I really hope Nujeen saw that skit! I hear she’s turned into an amazing activist
Omg really?? That's so amazing I'm so happy to hear she is thriving!
Let’s be honest she is be on disability for the rest of her life.
She did, search for NYT "Young Refugee Who Fled Syria in Wheelchair Thanks ‘Days of Our Lives’ Stars Who Reunited for Her"
She saw it. :)
She did! It’s on the BBC
crazy to think that 3 years after this aired Nujeen became UN refugee and disability rights activist ❤❤❤
Didn't know that!
That's wonderful!
Phony is phony is phony is phony.
That ending is so sweet and a great example of why I haven't lost all faith in humanity. No matter how terrible some of us are, there are others that are that much greater.
I wish Nujeen a life of peace and happiness
The "New iphone" being a 6S is definitely a nice time capsule
It's still the most recent good iPhone.
What is it about people always feeling the need to comment on aged videos this way? Annoying, to me
@@Onigirli Then don't read the comment
@@Onigirli being skeptical and annoyed by something so banal is equally as pointless
Nujeen’s book The Girl From Aleppo is inspiring! Worth the read.
Thank you for the recommendation!!
I'm Hungarian and even after near 10 years I still feel ashamed for our government.
I happened to find this video the day after the EU fined Hungary for €200 million+ for its laws regarding how migrants have been treated.
Nice!
Good...
The guy that had to way until February of 2020 probably didn’t get the appointment due to Covid
Exactly what I was thinking
They still had to wait 3 years starting in 2017 before Covid was a thing though.
Lol
No, most of the COVID stuff started in March.
Do you believe everyone has a right to come to Europe and America?
My favourite part about the Pope is the Popemobile, a bulletproof glass cube on wheels
I remember when the pope was shot. My Baptist, anti-papist grandmother was shocked and offended. Apparently he was both the antichrist AND a man of god.
I got a Volkswagen ad right after the promotional video, great timing TH-cam
I can't be the only person to tear up for what John and his team did for Najine
Even if people can’t or don’t work….they are still human beings worthy of living. Defining someone being able to have safety by if they can work or not and how hard is just so gross.
People don’t have to prove they deserve basic respect, dignity, and human rights. They deserve them because they exist.
What could possibly matter more than actual living, breathing, thinking, feeling human beings?
Was that Cameron thing what inspired the first episode of black mirror?
Yep 😂
actually, no. somehow; SOMEHOW; it came after.
and that may be the funniest thing ever
yeah logan is right in the bizzarrest coincidence ever, the first season of black mirror actually predates that scandal happening. Their writes are prophetic
@@Logan-tz1ry No way!! I always heard it was why they included it. The more you know!
@@lavenderwalrus9875That’s… a disturbing idea, Black Mirror being prophetic.
I hope there is a Nujeen reaction video to this sketch out there somewhere...
It struck me that, while I watch a lot of comedy news programs, Last Week Tonight is the one that most often makes me tear up.
I wonder how Najine is doing. I hope she's ok.
apparently quite well, shes currently an activist and even has a book
One important note that I don’t see get mentioned enough is that only four out of the 28 EU member states (at that time) took in 2/3 of ALL refugees - Germany, Sweden, France and Italy - that has led to clear consequences for all of them. While the consequences are relatively minimal (to my knowledge) in Germany, Italy and France, with the exception of the increasing support of the far-right. Bad yes, but not as bad as Sweden has gotten in the last decade.
To make it clear I’m NOT blaming the immigrants for this but the rest of the EU for not being more willing to help out. We took in a ridiculous amount of refugees in proportion to, for example, the UK or Spain. [Sweden: 142,000, UK: 117,000 and Spain: 14,800] This resulted in an overwhelming amount of immigrants in Sweden that our system could not handle, nor did we have jobs or housing for all of them. So, most immigrants fell between the chairs and ended up outcast in the outskirts of the major cities, this caused a division between the refugees and Swedes that has effectively made Sweden into two countries. Not to mention our lax migration laws that made it honestly far to easy to get into the country as those laws where made in a time when Sweden needed migrant workers due to labour shortage but they end up being misused in the 2010s as they made it far to easy for the bad apple to filter into the country and as you know we basically have a gang war on the streets in Sweden were primarily immigrants are both the victims and perpetrators, as the gangs recruit (pray on) vulnerable people, and who isn’t more vulnerable than the people forgotten by the system, in an unfamiliar land, and your desperate to get a better life
"we took many many refugees that did not integrate into society becoming nearly a nation within a nation, we started having gang wars, violence, sex crime skyrocketed"
"I blame our willingness and ease of taking in refugees and the fact others did not have it and didn't follow our foolish example"
Cool. My country took in record number of Ukrainian refugees and barely any middleeastern/african ones. We did not have spike of sex crimes or gang wars. I won't be lectured by a swede who f**ked up their own country telling me how we should mess up ours.
