You guys are blind. A ceasefire only works between rational parties. There was a ceasefire on October 6 just like there was one in 2014. Hamas doesn't honour ceasefires, they use them as opportunities to regroup before beginning the cycle of violence again. You want Israel to sit on its hands while Hamas rains rockets on their cities, until Hamas delivers another Oct 7 as they promised they will. You guys are delusional hypocrites for pretending there is any justice in a ceasefire now.
@@مترجمنصوص That’s not true, as soon as Biden placed sanctions on Jewish Settlers in the West Bank last two months ago they slowed down, things get done when something is done nothing obviously gets done when we do nothing
No US president really can, and technically shouldn’t. The UN recognizes Israel as a sovereign nation. Since the PA and Hamas are labeled as terrorist organizations, how could a US president support those governments. The Palestinian people have always been recognized, but the wrongs that have been done to the people by Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Kuwait, and their own governments are why the people are suffering today.
@@DanStone-qk8re it’s always been on Israel’s side regardless after breaking international law, committing genocide, crimes against humanity, I think US because it’s never been neutral perhaps shouldn’t be able to vote to recognise Palestine has a state, deny the aide stop the genocide. ceasefire, when all the other countries vote in favour. It doesn’t act like a separate country, it’s as though Israel & US are the same country.
@@Maria-p1b2u Israel is not part of the ICC, so no international law. Humanity? Syria kills and exiles millions and the UN doesn’t actually do anything, they force others to take refugees. Lebanon has a de facto apartheid against Palestinians that the UN has declared, yet doesn’t do anything. Genocide, that’s debatable. The UN failed to press charges and cleared Israel of genocide so far. And really Syria has killed more Palestinians than Israel and the UN didn’t do anything about it. I think there’s to much emotion with this conflict. I’m not so sure I understand why, I mean I get it that it’s 35,000 dead civilians. But Ethiopia civil war that just ended is at almost 400,000 civilians and there was no demonstrations and protests and calls of genocide. That Ethiopian war had land disputes from “stolen land”, terrorist freedom fighters, genocide, forced starvation…..

Precisely. This seems to be what's missing in the conversations personally criticizing President Biden. This isn't Biden administration policy. This is US foreign policy regarding Israel that would be the same regardless of president. And if anything, it could be worse with someone else because the negotiations that are ongoing for a ceasefire and release of hostages wouldn't happen under another Trump administration. In fact he would give Israel even more resources to do what they're doing to Gaza and worse. The only viable chance for a ceasefire is with President Biden.

him running for office wont change how The US does things presidents are a shell the man in black suits take the real dcisions
Wasn’t born here 😭
I dont hear him crying about egypt building a wall to keep them in neither. But you know islam is known for its hypocrisy.
You know other Americans are too racist for that. Somehow we will vote the IDF into office, but an 'Arab'? No way. We suck.
The solution is to have a third way. Neither republic nor democrat.
Aipac wil buy that one too...
I voted for Bernie as well Sir. I appreciate your thoughts and sentiment and I thank you so much for expressing them.
Bravo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Well explained.....
🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
The journalist had a meltdown once Bassem said he wants Biden to lose 😂
Notice that he start to "blackmailing" him right after that. Hahaha classic
I met Stephen
Trump wants to deport Hamas supportes, good luck with him.
Thr British journalists doing Bidens bidding
I don't think so. He was just looking for a reaction. Stephen is a seasoned journalist and I think his wife is from the Middle East.,
Wow. Such clear articulation. I didn't even know him before but he gained my respect just with this one post.
Bravo Bassem, my sentiments exactly.
I’m very sorry to have voted for Biden. Never again, his not even human!
No. He is not human. Nuland is not human. Blinken is only 2% human. Sanders has no soul. Bobby Kennedy, Jr. is VERY nice but NO WAY IN HELL should he have revealed he is a recovering alcoholic. Who else is there? There's the resilient, respected on the international scene and loved on the domestic, FORMER President Donald J Trump. I'm giving him FOUR (4) MORE YEARS since he has suffered "the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune," Shakespeare. Hillary Clinton, her husband, Barack Obama, his wife, all the nasties standing beside Our Republic guiding Her down the path of Fascism and/or EVERYTHING antithetical to Our Constitution TOTALLY SUCK. Trump 2024. Let's get back on the road to recovery. GOD!!!🇺🇸
then will you vote for trump? Trump is just as bad. I would say dont vote.
