Do you? YES
Obviously you didn’t listen to the ambulance story. Why don’t you watch some TH-cam videos of how settlers behave. That’s real hate.
Bassem condemned the resistance😒🤢
Some people have a heart❤
5 stages mmm not for covid
Alexander the Great - when he saw the breadth of his domain he wept... for there were no more worlds to conquer.
I have a problem knowing how much I enjoy this man, and yet he believes in god... two points, how does anyone with an ounce of intelligence believe in a god.... and.... if they do, why do they have problems with this death and destruction... how do they know this is not their god's plan... ...?
I don’t understand why people spend so much time looking scientific explanations for a belief. Belief comes from the heart, it’s not something you can turn on and off. Do I like the things in the world right now? No. Do I get mad at God? Yes. But thing about belief is once it’s there, it’s just there.
@@rimab5894 the heart is a blood pump, nothing more... what we are lives and can only live in one's mind... the things we believe, are in the main, are fragments of people long dead... there is no good nor bad, there are no Jews or Palestinians, it is the mind, circumstance of birth that make it so . History is one long story of death and destruction....
Little things?!!!!!!!
What propaganda? This is insane…
This is sick
I think it needs to be understood that Israeli citizens in general do not see Palestinians are lesser people , more do not but they have been kept apart … as further apart they have less understanding of each other. They are being kept apart by the extremists of both sides …
Are are arabs, Druze in Israel. But no jews in Gaza. What dies that tell you.
@@The_Mosaic no Jews in any Arab lands period
Right... Religious identity has nothing to do with it 😂
You land right in the middle of Muslims countries and complain why there are Muslims there?
When will Lex graduate from being the proverbial babe in the woods

What were you commenting lmaoo
@@piercemondesire4729 I don’t remember honestly, even a simple sentence has the chance to get deleted.
What are you saying? That this didn’t happen?
how about Egypt, do they give them freedom of movement
How about Israel withdrawing from Gaza
@@Colorista496 how about answering question with an answer
@@filipurbi because its palestinian land….why didnt jews moved to Europe.. why every single country. Expelled tyem after world war 2… why should arab pay for the crimes did by Hitler and Nazis in which Arabs dont have nothing to do?
There hundred of questions unanswered before decades before your popular question have beenborn
@@Colorista496 I agree that you can look it in the way you described. but in your example you went to 80 years ago. If we should look for answer in the past you can rewind the clock even further when land did belong to israelis. If you know for another example in balkans. where ottomans ruled for 4 centuries and balkan countries finally reclaimed their land in 19th century. You could also debate who is the rightful owner of the land. Palestine was never actual country but the region where diffrent tribes lived for thousands of years. In the end what ever the past is lands are won by treaties and wars. You cannot expect country that exists today disappear because someone think history is unjust.
I was watching TikTok videos of Black Israelis. You’re telling their ancestors occupied that land historically?
Where is the acknowledgment of the role of Hamas, PLO, Jihad… in your speech, Bassem?
No mentioning of the role of Hamas in a generation long indoctrination of Gaza. No mentioning of the role of URNWA schools of terror. For Bassem the weaker side of the conflict cannot practically do anything wrong. I find his information to be carefully filtered to say exactly this.
What about generations long indoctrination of zionism?
Obviusly you are just regurgitating IDF propaganda so, for trolls like you is the opposite. Israel can not do any wrong.
Let’s see, you people killed their families, destroyed their homes, kicked them off their land and been systematically abusing them for years. And you are surprised they hate you?
🐣Odin is associated with disguise, and that the masks on the ravens may be portraits of Odin.🦉
Funny he talks about killing...Alexander the great...Ceasar. he left out MOHAMMED
If you know history Muhammad was kicked out of his hometown, and even later when he came back he pardoned the people. Same thing as when Muslims liberated Jerusalem, no blood shed.
Islam is not a passive religion, meaning it has right to defend itself
tell me you've never read about Mohamed pbuh without telling me you never learnt about Mohamed pbuh.... He litterally united arabia that was full of crushing wars !

