We had the pleasure of being joined in the studio by comedian Bassem Youssef as he kicks off his The Middle Beast tour.

He came by JOE Towers to chat about Israel's ongoing campaign of violence against the Palestinians, the West's complicity in war crimes being perpetrated by the IDF and Benjamin Netanyahu's government, and how the media needs to be more responsible in its coverage of the bombardment of Gaza.

    The Israelis tried to dehumanize the Palestinians but they only dehumanized themselves.

  • My God!! With this podcast Bassem really pushed some dangerous buttons. I hope God protects him. He opened my mind as a christian.

  • Hay, I'm a Christian and I'm not a Zionist. I stand with Christ, with the weak, the poor, the dispossessed. I stand with the Palestinian people.
  • @nevarran
    He's right. We've lost all moral ground to criticize anyone at this point.
  • Bassem represents every Arabic person who otherwise would respond in angry way, you made us feel so fulfilled by delivering our message in such simple smart way.
  • Western media and governments have lost all credibility. The ICC is quick to jail African, East European despots but is afraid to judge Western ones. They can no longer pretend to lead the globe morally.

    We also have the worst and most ignorant politicians since 1945 here in Europe.

    Bassem Youssef has done a lot for Palestine, just by daring to speak up and unmask the cynical lies of the establishment. Great interview.

    I've lost track of the number of articles I've read and Youtube videos I've watched on this topic and this is far and away the most insightful. This entire interview was simply brilliant because it stated the facts simply with no attempt to spin them. The whole idea of evangelical Christians accepting the Jews as the "chosen people" would be funny if it were not so dangerous. And all the points Bassem made regarding the absurd hypocrisy this genocide has presented to the world were right on target!

    Im irish and funny that we are physically the most western european country, yet we are nothing like the "western world" all my neighbours and family have ALWAYS BEEN pro palestine, we donate, attend protests, fly the flag, make our stance clear to america and the world. Weve never invaded anyone. Only been the victims of colonialism and imperialism. Makes us remember and feel the struggle. and i refuse to be ever labeled a white westerner. God bless Palestine, Saoirse na Philistín!

    As a South African supporting my governments actions I was shocked to be labeled an anti-semite because I believe in being against killing of innocence

    The American airlift, dropping necessary supplies to Gaza, while shipping 2000 lb bunker busters to Israel .. this is American politics at its finest.
  • @hishama6799
    It is great you host an honest intellectual person like Bassem Youssif
  • IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHO CONTROLS YOU , LOOK AT WHO YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CRITICISE VOLTAIRE
  • @markrichards8946
    Netanyahu, Biden, Sunak, Cameron and many others must be held criminally accountable for this genocide.
  • @jaydiweb1
    SO TRUE!!!!! THE WEST HAS LOST ITS RIGHT TO TALK ABOUT MORALITY