Best vote independent. Biden and trump are both awful 😢
@@jake751unfortunately all US presidents are puppet of zionist when you see what so called that country roll the world it just a puppet of zionist i wonder who are really roll the world of cours it’s not US
It’s okay we all make mistakes
The intelligence on this man is outstanding, he's so well informed and knowledgeable, I could listen to him talking about the historybof middle east for hours...
Straight up facts 💯 Bassem ❤
He speaks the truth.
I never get bored listening to Bassem 😊
Bassems is a literal genius.
No he isn't, he's an Arab supremacist fraud
I’m definitely not voting for Biden.
I'm definitely voting for Trump so THERE!
@@Lucia-sy7lea convicted rapest
I am voting for Trump
So vote Trump.
Robert Kennedy Jr
Thank you sir!! Thank you so much !!
My favourite talk show celebrity.. well said
He has been a citizen in this country for a few years, and he's already realized things it took me, born and raised in this shithole, decades to learn for myself. Youssef is great.
If America is a shit hole then we live on planet hell
Makes sense, we’ve been indoctrinated since birth, he can look at it more objectively.
Wow you are so enlightened. Shithole you say? Then leave! Oh and I'm curious-- where exactly will you go?
i wouldn’t call it a shit hole tho 🤷♂️
this is the best country in the world
I just discovered Bassem Yousef. Immediately noticed how intelligent he is.
Bassem you are the best brother
I love this man. what happened to Palestine has changed my view of western countries and Israel forever. Their hypocrisy and cruelty are beyond evil.
You have to be 12 that it took the recent months to change your view of the west.
If only he was equally critical on both sides. If he's doesn't support Hamas, who does he support? Is he simply Anti-Israel? No, he won't say that out loud, so we're really left confused as to which utopian vision he's looking to support. Which is his preferred outcome? He won't say, because he's so ashamed of his own viewpoint that he can't simply state it directly to us.
@@SurpriseMeJThe isn't equally critical because Israel is not equal to Hamas.
In no way you can call yourself intellectual and then think a government is equal to resistance group
@@perceptivity_ Hamas is the elected government of the Gaza Strip. In no way can you call yourself intellectual when you don't know the basic history of the topic you're speaking on.
Why generalize?? EU doesn't support or finance Israel at all... there have been countless condemnations coming from European countries.
"It only took four years as a citizen to lose hope in elections" you're definitely a full American now, congrats
In UK as well people won't vote for Keir and Rishi.
Lib dems or greens?
@@KX-12345 greens i think
So long as Green doesn't supply the killing machine but even they will pledge allegiance with Israel, I'm sure.@@missallsundayx
Well said I wont vote for any of them
BBC deleted the original interview
Grrrr
yes, too bad to hear!
Of course…..they’re Zionist puppets!!!!
@@RashaSameer No that is the funniest part of this drama - They must have shit their pants while review this interview and they don't want to pay for the laundry any more. Let'em delete, let it go, At least they saved money and get budget balanced, cuz They still have another bad guy to support!
Dictator supporters are main reason for problems of the Palestinian problems selling them violence as a tool to get a state and martyrdom and 72 virgins in jinnah - some trouble takes here. Come debate us at Atheist Republic if you want better takes and better arguments -
I wish I had Bassem's brains and knowledge ... he is SO SO good !
Excellent response Bassam.
"We're the chosen people! This book we wrote says so!"
@JohnPaul-kq2yvno the f he didn’t 😂😂
Everything is Under conditions, you follow God path and commands then your amongst the chosen but even after the miracle the witness of the sea splitting to save them from pharoah, they didnt even appreciate and started worshipping a golden calf, why you think jesus had to come for the lost sheep of isreal, because they were righteous or corrupted ? To the point where they "kill" the messiah. So they lose this honor. They are the losers now. @JohnPaul-kq2yv
@JohnPaul-kq2yv no, they were the chosen people because god sent them many prophets but they were always killing their prophets and corrupting the scriptures
Now, they are not the chosen people anymore
Also Zionists: "We're secular!"
@JohnPaul-kq2yvhow they are chosen people from god they always denied his orders and killing his prophets 😂😂😂
They are chosen people to hell
Very good point brother. I hate it whenever the faith inserts itself into politics which usually leads to a lot of uneducated people to push for that party
Well spoken Bassem
“We are a secular democratic state.”