Remember Remember the 5th of November 1995
Funny how no one remembers that prior to Oct 7th, 2023 alone was the bloodiest year for Palestinians with the highest casualties from Israeli settler violence.
Palestinians have been blocked from diplomacy - just look at the Fatah party who laid down arms and recognised Israel and got nothing but further occupation in return.
Palestinians have been blocked from peaceful protests - look at the march of return in 2018 when they were sniped like cattle including disabled people
Palestinians have been blocked through legal means - just look at how the USA / Israel veto every single year at the UN assembly.
And people are shocked that this would lead to violent blowback?
March of return?! You don’t march into foreign country! 700 thousands of Jews expelled from Middle Eastern countries and five generation of their children are not trying to march back into Yemen, Iraq, etc.
The Settlements are in the West Bank. Gaza attacked on Oct 7.
@@spiderqueen601 both Gaza and West Bank have been militarily occupied since 1967
🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
I went into this with an open mind. But this guy is so blind and one sided. Every slant that he attempts to make against israel can also be used against the palestinians.
for real
lol... no you can't!
You just described the western media controlled by zionists.
That palestinians invaded and stole somebody elses land thousands miles away?
You just exactly described the western media bought and paid for by you know who.
The Norm McDonald joke being personified.
Free palestine people and country
I'm so glad Lex asked the question, "What would you do?" I ask that question to everyone who has a strong opinion about what the Israeli government is doing wrong. No one has a good answer.
Welcome to peak of nazionism
At the end of the day he ends up making Israel's case, because what he says is such a caricature that people think if that is what you got perhaps the israelis are the ones telling the truth.
Israel telling the truth 😂😅😅???? Gimme a break.
@MultiMediaEvan israel telling the truth yes. 40 babies were decapitated then were put in oven then they were eaten alive these are some truth israel telling
only morons would come to such a conclusion!
@@MultiMediaEvan Really, Did they lie about shooting the three hostages? It would be the easiest thing in the world to claim the other side did it.
@@cesarpolitics7576 how can they lie if THE FAMILY of those people have LEGAL RIGHTS in Israel? the mistake IDF did was to think these guys were palestinians...use the BRAIN is not that hard.
"They throw little things at you" Yes, little things. Huge regional Islamic problems are "little things"'.
You are upset Muslims aren't letting you steal their land, house, property and nation easily
Dumb question here, would there not be a cease fire if the terrorsts return the hostages?
Shhh the angry muslims are about to attack you. Dont use logic just agree Allah is god and shut up.
Absolutely not. The zionist running the show planned this year's ago and it looks like they are going all the way
Yes. Convenient that this man labels the terror attack as "something" that happened.
they are 6000 palestinian hostages in israeli prison many of whom are kids
@@ayoub8109 And Egypt is one of their jailers. Why doesn't Egypt open it's borders? Hmmmmm
Only if Christian knew what the jews think of jesus!
For a better prospective interview a German who took part in the great solution of the 1940’s and a lil hat 🎩 survivor. The empathy for Palestinian will go through the roof or the empathy for the natchzi will go through the roof. No matter what the acts are equally disgusting 🤢

"I remember an incident that happened at Al-Shifa Hospital, which was bombed, This happened in November 2023, The obstetrics department was bombed, causing many deaths, Among those killed were four pregnant women about to give birth. Doctors delivered the dead pregnant women by cesarean section and rescued the newborns,
Less than an hour later, Israeli occupation forces arrived and kidnapped the four newborns, carried them and left. The next day, the four newborns were found dead in an empty lot."

Israel has the right to exist, i say this as a turk
@eren3390 it's obvious you are not a turk when u make it a point to say it in every comment
Bassem is Egyptian I would LOVE to hear what he has to say about how heartless Egypt has been in all of this? He won’t because he has to peddle his lies.
I believe he had to leave the country for criticizing the government.
Why are the UN and the Western countries not imposing sanctions on Israel for the abuses they do in countries like Palestine, Syria, etc.?
You think israel is gonna sanction themselves?
By 2025, we will change our news and stop playing with your problems. Sorry that God demands certain strength from each one, but really, your media-human suffering is a bore and yawn and you asked us to stop being yourself for your emergency.
If you enjoy this drama maybe you enjoy to watch human suffering.