Right wing is on the rise because it was absolutely right (on basically only this issue). We can't simply ignore reality and sing along pretending that going with bleeding hearts is always right. Bringing in massive wave of people from completely different culture, without proper screening, filtering ends exactly as Sweden has ended up.
And those countries that did proper screening, didn't take too much are the ones you now blame. No, they did the proper thing, you messed up. There was no safe way to take in this many such different people all at once.
But millionaire living in 10mln penthouse in usa will never face the results.
"you are either with us or against us" is lefts answer to many complex topics it has very radical stance on. And people see consequences. So if they are not fully with the left... they must be against it. So they say "ok". And now we have far rights goveremnts popping up.
You could fit 1.85 UKs in the area of Sweden, so if you want to judge relative to size you 'should' have taken 216,000. It gets worse if you factor in population as the UK population was already six times higher than yours at the time of recording... we did our fair share.
Do me a favor and look how many immigrants come to spain EACH year, not to mention that we also have to take care of the tourist idiots. At least the immigrants are decent people that come to find a better life.
I have a theory that usually the bigger the country is, the weirder it is. Today's example is Germany - their cars will scam you and not feel bad about it, but they'll also give people fleeing awful circumstances a new homeland without kicking them while they're running. Also, Nujeen seems like a pretty great person and I hope that she has found a good home!
She is in school in Germany. 🇩🇪 She is an activist for disability and refugee rights and has co-written two books! ❤
This is the weirdest mixtape drop I’ve ever seen
was this before or after Black Mirror? 😂😂
Shockingly, it actually came after Black Mirror
@@VanessaAbeyawardena The scandal came after. The event the scandal was about came before Black Mirror.
Hilariously enough it was after. Kinda makes you wonder if the writers knew something we didn’t.
@@TheRealSkeletor
-insert joke involving the word ‘came’ here:-
This episode is one of the best I've seen, perfectly written and narrated!
Does anybody know how Nujeen is doing now? She was such a sweet kid, I truly hope she’s doing well as an adult
According to Wikipedia she has given a brief to the UN security council, written 2 books and won an award for her activism!
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nujeen_Mustafa
@@AJ-jk3bofuck yeah!
One of the few activists everyone can like! Happy for her
This is why I love John Oliver. He dedicated so much time of his show to this one, brave young woman. John Oliver is an amazing human!
If it's any comfort, JKM (the Polish MP) is kind of seen as our RFK Junior. I don't think he holds any political power anymore, just as part of the Confederacy (political party that is exactly what it sounds like)
Hello Saddy Longlegs (Love from California)
wow 2015 latest iPhone is iPhone 6... Feels like a long time ago
Thanks to all of you in the comments updating us on Nujeen! Disability and refugee right activist and an author? John was right when he said she would be an asset in any country.
Well thanks for mentioning Belgium 🇧🇪😂
How is Belgium I heard its terrible because of the migrants
@@Maja-re4mq well actually it’s pretty ok, but we do have areas in Belgium that you could call hellholes because of the migrants 😅
@@Maja-re4mq try living in Belgium, the public administration will make you regret being alive before you can even start worrying about migrants
During the Days of Our Lives bit, you forgot about migrants traveling through active minefields in Croatia
John Oliver is amazing. Couldn't believe I didn't know about him and this channel earlier. Thank you to John and the production crew for amazing content.
All I thought when they dod the skit of the guy coming back to life is "are you for real?" "Im for real real"
10:33 Right, so not a car for everyone I assume.
Still rocking an iPhone 6S to this day. The battery….is bad. And as of last week it no longer supports my banking aps. But you know what? For a 10 year old phone, I feel pretty #blessed that it still works at all.
I always say, it's a bit rich that we in Europe spent centuries colonizing places in Africa, Asia and South America, imposing upon them that we're the BEST and our countries are so much better than theirs (whilst pillaging their ressources) and now we're getting pissy that they believed us and are coming here to hopefully improve their life
Hahaha; I’m watching this June 27th -the day Sunday’s installment posted on TH-cam. Guess what was referenced in the 23rd’s episode?
I made it this far into the playlist before I realized it was ordered with the last episode first.
What if those chanting were "Christians". Are not they fanatics too. I may have forgotten a color right before.
Christians don't scream/sing about allah......
@@Arldavis You do know that "Allah" and "God" are the same, right? I don't mean that in a 'philosophical exercise' sense, I mean that as in "They're both a part of Marvel Universe and in fact they're the same character in all the comics."
Jesus Christ is literally one of the most frequently mentioned prophets in *the Quran*, where he is refered to as Jesus, son of Mary, and the literal Messiah. That's right, the Quran writes more about the prophet Jesus than the prophet Muhammad. Obviously Islam is and Christianity are different, but... they overlap a lot more than you'd think.
