Why do these people live their lives in past and still continue to fight the battles and arguments of 2000yrs ago ? One must believe it is a mental condition.
It's called being brainwashed by a religion still operating mentally in 660 BCE. It was created by a war monger and pedalo , and they still operate like that today, ive never understood why people can devote their time to a fantasy , but with other religions it seems nice to have a faith , with this religion its soul aim is to bring misery to anyone who isn't brainwashed, on the surface they claim allsorts of peaceful nonsense , you only have to dig beneath the surface to see how it's run , the corruption , the threats etc... I will never forgive past governments for even allowing it into our country.

"But you would have the civility not to k*ll civilians?" That was extremely concerning to hear. What hope is there for peace if people think hurting civilians is a difficult reaction to resist.
I understand your repulsion. There is an amount that shocks and with indiscriminate killing its made people question the narrative. If there is equal standard everyone would fight resistance as Palestine yet there they expect a humane resistance when faced with utter obliteration. If we can accept a deviation from morality at war Palestine and it's resistance has to be far ahead of the war crimes of Israel
@@zetablackstar2410 Actually is working better than even Hamas envisioned. Do you have any idea of the significant accomplishment it is to break Isra-el's stronghold on the narrative?
He is one of those guys who doesn't go into a conversation to listen the other side and respond but waits his time to interrupt and say his thing. He doesn't discuss, he preaches.
Because he is fed up with one sided, dumb arguments and questions. You can't sit and hear the same BS every interview. The host keeps saying talk to me but he brings up mainstream views! If he wanted to talk to him, why make a video for public? Go talk privetly together! If I slapped you 1000 times, and you slap back the shit out of me once or twice, I would have just back off and say well they now have the balls to stand up for themselves. But Israeilies are not human. They use this reaction to justify their genocide. They did let OCT 7th to happen purposely to be where they are today. Just like Spet. 11th. Today, people need to open the eye and don't play the dumb sheep role!
@coma144 he's infuriating you because he your dumbass talking points and uses sarcasm against this bad postured bitch Konstantin. "You're so out of touch you think triggernomettry guys are "just asking questions from a normal person's point of view". People like you, don't have empathy and refuse.to comprehend the fact that Palestinians have been bombed and under a blockade for over 17 years now. It's hard for white people like you to understand that Palestinians aren't doing retaliation for your shitty techno music festival, but for the fact that they've had their rights taken away and annexed since 1948. And, yes you started fucking with them before that.
Man I am a Muslim and pro-Palestine and Sudanese and have zero political experience yet I can think of 10 different ways to the what should Israel do question. Is that truly a difficult question or It’s being avoided intentionally to kick the can down the road…
The answer is always give "back" the entirety of Israel to Palestinians lol. The "Palestinians" who in reality are jordanian, Iraqi, Irani, Syrian, and Lebanese. Jerusalem was a city of 14k people before the mandate, during the mandate it grew to be a 400+500k city composed of mostly arab muslims lol. Do you really think Palestine belongs to them?
I have been asking this this last week. I dont agree with what they did. I also dont know what I think they should do. And thats legitimate and in no way takes away my first position. This man really tried to paint KK as holding views he didnt so he could attack him. For no need.
@@Datmanfutureyou may refer to the area as Palestine, essentially what the Romans called it but they recognized it as the Jewish homeland. There are no indigenous Palestinians. The Jews are indigenous. The land has been recognized as Jewish by the Ancient Egyptians, the Babylonians, the Hittites and so on. Since the land is theirs, why should they leave.
Incredibly dishonest interviewers. They are hiding behind nonsensical magical questions which can be summed up like this "what if you magically became the leader of isr and had the choice to decide their next move?" This question is leading and dishonest because it purposefully blows past all of the variables which led to oct 7 and then puts the burden on the person being asked this magical imaginary hypothetical question. 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. Completely dishonest interviewers who very clearly picked a clever question in order to make the other person seem as if they are dodging the question when in reality there is nothing to discuss. Isr must be held accountable on a world stage. An example must be made
In my opinion, the way to answer his first question is by explaining the issue with the framing of the question, answering the hypothetical and then posing the same exact question to the interviewing by saying "What should the Palestinians do given their circumstance?"
Before October 7th was the "Sword of Jerusalem Battle", and before that was the third intifada, and before that the first Hamas war, and before that the second intifada, and before that the first intifada, and before that... It seems that the Palestinians didn't make life so easy for others either

