Bassem Youssef - Tumblr Posts
How do major media networks keep inviting @bassem on to their networks KNOWING that he will make their hosts look unintelligent for the world to see? Well, itโs a treat for us to watch nonetheless.

This is beyond heartbreaking.
Do people still not understand the gravity of this? I often think of one of the interviews that Bassem Youssef did with Piers Morgan -when Bassem responded to Piers' 'reflection' about a "proportional response" to the October 7th event, and Bassem replied with a story to highlight the disproportionate amount of systemic violence Palestinian people have and continue to face.
Bassem gave an example similar to this young boy's here about a young man losing everything -from his home and his family members. And Palestinian people are STILL expected to remain silent/to accept this unilateral oppression. So Bassem asks Piers what exactly is a 'proportional response' to violence?
There was also another interview did (if I recall correctly -it was a podcast), and Bassem then relates similar stories to the one I just mentioned above -as how young boys and later young adults are recruited in Hamas because the IOF has destroyed parts of their communities and has humiliated and killed their loved ones, and then, in turn, are labelled terrorists by many people/world leaders around the globe...
I don't think many can begin to comprehend what this little boy, and so many Palestinian children are going through right now. It's beyond horrific to see these barely five year olds begging and asking the world not to look away and to stop the 'war' so that they can go home. For anyone still silent about this, you're part of the problem and you're equally complicit.