If you feel bad that you are ___ years old learning about this for the first time, I felt bad too. But now you know :)
Volkswagen did the same thing in 1974 too
hey I wonder if that guy got his appointment
I honestly don't think anyone hates the UK or England more than John Oliver 💀
The Actor: "This is NOT the craziest script I've had. It's not even in the top ten."
Yes, it’s cliche but honestly:
‘This did not age well’
But nothing. Just please, try to restrain yourself. Acknowledging it then doing it anyway is bad
@@Onigirli Is it ‘non sequitur day’?
Jeez, this was 9 years ago? I was in Philly to see the pope when I was ten, and now I'm going on 20. terrifying.
(also Nujeen is incredible but we're all saying that already)
29:00 I’m Sure that I saw White Wings 🪽✨fluttering from behind you Mr.Oliver ✨🙏🏼☂️🤲🏽✨Mashalla 🎶🌅
Of course you have fanatic in your nickname ..
Dang, 😢 this was beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This aged terribly
Exactly what I was thinking
I would love to see what he would say about this video now that we know how it turned out
22:00 This is the real issue. The politicians and their paymasters don't want to raise living standards in communities.
This is my favorite episode of black mirror
Note how he says "My thanks to EJ and Sammy" instead of the actors' names, implying the characters actually exist IRL and that John hired witch doctors to raise one from the dead just for this segment.
Not the craziest thing HBO would have bankrolled…
My timeline tho.
Please, since you're so awesome and well learned - take them in!!!!
What's your problem dude?
Great ending to this video!
Man, this vid takes me back to the days where I drank the right-wing Kool-aid when it came to Syrian refugees and Mexican migrants. I'm glad I want them to be able to live where they want now, but I'm still saddened that the idea they're dangerous is something that is still so common as a belief.
My restraint for the next week is dedicated to and motivated by James Woods
Last week tonight should give us an update on Nujeen mustafa sorry for spelling her name incorrectly
9:04 I wonder what Germans thought of John's pronunciation
I mean, the pronunciation was fine. None of those were technically real words, so I can't judge.
My favorite part of the entire episode is his entire pronunciation... body language included.
@@llblackbirdll It's fun that the way the German language works, they easily could be real words.
At least you didn’t call our capital a hellhole or a country on its own 😂😂😂😂
Hello Daddy
?
Why does it feel like people are shooing away blessings they are getting to prosper and thrive by maintaining healthy civilization, thanks for the enlightenment mate, 420 friendly out.
"Stay around don't play around
This old town and all
Seems like I got to travel on
A lot of people won't get no supper tonight
A lot of people won't get no justice tonight
The battle is gettin' hotter
In this iration
Armagideon time
A lot of people runnin' and a hiding tonight
A lot of people won't get no justice tonight
Remember to kick it over
No one will guide you
Armagideon time"
*Joe Strummer*
16:00 Unfortunately, still mostly same in 2024. Many politicians are fighting migration instead of trying to approach the issue with humility and understanding to those fleeing their homes. 🧡💛🧡
It won’t be any different until the end of humanity.
Politicians read polls that say people are against immigration; unfortunately the only people dumb enough to answer polls are racist repugnicans
hahhahaha I still have a 6S....
funny how people just seem to love the Pope in America despite half of them being Protestant...
20:19 Or Fox News. Or Newsmax. Plenty of organizations would love to have someone like her. But they all belong to the same corporation: Actual Monsters Inc.
Uhhh sorry. Thank you!!
I missed out on it the first time, but I got one for ya.

16:45 no! don't make them wait til 2020, they'll have a whole new set of problems if they even make it that long!
hahahahaa VW Epic :P
I saw him be confused at the reality show going on. He isn't an actor, he doesn't do improv, and that was not a debate. He forgot to remind himself that he was the POTUS. He was a man of a certain generation that didn't know how to react to what was going on. A "senior" moment. Not senility, but disbelief... standing next to a man that had no substance, and moderators with no desire to restore order. I see those kinds of gaffs all the time in people starting in their late 50's. He believes that he can defeat Trump, let's see if he can.
One doesn't need to yell when speaking German.
Cool
Police officer in Germany stabbed in the neck by an immigrant
Polish soldier guard at Belarus border just died from being stabbed on the lung. He was only 21 years old. Theimmigrantt used a spear, went right between the bars of the fence border
84.6 million people in Germany.
Over 40 million in Poland. You found two examples of bad situations. *slow clap
@Tonyhouse1168 That is what happened in the past two weeks. Check the statistics. 70 percent of rape in France is done by imigrants. 140 terrorists attacks in Sweden. People in Germany lock themselves after 5pm in winter when in gets dark. They are afraid to come out outside. People in Sweeden are afraid to come out, some Polish people are moving back to Sweeden to Poland it is impossible to live there. No go Zones in those countries, the mailman is afraid to go in there. They want sharia law, its 21 century. no beheading or stoning to the death should be done today in European countries. England has the same problem, 50 percent of them support hamas. Check it out yourself

Fox news had plenty of time before this (they still dont even after all these years) to figure out what the Takbir is and how its broadly used as much as Christians use their chants, hymns, or the cross... nuance doesnt matter to Fox and its viewers...