@@coma144he answered the first question three different ways directly and clearing and NONE were accepted by the host. Then when Bassem stated as much the host tried to squirl away by saying the question wasn’t his but that of the general public. Only to attack Bassem for not speaking directly to him as an individual but a group not present. He’s a terrible host jump roping between neutral journalistic integrity and biased railroading of discussion.
It didn't start on Oct 7th, 2023. It started in 1914 when the Ottoman empire decided to join with the Austro-Hungarian empire and Germany in WW1. They lost, the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian empires were dismantled and after a period of occupation were separated into independent states. It was agreed at the UN following WW2 that the Jews who living there were to get an independent state. Britain, who had the Mandate over the region following WW1 put this plan in place as was their right as victors. Hungary lost 70% of their territory following WW1, they haven't spent the last 100 years terrorizing their neighbors in a struggle to get their ancestral lands back. It's understood, to the victor go the spoils. Accept defeat, move on and make the best of it.
Except the Hungary isn’t subjected to an open air prison where foreign power controls everything from electricity, water, transportation, internet etc. and are routinely bombed, murdered, and evacuated from their home or destroy it completely. In west bank the Palestinians will certainly cease to exist one day, during our lifetime because they are constantly replaced by Israeli settlers often violently. This has ben going on for decades. And you think it is similar situation to when Hungary just lost land and now live peacefully? a simply matter of moving on? How ignorant can you be?
It's still happening how are you crazy enough to say rollover and let it happen? Weird way to out yourself as a coward when an invading force marches in like the Wehrmacht. Never Again means Never Again for everyone, not for any race they choose...
Not as much as some other conflicts but there are other terrible things happening in other places that are far more obscure in media by far than even sudan
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.
@@mansd5131gross oversimplification and ahistorical … there was literally the Darfur genocide where RSF Arab militias slaughtered 200k of the indigenous black populations from 2003-2005 … AND they restarted the ethnic cleansing AGAIN in Nov 2023.
@@mansd5131 Since April 2023 more than 7.4 million people in Sudan (15% population) have fled their homes. 25 million people - including 14 million children - need humanitarian assistance and support. 4 million children are displaced (a largest child displacement crisis in the world.) 19 million children are out of school. 3.5 million children already are acute malnourished, of whom 700,000 without immediate treatment are at significant risk of dying. Tigray: 600,000 people literary wiped out between Nov 2020 - Nov 2022. Ongoing humanitarian disaster. Yemen civil war: more than 400,000 starved / murdered, children used as soldiers / shields. Houthis alleged "pro - palestinian" propaganda actions on the Red Sea brought even more damage to civilians. 22 mln civilians need imediate humanitarian help. How do you compare and prioritize (to this extend) the war in Gaza to other conflicts? P.S Don't forget that Israel is the only state who's military actions are constantly supervised by UN (there is separate article / clause for Israel and only Israel)
The IDF cannot be in all places at once. The attack was a coordinated assault ON THE PLACES WHERE THE IDF WAS WEAKEST (but believed they were secure). Pro-tip for the strategically challenged, don't attack your enemy where they are the strongest. 🤦🏻
That would be terrible, showing on both sides. Douglas would quickly become smug and condescending, and Bassem would be yelling and ranting and raving like a lunatic. It would not be constructive. It would be strictly entertainment, because Douglas is a little too fervently on the other side of this issue.
Israel has always been victimized certainly because they are much stronger. This is like a case of two brothers caught in a conflict. Parents would always say, let your little brother win. He's smaller than you. Just this time. You can win some other time.
Yes there is incredible hypocrisy in arab world and the activist camp. Its a horrible situation, but where were the people where Syrian Assad killed 600.000 in slaughter and genecide. Where were they when China made huge internment camps for muslim population ? Turkey has occupied Northern Cyprus illegally since the 1970s not a single protest. Much terrible war, slaughter and displacement in some African countries like Sudan. Not a single protest. Most Palestinians around 370.000 were kicked out of Kuwait in 1990s because PLO and the leaders supported Saddams war and occupation. No one said a word. Most Palestinians lives in great poverty in Lebanon, Syria and Jordan have very few rights after decades , no support for better living conditions or activist fight for them to get citizenship. And the list goes on. Palestinians are just useful pawns in everyone's chessboard. No one talkes about Hamas very clear goal of making Palestine an islamist nation and destruction of Israel.
WHATS HAPPENING IN PALESTAINE IS WESTERN FUNDED SETTLER COLONIALISM. WHAT HAPPENING LETS SAY IN SUDAN OR AFRICA, ITS COMPLETELY INTERNAL POWER STRUGGLE. EVEN IF FOREIGN COUNTRIES STOP SELLING WEAPONS TO THE SUDANESE. THE SUDANESE TWO GROUPS ARE GOING TO FIGHT WITH SWORDS, ARROWS, BOWS TO GET A HOLD ON THE POWER. IF YOU DONT UNDERSTAND THE ISSUES THEN STAY AWAY FROM IT
And it is so sad.....so many children starved to death this year already in Sudan and if nothing happens more than 200.0000 will die the rest of this year. Boko Haram atrocities...no one talks about it. Their mass murders and kidnapping girls at school. Thousands are being sold as sex slaves. WHERE are the Muslims than?
Jerusalem was Founded by the Canaanites around 1800 B.C., captured by David (P.b.u.h) eight centuries later, and destroyed by the Babylonians in 587 B.C., Jerusalem was then successively occupied by the Persians, the Greeks, the Romans (both pagan and Christian), the Arabs and the Turks. It is unique among the cities of the world because of its association with the three monotheistic religions, which have their Holy Places within its precincts. As a result, it is of profound religious and spiritual significance to 2.6 billion Christians, 1.8 billion Muslims, and 15.7 million Jews. All three ruled the city at one time or another: the Jews for almost five centuries in biblical times, the Christians for over four hundred years in the fourth to the seventh and the twelfth centuries, and the Muslims (Arabs and Turks) for twelve centuries from 638 until 1917 continuously, except the period when the city was the capital of the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem. The Muslims populated the city from 638AD to 1917AD. Plus research has shown that the Palestinian people have Canaanite DNA in them meanwhile it is illegal in Israel to get a DNA test and we all know why because the truth will come out that these colonizers are from Europe Ukraine, etc and all their Zionazi propaganda will be debunked.
It has been that way in America since day one. Now this type of lobbying is beginning to take hold in Britain also. Conservative friends of Israel, Labour friends of Israel etc.
looool. I don't watch this podcast regularly. and sometimes when they cut to him I just start laughing. He's not ugly or anything just funny looking I can't explain it :D

