I've heard a lot about this issue, and I wanted to deepen my own understanding. I recognize that this is a sensitive topic, but the only way to truly learn is to seek knowledge. I decided to have guests from both sides of the aisle, if you will, to help me learn by sharing their views. I did this in separate episodes because I'm not a debate moderator, and I chose guests who I thought would share their views palestinian passports, so the land was called Palestine and there were palestinian people living there. 1.2 million, at least. Fast forward. I'm not going to go into this is our land. Now, for whatever biblical reason, because this doesn't make any sense.This is like me coming into your podcast studio. Like, hey, my fortune Cookie told me that this is mine now and I'm allowed to kill you. I don't care about what your Bible or Torah or Quran tells you. If you have a holy scripture, good for you. But that doesn't dictate political decision that can affect the lives of other people in the region. So this is exactly what happened. And what drives me crazy is that we hear the whole idea about, like, the chosen people, or the chosen people, or the chosen people. Okay, fine. You think you're chosen people. Good for you. Everybody think they're chosen. Christians think they're chosen. Muslims think they're chosen. But what drives them crazy is the Christian Zionist, the pro Israel, Christian Zionist, who say that they are chosen. The Jews are chosen. And I'm sorry to say, isn't Jesus your guy? Are you in an open relationship? Are you in an open relationship? Like, how come you believe in a religion, in a God, in a doctrine, but you believe that other people from another religion are chosen over you? Don't you feel unchosen? I mean, this is like a religious polygamy, right?Are you cheating on Jesus? Is this some sort of a religious fomo? It doesn't make any sense. And I don't, and I'm secondary. This whole idea about chosen people, what does it mean to be chosen? Do you have a bottle service? Do you have like, a vip lounge access? Are you like, in a waterfront condos? And we were like, back in that purgatory in our city.It's great advertising, right?I know.It's really great advertising. If you just say you're the chosen , there are 5000 palestinian hostages in prisons. One of every five Palestinian has been put in jail. You understand? So put that in perspective. America has 330 million people.Yeah.So people are missing.How many people are missing?300. So imagine if. Imagine, imagine out of those, about 65 million Americans is in jail right now. This is the reality of Palestinians. So at a certain point, if I'm talking to people who are listening to us now, you have a farm, you have a land, you have your cows, your herd, your family. Imagine for 75 years your house has no privacy. Your family has no sanctity.You can't go to sleep knowing that you're going to wake up and your house will be by enemies?Bring them. Bring the map of the Middle east.Because one of the reasons I'm sure America and Israel have a, like, work together is because they need each other. Right?Okay. So Egypt is surrounded by Egypt. Egypt is the biggest military force in the Middle east. That's my country. Okay? And they have having like a fifth, like a 45 years lasting peace treaty. There has never been a single missile or bullet shot from Israel, from Palestine, from Egypt to Israel. All over that.So Egypt and Israel have a good.Yeah. Jordan is the other country. Peace, UAE peace. Do you have the, really, the big threat for Israel is the little militant group in the Gaza Strip, which is Hamas and Hezbollah, which is south of Lebanon. And if you have all of that military might up there, like, you see the gray area, like in Lebanon. So basically you have like two militant groups who doesn't like you. Right. Supported by Iran, which is far away from you. And you have all of these arab countries around you basically friends Avish Lime, who'liar, he's an anti semite. He hate Jews. Okay, what did he lie about? They will never give you details. What did he lie about. I'll give you an example. When I, on the second Piers Morgan interview, I went up to him and I gave him a story. I told him that israel used to give contraceptive pills to the ethiopian Jews, ethiopian jewish women who were immigrated from Ethiopia. And for more than 15 years, israel would give them contraceptive shots without them knowing. So they would sterilize them. They would not allow them to breathe because they are black.Is that true? Yeah, dude, you know what I noticed, dude? I was in Atlanta at the Coca Cola factory or whatever, and you can. You can taste all the sodas from around the world. Look, is ethiopian women in Israel given contraceptive without consent? Huh?Yeah. So Israel's. Leo, so when. When I. When I. Benjamin Netanyahu was in the government and he came out and he personally apologized. Right? So this is, this is, this is cut and dry. You cannot. And you know what happened? The Israelis on the x. Oh, he's a liar. That never happens. A guy. It's here. So this is. I'm just preparing you that every time you're gonna tell them something, they will tell you. Oh, it's a lie. It's a lie. Nobody said that. Nobody said that.Well, a lot of that's just. Yeah, people will position themselves constantly. You know, it's like people are. Especially if people are up to no good. Nobody wants to get caught. Yes, a lot of times.Yeah. It's like you saying something, somebody. You're racist. It's like, wait, what. What did I just said? That was race. Oh, no, you're racist. You're making me uncomfortable. Nobody cares.Well, people have thrown around some of those terms so many times, it's like the boy that cried wolf kind of, in a way, it's like you can't. I can't. You can't make it feel like I can't ask something or talk about something. Yeah, it just. Sometimes, it just. Sometimes some. Some of that stuff is strange and it's hard. I mean, some of this stuff is even hard to talk about because it's like, I the fact that they say, like, oh, we're doing this for Palestinians. We will get rid of Hamas for them, and the Palestinians will be grateful. And then I see the destructions. I see that, yeah, there's a lot of Palestinians who don't like Hamas, but you want to convince me that you want to destroy that place, and then you think those people that would be left would be okay with you.Do you think the palestinian people knew that Hamas was going to do this October?I don't think they knew. And of course, it's devastating for them. And. But it. And I wish the October 7 never happened. But again, we come back, it's like, how long can you take it? How long can you take the abuse, the land theft, the killing? At a certain point, you're gonna be desperate, and you're gonna be desperate against an. A very much more stronger enemy. Yeah, but isn't like. But when America revolted for tea, they revolted against a much stronger enemy. And I find it very interesting how everything in the american culture, you watch Star wars, you side with the rebels, you watch the Hunger Games, you side with the rebels, you go to Israel, you side with the oppressor, you don't side with the rebels, you don't side with the people with no weapons. You said, you don't side with the people with the machine guns, with the knives. You side the people with the military archives. Yeah, because they were deemed terrorists, less humans. Dehumanizing. See how they talk about Palestinians? They are death cults. They are terrorists.And what are Palestinians like?Like, normal people. Normal people. But they are living in a horrible condition. I married one of them.Oh, gosh.So I can report that she has no fangs or nails other than the nails that she does in the nails alone. So she's like a normal human being. And we have normal kids, and they don't turn into werewolves at night. They are normal people. They are normal people who have been in this land, and they were taken away from them. And this was a problem that was imported from a different continent, done by other perpetrators. They were rejected by other white people, and they were just, like, put on us, and it is terrible and it should not happen.So do Palestinians also have issues with Britain? And the US, then, probably.Of course.Yeah.Like, I don't think they have any time to have issues with anybody. They have time to survive. They're living in tents right now in Gaza, and the people who live in West bank are under threat to be killed or kicked out at any moment. And I just. I just want people to look at them as humans. Everybody who went to Gaza, everybody went to West bank, saw what happened, those people. And then we speak up. They're