@@alitaghavi6804 Hi, not a bot really. "anyone who doesn't agree with my side is a bot, even if a person in my side is being ridiculously narcissistic". but if that makes you sleep better, go for it
Bassems humor is killing me 💀
People want to think that it's just a portion of Israelis who are hardcore anti palestinian; but a recent poll from Haaretz, an Israeli media publication, showed 85% of Israelis believed what Israeli was doing in Gaza was either appropriate or not enough.
85%; what does that say about the idea that it's just a portion of Israelis?
Yea an 85% proportion.
Killing or jailing stone throwing kids?
What about Molotov cocktail throwing kids?! Bassem is ‘misinformed’ about these cases to say it nicely.
What, if the stone gets into your windshield, while you are driving on a highway?
Still kids are being kids???
Yeah he completely understate things in order to create false narratives
And a large portion of these "kids" are aged 18 and up.
What about bomb throwing Idf terrorists?
What about people who invaded and stole their country?
Still they can play the holocaust victim cards with palestinian people, who had nothing to do with it and are still paying for wests sins?
What about people who invade and stole their country?
What about bomb throwing idf terrorists?
What about palestinian people who had nothing to do with second world war and are still paying for wests sins?
What about people who invade and stole somebodys country and call the occupied people bad apples?
To put it nicely, you are totally misinformed on this topic.
Why a guy like Baseem, talking about citizens of Israel without knowing what he talks about, I’m Israeli and 90% of the people want peace, want to live their lives. Same for Palestinians.
And didn’t mention the most important thing in this conflict that is religion, people got divided by external beliefs, that makes them extremist.
Baseem contributes to the war with his words, we let people in suits and people on media telling us we are enemies. This is the main problem.
We are individuals, we should be judge and like individuals.
So you generalise arguments to be more convincing, for more clicks and flowers.
the fathers have eaten sour grapes and the children's teeth are set on edge
You guys want peace after keeping the whole country that you have stolen😅
You are an ignorant bot
let's believe that you are...He also said the the arabs have less rights than you in israel, so second class citizens, what do you respond to that? and yes i know the sanswer but lets see what an israeli says.
Naive question maybe ' But could the people in power in ' Palestine ' have forseen that Israel would retaliate ? ......

Lex is good, but Bassam is a propaganda machine and full of shit
During a discussion of the October 7th attacks, Bassem Youssef only mentioned Hamas once or twice near the end, criticizing those who inquire about his stance on the group.
This clearly exhibits his one-sided perspective (Lex didn't mention Hamas even once which is quite telling).
When questioned about the attacks, his sole focus was on the potential consequences that could somehow affect him. His response to how he would retaliate was both cunning and spiteful, explicitly saying that Israelis do not value Palestinian lives. Lex attempted to correct him, but he defended his belief that most Israelis are of this mindset. He paints all Palestinians as peaceful individuals wishing to coexist harmoniously with Jews. However, he falsely portrays the entirety of Israeli Jews ( I don't believe he thinks the same of Israeli Muslims, Christians, Druzes, and others ) as unwavering monsters who randomly annihilate Palestinians for their amusement. He is a hypocrite disseminating numerous falsehoods, and there is a significant need for someone more knowledgeable than Lex to rebut his deceitful claims and expose his manipulative tactics.
By the way, he is quite deceitful:
1. He proclaimed that his Hollywood career was at risk, but he only embarked on this path after witnessing the escalating anti-Israel sentiment and the global surge of Muslims rallying against Israel and Jews. He was fully aware of his actions and how he could capitalize on them; indeed, he is a grifter.
2. There is his sly depiction of the United States as being devoid of free speech, subtly comparing it to Egypt. One can express whatever one likes but should not anticipate a lack of consequences. He understands this quite well. It's akin to someone using a racial slur and presuming they won't face any consequences. People are free to express their views, but society is equally free to decide whether or not to associate with them. This too, is a form of freedom.
3. His assertion of 40 beheaded babies is a clear fabrication. No Israeli officials have ever made such a claim. This is simply a manipulative tactic employed by one of Piers Morgan's guests, who distorted the original statement that 40 babies were killed, some of them beheaded.

« Ahmad Yassine, founder of Hamas, was born near Ashkelon, also pushed with his family to Gaza by Israel.

I find it deeply hurtful and offensive that Bassem brought up the forty decapitated babies story. There were decapitated and slaughtered babies and kids, there is no question about it, however, Bassem made a careful, but still mockery of it!
You ARE little Egypt, Bassem.