So you DO think that hummus is an Israeli invention? Good to know.

This one didnt age well with all the immigration issues going on right now in Europe
Why can't Americans be like the great land of Germany. Welcoming people we are all people.
You really want to compare the number (or percent) of people who came to the US as immigrants over the last 100 years vs the number of people who came to Germany the last 100 years? Immigration is literally our story. Your people clapping for the immigrants absolutely wonderful. But don't pretend that xenophobia and extreme nationalism is unique to *any* country. Race issues appear in Le Monde, in La Vanguardia, monthly... Quran burning in Sweden... no country is without these people. I seem to remember something about the German government needing to bust up a neo-youknowwhat group a year ago. That wasn't a good look!
But yeah, to your point, Germany and Sweden were probably the most welcoming among EU countries, so, congrats on that kindness you all showed.
Currently a jew driving a VW 😂
First
Didn't age well
Unfortunately, we messed up the integration of the migrants post-war so much, that even the newer generation feels like migrants (well, a part of it, sadly the most noticeable part).
Integration is key but it takes time and money, and quotas are needed to do it properly (language lessons, civic lessons, housing, schools, etc).
You can't just welcome people and let it be, or you end up like Sweden.
What about Sweden...? It's great...
I commend countries that protect their citizens and culture from the invasion of foreigners not following said countries immigration laws. Stay strong against the liberal critics that want to erode your country.
You're a delusional weirdo
None are discussing the reason for these immigrations? It's USA and NATO, so, why don't' USA take them in, instead of making fun of UE countries?
The US didn’t cause these migrants. The dictator killing his own people caused it. The Syrian civil war began 3 years before the US ever got involved and the US only got involved to stop war crimes (although they justified it by claiming they were stopping ISIS). Not to mention the migrants in 2015 were fleeing from more than just Syria. You had a lot of Libyans, Iraqis, and Eritreans in addition to other displaced people that were rejected by EU countries.
The funniest part about all of this is that the EU response is more xenophobic and racist than the US response to migrants and yet the US is the one that EU countries constantly called racist. I don’t know how many EU friends would tell me that the race problems in the US would just never happen in their countries. 2015 showed us that they are just as flawed as all other humans. The US is not any worse in that regard than the EU countries. I would honestly argue the US is more accepting since we deal with those issues on a regular basis.
Soldier at the Belarus border in Poland was just stabbed in the lung, he is fighting for his life. Every day since 2021 military in Poland are being constantly attacked, they throw rocks and bricks at the military and the police.
It is much harder to get from Syria to America that it is an EU country. I feel like that’s common sense. They are fleeing to countries they can physically find a way to get into. Hard to do that across an ocean.
We can do both
Why do we have to accept mass immigration of people with different beliefs? Does protecting my beliefs not matter?
Diversity of thought is just conflict .
Take them in your house.
Because if you were in their situation, you would want the same thing, for someone to be empathetic to your suffering and help you. Your beliefs are not being threatened in any way by helping people in need, unless your beliefs are solely based around torture and hatred being the key to immortality. If diversity of thought is "just conflict" then America should've been in a constant state of civil war since it's inception. How is it even possible for you to think that simply having people with different beliefs around each other causes conflict? Have you never made a friend before in your life? Also, the immigrants don't exclusively have to live with native citizens in their own homes, you do realize that, right? There are shelters, camps and temporary housing that most will live in. No one was ever said in all of history that any citizen HAS to house an immigrant. What is wrong with people like you? Where do you get such wildly fictional information?
Love thy neighbor. I think some jew said that once.
Me trying to act righteous but failed miserably...
Even back then, John had too many beastiality jokes that arent funny enough to justify their existence. 😐
Oh no
John Oliver is a millionaire. Why not host migrants into his home? 💁🏻♂️
Why are spamming hbo?
Why are comment like Yoda?
How many of those diverse people has John Oliver housed into his home?
Can you not?
Some of us are actually trying to help, even though disabled, low income or elderly.
Go back to church, with that horrid attitude.
Folks, I found the virgin
How many snow-white American-born came-on-the-Mayflower strangers has _anyone_ housed into their home? Zero. Nobody just houses random strangers, immigrant or not. If you let someone live in your house, you're either their close friend/family, or you're a landlord, and you don't actually live there, you charge them rent.
How many orphans have you adopted? None? Right. Shut your mouth.
Those are just people taking a train. Some are wearing hats, and some are not.
