That was a very good analysis Always as a youngester was afraid of being a radical myself as a devouted Muslim , then the more i grewup n reading into Islam the more i realised that knowing the truth (from my point of view) n adhering to it doesn't make the Other in the wrong but infact the more devouted Muslims were in their history the more they embraced others opinions n civilisations without compromising their own n that was really genius ; And I'm not speaking about "takkia" or whatever bs some haters claim , that was in the peak of the Islamic civilisations. We don't think that we are superior to nonmuslims ; we feel blessed to be Muslims n always afraid for this to be taken away, because it can, we don't think that only we can enter the Gardens n we don't think that all other people should be Muslims or forced to be because God told us that he did create us as diverses n we should get to know n learn about each others.

It's really impressive how you handled this. Kuddos.

[@nebula1400]

We need to find out what the hecklers do for a living so we can go heckle them on their jobs! You handled them beautifully. So looking forward to seeing you next month!

Way to spread peace and harmony.

[@vedarovski4110]

He was talking in a calming voice in a topic like this. Best way to talk about the truth!

[@mikeregan3174]

Brilliant work Sammy. Damn, just bloody brilliant.

[@Chitownreader]

You handled that crowd like a pro omg!!!

[@jackross956]

Some people in the audience sounded like they were ready to blow a fuse if he kept talking about Palestine 😂😂😂

[@akmal94ibrahim]

Yep. That guy wasn't bored about it. He was upset and triggered by the truth of it.

[@quintrankid8045]

@@akmal94ibrahim Or maybe he figured he went there for some laughs and to relax. if he wanted to get serious about the conflict he could come to youtube.

[@atiffarhan619]

​@@quintrankid8045so he didn't knew about the comedian, he paid a random comedian without knowing about his content.

[@voicesoul5951]

That was actual magic! Mastery of comedy, crowd work, group management and deescalation while still keeping your artistic and activist integrity. Even Chat GPT would just say - Enough is enough bro! Let my people goooooo!! Amazing!

Free Palastine 🎉

[@bcx1138]

it’s insane that someone would get mad at just a reference to 75 years ago the nakba.

[@ylie4702]

I have never feeled so outraged, angry, in disbelieve, in awe, the respect towards you sammy. I respect how you handled this. Wauw!!❤

[@ruth888888]

I really admire you, Sammy! And I can’t decide weather I admire more your humor or your patience!! Please, come to Europe! 🙏🏽

[@SammyObeidComedy]

See you in July!

[@Q8Caffeinated]

I have never been this tense watching a standup gig; the way Sammy matrix-dodged and navigated this whole thing was SSS level. Masterfully done. 👏

[@hawkeyetokyo3692]

And the Grammy for best fight scene and best Stan up comedy show goes for . . . Sammy Obeid!. Undoubtedly a graceful and powerful performance.

[@veralegendi9098]

Huh, I was a bit worried at first but Sammy managed the situation very well. It's so great that he didn't get angry but kept teaching and joking to help them relax and understand. I had lots of laughs too. First class! Thank you!

[@MRM_241]

Dude you handled this like a boss. I would lose family and friends for half of what these people said. It's hard to grasp how evil people can be.

[@adeelb3678]

The bald guy became a VP at some conglomerate after this.

[@saharhumayun466]

Sammy, so much respect for you. Your courage, your passion for Palestine, your patience, and by God, your intelligence! Such a big fan, and making dua for you that this weighs heavy in your scale for standing up for the truth in the face of such antagonism.

[@absiddique139]

From the river to the sea Palestine will be Free. 🕊🇵🇸♥️🇧🇩🕊

[@rachelgeorge6294]

The invaders have no place in Palestine. They should leave Palestine and live under the constitution of the country they immigrated like every other immigrants. Don’t expect others to accept you as superior to other immigrants!

[@j.r.r.tolkien8724]

I'm fully on board with that. Apartheid states must not exist in this and age.

