[@harisnuman3538]

Iranian propaganda much?

[@savagesurpreme7856]

No the Iranians feared the normalization of Israel with the Muslim world the American government had worked hard to normalize ties between Israel and the Muslim world Jordan tried to help the Palestinians but a situation called black September which the Palestinians tried to overthrow the Jordanian government Egypt tried multiple times but found Gaza full of terrorist Israel was finally gonna normalize ties but Iran which backed Hamas started a war because if the surrounding Muslim nations normalize ties Iran no longer has any power It would be the norm to do business with Israel thus strengthening their adversary Now even as Christian and through extension a Jew. This war was what Israel was waiting for Islamic nations will have no choice but to eventually normalize ties

[@savagesurpreme7856]

A reason to take more land and also most of Americans support Israel buddy like 76%

[@savagesurpreme7856]

Then the Angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said: “I led you up from Egypt and brought you to the land of which I swore to your fathers; and I said, ‘I will never break My covenant with you. 2 And you shall make no [a]covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you shall tear down their altars.’ But you have not obeyed My voice. Why have you done this? 3 Therefore I also said, ‘I will not drive them out before you; but they shall be thorns[b] in your side, and their gods shall [c]be a snare to you.’ ” 4 So it was, when the Angel of the Lord spoke these words to all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voices and wept.

Great guest for your first podcast. His knowledge of geopolitics and his Imán are powerful.

[@sovereign_888]

Can’t wait for the permanent ceasefire & to celebrate Palestine Independence Day soon. I’m sure the beautiful Palestinian people will be OK if we celebrate in unity globally in solidarity ❤

[@Zeneb-ub3gy]

❤🫒🍉🇵🇸

[@24zayn]

They will absolutely be celebrating with the world, remember in our thousands, in our millions, we are ALL Palestinians! 🎉 The Palestinians would invite us into their homes to celebrate with them! ❤ InshAllah the day is coming soon. Victory is near 🤲🏻

[@swordoftree]

Independence will not come without a war of independence. No one will give you your own country freely, specially not without a fight. Palestinians so far have not shown enough determination to fight to the death for an independent Palestinian state. They are still expecting other nations to fight for them and give them Palestine. And even after Palestinians do get their own country by some miracle, almost immediately after they will rip each other apart fighting over who should rule the new country. Just look at all the other countries around the world that have become independent.

[@savagesurpreme7856]

There will be no Palestine most likely they cannot rule themselves

[@TepurangaHeremaia-ce4qe]

​@@swordoftreeYou seem like a warpig minded dude. Are you a colonial Anglo-Saxon spunk baby by chance?

[@humeratagada9573]

An excellent conversation and a deep insight as always. The reality & horror of this crisis not just the 75 years of Occupation but the greed, arrogance, betrayal and ignorance of our Muslim leaders watching innocent Palestinian civilians slaughtered, butchered, starved & denying basic human essentials. The so called idea of prosperity & growth in these Muslim lands, when/if its been achieved in the future, What would be the full cost of this GROWTH & PROSPERITY?

[@ankhmorpok1497]

You can only say this because you don't live in these countries. They need to prioritise prosperity for their own people.

[@humeratagada9573]

@@ankhmorpok1497 Prosperity & growth of any person or population living in any part of the world at the expense of other person or population’s life is an illusion of success & progress.

Excellently done! 👏👏👏 This was an amazing first episode. Sami Hamdi is a very logical political analyst with a vast array of experiences. I'm glad that you chose him to be on your show. Looking forward to many more episodes in the future. 🇵🇸 🇵🇸 🇵🇸 🇵🇸 🇵🇸 🇵🇸 🇵🇸 FREE, FREE 🍉 🕊 🫒 🇵🇸 🇵🇸 🇵🇸 🇵🇸 🇵🇸 🇵🇸 🇵🇸

[@zidane3250]

this interview is mind boggling. I knew Sami as a journalist in Almustakillah, but never as an analyst. I hope you’ll do another interview with him.