You believe a lie of decapitated babies which the White House and the Israeli Media themselves backtracked
"We know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians.." ~ Nelson Mandela
"The tragedy of the people of Palestine is that their country was “given” by a foreign power to another people for the creation of a new state. The result was that many hundreds of thousands of innocent people were made permanently homeless. With every new conflict their numbers increased. How much longer is the world willing to endure this spectacle of wanton cruelty?" ~ Bertrand Russell
“The actions of the Palestinian Movement in October 7 are neither a terrorist attack nor an anti-Semitic attack, but an act of armed resistance and an uprising after decades of colonization.” ~ Judith Butler, American philosopher
Judith Butler is a crank. She doesn't even know what a woman is.
So you kill the innocent? No one cares what judy has to say.
Shame on Egypt and Jordanians for not taking their people in as refugees. This could be solved over nightb

Why doesn’t Europe take in the Israelis as refugees? The people who have been living in the land for thousands of years shouldn’t be deported for you to have a bunch of Europeans and North Africans mass migrate into their lands and steal their homes. Tf?
Why should they allow israel to ethnically cleanse Palestinians AGAIN????
Palestinians have every right to live safely in their land
I agree those countries should be helping much more but once the refugees leave they won't be allowed back
Shame Poland and Germany don't take back all the Jews they persecuted and had to flee to palestine.
All of this talk of "dehumanizing Palestinians" reminds me of something my mother used to say when i was a child, "if you dont want to be treated like and animal, then dont act like one."

Maybe stop stealing Land treating Palestinians like trash poisoning water, burning down olive trees etc. etc. basically stop taking and hope of a peaceful and good life of the people. Israel is the fuel for Hamas to creat new recruits. Nazi state nazi army and nazi government
Spot on 👏
why have t e jews been expelled from their host nation on over a thousand separate occasions within the last couple of millennia?
Bassem is talking about kids throwing stones and Molotovs like they are toys. But they don't throw stones, kids are using Slings and slingshots. I saw videos on how lethal those weapons are. They are Deadly. The projectile can fly up to 370 ft/sec. I think most Military or Police would start using deadly force very quickly
OK let’s say we give you that even though the videos that are clearly online of kids in the streets not throwing rocks or slingshots being dragged around and arrested by the IDF. How about the journalist and people in wheelchairs or the aid workers? There’s no excuse for that they’re not me or anybody throwing anything and they’re not Hamas. Or the psychotic settlers constantly abusing people who’s land they stole from, old women who’ve lived there for 70 years and someone from New York can come take that women’s home? Wake up and put your bias aside, look at it logically and do actual research
More deadly than drone attacks and ARs and bombs?
what moves faster, a hell fire or a stone? these trolls are a show
So who’s deleting comments with absolutely nothing mentioning the G word or anything against terms? Wouldn’t be Lex so TH-cam now deleting historical facts about the continual “war” lol. Clowns. Ya journalists, people in wheelchairs humanitarian aid cars, do you know absolutely absurd you sound, if you’ve seen any of the videos of these taking place. And slingshots ok hahah ya so snipers shoot kids and journalists and wheel chair bound citizens nowhere no Molotov cocktails or rocks being thrown but their precise scopes just happen to just have bad vision that day. At least make a more tried and played out argument like human shields or tunnels under hospitals with still no real proof of anything taking place in said tunnels thst Israel made not Hamas. No proof whatsoever but we do have lies of Israel planting what they call evidence and it’s something completely normal in Arabic like patient lists or planting an autiobiography and calling it terrorist manuals lol common dude
before Oct 7 no mainstream media was talking about the atrocities israel was committing against Palestinian children. if Oct 7 didn't happen, most people on the planet would have no idea about the nightmare Palestinians have to endure since 1948.
@@MichaelReineke not a bot, but you, YES 🤮🤮
According to israeLIES
every accusation is a confession, every insult is a reflection, every claim is a lie.
@@MichaelReineke There is certainly a reason why these so-called Israelis have been expelled from dozens of countries around the world, the majority of which are European, to other countries.
the particularity in their last expulsion is that they were expelled from several countries to one at the same time by creating for them a scarecrow called Hitler
the persecution of the Jews is a purely European problem..
Babies were beheaded, not 40 but yes it is a fact.