being shut down.Are you able to look at Israel as humans, too?Yes, but I asked. I look at everybody as humans, and I will not do the same mistake that they have been doing to us, dehumanizing us, calling us terrorists, but they are acting like terrorists.Why don't we give part of our country to Palestine?Why don't you give part of your country to jewish people?Oh, yeah. Why don't we give part of our country to one of the groups? At least that would help, I think.Maybe, but it's not. It's. It was.Or an island. What about that? What about. What if you did a merger? You did Palest Ireland?That's a good one. Yes.Do you think that's possible? Would now, would Palestine accept something like that? Where it's like, let's. Let's give this place.I'm not palestinian, so I cannot speak on their behalf, but I think Palestinians want to stay in their land, and I think many of those. This is. This is what drives me crazy, because it doesn't make any sense. Any jewish person all around the world, if you're like, a Polish Jewish, like an american Jewish, just because you're jewish, you can get the israeli passport right now. Right now. And once you get the passport, you can come from Brooklyn land into Israel, take a piece of land that was owned by a Palestinian right on the spot, or a home that is owned by a Palestinian, saying that this is your promised land.Like, what do you mean? You can walk into the house.You can just walk in the house and you can have videos of people taking their stuff and barging into a palestinian home in the West bank. It happens all the time. It doesn't make any sense. A Brooklyn Jew, just because he was born Jew, can just, like, go to Israel, take the passport and take a piece of land that is belonged to someone else, even now, as we speak. Does that make any sense?But most people wouldn't do that.Many people do that. Many people do that. On every single given day, you have planes with thousands of jewish people from all over the world. Coming from Eastern Europe, coming from Africa, coming from Latin America, coming in America and settling in the land setting and arab land.The palestinian people, do they have a police department?They have, like, they have something called the Palestinian Authority, which is an oxymoron, and they are called the Palestinian Authority. But show me an authority that has absolutely no say about the foreign people coming in and taking land from your people. Yeah, it's.My friend got a job at the airport and he was a little guy, right? And they gave him a billy club and it weighed him down that he was so little. He's like, he probably weighed 60 pounds, whatever.And I guess I think he's more effective, more than the Palestinian Authority. He has more power than there.The club dude, you'd see him run. He almost had to run sideways because the way the club would, like, shuffle and, like, block his legs.I wish it was that funny.What's the solution? There has to. You have to have some.The solution is to end the occupation, and the solution is that Israel should stop killing Palestinians, taking their land. It's as simple as that. Details what land, how much. Well, that's not my thing to say because I'm a comedian, not a politician. I'm not a Palestinian. There are palestinian politicians that can talk on their behalf, but I can tell you whatever is happening now is wrong, and I'm nothing. It's not my problem or my issue to come up with a solution because I didn't cause that crisis. It's someone else caused it. And it's not for me to fix it for them. But what I can say, what's happening is wrong.Are any american or british leaders and some of this stuff, I don't know, a ton. You know, I'm trying my best to learn. Is some american or british leaders trying to help negotiate that? Have we tried over the years to help?Yeah, but it's always been skewed towards Israel. What?Is that true, though?Yeah, yeah, yeah.And because both sides have rejected peace agreements, right?Yes, but one of them rejected it because basically you're giving them a very shitty deal and the other side rejected it because they want more. And now they're telling you, it's like, hey, you know what? Forget about the second state. Forget about two state solution. Even the Israeli say that it's all ours now.Forget what about, like, ladder and bloom or something? Who is, who is doing the, um, or remark or something? Who's the eight? Who's, who's negotiating at all?I don't know. There's no negotiation now. Like, Israel hasn't gone to the negotiation table for the past 20 years.Like, is Gaza on zillow? No.I think if there's Zillow's.I'm just joking. Is that offensive?Oh, my God. No, no, no. And I learned to layer to life about everything. It's like, I think I. Zillow's like.Here'S the thing. If it's not on Zillow, I don't think you can take it.However, it's not in Zillow. It's not. Oh, wow.But I think one thing about a lot of my jewish friends, I notice is they do a good job of working together.You know, jewish people are great business people, and I don't want to kind of be the guy who said, hey, I have black friends. But, like, honestly, like, my agents, my mentors, managers, and they all come from companies that are overwhelmingly jewish people. And I have no problem dealing with it. My utmost friend. And the guy that I look up to is Jon Stewart, and he's the reason why I'm known to America. When I came on disagree with the kind of, some of the situation there? Is that kind of tough sometimes it.Is tough for them. I have a lot of jewish friends who are in disagreement with their parents, who are pretty much zionist. And they are. They don't agree with that.And as zionist. What is it again?Just give me 1 second. Okay. According to jewish people or zionist people, it is just simply the. Having a national state of Israel in the Middle east. That's basically. Butis too heavy. But for the people who are interested, what you did is to bring a problem that affects us, whether we like it or not. And I'm happy that you're bringing a rabbi to speak on a totally opposite level. And I'm happy that when people have more questions, you bring more people to speak to you. I'm happy to come back again and talk to the people. And because at the end of the day, you listen not just for entertainment, for education. And there's so many things in that world that I don't know. So I listen to shows that will tell me. So I just want. I'm not here to attack anybody. I'm not here to say bad things about anybody. I'm here to just invite people to be more curious and to understand how things work and to form their own opinion and not just give up to, oh, this is the way it is. We can't change anything, because if you said that nothing will change, and then you will come up tomorrow and you will complain about why things are not changing.It just needs to start from asking questions. Yeah, asking questions. Open your mind, and I will be more than happy to come back again and talk about. I'm sure that you can have so many questions, so many rebuttals, like, ask him this, ask him that, and I'm happy to come. And if he would get me on the show again, and I'm happy to speak. You see how we talked? It was nothing. There's nothing threatening of what we did today.Yeah.There's nothing anti semitic. There's nothing islamophobic. We didn't. We didn't go and attack people from different faces. We just talk about politics. And I might be wrong, but prove me wrong.Oh, yeah. Bassem, thank you so much, man.Thank you so much. I appreciate you.Yeah. Inshallah. What do people say?Inshallah is like, if God wills.If God wills.If God wills?Inshallah.Inshallah.Inshallah.Inshallah.Inshallah.I would say inshallah.Inshallah.Yeah, that's it. Amazing.Inshallah. Yes, you can.People can find you basim, Yusuf, XYZ, or basim at instagram. I'm starting my montreal. I'm coming 20 July. Then I'm going a whole american tour in Florida. Chicago, Minneapolis, San Francisco. Chicago, Minneapolis. I said that. Yeah. Tampa, Orlando, Toronto. So I'll see you guys.Marvelous. Yeah. If you haven't seen this guy, watch his. Also his interview with Piers Morgan. It's insightful and interesting and funny, you know, and it's okay to say that, you know, we have to laugh in times of pain. That's why God put it into us. Thank you. Yeah. Just thank you so much for your time, brother.Thank you for having me. Thank you for the space. Thank you for accommodating me. I appreciate you. Love all of your listeners, guys. Love you all. Now I'm just falling on the breeze? And I feel I'm falling? Like these leaves? I must be cornerstone? Oh, but when I reach that ground? I'll share this piece of my life? I can feel it in my bones? But it's gonna take a little close.