“Oh okay well how do you explain the apartheid placing Israeli Jews at the very top and the Star of David on your flag?”
“You are an anti-Semite.”
That’s the entire logic.
People don't understand that we are supporting palestinian, not supporting hamas.
It was israel and american who makes this like a binary option. Whether you chose israel or hamas. And no palestinian in between
Pallys voted for hamas. No one forced them.
I like how he backs up his opinion with real examples!
And his analysis of what is happening is always on point.
Hes planning on not voting for biden on account of his support for israel. But if trump wins hea gonna double down on israel support. If democrats dont vote on account of this they dont get to bitch when trump wins
Shout out Egypt for creating this amazing man
You mean the country that is not at war with Gaza, is Islamic, and yet shut its borders with Gaza down tight?
It’s like you’re running from zombies and your “brother” shuts the door in your face.
@@middleagebrotips3454So? Millions of Egyptians adored him and made him Egypt's most famous satirist back then and an icon of their Egyptian revolution, since when a dictator represents his people whom they didn't even vote for?!! Egyptians are the most humorous and likeable people.
@@plantodemania
He had to run from that country for his life for telling those jokes. You'd think he'd know better than defend other Islamic theocracies
He does tell some amazing lies
@@yen-chichang3071 you’re cute

Biden needs voted into an old folks home.
Feel sorry for Americans, having the choice between Biden or Trump. The political class in America should be ashamed
It dont matter all of america both sides support israel. Except the evangelical party would be more willing to let israel destroy palestine.
Please consider voting for Cornel West 2024.
No more Democrat or Republican puppets.
@@yadadameen
Yeah, how'd that work out back in 2016? Good strategy, huh? Sorry to say, but until ranked-choice voting becomes a _federal_ reform of the Electoral College, you're only ever gonna get two choices in America. So who will you allow to win: Build Back Better, or Project 2025/Agenda 47?
*Welcome to the trolley problem.*
Dr Youssef you are a treasure to all of humanity
Yes, he is. Youssef is a brilliant man.
AGREED ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yeah, He is the proud son of Alexandria, Egypt. 😊
I'm still confused as to which outcome in the conflict he supports. He's very critical of one side but not of the other and I wonder why. Personally, I listen to him with intent, looking for a stance, but he gives none. He just alludes to one by using clever verbage.
@@SurpriseMeJT perhaps his intention is to provoke and challenge us into looking deeper and then coming to our own conclusions ?
why Bassem is so smart like this 😢 SubhanaAllah
Wow ... What sharp clear points... So logical and robust
Dont vote biden, trump is gonna be more supportive of israel lol
It’s not logical at all. It’s a tantrum
It’s a self-damaging, single issue oriented thought. People who won’t vote blue will regret when their strategy enormously backfires during Trump administration.
How is it logical? Trump is even more pro-israel than Biden?
As a Palestinian American, I too voted for Bernie, but then had to vote for deranged Hillary, only to lose to Trump. As time passes you realize everyone is a joke and we’re the ones being played - it doesn’t matter who wins.
No sir it doesn't...
Just remember. Even when USA was attacked by Israel USA government still protected and supported Israel...
The Zionists are in control.
Thank God , I m not an américan This country has killed millions of People around the globe
Please consider voting for Cornel West 2024.
No more Democrat or Republican puppets.
Better not to vote. They just begging our voices then they leave it just to protect their business.
Well said bassem 👏
I too have gone from “I don’t like Biden but I want Trump to lose” to “I don’t like Trump but I want Biden to lose”… What has American politics come to???
It feels like what most democracy falls into these days. Just can't find honest rulers these days
Imagine what would happen if both Trump and Biden both died before the election?
It's hysterical you think trump would do anything for palestine differently to biden. Btw israel funding didn't stop under trump
It turned from "I want x to lose to a full-blown dilemma." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buridan%27s_ass
@@dandyjesus I would think the illustration would've been a little too generous. Instead of either hay or water, I would've drawn something else entirely in the analogy, if not a full-blown poison if you're unlucky enough
Love this guy. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Studying American civilization at university back in 2019 our teacher said "it doesn't matter which party is in power or who's the president, US policy stays the same"
Precisely. This seems to be what's missing in the conversations personally criticizing President Biden. This isn't Biden administration policy. This is US foreign policy regarding Israel that would be the same regardless of president. And if anything, it could be worse with someone else because the negotiations that are ongoing for a ceasefire and release of hostages wouldn't happen under another Trump administration. In fact he would give Israel even more resources to do what they're doing to Gaza and worse. The only viable chance for a ceasefire is with President Biden.