[@awabicamazon]

What an incredible conversation. I learned so much about the state of the surrounding countries and the reasoning of their leaderships choices. Thank you

[@underworldblu]

So depressing and, at the same time, enlightening. Education is key to understand a way forward. The way forward does not include the current leaders. Surprisingly, Iran has a solid plan and that’s why they seem to have a great advantage.

[@user-et2ng1qb2m]

The Irani's have self respect and refuse to be under the foot of Western Imperialism.

[@rebellerevelle]

This guy knows the in's and out's of Middle East political dynamics like no one I've heard so far. Can someone put him in charge of fixing these complex problems please? Great first episode. Very informative. Keep it up!

[@mustafaal-samarraie7270]

no, despite his geopolitical knowledge and value , his Islam driven opinions and advice doesn't suit the aims of the arab governments , thus they won't consult with the likes of him , despite the fact that the western states they're trying to imitate are doing so. also , why would they consult someone who's advice would lead to the empowerment of the muslim identity when they're actively trying to get rid of it?

[@mysticaltech]

Sami knows the middle east unlike anyone else I have heard. This dude thinks in 4D!

[@yanivreif7379]

What a great interview. Keep them coming. Free Palestine

[@faizanazeez7001]

Sami plz explain why Saddam had invaded Iran. How had Iran posed a threat to Iraq? I think what is happening now can be understood better if we the explore and understand the reasons behind the Iraq-Iran war.

[@ankhmorpok1497]

Saddam was threatened by Khomeini using Iraqi Shai majority to overthrow his minority Sunni rule.

[@The_Sufi_110]

@@ankhmorpok1497 The Americans fooled Saddam to attack Iran. You can either stick with the common sunni narrative, or go through history by yourself and see the documents that now exist about how America encouraged him to attack. And then the same Americans annihilated him when he proved to be useless.

[@SohailJafar1]

Great interview. Sami >>> Jackson any day. Be careful of who you interview bro, you can’t use your excuse of “hearing all sides/views” for everything. May Allah ﷻ help you on that and may He ﷻ bless you for your efforts, Ameen.

[@dzavid6077]

It's infuriating to hear that the mid-east leaders are in the enemy camp, I hope they never achieve their objectives by siding with them at the cost of palestinian lives. They lost all moral values of the custodianship of sacred places

What has Allah got to do with it?

[@hamzahharris4143]

Where's ep2?. I've been waiting for too long.

[@talhaahsanlondon]

I saw the clips appearing prior to this. Presenter has Lex Fridman vibes. He appears to have done his research to ask intelligent instead of inane questions. I saw the skit too. Musical satire takes talents and effort. Unlike many of the tacky-akhi- content-creation-click-funnel-marketing-mediocrity on KZbin, this dude seems to be bright and promising. I pray he does not disappoint.

[@ecode5225]

Sami, you are right the Abras leader has all the powers at their disposal to make an end to this ongoing g€nodice but they choose not to use it. The issue is done dusted when they say no to Western Imperialism. They have failed the Ummah. For sure a leader will emerge soon who will fight injustice. Thank for you your insightful and deep conversation.

[@OumarSL]

Mashallah so wiseness and deep inderstanding of the situation from SAMI, do he have any youtube channel ?

[@theemeraldcity94]

Feeling sad for the current state of the ummah. I was hopeful to hear of some support for the innocent people of Palestine,instead I am now worried for all sincere Muslims. Our scholars are not even able to speak out for fear of being jailed or killed. Without the guidance of scholars this ummah will be in a worse situation. Alhumdulilah Allah will replace those who reject faith with people that will love Islam and do whatever is necessary for victory Inshaa Allah. Ramadan is coming soon Inshaa Allah, We have the power of Dua let’s make use of it.

Alhamdulillah

[@Daemon_Fruit]

Superb, absolutely superb

[@DailyDeen12]

Good work. Brilliant podcast. But why is there like an annoying beat in the background?