[@kosmok.3825]

Genocide in one phrase. Hilarious.

[@NikkMikk]

@@kosmok.3825 but the actual one going on right now is probably fine with you......sick

[@kosmok.3825]

@@NikkMikk no both sides are evil..but only one side is calling for the extermination of an entire race. That’s absolutely disgusting.

[@mhqqiqin_]

I love the part where Sammy is actually try to calm the crowds down but people still punching in with their words which is actually in support of Sammy's statement. And I can feel like he want to say "thank you but can you please shut up so I can handle this myself" 😂

[@RudyVisuals]

Honestly, kudos to you for your bravery and integrity.

[@hinaz85]

Dude you need to do a TED talk on how to stay confident with lifeless crowd

[@debstrozier]

When will all this ignorance, misunderstanding and hatred end? In my worst nightmares it will never end, but I hope I'm wrong. I hope love and justice will eventually prevail. Remember itt is within our possibilities.

[@abdulrafay6319]

Man.... may Allah bless you for talking on this topic especially with the amount of resistance you get. Ameen

[@carloa2500]

Wow. I am impressed how you handle the crowd. Thanks for what you do ❤

[@DraeganSkye]

So sorry you had to deal with this, Sammy. I hope you have extensive self care practices after shows like this. Much love. ❤🖤🤍💚

[@peterhoovestol8464]

17 years, he’s handled it all, and with this topic, I was floored the whole time. Great job, bro

[@fathana.m8063]

Holy shit, props to you for turning a difficult situation around. You're an amazing person

[@igorchiandetti5981]

Kudos on how you handled the situation. You have all my respect. It's admirable how you can entertain so intelligently on such sensitive matters.

[@igorchiandetti5981]

of course I'm referring to the sex jokes😂

[@jashanestone]

You are extremely good.. To get the hecklers to clap at the end and leave less offended? Is remarkable 👏🏽 👌 🙌 ❤

[@Blueli0nesss]

Sammy you're so brave among all these people. Keep standing up for Palestine and keep spreading awareness. Looking at the audience's reaction towards the end, it looked like you already changed their mind. If not , they are definitely going to think about it after going home.

[@jameshawksley5893]

A master class in crowd control while still speaking your truth.

[@Chrysalis616]

The way you called out the people for trying to leave right when you were trying to solve the disagreement was absolutely priceless. You should never have to have so much strength, and it’s admirable you do. Love and healing to you and yours ♥️

[@idoF]

2 things I want to say about this video: 1. Kudos for publishing a video of a gig who dosen't go well. I don't know any other comedian who would do such a thing. 2. Good job in handling a rough crowd. Again, don't know many comedians who could pull off such a thing. Writing this as a proud (yet friendly) Israeli (sorry for yelling).

[@FoxSullivan]

Hopefully you're safe man... I know how hard anything that is not pro genocide has been targeted so far.

[@aasimsyed5828]

Really impressed with your crowd work with how heated it got in there. Much respect to ya.

[@MrKingtheo]

You are a friggin legend. I would be high in emotion if I were you and you handled it SO WELL!!! Comedy is the remedy this world needs ❤

[@jeanniefarr2108]

You are so brave and truthful Sammy. Keep speaking to Americans who are in their own tribe.

[@debraleighscott]

There are plenty of us in the US who support Palestinian rights, demand immediate ceasefire and agree that Israel is an apartheid state guilty of war crimes, including genocide. Bless you, Sammy! You were powerful!

[@wesfrance1]

Wow man, if this is a bad day on the job, you’re doing great!

[@abtechhacks4734]

It takes immense Courage to do what you're doing. I myself wouldn't have been able to do this. To state your narrative in the face of outright opposition even though a majority supported you , it is not easy to do. More Power to you man , keep doing what you're doing and yeah Free Palestine 🇵🇸❤️🇵🇸

[@mohamedidris9177]

The way you handled the situation is exemplary. Spontaneity is a big plus for you. Wish you all the best!