palestinian passports, so the land was called Palestine and there were palestinian people living there. 1.2 million, at least. Fast forward. I'm not going to go into this is our land. Now, for whatever biblical reason, because this doesn't make any sense.This is like me coming into your podcast studio. Like, hey, my fortune Cookie told me that this is mine now and I'm allowed to kill you. I don't care about what your Bible or Torah or Quran tells you. If you have a holy scripture, good for you. But that doesn't dictate political decision that can affect the lives of other people in the region. So this is exactly what happened. And what drives me crazy is that we hear the whole idea about, like, the chosen people, or the chosen people, or the chosen people. Okay, fine. You think you're chosen people. Good for you.

I mean, this is like a religious polygamy, right?Are you cheating on Jesus? Is this some sort of a religious fomo? It doesn't make any sense. And I don't, and I'm secondary. This whole idea about chosen people, what does it mean to be chosen? Do you have a bottle service? Do you have like, a vip lounge access? Are you like, in a waterfront condos? And we were like, back in that purgatory in our city.It's great advertising, right?I know.It's really great advertising. If you just say you're the chosen , there are 5000 palestinian hostages in prisons. One of every five Palestinian has been put in jail. You understand? So put that in perspective.

But, like, honestly, like, my agents, my mentors, managers, and they all come from companies that are overwhelmingly jewish people. And I have no problem dealing with it. My utmost friend. And the guy that I look up to is Jon Stewart, and he's the reason why I'm known to America. When I came on disagree with the kind of, some of the situation there? Is that kind of tough sometimes it.Is tough for them. I have a lot of jewish friends who are in disagreement with their parents, who are pretty much zionist. And they are. They don't agree with that.And as zionist. What is it again?Just give me 1 second. Okay. According to jewish people or zionist people, it is just simply the. Having a national state of Israel in the Middle east. That's basically. Butis too heavy. But for the people who are interested, what you did is to bring a problem that affects us, whether we like it or not. And I'm happy that you're bringing a rabbi to speak on a totally opposite level. And I'm happy that when people have more questions, you bring more people to speak to you. I'm happy to come back again and talk to the people. And because at the end of the day, you listen not just for entertainment, for education. And there's so many things in that world that I don't know. So I listen to shows that will tell me. So I just want. I'm not here to attack anybody. I'm not here to say bad things about anybody. I'm here to just invite people to be more curious and to understand how things work and to form their own opinion and not just give up to, oh, this is the way it is. We can't change anything, because if you said that nothing will change, and then you will come up tomorrow and you will complain about why things are not changing.It just needs to start from asking questions. Yeah, asking questions. Open your mind, and I will be more than happy to come back again and talk about. I'm sure that you can have so many questions, so many rebuttals, like, ask him this, ask him that, and I'm happy to come. And if he would get me on the show again, and I'm happy to speak. You see how we talked? It was nothing. There's nothing threatening of what we did today.Yeah.There's nothing anti semitic. There's nothing islamophobic. We didn't. We didn't go and attack people from different faces. We just talk about politics. And I might be wrong, but prove me wrong.Oh, yeah. Bassem, thank you so much, man.Thank you so much. I appreciate you.Yeah. Inshallah. What do people say?Inshallah is like, if God wills.If God wills.If God wills?Inshallah.Inshallah.Inshallah.Inshallah.Inshallah.I would say inshallah.Inshallah.Yeah, that's it. Amazing.Inshallah. Yes, you can.People can find you basim, Yusuf, XYZ, or basim at instagram. I'm starting my montreal. I'm coming 20 July. Then I'm going a whole american tour in Florida. Chicago, Minneapolis, San Francisco. Chicago, Minneapolis. I said that. Yeah. Tampa, Orlando, Toronto. So I'll see you guys.Marvelous. Yeah. If you haven't seen this guy, watch his. Also his interview with Piers Morgan. It's insightful and interesting and funny, you know, and it's okay to say that, you know, we have to laugh in times of pain. That's why God put it into us. Thank you. Yeah. Just thank you so much for your time, brother.Thank you for having me. Thank you for the space. Thank you for accommodating me. I appreciate you. Love all of your listeners, guys. Love you all. Now I'm just falling on the breeze? And I feel I'm falling? Like these leaves? I must be cornerstone? Oh, but when I reach that ground? I'll share this piece of my life? I can feel it in my bones? But it's gonna take a little close.

[00:25:43]

this is our land. Now, for whatever biblical reason, because this doesn't make any sense.

[00:25:47]

This is like me coming into your podcast studio. Like, hey, my fortune Cookie told me that this is mine now and I'm allowed to kill you. I don't care about what your Bible or Torah or Quran tells you. If you have a holy scripture, good for you. But that doesn't dictate political decision that can affect the lives of other people in the region. So this is exactly what happened. And what drives me crazy is that we hear the whole idea about, like, the chosen people, or the chosen people, or the chosen people. Okay, fine. You think you're chosen people. Good for you. Everybody think they're chosen. Christians think they're chosen. Muslims think they're chosen. But what drives them crazy is the Christian Zionist, the pro Israel, Christian Zionist, who say that they are chosen. The Jews are chosen. And I'm sorry to say, isn't Jesus your guy? Are you in an open relationship? Are you in an open relationship? Like, how come you believe in a religion, in a God, in a doctrine, but you believe that other people from another religion are chosen over you? Don't you feel unchosen? I mean, this is like a religious polygamy, right?

[00:26:50]

Are you cheating on Jesus? Is this some sort of a religious fomo? It doesn't make any sense. And I don't, and I'm secondary. This whole idea about chosen people, what does it mean to be chosen? Do you have a bottle service? Do you have like, a vip lounge access? Are you like, in a waterfront condos? And we were like, back in that purgatory in our city.

[00:27:07]

It's great advertising, right?

[00:27:09]

I know.

[00:27:09]