how was is life for the middle east as a whole? how is life living amongst territory groups controlling everything in the middles east long before this conflict?

There is no squaring Israel's desire to make Palestinians disappear, with democracy, human rights, and the values that the West PURPORTS to cherish in the 21st Century. Zionism was a snapshot of 19th Century European Values which were Racism & Genocide.
@@kyleebrahim8061he never got offended. lol. He was merely calling them out for the stupidity of their loaded questions. But I guess people like you are in favor mass murdering 33,000 people half of which are children.

@@kyleebrahim8061 Because the interviewer/host is not listening to him. Bassem gave him his answer but the host kept rejecting it. Bassem kept telling them that one cannot find the solution by ignoring the past. If you choose to ignore the past and refuse to acknowledge the injustices suffered by the Palestinian people, then of course Israel's response to the 7th October attacks would seem justified and proportionate.
@@s_shaleh Palestinians didn't just end up on the receiving end of a war, there were peace deals that were not solely rejected by Israel, there was Gaza given up and the restriction of weapons or main materials for weapons in foreign trade, the Israelis were not blocking food or medical supplies into Gaza - this is a lie. There were engineers, electricians, medical professionals and most of the skilled labour that became part of the military wing to work inside the tunnel infrastructure. This lie that one side has been innocent up until this point and their retaliation was bound to come is based on a terrible lie my guy. War will never end if people dont admit all of the truth including the ugly.
14:10 Bassem points out quite well the double standard or atleast the lapse in reasoning of the host to oppose the Iraq war while trying to reason or justify the war on Gaza. Bassem highlights that Iraq war happened because of 9/11, then why does the host oppose it while not opposing the Gaza war? The host replies because terrorists committed the 9/11 but Oct 7th happened because of Hamas, a govt body of Gaza. If that is the case, then why did the host oppose Afghanistan War where Taliban controlled most of Afghanistan in 2001. Furthermore, let me offer another perspective; Would the Israeli government's bombing of the Iranian consulate in Syria justify or be reason enough for Iran to level Israel?? Absolutely not.
Oh man, I don't know why all the comments mocking and hating Bassem got so many replies and it's so quiet under here. Very interesting. As interesting as the quietness in UN.
@@abdullatesttest6472 Because the Taliban never attacked the US directly and the ruling authorities in Iraq wasn’t responsible for 9/11? The 2 ruling authorities also never had any past grievances with the American authorities prior to 9/11 and never called for the absolute destruction of America? This is nothing like Israel and Hamas. You Muslims truly love your false equivalence fallacies.

