Fiery Israel-Palestine Debate with Bassem Youssef

At 58:32 to 58:44, Bassem Youssef mistakenly stated that Robert Spencer is the founder of the "alt-right," whose followers chanted, "Jews will not replace us." What he meant to say was Richard Spencer, who is widely understood to be the founder of the "alt-right." Triggernometry apologises for not correcting this during the interview or in post-production.

Quote from Zuheir Mohsen a senior member of the Palestine Liberation Organization, "There's no such thing as a separate Palestinian people, there's no difference between Jordanians Palestinians Syrians... the Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons. The creation of a Palestinian state is a new instrument in our ongoing war against the state of Israel and for the purpose of our Arab unity. "Mohsen himself stated that there were "no differences between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians, and Lebanese", though Palestinian identity would be emphasised for political reasons. In a March 1977 interview with the Dutch newspaper Trouw he stated that "between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese there are no differences. We are all part of one people, the Arab nation [...] Just for political reasons we carefully underwrite our Palestinian identity. Because it is of national interest for the Arabs to advocate the existence of Palestinians to balance Zionism. Yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons", representing the Ba'athist perceptive regarding the question of Palestine"

[@Liormakescoffee]

The bombing of Dresden and most death were civilians. Israel has done almost an impossible job trying to eliminate militants who fight in residential and highly populated civilian population. Israel has managed to kill between 1:1-4 militants per civilian, this number proves that the whole 30,000 people killed is just avoiding that at least 1\4 of them are militants. It makes any other accusation of Israel targeting civilians utterly irrelevant. 33,000 thousand deaths that even the un confirmed around 10,000 of whom are unreliable and the real number stands on around 25,000 which based on IDF ID and precise targeting around 12,000 plus hamas members have died. 33,000 killings? seriously? no date to confirm that? no info about misfires? friendly fire? militants? or basically anything that proves that any militants died? have you seen uploaded IDF footage of them killing hamas\PIJ it just proves this number is there just to delegitamize Israel without considering they either killed or imprisoned more militants per civilian in any other war in existence pretty much. keep shoving the numbers in everyone face it doesn't make Israel any less moral

[@mansd5131]

Well, i can explain it to you. Firstly, South Sudan’s conflict is basically a civil war between the former infantry military division that has gone rogue, against the present government. Basically it’s the guys who were once part of the government system, so it’s not one ethnic group killing another, it’s politicians fighting for total control over the country. Secondly, Gaza has far more attention because IDF has already killed 203 aid workers, which is more than killed in South Sudan and Ukraine combined, and it does bring a lot of attention of the international community. Thirdly, people have more attention to conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine, because a large portion of the money that is funding these wars, comes from all over the world, and people are interested on why their money goes to fund Israel, or Ukraine. And fourth reason is the level of destruction. Ukraine and Gaza are getting heavily bombed unlike Sudan, and international health organisations are stating that 80% of Gazas infrastructure and 93% of Mariupols infrastructure are destroyed and turned into rubble. That’s why unfortunately not too many people talk about Sudan.

The sad truth is that no matter how hard you try to hear the other side's arguments it is always gonna fuel someone's bias in either side, creating more divison. When i hear Mosab Hassan talking about how he was raised being indoctrinated by hamas on hating the jews and how he was rescued by israel, how kind they were to him, how the IDF operates always minimizing civilian casualities, it realy looks like the palestinians are the bad ones here and Isarael is justified to act in any matter they see fit. But then you hear Bassem Youssef saying how consistently IDF soldiers are misstreating palestinians in a daily basis, which makes you question if actions on their part, like october 7th are also expected and actually justified. What I think is that there are people on both sides that act with the intention of provoking the other, because they are either morally or monetarily incentivised, because the perpetuation of this conflict must benefict someone.

If I was asked this I would answer simply and directly. Cut off all funding to isr. Cut off all weaponry. Bring the entire weight of international law upon isr leadership and bring them up on war crimes. Then make isr fund the full rehabilitation of all areas destroyed. Fully fund modern education and fully fund access to nutrionally dense food and work opportunities. It does not matter what toll it takes on isr economy. They earned this. They should he held accountable for creating the monster which retaliated against them on Oct 7 after generations of brutal occupation and inhumane treatment.

No Muslims could have possibly destroyed the Second Temple, for it was destroyed in 70 AD by the Roman Empire under the command of future emperor Titus Flavius Vespasianus, son of Titus Flavius Vespasianus (yes, his dad had the same name), who besieged Jerusalem with Rome's 5th, 7th and 15th legions. This happened 500 years before the birth of Muhammad, and some 552 years before the traditional date of the founding of Islam.