It's really great advertising. If you just say you're the chosen , there are 5000 palestinian hostages in prisons. One of every five Palestinian has been put in jail. You understand? So put that in perspective. America has 330 million people.Yeah.So people are missing.How many people are missing?300. So imagine if. Imagine, imagine out of those, about 65 million Americans is in jail right now. This is the reality of Palestinians. So at a certain point, if I'm talking to people who are listening to us now, you have a farm, you have a land, you have your cows, your herd, your family. Imagine for 75 years your house has no privacy. Your family has no sanctity.You can't go to sleep knowing that you're going to wake up and your house will be by enemies?Bring them. Bring the map of the Middle east.Because one of the reasons I'm sure America and Israel have a, like, work together is because they need each other. Right?Okay. So Egypt is surrounded by Egypt. Egypt is the biggest military force in the Middle east. That's my country. Okay? And they have having like a fifth, like a 45 years lasting peace treaty. There has never been a single missile or bullet shot from Israel, from Palestine, from Egypt to Israel. All over that.So Egypt and Israel have a good.Yeah. Jordan is the other country. Peace, UAE peace. Do you have the, really, the big threat for Israel is the little militant group in the Gaza Strip, which is Hamas and Hezbollah, which is south of Lebanon. And if you have all of that military might up there, like, you see the gray area, like in Lebanon. So basically you have like two militant groups who doesn't like you. Right. Supported by Iran, which is far away from you. And you have all of these arab countries around you basically friends Avish Lime, who'liar, he's an anti semite. He hate Jews. Okay, what did he lie about? They will never give you details. What did he lie about. I'll give you an example. When I, on the second Piers Morgan interview, I went up to him and I gave him a story. I told him that israel used to give contraceptive pills to the ethiopian Jews, ethiopian jewish women who were immigrated from Ethiopia. And for more than 15 years, israel would give them contraceptive shots without them knowing. So they would sterilize them. They would not allow them to breathe because they are black.Is that true? Yeah, dude, you know what I noticed, dude? I was in Atlanta at the Coca Cola factory or whatever, and you can. You can taste all the sodas from around the world. Look, is ethiopian women in Israel given contraceptive without consent? Huh?Yeah. So Israel's. Leo, so when. When I. When I. Benjamin Netanyahu was in the government and he came out and he personally apologized. Right? So this is, this is, this is cut and dry. You cannot. And you know what happened? The Israelis on the x. Oh, he's a liar. That never happens. A guy. It's here. So this is. I'm just preparing you that every time you're gonna tell them something, they will tell you. Oh, it's a lie. It's a lie. Nobody said that. Nobody said that.Well, a lot of that's just. Yeah, people will position themselves constantly. You know, it's like people are. Especially if people are up to no good. Nobody wants to get caught. Yes, a lot of times.Yeah. It's like you saying something, somebody. You're racist. It's like, wait, what. What did I just said? That was race. Oh, no, you're racist. You're making me uncomfortable. Nobody cares.Well, people have thrown around some of those terms so many times, it's like the boy that cried wolf kind of, in a way, it's like you can't. I can't. You can't make it feel like I can't ask something or talk about something. Yeah, it just. Sometimes, it just. Sometimes some. Some of that stuff is strange and it's hard. I mean, some of this stuff is even hard to talk about because it's like, I the fact that they say, like, oh, we're doing this for Palestinians. We will get rid of Hamas for them, and the Palestinians will be grateful. And then I see the destructions. I see that, yeah, there's a lot of Palestinians who don't like Hamas, but you want to convince me that you want to destroy that place, and then you think those people that would be left would be okay with you.Do you think the palestinian people knew that Hamas was going to do this October?I don't think they knew. And of course, it's devastating for them. And. But it. And I wish the October 7 never happened. But again, we come back, it's like, how long can you take it? How long can you take the abuse, the land theft, the killing? At a certain point, you're gonna be desperate, and you're gonna be desperate against an. A very much more stronger enemy. Yeah, but isn't like. But when America revolted for tea, they revolted against a much stronger enemy. And I find it very interesting how everything in the american culture, you watch Star wars, you side with the rebels, you watch the Hunger Games, you side with the rebels, you go to Israel, you side with the oppressor, you don't side with the rebels, you don't side with the people with no weapons. You said, you don't side with the people with the machine guns, with the knives. You side the people with the military archives. Yeah, because they were deemed terrorists, less humans. Dehumanizing. See how they talk about Palestinians? They are death cults. They are terrorists.And what are Palestinians like?Like, normal people. Normal people. But they are living in a horrible condition. I married one of them.Oh, gosh.So I can report that she has no fangs or nails other than the nails that she does in the nails alone. So she's like a normal human being. And we have normal kids, and they don't turn into werewolves at night. They are normal people. They are normal people who have been in this land, and they were taken away from them. And this was a problem that was imported from a different continent, done by other perpetrators. They were rejected by other white people, and they were just, like, put on us, and it is terrible and it should not happen.So do Palestinians also have issues with Britain? And the US, then, probably.Of course.Yeah.Like, I don't think they have any time to have issues with anybody. They have time to survive. They're living in tents right now in Gaza, and the people who live in West bank are under threat to be killed or kicked out at any moment. And I just. I just want people to look at them as humans. Everybody who went to Gaza, everybody went to West bank, saw what happened, those people. And then we speak up. They're being shut down.Are you able to look at Israel as humans, too?Yes, but I asked. I look at everybody as humans, and I will not do the same mistake that they have been doing to us, dehumanizing us, calling us terrorists, but they are acting like terrorists.Why don't we give part of our country to Palestine?Why don't you give part of your country to jewish people?Oh, yeah. Why don't we give part of our country to one of the groups? At least that would help, I think.Maybe, but it's not. It's. It was.Or an island. What about that? What about. What if you did a merger? You did Palest Ireland?That's a good one. Yes.Do you think that's possible? Would now, would Palestine accept something like that? Where it's like, let's. Let's give this place.I'm not palestinian, so I cannot speak on their behalf, but I think Palestinians want to stay in their land, and I think many of those. This is. This is what drives me crazy, because it doesn't make any sense. Any jewish person all around the world, if you're like, a Polish Jewish, like an american Jewish, just because you're jewish, you can get the israeli passport right now. Right now. And once you get the passport, you can come from Brooklyn land into Israel, take a piece of land that was owned by a Palestinian right on the spot, or a home that is owned by a Palestinian, saying that this is your promised land.Like, what do you mean? You can walk into the house.You can just walk in the house and you can have videos of people taking their stuff and barging into a palestinian home in the West bank. It happens all the time. It doesn't make any sense. A Brooklyn Jew, just because he was born Jew, can just, like, go to Israel, take the passport and take a piece of land that is belonged to someone else, even now, as we speak. Does that make any sense?But most people wouldn't do that.Many people do that. Many people do that. On every single given day, you have planes with thousands of jewish people from all over the world. Coming from Eastern Europe, coming from Africa, coming from Latin America, coming in America and settling in the land setting and arab land.The palestinian people, do they have a police department?They have, like, they have something called the Palestinian Authority, which is an oxymoron, and they are called the Palestinian Authority. But show me an authority that has absolutely no say about the foreign people coming in and taking land from your people. Yeah, it's.My friend got a job at the airport and he was a little guy, right? And they gave him a billy club and it weighed him down that he was so little. He's like, he probably weighed 60 pounds, whatever.And I guess I think he's more effective, more than the Palestinian Authority. He has more power than there.The club dude, you'd see him run. He almost had to run sideways because the way the club would, like, shuffle and, like, block his legs.I wish it was that funny.What's the solution? There has to. You have to have some.The solution is to end the occupation, and the solution is that Israel should stop killing Palestinians, taking their land. It's as simple as that. Details what land, how much. Well, that's not my thing to say because I'm a comedian, not a politician. I'm not a Palestinian. There are palestinian politicians that can talk on their behalf, but I can tell you whatever is happening now is wrong, and I'm nothing. It's not my problem or my issue to come up with a solution because I didn't cause that crisis. It's someone else caused it. And it's not for me to fix it for them. But what I can say, what's happening is wrong.Are any american or british leaders and some of this stuff, I don't know, a ton. You know, I'm trying my best to learn. Is some american or british leaders trying to help negotiate that? Have we tried over the years to help?Yeah, but it's always been skewed towards Israel. What?Is that true, though?Yeah, yeah, yeah.And because both sides have rejected peace agreements, right?Yes, but one of them rejected it because basically you're giving them a very shitty deal and the other side rejected it because they want more. And now they're telling you, it's like, hey, you know what? Forget about the second state. Forget about two state solution. Even the Israeli say that it's all ours now.Forget what about, like, ladder and bloom or something? Who is, who is doing the, um, or remark or something? Who's the eight? Who's, who's negotiating at all?I don't know. There's no negotiation now. Like, Israel hasn't gone to the negotiation table for the past 20 years.Like, is Gaza on zillow? No.I think if there's Zillow's.I'm just joking. Is that offensive?Oh, my God. No, no, no. And I learned to layer to life about everything. It's like, I think I. Zillow's like.Here'S the thing. If it's not on Zillow, I don't think you can take it.However, it's not in Zillow. It's not. Oh, wow.But I think one thing about a lot of my jewish friends, I notice is they do a good job of working together.You know, jewish people are great business people, and I don't want to kind of be the guy who said, hey, I have black friends. But, like, honestly, like, my agents, my mentors, managers, and they all come from companies that are overwhelmingly jewish people. And I have no problem dealing with it. My utmost friend. And the guy that I look up to is Jon Stewart, and he's the reason why I'm known to America. When I came on disagree with the kind of, some of the situation there? Is that kind of tough sometimes it.Is tough for them. I have a lot of jewish friends who are in disagreement with their parents, who are pretty much zionist. And they are. They don't agree with that.And as zionist. What is it again?Just give me 1 second. Okay. According to jewish people or zionist people, it is just simply the. Having a national state of Israel in the Middle east. That's basically. Butis too heavy. But for the people who are interested, what you did is to bring a problem that affects us, whether we like it or not. And I'm happy that you're bringing a rabbi to speak on a totally opposite level.

So I just want. I'm not here to attack anybody. I'm not here to say bad things about anybody.

We can't change anything, because if you said that nothing will change, and then you will come up tomorrow and you will complain about why things are not changing.It just needs to start from asking questions. Yeah, asking questions. Open your mind, and I will be more than happy to come back again and talk about.

What do people say?Inshallah is like, if God wills.If God wills.If God wills?Inshallah.Inshallah.Inshallah.Inshallah.Inshallah.I would say inshallah.Inshallah.Yeah, that's it. Amazing.Inshallah. Yes, you can.People can find you basim, Yusuf, XYZ, or basim at instagram. I'm starting my montreal. I'm coming 20 July. Then I'm going a whole american tour in Florida.

