Bassem Youssef on Palestine: The West is terrified of Israel

We had the pleasure of being joined in the studio by comedian Bassem Youssef as he kicks off his The Middle Beast tour.
He came by JOE Towers to chat about Israel's ongoing campaign of violence against the Palestinians, the West's complicity in war crimes being perpetrated by the IDF and Benjamin Netanyahu's government, and how the media needs to be more responsible in its coverage of the bombardment of Gaza.

That’s because mainstream western news channels and most of the Newspapers are hiding the the information from the public If you look at the newspapers in England there is either no coverage or they put out Isreali propaganda I believe most of the World does not even know the Palestinian Genocide is happening because the news is being suppressed by their Governments for many reasons I phoned a cousin of mine in a Very large Country and he hadn’t heard about Palestine at all

[@davidhadaway9311]

Not only the King David Hotel, there were other assassinations, kidnappings and murders when those gangs felt like a change from terrorizing Palestinians. Not to mention military support for Argentina during the Falklands war. The idea of Israel as an ally of the UK is truly bizzarre! Just to add something about the synagogue in Toronto, among the protesters were many Jews.

[@swarming1092]

Why on earth would Jews in Palestine have committed acts of violence against British soldiers in Palestine in the 1930s and 1940s? Was something going on? Was Britain doing something they strongly disagreed with? Please explain

[@dondiegodeazambuja9410]

@@swarming1092 You have google? Google Count Bernadotte, the King David Hotel and Irgun attacks on British soldiers. Britain took the mandate responsibility to help the Palestinians create a state. Just like the French from the League of Nations. Under article 22 of the league of nation accord. Upon the defeat of the Ottoman, the land was supposed to be given to the locals to create a state. Enter the antisemites(balfour and Lloyd George) who in exchange for favours , such us post war loans , from the zionists signed an agreement addressed to the Roschildt but was actually drafted by the zionists to give the zionists a state. The British having promised the Palestinians/arabs of giving them their land back, overwrote that promise by allowing Jewish emigration to Palestine. Those zionist immigrants started a terrorist war against the Brits. They would massacre arabs or others and blame it on the arabs. Jacon Dehaan was a dutch Jew who had moved to Palestine as a zionist. What he witnessed from the others soured him and he attempted to warn the Europeans not to grant the zionist a state. Well he was assasinated by Tehome of the Irgun(another zionist). So terrorism was the way Israel pushed the Brits out. Thats why the Brits handed it over to the UN in their frustration.

As an atheist with no attachment to capitalism this is a very difficult world to not shake your head and question the hypocrisy that passes as reporters, let alone a journalist.

I share your sentiment, but you could’ve started your comment with “As a veganʙ….”, and it would’ve made no difference. You threw me off for a sec there, but it’s cute atheists and vegans are so proud of their religious identity- nothing against either religion, I just find it interesting 😊

And if you come with " move to a socialist country if you dont like it", which someone will do, you jush show how little you know about how much the West likes to mess with every country that refused or refuses or wants to step away from a capitalistic economic system. Its impossible to escape capitalism, and being forced to partipate doesnt make someone a capitalist or a hypocrite.

That firehouse sale at that synagogue in Toronto was reported to the Minister of Justice and the AG of Canada. The pro-Palestinian solidarity movementhas been very active on that front and we have been pressuring the Government Of Canada to change its policy vis a vis Israel n it slowly has. They stopped sending weapons...albeit they still tried to ship stuff from Colt, Raytheon, Safran, TTM warehouses....shipments that were in progress before the policy change. Workers have walked off the job or protesters have blockaded the places, too. Everyone is doing their best to apply pressure.🇵🇸✊️🧡

[@martinsmods4527]

What the Nazis did a few decades ago, is now repeating itself. What turns my stomach upside down, is the fact that the western world 🌍 does nothing to stop it! Those that have been reminding others to respect human rights, installed sanctions on the spot, can now be considered guilty. Guilty because the cruelty shown openly to the entire world, done by Israel, produces no consequences at all. Nothing, absolutely zero. I’m ashamed and depressed about this behaviour! What makes it even worse, is that I’m from Germany and my country is supporting Israel. All faith in our government has been lost. Not 😢just momentarily, but forever!!

[@kyrusinek]

Why just the west? Neighbouring countries are not doing anything either, Egypt closed its border stoping anyone wanting to flee the bombs unable to. I defo agree with sanctions, but from listing to protestors it sounds more like they want us to declare war on isreal. Which I dont think will ever happen. A lot of pressure is being put on the west to "act" but no one is doing anything, not even the protestors are doing anything, they are just moaning from afar demanding others do something....not them though.
