That's because you don't know the history of the region. There are so many distortions in his interview that are very easy to debunk. He clearly made his homework, so I can’t say he is miss informed. But I can tell he is knowingly lying. He uses many examples to solidify his argument but does it distortedly, knowing Pierce's lack of knowledge won’t be a problem for him to do so. I can easily go over every point Bassem raised and debunk it completely. He is a fantastic liar-excellent performance.

[@nicbentulan]

PLEASE tell me - is fabiano caruana jewish?

[@FobusHolsters]

@@nicbentulan why is it relevant?

[@nicbentulan]

@@FobusHolsters Great question. I'm trying to prove that Magnus Carlsen, a fake former world chess champion, a TALENTLESS patzer and a hypocritical cheater, is also a racist against Jewish-or-American players including fabiano Caruana, hans niemann, Ben Finegold, et al. I know those 3 are American but if they're also Jewish then that gives me more ammunition against Magnus. I'm kinda like Putin: I am a gentile, and I don't hate Jews. I'd be a huge hypocrite if I did. I'm doing the polar opposite of evil, assuming we're both evil - I'm utilising anti-jewish sentiment / anti-semitism as a weapon in claiming that my enemy hates Jews so that allies of Jews will side with me. I don't really care about Jews. But I definitely don't hate them. But Jews and I have a common enemy so they should side with me. I'm using Jews to boost my agenda. Putin has an agenda with Ukraine / Zelenskyy. I similarly have an agenda against Magnus because I want to put Wesley So up by putting Magnus down. People think I'm Jewish or American like Wesley, Hans, Fabi & Ben Finegold. Actually I'm a dual citizen of Hong Kong and the Philippines. So an Indian named Atul Kumar told me that I'm a hypocrite because Wesley is a traitor because Wesley left the Philippines for the US in 2014. Yeah right. The next year in 2015 Fabi changed back from Italy to the US and then that racist Magnus said that the US was 'buying nerds'. The difference between Putin and me though is that my claims against Magnus have more merit than Putin's claims against Zelenskyy or Ukraine. Mwahahahaha. So anyhoo among fabiano caruana, Ben Finegold & Hans Niemann, which of those 3 which are Jewish? I know for sure Susan Polgar Irina Krush levy Rozman Jen Shahade Greg Shahade Terry Oved (Hans lawyer) Bobby Fischer Levon Aronian Sam Reshevsky Arthur Bisguier Nazí Paikidze (what a name right?) are all Jewish American. But those 3 Americans I need to check: fabiano Caruana, ben Finegold & Hans Niemann. Someone, who claimed to be a gentile Catholic Italian American and grew up in the same neighbourhood as fabi told me that people think Fabi is Jewish because Fabi went to 'beth elohim' a Jewish chess place but then that person told me that most of those Italian Americans grew up catholic and there weren't other chess places. It's such a great argument since Italy like the Philippines is so catholic . But idk Fabi nose looks Jewish lol

The slither of good news is i think people are beginning to wake up so something is happening. The part that infuriates me (and many others) is we have to deal with something called "State capture". This is when a country's institutions are captured by elite, corporate, private interests (rich influential people above the government) that do not represent the people that vote them in. It is a big big machine many are up against. I know my words are empty, that my empathy is useless, that this comment is a glorified platitude; I wish we could do more, I wish the Ummah would do more..