It's not my problem or my issue to come up with a solution because I didn't cause that crisis. It's someone else caused it. And it's not for me to fix it for them. But what I can say, what's happening is wrong.Are any american or british leaders and some of this stuff, I don't know, a ton. You know, I'm trying my best to learn. Is some american or british leaders trying to help negotiate that? Have we tried over the years to help?Yeah, but it's always been skewed towards Israel. What?Is that true, though?Yeah, yeah, yeah.And because both sides have rejected peace agreements, right?Yes, but one of them rejected it because basically you're giving them a very shitty deal and the other side rejected it because they want more. And now they're telling you, it's like, hey, you know what? Forget about the second state. Forget about two state solution. Even the Israeli say that it's all ours now.Forget what about, like, ladder and bloom or something? Who is, who is doing the, um, or remark or something? Who's the eight? Who's, who's negotiating at all?I don't know. There's no negotiation now. Like, Israel hasn't gone to the negotiation table for the past 20 years.Like, is Gaza on zillow? No.I think if there's Zillow's.I'm just joking. Is that offensive?Oh, my God. No, no, no. And I learned to layer to life about everything. It's like, I think I. Zillow's like.Here'S the thing. If it's not on Zillow, I don't think you can take it.However, it's not in Zillow. It's not. Oh, wow.But I think one thing about a lot of my jewish friends, I notice is they do a good job of working together.You know, jewish people are great business people, and I don't want to kind of be the guy who said, hey, I have black friends. But, like, honestly, like, my agents, my mentors, managers, and they all come from companies that are overwhelmingly jewish people. And I have no problem dealing with it. My utmost friend. And the guy that I look up to is Jon Stewart, and he's the reason why I'm known to America. When I came on disagree with the kind of, some of the situation there? Is that kind of tough sometimes it.Is tough for them. I have a lot of jewish friends who are in disagreement with their parents, who are pretty much zionist. And they are. They don't agree with that.And as zionist. What is it again?Just give me 1 second. Okay. According to jewish people or zionist people, it is just simply the. Having a national state of Israel in the Middle east. That's basically. Butis too heavy. But for the people who are interested, what you did is to bring a problem that affects us, whether we like it or not. And I'm happy that you're bringing a rabbi to speak on a totally opposite level. And I'm happy that when people have more questions, you bring more people to speak to you. I'm happy to come back again and talk to the people. And because at the end of the day, you listen not just for entertainment, for education. And there's so many things in that world that I don't know. So I listen to shows that will tell me. So I just want. I'm not here to attack anybody. I'm not here to say bad things about anybody. I'm here to just invite people to be more curious and to understand how things work and to form their own opinion and not just give up to, oh, this is the way it is. We can't change anything, because if you said that nothing will change, and then you will come up tomorrow and you will complain about why things are not changing.It just needs to start from asking questions. Yeah, asking questions. Open your mind, and I will be more than happy to come back again and talk about. I'm sure that you can have so many questions, so many rebuttals, like, ask him this, ask him that, and I'm happy to come. And if he would get me on the show again, and I'm happy to speak. You see how we talked? It was nothing. There's nothing threatening of what we did today.Yeah.There's nothing anti semitic. There's nothing islamophobic. We didn't. We didn't go and attack people from different faces. We just talk about politics. And I might be wrong, but prove me wrong.Oh, yeah. Bassem, thank you so much, man.Thank you so much. I appreciate you.Yeah. Inshallah. What do people say?Inshallah is like, if God wills.If God wills.If God wills?Inshallah.Inshallah.Inshallah.Inshallah.Inshallah.I would say inshallah.Inshallah.Yeah, that's it. Amazing.Inshallah. Yes, you can.People can find you basim, Yusuf, XYZ, or basim at instagram. I'm starting my montreal. I'm coming 20 July. Then I'm going a whole american tour in Florida. Chicago, Minneapolis, San Francisco. Chicago, Minneapolis. I said that. Yeah. Tampa, Orlando, Toronto. So I'll see you guys.Marvelous. Yeah. If you haven't seen this guy, watch his. Also his interview with Piers Morgan. It's insightful and interesting and funny, you know, and it's okay to say that, you know, we have to laugh in times of pain. That's why God put it into us. Thank you. Yeah. Just thank you so much for your time, brother.Thank you for having me. Thank you for the space. Thank you for accommodating me. I appreciate you. Love all of your listeners, guys. Love you all. Now I'm just falling on the breeze? And I feel I'm falling? Like these leaves? I must be cornerstone? Oh, but when I reach that ground? I'll share this piece of my life? I can feel it in my bones? But it's gonna take a little close.

[00:57:02]

by enemies?

[00:57:03]

Bring them. Bring the map of the Middle east.

[00:57:06]

Because one of the reasons I'm sure America and Israel have a, like, work together is because they need each other. Right?

[00:57:14]

Okay. So Egypt is surrounded by Egypt. Egypt is the biggest military force in the Middle east. That's my country. Okay? And they have having like a fifth, like a 45 years lasting peace treaty. There has never been a single missile or bullet shot from Israel, from Palestine, from Egypt to Israel. All over that.

[00:57:30]

So Egypt and Israel have a good.

[00:57:32]

Yeah. Jordan is the other country. Peace, UAE peace. Do you have the, really, the big threat for Israel is the little militant group in the Gaza Strip, which is Hamas and Hezbollah, which is south of Lebanon. And if you have all of that military might up there, like, you see the gray area, like in Lebanon. So basically you have like two militant groups who doesn't like you. Right. Supported by Iran, which is far away from you. And you have all of these arab countries around you basically friends Avish Lime, who'liar, he's an anti semite. He hate Jews. Okay, what did he lie about? They will never give you details. What did he lie about. I'll give you an example. When I, on the second Piers Morgan interview, I went up to him and I gave him a story. I told him that israel used to give contraceptive pills to the ethiopian Jews, ethiopian jewish women who were immigrated from Ethiopia. And for more than 15 years, israel would give them contraceptive shots without them knowing. So they would sterilize them. They would not allow them to breathe because they are black.Is that true? Yeah, dude, you know what I noticed, dude? I was in Atlanta at the Coca Cola factory or whatever, and you can. You can taste all the sodas from around the world. Look, is ethiopian women in Israel given contraceptive without consent? Huh?Yeah. So Israel's. Leo, so when. When I. When I. Benjamin Netanyahu was in the government and he came out and he personally apologized. Right? So this is, this is, this is cut and dry. You cannot. And you know what happened? The Israelis on the x. Oh, he's a liar. That never happens. A guy. It's here. So this is. I'm just preparing you that every time you're gonna tell them something, they will tell you. Oh, it's a lie. It's a lie. Nobody said that. Nobody said that.Well, a lot of that's just. Yeah, people will position themselves constantly. You know, it's like people are. Especially if people are up to no good. Nobody wants to get caught. Yes, a lot of times.Yeah. It's like you saying something, somebody. You're racist. It's like, wait, what. What did I just said? That was race. Oh, no, you're racist. You're making me uncomfortable. Nobody cares.Well, people have thrown around some of those terms so many times, it's like the boy that cried wolf kind of, in a way, it's like you can't. I can't. You can't make it feel like I can't ask something or talk about something. Yeah, it just. Sometimes, it just. Sometimes some. Some of that stuff is strange and it's hard. I mean, some of this stuff is even hard to talk about because it's like, I the fact that they say, like, oh, we're doing this for Palestinians. We will get rid of Hamas for them, and the Palestinians will be grateful. And then I see the destructions. I see that, yeah, there's a lot of Palestinians who don't like Hamas, but you want to convince me that you want to destroy that place, and then you think those people that would be left would be okay with you.Do you think the palestinian people knew that Hamas was going to do this October?I don't think they knew. And of course, it's devastating for them. And. But it. And I wish the October 7 never happened. But again, we come back, it's like, how long can you take it? How long can you take the abuse, the land theft, the killing? At a certain point, you're gonna be desperate, and you're gonna be desperate against an. A very much more stronger enemy. Yeah, but isn't like. But when America revolted for tea, they revolted against a much stronger enemy. And I find it very interesting how everything in the american culture, you watch Star wars, you side with the rebels, you watch the Hunger Games, you side with the rebels, you go to Israel, you side with the oppressor, you don't side with the rebels, you don't side with the people with no weapons. You said, you don't side with the people with the machine guns, with the knives. You side the people with the military archives. Yeah, because they were deemed terrorists, less humans. Dehumanizing. See how they talk about Palestinians? They are death cults. They are terrorists.And what are Palestinians like?Like, normal people. Normal people. But they are living in a horrible condition. I married one of them.Oh, gosh.So I can report that she has no fangs or nails other than the nails that she does in the nails alone. So she's like a normal human being. And we have normal kids, and they don't turn into werewolves at night. They are normal people. They are normal people who have been in this land, and they were taken away from them. And this was a problem that was imported from a different continent, done by other perpetrators. They were rejected by other white people, and they were just, like, put on us, and it is terrible and it should not happen.So do Palestinians also have issues with Britain? And the US, then, probably.Of course.Yeah.Like, I don't think they have any time to have issues with anybody. They have time to survive. They're living in tents right now in Gaza, and the people who live in West bank are under threat to be killed or kicked out at any moment. And I just. I just want people to look at them as humans. Everybody who went to Gaza, everybody went to West bank, saw what happened, those people. And then we speak up. They're being shut down.Are you able to look at Israel as humans, too?Yes, but I asked. I look at everybody as humans, and I will not do the same mistake that they have been doing to us, dehumanizing us, calling us terrorists, but they are acting like terrorists.Why don't we give part of our country to Palestine?Why don't you give part of your country to jewish people?Oh, yeah. Why don't we give part of our country to one of the groups? At least that would help, I think.Maybe, but it's not. It's. It was.Or an island. What about that? What about. What if you did a merger? You did Palest Ireland?That's a good one. Yes.Do you think that's possible? Would now, would Palestine accept something like that? Where it's like, let's. Let's give this place.I'm not palestinian, so I cannot speak on their behalf, but I think Palestinians want to stay in their land, and I think many of those. This is. This is what drives me crazy, because it doesn't make any sense. Any jewish person all around the world, if you're like, a Polish Jewish, like an american Jewish, just because you're jewish, you can get the israeli passport right now. Right now. And once you get the passport, you can come from Brooklyn land into Israel, take a piece of land that was owned by a Palestinian right on the spot, or a home that is owned by a Palestinian, saying that this is your promised land.Like, what do you mean? You can walk into the house.You can just walk in the house and you can have videos of people taking their stuff and barging into a palestinian home in the West bank. It happens all the time. It doesn't make any sense. A Brooklyn Jew, just because he was born Jew, can just, like, go to Israel, take the passport and take a piece of land that is belonged to someone else, even now, as we speak. Does that make any sense?But most people wouldn't do that.Many people do that. Many people do that. On every single given day, you have planes with thousands of jewish people from all over the world. Coming from Eastern Europe, coming from Africa, coming from Latin America, coming in America and settling in the land setting and arab land.The palestinian people, do they have a police department?They have, like, they have something called the Palestinian Authority, which is an oxymoron, and they are called the Palestinian Authority. But show me an authority that has absolutely no say about the foreign people coming in and taking land from your people. Yeah, it's.My friend got a job at the airport and he was a little guy, right? And they gave him a billy club and it weighed him down that he was so little. He's like, he probably weighed 60 pounds, whatever.And I guess I think he's more effective, more than the Palestinian Authority. He has more power than there.The club dude, you'd see him run. He almost had to run sideways because the way the club would, like, shuffle and, like, block his legs.I wish it was that funny.What's the solution? There has to. You have to have some.The solution is to end the occupation, and the solution is that Israel should stop killing Palestinians, taking their land. It's as simple as that. Details what land, how much. Well, that's not my thing to say because I'm a comedian, not a politician. I'm not a Palestinian. There are palestinian politicians that can talk on their behalf, but I can tell you whatever is happening now is wrong, and I'm nothing. It's not my problem or my issue to come up with a solution because I didn't cause that crisis. It's someone else caused it. And it's not for me to fix it for them.