[@WhiteTigerVII]

When you asked the guest about the line Jordan, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia created to send food to Israel, he took the question into a whole different story of justifications, just like most of his answers were for Turkey. I find it interesting that, out of nowhere, he also took shots at Egypt before talking about Turkey with no needed reasons; actually, that’s the only thing that was said about Egypt, and it was in a negative light. There is no justification for anyone who has the power to stand with Gaza and is betraying them.

[@razorforever5713]

One correction Ahmed, around 200 hez fighters have lost life not 100

[@12345okashah]

[@duazeglam2000]

I wish we had an well educated leader like him that will raise this Aumah

[@user-xj9si7vf8k]

Ma sha Allah.well explained we wonder where are The Arabs and Muslims Good answers walahi Sami gave They r either selfishly powerfully arrogant; UAE &Saudi . Or at stuck position:Sisi Erdagon King Abdallah Noone will pat a finger 😢 Sad !!!

[@amerbinjarrah4427]

can you invite him again to talk about sudan. very hard to understand whats going on due to the fog of war there. TIA

[@HamzaAliraqi81]

❤❤

[@vmoses1979]

Great analysis Sami. I completely disagree that Iran or its proxies pose an existential threat to Saudi Arabia. Iran has been under sanctions and embargoes since 1979. The fact that Iran has Shia proxies in the region shows its perception that it is the country facing hostile Arab neighbors with massive US bases and thus its clerical regime faces an existential crisis. Saudi needs a longterm accommodation with Iran and now that both are in BRICS that may be more likely. A correction near the end - El Sisi did not go to Somalia - the Somali President came to Cairo.

[@abdlahm1384]

does anyone know where i can find the article he's talking about at 49:32

This cost of life of the Palestinians just breaks me. The betrayal of its surrounding countries is just nauseating.

47:27 this is what every single muslims take should be. mashallah sami hamdi really is the true voice of the ummah Thank you for not only soeaking our against israel genocide as well as irans destruction of iraq, syria and lebanon

[@The_Sufi_110]

From time to time I resent the fact that the Shia is offering its blood so generously so then people like you could be free of the west. So many beautiful souls of our youth are getting killed, the cream of the crop of our military getting killed for defending Palestine. Our entire country is under sanctions, at a time that the west would throw all leaders in region to trash, in favor of an alliance with Iran. We could have been richer than any country in the region. Yet we stayed true to the cause, just to hear your annoying opinions.

[@SultanMirBeats]

hes totally not biased, i mean hes arguing on behalf of turkey and jordan, but downplays syria hezbollah and iran, as if they are not the only ones fighting this also houthis, the axis is the only force doing anything im sunni by the way but sunni leadership are yahoodi servants its just facts.

[@blususpect]

The Gulf region really is in such a sad state of affairs, I’m glad I left right before the UAE normalized with the occupation. I really can’t see myself going back there, Dubai will always hold a special place in my heart tho.

[@StraussBR]

I agree with his view that Iran is a threat to the Saudi King, the problem is maybe the kingdom only exists in the current shape and form because it was maintained and guaranteed based on forces that reside outside of the region, is not only that Iran threatens it but it is also inherently unstable because of the lack of a project for the region and a lack of leadership for the arabs overall, i am surprised so many arab countries speak the same language, have the same religion, eat same foods, and yet they were completely dominated, look at other big countries such as China they speak several languages but they had a leadership some time ago that united them into a more or less coherent nation that is what the arabs need, but they will never get it when the oil is over all that money would have been for nothing

[@The_Sufi_110]

Pride is the problem, they cannot see the Ezzah of Shia. We offer blood and youth for the cause, just to be talked about like that by people like Hamdi. They make a geopolitics podcast of the region and it doesn’t even include Iran in it :D Mr. Hamdi sits in UK, earns good money pays good tax, and then looks down on Iran with ignorance. The brain must have a certain capacity to accept the truth, these guys cannot comprehend why chemical attacks were done by western secret services not Asad, not Iran.