I've never heard nonsense like this before until this clown came out on us from where we don't know with Piers Morgan twice to convince us that he is the wise of the wise and how bad the Jews are, it was not Bassem’s fault unfortunately, it was Pierce's fault for not being prepared enough and not reading the history of Muslims before he falls prey to this clown and has participated in spreading his misleading information like this, I am asking everyone to read the following and make sure of my words if it is a lie, slandering Islam or was true, we must be very careful when we hear them, first read their bloody history against Christians, Jews and infidels and then judge them: Fighting the Jews, is one of the prophecies that the Prophet Muhammad told Muslims, and one of the minor signs of the Hour. Al-Bukhaari and Muslim narrated in their Sahih from Abu Hurayrah: "The Messenger of Allah said: The Hour will not arise until you fight the Jews, until the stone behind the Jew says, 'O Muslim, this is a Jew behind me, so kill him.'" , In another narration in Sahih Muslim: "The Hour will not arise until the Muslims fight the Jews, and the Muslims kill them until the Jew hides from behind the stone and the tree, and the stone or tree says: O Muslim, O servant of God, this is a Jew behind me, so come and kill him; I believe that was said 610 AD not 1948 AD. I still challenge any Muslim who understands his religion and is a good reader of it, to be able to respond to me and deny everything I have written.

I am from the Westbank exactly from Bethlehem where the Nativity church is and since I was a kid, I haven't felt safe I have always seen soldiers attacking Palestinian civilians and have always read the poets of Palestinian captives in the Israeli prison I just feel weak because they can do anything take our house take me to jail shoot me anytime. it is also not fair that I have to go to Jordan to use their airport because the old Palestinian airport was damaged by Israel. I deserve to feel safe in my own house and in my hometown streets. i deserve to travel using my country's airport! Why do we not have the right to move between cities like other countries?? Why do I have to feel stuck in my hometown? why do I need permission to enter Jerusalem and Haifa?

If I were on the program, I would have told this Arab why Muslims don't help each other. What about the Uyghurs in China, Russia, Chechnya and Afghanistan? No one cares. But when the Arab Muslim is like Palestine, you support him. This is very bad racism among Arabs. The truth is that they do not care about their religion, but only about race. They cooperate. They are also the Arabs who are destroying themselves, even though they are Muslims and killed some of them in Syria and Sudan. Let us not forget the Saudi bombing of children in Yemen. They destroyed hospitals there. We remember that and no one spoke because Yemen is a hated Arab country. These people are truly hypocrites, and even Iran is the most criminal Islamic country. They do not want peace. They are the ones who support Al-Qassam and Al-Hamas, classified as terrorist in all Islamic countries. Also, everyone knows that Iran is the one who caused the war in Gaza and it is the one who killed the people in Gaza in a suicide manner. They do not want peace for Palestine. 😂

Without Lies Isslaam Dies. If Israel wanted to limit the Jewish Ethiopian population why did they spend millions of dollars to bring tens of thousands of Ethiopian Jews to Israel in the first place? And why did they then provide the new immigrants with housing, free health care, and schooling for their children? And if Israel’s aim was population control, why did they extend the state’s generous child welfare allowances to these Ethiopian immigrants, a practice that encourages large families? The final proof of the absurdity of the forced sterilization charge is that, since their immigration, the Ethiopian population of Israel has grown in leaps and bounds. The contraceptive effects of Depo-Provera last only for about three months. A small number of Ethiopian women received the Depo-Provera injections every three months for a while. An Israeli TV reporter asked a group of women who had received these injections if they were able to conceive after stopping the drug. All said they were. Israel-haters who say that Israel tricked black Ethiopian women into being sterilized are wildly wrong. At worst, these women received temporary birth control medication.

Please read this 🙏 The Isra*li occupation, a fact even acknowledged by Israel*s, traces back to 1948 when the Balfour Declaration of 1917 pledged support for a Jewish national home in Palest*ne. This historical context is essential to understanding the plight of Palest*n*ans. For over 70 years, Palest*n*ans have endured displacement, restricted movement, and lived under harsh conditions. The term “apartheid” aptly describes the segregation and discrimination they face in their own land, marked by numerous Isra*li checkpoints. Despite countless peaceful attempts, oppression persists, leading to further land loss and human suffering. It’s important to note that Ham*as, often a focus of international attention, emerged as a response to active resistance against this enduring injustice. If you trying to feel sorry for Israel*s today I hope you felt sorry for Palest*n*ans for the past 70 years 🙏.