No.I think if there's Zillow's.I'm just joking. Is that offensive?Oh, my God. No, no, no. And I learned to layer to life about everything. It's like, I think I. Zillow's like.Here'S the thing.

But for the people who are interested, what you did is to bring a problem that affects us, whether we like it or not. And I'm happy that you're bringing a rabbi to speak on a totally opposite level. And I'm happy that when people have more questions, you bring more people to speak to you. I'm happy to come back again and talk to the people. And because at the end of the day, you listen not just for entertainment, for education. And there's so many things in that world that I don't know. So I listen to shows that will tell me. So I just want. I'm not here to attack anybody. I'm not here to say bad things about anybody. I'm here to just invite people to be more curious and to understand how things work and to form their own opinion and not just give up to, oh, this is the way it is. We can't change anything, because if you said that nothing will change, and then you will come up tomorrow and you will complain about why things are not changing.It just needs to start from asking questions. Yeah, asking questions. Open your mind, and I will be more than happy to come back again and talk about. I'm sure that you can have so many questions, so many rebuttals, like, ask him this, ask him that, and I'm happy to come. And if he would get me on the show again, and I'm happy to speak. You see how we talked? It was nothing. There's nothing threatening of what we did today.Yeah.There's nothing anti semitic. There's nothing islamophobic. We didn't. We didn't go and attack people from different faces. We just talk about politics. And I might be wrong, but prove me wrong.Oh, yeah. Bassem, thank you so much, man.Thank you so much. I appreciate you.Yeah. Inshallah. What do people say?Inshallah is like, if God wills.If God wills.If God wills?Inshallah.Inshallah.Inshallah.Inshallah.Inshallah.I would say inshallah.Inshallah.Yeah, that's it. Amazing.Inshallah. Yes, you can.People can find you basim, Yusuf, XYZ, or basim at instagram. I'm starting my montreal. I'm coming 20 July. Then I'm going a whole american tour in Florida. Chicago, Minneapolis, San Francisco. Chicago, Minneapolis. I said that. Yeah. Tampa, Orlando, Toronto. So I'll see you guys.Marvelous. Yeah. If you haven't seen this guy, watch his. Also his interview with Piers Morgan. It's insightful and interesting and funny, you know, and it's okay to say that, you know, we have to laugh in times of pain. That's why God put it into us. Thank you. Yeah. Just thank you so much for your time, brother.Thank you for having me. Thank you for the space. Thank you for accommodating me. I appreciate you. Love all of your listeners, guys. Love you all. Now I'm just falling on the breeze? And I feel I'm falling? Like these leaves? I must be cornerstone? Oh, but when I reach that ground? I'll share this piece of my life? I can feel it in my bones? But it's gonna take a little close.

[01:06:59]

liar, he's an anti semite. He hate Jews. Okay, what did he lie about? They will never give you details. What did he lie about. I'll give you an example. When I, on the second Piers Morgan interview, I went up to him and I gave him a story. I told him that israel used to give contraceptive pills to the ethiopian Jews, ethiopian jewish women who were immigrated from Ethiopia. And for more than 15 years, israel would give them contraceptive shots without them knowing. So they would sterilize them. They would not allow them to breathe because they are black.

[01:07:32]

Is that true? Yeah, dude, you know what I noticed, dude? I was in Atlanta at the Coca Cola factory or whatever, and you can. You can taste all the sodas from around the world. Look, is ethiopian women in Israel given contraceptive without consent? Huh?

[01:07:51]

Yeah. So Israel's. Leo, so when. When I. When I. Benjamin Netanyahu was in the government and he came out and he personally apologized. Right? So this is, this is, this is cut and dry. You cannot. And you know what happened? The Israelis on the x. Oh, he's a liar. That never happens. A guy. It's here. So this is. I'm just preparing you that every time you're gonna tell them something, they will tell you. Oh, it's a lie. It's a lie. Nobody said that. Nobody said that.

[01:08:17]

Well, a lot of that's just. Yeah, people will position themselves constantly. You know, it's like people are. Especially if people are up to no good. Nobody wants to get caught. Yes, a lot of times.

[01:08:31]