This is reductive. Biden's domestic policy has been way better than Trump's. It's only foreign policy that they align on.
That is demonstratably untrue. Just saying.
@@gingerlicious3500 If you're an American then sure, but for everyone else it's the same. You bomb people no matter who's in charge. Why tf you think anyone cares whether the guy who's bombing them believes in gay rights or medicare for all or not matters when you're blowing them to pieces is beyond me.
Your teacher is pretty ignorant
OMG! I really do appreciate this guy! His arguments are always crystal clear and straight to the point! He speaks with his heart and put his career at stake for the sake of Humanity. We all know that a « certain » lobby managed to cancel his role in a DC movie (Batman or whatever). He is on the good side of history that’s for sure 💪✨
Smart guy
No biden no trump
You can feel the fury, the anger all rightly pointed at the person that could stop this with one call. It is admirable that Bassem is true to himself and sticks to his conviction.
Being intoxicated with your win righteousness and promoting actively trying to increase the chances that a more unhinged president who is more pro Israel take slower is not logical.
Brilliant - just Brilliant 🙌
He is a gem. A treasure. Absolute Gold. And no matter what the public sentiment, no matter their opinion we are at the behest of the "same club" and none us are truly invited! The Roman Empire did the same. They entertained their people in the Coliseum and shafted them. Welcome to Club Democracia... Stooopid 😢
Bassem, I agree with you 💯 with EVERYTHING you just stated!! I feel exactly the same!
The outspokenness and liberty of this gentleman are amazing 👏
I feel a similar.way in the UK with the Labour party. People try and tell me that not voting or voting for the Greens will hand the Tory party the election. I don't care, I'll manage or I'll move abroad if it gets that bad. I can't vote for a party who's leader is blind to the atrocities in occupied Gaza, The West Bank and East Jerusalem.
Wow, his a genuine genius. Love him
Man with a bloody brain that makes sense. 👍👍👍👍
We all do bro!
Funny how comedians are the voice of reason nowadays. This guy, Jimmy Dore, Lee Camp.
Right! This is so true lmao.
Ricky Gervais
He was a cardiologist before, he is an intelligent guy.
I am sorry to hear you put it this way, that's why I have to say that you don't recognize the powerful clear minds and souls of true comedians. It is the most chalenging ability/competence in human's life, to make a good, truthful humor out of (hard, chalenging, often sad and pessimistic) life, the most genius writers had such a competence, and some great writers didn't, because it is rare, it is hard to achieve, it is something really precious. It's not just "a comedian", as you put it without real knowledge and insight.
As you know (or maybe not), Mr. Bassem Youssef is a doctor surgeon, not "some comedian", just like that...
I wish all Muslims were like him, but no, +70% Muslims, and I am not only talking about Palestinians, supported always Hamas, even before the 7th of October.
Secondly, Youssef is a Liberal-Secular Muslim, how many Muslims are Liberal-Secular around the world? only 5-10% out of 1,8 Billions?
If every Muslim was like Youssef, there would be NO ISIS, Al Kaida, Hamas, Hesbollah, Houthis, Boko Haram and other terrorist groups.
Brilliant

You one of the few christian americans to stand with islam. This is a religious war hamas declared it.
@@Purp4040nothing to do with religion.
@@blah329 tell american evangelicals that. And hamas did want to start a religious war with the oct 7 attack. Now they have it.
@@Purp4040 you mean Israel? Yes
@@Nournor199 was it a full scale conflict like this pre oct attack? No. If I remember there was a wall they went through. This is what hamas wanted a full scale open conflict but they cant match israel. I guess they thought saudis would come in idk. Now egypt is building a wall to keep them in. Calling oct attack a bad move politically, is an understatement now majority of west stands with israel.
When this man opens his mouth, people learn some facts.
Eloquent & smart kudos Bassem 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
American democracy in a nutshell:
One dollar One vote!
You can change party like changing diapers, but you can’t change policy!

Sir, u need to stand in election.। We want people like you sir,
👍👍👍well presented and explained. I wish people on all sides would open their minds and hearts and see the injustice done to the Palestinians.

It's time to vote for the independent y'all.. enough is enough with the duopoly parties (Democrat and Republican) these duopoli parties always spew lies, lies and more lies, so enough is enough!