Yeah. It's like you saying something, somebody. You're racist. It's like, wait, what. What did I just said? That was race. Oh, no, you're racist. You're making me uncomfortable. Nobody cares.Well, people have thrown around some of those terms so many times, it's like the boy that cried wolf kind of, in a way, it's like you can't. I can't. You can't make it feel like I can't ask something or talk about something. Yeah, it just. Sometimes, it just. Sometimes some. Some of that stuff is strange and it's hard. I mean, some of this stuff is even hard to talk about because it's like, I the fact that they say, like, oh, we're doing this for Palestinians. We will get rid of Hamas for them, and the Palestinians will be grateful. And then I see the destructions. I see that, yeah, there's a lot of Palestinians who don't like Hamas, but you want to convince me that you want to destroy that place, and then you think those people that would be left would be okay with you.Do you think the palestinian people knew that Hamas was going to do this October?I don't think they knew. And of course, it's devastating for them. And. But it. And I wish the October 7 never happened. But again, we come back, it's like, how long can you take it? How long can you take the abuse, the land theft, the killing? At a certain point, you're gonna be desperate, and you're gonna be desperate against an. A very much more stronger enemy. Yeah, but isn't like. But when America revolted for tea, they revolted against a much stronger enemy. And I find it very interesting how everything in the american culture, you watch Star wars, you side with the rebels, you watch the Hunger Games, you side with the rebels, you go to Israel, you side with the oppressor, you don't side with the rebels, you don't side with the people with no weapons. You said, you don't side with the people with the machine guns, with the knives. You side the people with the military archives. Yeah, because they were deemed terrorists, less humans. Dehumanizing. See how they talk about Palestinians? They are death cults. They are terrorists.And what are Palestinians like?Like, normal people. Normal people. But they are living in a horrible condition. I married one of them.Oh, gosh.So I can report that she has no fangs or nails other than the nails that she does in the nails alone. So she's like a normal human being. And we have normal kids, and they don't turn into werewolves at night. They are normal people. They are normal people who have been in this land, and they were taken away from them. And this was a problem that was imported from a different continent, done by other perpetrators. They were rejected by other white people, and they were just, like, put on us, and it is terrible and it should not happen.So do Palestinians also have issues with Britain? And the US, then, probably.Of course.Yeah.Like, I don't think they have any time to have issues with anybody. They have time to survive. They're living in tents right now in Gaza, and the people who live in West bank are under threat to be killed or kicked out at any moment. And I just. I just want people to look at them as humans. Everybody who went to Gaza, everybody went to West bank, saw what happened, those people. And then we speak up. They're being shut down.Are you able to look at Israel as humans, too?Yes, but I asked. I look at everybody as humans, and I will not do the same mistake that they have been doing to us, dehumanizing us, calling us terrorists, but they are acting like terrorists.Why don't we give part of our country to Palestine?Why don't you give part of your country to jewish people?Oh, yeah. Why don't we give part of our country to one of the groups? At least that would help, I think.Maybe, but it's not. It's. It was.Or an island. What about that? What about. What if you did a merger? You did Palest Ireland?That's a good one. Yes.Do you think that's possible? Would now, would Palestine accept something like that? Where it's like, let's. Let's give this place.I'm not palestinian, so I cannot speak on their behalf, but I think Palestinians want to stay in their land, and I think many of those. This is. This is what drives me crazy, because it doesn't make any sense. Any jewish person all around the world, if you're like, a Polish Jewish, like an american Jewish, just because you're jewish, you can get the israeli passport right now. Right now. And once you get the passport, you can come from Brooklyn land into Israel, take a piece of land that was owned by a Palestinian right on the spot, or a home that is owned by a Palestinian, saying that this is your promised land.Like, what do you mean? You can walk into the house.You can just walk in the house and you can have videos of people taking their stuff and barging into a palestinian home in the West bank. It happens all the time. It doesn't make any sense. A Brooklyn Jew, just because he was born Jew, can just, like, go to Israel, take the passport and take a piece of land that is belonged to someone else, even now, as we speak. Does that make any sense?But most people wouldn't do that.Many people do that. Many people do that. On every single given day, you have planes with thousands of jewish people from all over the world. Coming from Eastern Europe, coming from Africa, coming from Latin America, coming in America and settling in the land setting and arab land.The palestinian people, do they have a police department?They have, like, they have something called the Palestinian Authority, which is an oxymoron, and they are called the Palestinian Authority. But show me an authority that has absolutely no say about the foreign people coming in and taking land from your people. Yeah, it's.My friend got a job at the airport and he was a little guy, right? And they gave him a billy club and it weighed him down that he was so little. He's like, he probably weighed 60 pounds, whatever.And I guess I think he's more effective, more than the Palestinian Authority. He has more power than there.The club dude, you'd see him run. He almost had to run sideways because the way the club would, like, shuffle and, like, block his legs.I wish it was that funny.What's the solution? There has to. You have to have some.The solution is to end the occupation, and the solution is that Israel should stop killing Palestinians, taking their land. It's as simple as that. Details what land, how much. Well, that's not my thing to say because I'm a comedian, not a politician. I'm not a Palestinian. There are palestinian politicians that can talk on their behalf, but I can tell you whatever is happening now is wrong, and I'm nothing. It's not my problem or my issue to come up with a solution because I didn't cause that crisis. It's someone else caused it. And it's not for me to fix it for them. But what I can say, what's happening is wrong.Are any american or british leaders and some of this stuff, I don't know, a ton. You know, I'm trying my best to learn. Is some american or british leaders trying to help negotiate that? Have we tried over the years to help?Yeah, but it's always been skewed towards Israel. What?Is that true, though?Yeah, yeah, yeah.And because both sides have rejected peace agreements, right?Yes, but one of them rejected it because basically you're giving them a very shitty deal and the other side rejected it because they want more. And now they're telling you, it's like, hey, you know what? Forget about the second state. Forget about two state solution. Even the Israeli say that it's all ours now.Forget what about, like, ladder and bloom or something? Who is, who is doing the, um, or remark or something? Who's the eight? Who's, who's negotiating at all?I don't know. There's no negotiation now. Like, Israel hasn't gone to the negotiation table for the past 20 years.Like, is Gaza on zillow? No.I think if there's Zillow's.I'm just joking. Is that offensive?Oh, my God. No, no, no. And I learned to layer to life about everything. It's like, I think I. Zillow's like.Here'S the thing. If it's not on Zillow, I don't think you can take it.However, it's not in Zillow. It's not. Oh, wow.But I think one thing about a lot of my jewish friends, I notice is they do a good job of working together.You know, jewish people are great business people, and I don't want to kind of be the guy who said, hey, I have black friends. But, like, honestly, like, my agents, my mentors, managers, and they all come from companies that are overwhelmingly jewish people. And I have no problem dealing with it. My utmost friend. And the guy that I look up to is Jon Stewart, and he's the reason why I'm known to America. When I came on disagree with the kind of, some of the situation there? Is that kind of tough sometimes it.Is tough for them. I have a lot of jewish friends who are in disagreement with their parents, who are pretty much zionist. And they are. They don't agree with that.And as zionist. What is it again?Just give me 1 second. Okay. According to jewish people or zionist people, it is just simply the. Having a national state of Israel in the Middle east. That's basically. Butis too heavy. But for the people who are interested, what you did is to bring a problem that affects us, whether we like it or not. And I'm happy that you're bringing a rabbi to speak on a totally opposite level.

[01:08:59]

Nobody cares.

[01:09:00]

Well, people have thrown around some of those terms so many times, it's like the boy that cried wolf kind of, in a way, it's like you can't. I can't. You can't make it feel like I can't ask something or talk about something. Yeah, it just. Sometimes, it just. Sometimes some. Some of that stuff is strange and it's hard.

Love you all. Now I'm just falling on the breeze? And I feel I'm falling? Like these leaves? I must be cornerstone? Oh, but when I reach that ground? I'll share this piece of my life? I can feel it in my bones? But it's gonna take a little close.

[01:31:06]

the fact that they say, like, oh, we're doing this for Palestinians. We will get rid of Hamas for them, and the Palestinians will be grateful. And then I see the destructions. I see that, yeah, there's a lot of Palestinians who don't like Hamas, but you want to convince me that you want to destroy that place, and then you think those people that would be left would be okay with you.

[01:31:27]

Do you think the palestinian people knew that Hamas was going to do this October?

[01:31:31]

I don't think they knew. And of course, it's devastating for them. And. But it. And I wish the October 7 never happened. But again, we come back, it's like, how long can you take it?

You said, you don't side with the people with the machine guns, with the knives. You side the people with the military archives. Yeah, because they were deemed terrorists, less humans. Dehumanizing. See how they talk about Palestinians? They are death cults. They are terrorists.

[01:32:34]

And what are Palestinians like?

[01:32:36]

Like, normal people. Normal people. But they are living in a horrible condition. I married one of them.

[01:32:41]

Oh, gosh.

[01:32:41]

So I can report that she has no fangs or nails other than the nails that she does in the nails alone. So she's like a normal human being. And we have normal kids, and they don't turn into werewolves at night. They are normal people. They are normal people who have been in this land, and they were taken away from them. And this was a problem that was imported from a different continent, done by other perpetrators. They were rejected by other white people, and they were just, like, put on us, and it is terrible and it should not happen.

[01:33:12]

So do Palestinians also have issues with Britain? And the US, then, probably.

[01:33:15]

Of course.

[01:33:16]

Yeah.

[01:33:16]

Like, I don't think they have any time to have issues with anybody. They have time to survive. They're living in tents right now in Gaza, and the people who live in West bank are under threat to be killed or kicked out at any moment. And I just. I just want people to look at them as humans. Everybody who went to Gaza, everybody went to West bank, saw what happened, those people. And then we speak up. They're being shut down.

[01:33:40]

Are you able to look at Israel as humans, too?

[01:33:43]

Yes, but I asked. I look at everybody as humans, and I will not do the same mistake that they have been doing to us, dehumanizing us, calling us terrorists, but they are acting like terrorists.

[01:33:55]

Why don't we give part of our country to Palestine?

[01:34:01]

Why don't you give part of your country to jewish people?

[01:34:05]

Oh, yeah. Why don't we give part of our country to one of the groups? At least that would help, I think.

[01:34:11]

Maybe, but it's not. It's. It was.

[01:34:13]

Or an island. What about that? What about. What if you did a merger? You did Palest Ireland?

[01:34:18]

That's a good one. Yes.

[01:34:20]

Do you think that's possible? Would now, would Palestine accept something like that? Where it's like, let's. Let's give this place.

[01:34:27]

I'm not palestinian, so I cannot speak on their behalf, but I think Palestinians want to stay in their land, and I think many of those. This is. This is what drives me crazy, because it doesn't make any sense. Any jewish person all around the world, if you're like, a Polish Jewish, like an american Jewish, just because you're jewish, you can get the israeli passport right now. Right now. And once you get the passport, you can come from Brooklyn land into Israel, take a piece of land that was owned by a Palestinian right on the spot, or a home that is owned by a Palestinian, saying that this is your promised land.

[01:35:03]

Like, what do you mean? You can walk into the house.

[01:35:05]

You can just walk in the house and you can have videos of people taking their stuff and barging into a palestinian home in the West bank. It happens all the time. It doesn't make any sense. A Brooklyn Jew, just because he was born Jew, can just, like, go to Israel, take the passport and take a piece of land that is belonged to someone else, even now, as we speak. Does that make any sense?

[01:35:25]

But most people wouldn't do that.

[01:35:26]

Many people do that. Many people do that. On every single given day, you have planes with thousands of jewish people from all over the world. Coming from Eastern Europe, coming from Africa, coming from Latin America, coming in America and settling in the land setting and arab land.

[01:35:43]

The palestinian people, do they have a police department?

[01:35:46]

They have, like, they have something called the Palestinian Authority, which is an oxymoron, and they are called the Palestinian Authority. But show me an authority that has absolutely no say about the foreign people coming in and taking land from your people. Yeah, it's.

[01:36:03]

My friend got a job at the airport and he was a little guy, right? And they gave him a billy club and it weighed him down that he was so little. He's like, he probably weighed 60 pounds, whatever.

[01:36:13]

And I guess I think he's more effective, more than the Palestinian Authority. He has more power than there.

[01:36:18]

The club dude, you'd see him run. He almost had to run sideways because the way the club would, like, shuffle and, like, block his legs.

[01:36:25]

I wish it was that funny.

[01:36:27]

What's the solution? There has to. You have to have some.

[01:36:30]

The solution is to end the occupation, and the solution is that Israel should stop killing Palestinians, taking their land. It's as simple as that. Details what land, how much. Well, that's not my thing to say because I'm a comedian, not a politician. I'm not a Palestinian. There are palestinian politicians that can talk on their behalf, but I can tell you whatever is happening now is wrong, and I'm nothing. It's not my problem or my issue to come up with a solution because I didn't cause that crisis. It's someone else caused it. And it's not for me to fix it for them. But what I can say, what's happening is wrong.

[01:37:03]

Are any american or british leaders and some of this stuff, I don't know, a ton. You know, I'm trying my best to learn. Is some american or british leaders trying to help negotiate that? Have we tried over the years to help?

[01:37:15]

Yeah, but it's always been skewed towards Israel. What?

[01:37:18]

Is that true, though?

[01:37:20]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[01:37:22]

And because both sides have rejected peace agreements, right?

[01:37:25]

Yes, but one of them rejected it because basically you're giving them a very shitty deal and the other side rejected it because they want more. And now they're telling you, it's like, hey, you know what? Forget about the second state. Forget about two state solution. Even the Israeli say that it's all ours now.

[01:37:40]

Forget what about, like, ladder and bloom or something? Who is, who is doing the, um, or remark or something? Who's the eight? Who's, who's negotiating at all?

[01:37:50]

I don't know. There's no negotiation now. Like, Israel hasn't gone to the negotiation table for the past 20 years.

[01:37:55]

Like, is Gaza on zillow? No.

[01:37:58]

I think if there's Zillow's.

[01:38:03]

I'm just joking. Is that offensive?

[01:38:05]

Oh, my God. No, no, no. And I learned to layer to life about everything. It's like, I think I. Zillow's like.

[01:38:14]

Here'S the thing. If it's not on Zillow, I don't think you can take it.

[01:38:17]

However, it's not in Zillow. It's not. Oh, wow.

[01:38:20]

But I think one thing about a lot of my jewish friends, I notice is they do a good job of working together.

[01:38:26]

You know, jewish people are great business people, and I don't want to kind of be the guy who said, hey, I have black friends. But, like, honestly, like, my agents, my mentors, managers, and they all come from companies that are overwhelmingly jewish people. And I have no problem dealing with it. My utmost friend. And the guy that I look up to is Jon Stewart, and he's the reason why I'm known to America. When I came on disagree with the kind of, some of the situation there? Is that kind of tough sometimes it.Is tough for them. I have a lot of jewish friends who are in disagreement with their parents, who are pretty much zionist. And they are. They don't agree with that.And as zionist. What is it again?Just give me 1 second. Okay. According to jewish people or zionist people, it is just simply the. Having a national state of Israel in the Middle east. That's basically. Butis too heavy. But for the people who are interested, what you did is to bring a problem that affects us, whether we like it or not. And I'm happy that you're bringing a rabbi to speak on a totally opposite level. And I'm happy that when people have more questions, you bring more people to speak to you. I'm happy to come back again and talk to the people. And because at the end of the day, you listen not just for entertainment, for education. And there's so many things in that world that I don't know. So I listen to shows that will tell me. So I just want. I'm not here to attack anybody. I'm not here to say bad things about anybody. I'm here to just invite people to be more curious and to understand how things work and to form their own opinion and not just give up to, oh, this is the way it is. We can't change anything, because if you said that nothing will change, and then you will come up tomorrow and you will complain about why things are not changing.It just needs to start from asking questions. Yeah, asking questions. Open your mind, and I will be more than happy to come back again and talk about. I'm sure that you can have so many questions, so many rebuttals, like, ask him this, ask him that, and I'm happy to come. And if he would get me on the show again, and I'm happy to speak. You see how we talked? It was nothing. There's nothing threatening of what we did today.Yeah.There's nothing anti semitic. There's nothing islamophobic. We didn't. We didn't go and attack people from different faces. We just talk about politics. And I might be wrong, but prove me wrong.Oh, yeah. Bassem, thank you so much, man.Thank you so much. I appreciate you.Yeah. Inshallah. What do people say?Inshallah is like, if God wills.If God wills.If God wills?Inshallah.Inshallah.Inshallah.Inshallah.Inshallah.I would say inshallah.Inshallah.Yeah, that's it. Amazing.Inshallah.

Also his interview with Piers Morgan. It's insightful and interesting and funny, you know, and it's okay to say that, you know, we have to laugh in times of pain. That's why God put it into us. Thank you. Yeah. Just thank you so much for your time, brother.Thank you for having me. Thank you for the space. Thank you for accommodating me. I appreciate you. Love all of your listeners, guys. Love you all. Now I'm just falling on the breeze? And I feel I'm falling? Like these leaves? I must be cornerstone? Oh, but when I reach that ground? I'll share this piece of my life? I can feel it in my bones? But it's gonna take a little close.

[01:47:20]

[01:47:25]