@@johnnydang4723 What are you talking about? The Palestinians themselves don't value their own people's lives. Martyrdom above all. They have been proving it since 1964 (when "Palestinians" were invented) and the same for the Arabs in the region before them. No one is listening? Hamas created the most effective PR campaign in the last 80 years -- they have people like you feeling sympathy for thieving, murderous terrorists.
His main problem is he's used to going on shows that agree with his point of view and the shows he does go on with "opposition" offer very little pushback, like Piers Morgan. He reminds me of trying to reason with college kids in America, when you try to have legitimate conversations about how to address the problems within the black community it goes nowhere b/c the college kids will constantly bring up slavery, Jim Crow, racism and such. You can never address any real issues, just nonstop victim hood and deflection. It's very weird, it's like trying to argue with a cultural Marxist.

His question is basically telling Bassem and the rest of us normal beings that there were no other options other than massmurder. Adhering to international laws like stopping occupation, illegal settlements, apartheid is not a good answer enough answer for him because Israel say so.
You didn't get it. He wanted to extract a solution other than the current one that the IDF is doing. Because the current one is horrific and if there was an alternative then it would be good to hear it.
@@RobPires no it was not. You interpreted it that way. So did Bassem. It's probably the fault of Konstantin that he did not give the context of his question before asking it. He did provide the context after the fact though and this is where I am basing my analysis of his question.
@@LukeMossehow? Douglas refuses to acknowledge mass Palestinian casualties because they are hamas figures, despite the fact that anyone can see dropping bombs in densely populated areas for a 100 plus days can't possibly yield low casualty levels and so the figures are approximately right

@@WaaDoku all that stuff may be true, but he clearly hates israel and the jews and expects them to be dhimmi, and that alone should have disqualified him for a visa. the mb no longer control egypt, so his life is not at risk there. his hate for israel, trumps his disdain for the mb, who hamas are a part of
Perhaps he would have done the same. You can not steal land and murder people for 75 years without causing hatred. You people are always the same, if you care so much about zionists let them have your house I'm sure you'll be just fine with that
He just needs to be able to explain his side of the story without saying look what they did to us that is logic and can convince people to be open to your side. He comes off as an arrogant, ignorant and totally illogical individual. I understand the atrocities but how do you convince someone to just hear you out when you just constantly accuse them of not listening

Tbh I don’t know what side of the bed Bassem woke up on this morning but he was insufferable here. I’m 11 minutes in and feel like he’s arguing against a figment of what he feels the media is rather than engaging in good faith with the questions
It's a simple question: what will Israel have done? Keep quiet? Go and sing hymns? Shake the hands of hamas? He keeps saying " not what isreal did" but he could not suggest what could be done positively. Horrifying as it seems, this decision is really a hard one for Israel .
They should’ve not funded Hamas in the first place. Natanyahu should’ve resigned after the attack and they should’ve reinforced their borders and the IDF should’ve been dispatched immediately after the attack not sent to the West Bank to protect the illegal settlers!

@@dominiclane8538 The sabotage of the Oslo Accords by Netanyahu, as per his own admission, was what allowed Hamas to get enough political support to win the election of 2006 by a slight plurality, because Israel back tacking on its end of the deal at Oslo destroyed all hope the Palestinians had left in the Diplomatic peace process.
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"

It's a tenet of jurisprudence that "the reasonable" person exists and their opinions is somehow discernable by all. Like the fiction of the corporation as a legal "person" the legal system has been developed to suit a particular stentorian class.

@@xokelis0015bringing in the palestinian authority to replace them. like they shouldve done years ago. even inciting a palestinian civil war would be more righteous than what Israel has done. of course now we know that it was the explicitly strategy of netanyahu and his likud goons to strengthen hamas to keep palestinians divided.
Bassem double speaking too much, he's playing the socratic game of criticising without offering solution. It's a fine tactic if you're challenging someone's beliefs, but it is next to useless for an actual productive debate of what SHOULD be done now that the reality has happened.
Just on one point that people are fixating on: To imply that "we had no choice but to commit genocide" is very Nazi-esque. "Not this" means not committing genocide, not dropping 22,000 dumb bombs on one of the most densely populated areas, not actively starving, besieging, and depriving people of water and medicine. Not this means not massacring starving people clamoring for food. I could go on. The comments on this video are deplorable. No people would accept Gaza as their situation if they were born into it, routinely massacred with no end in sight towards achieving basic human rights, freedom and dignity. Any people, race, community would resist.
...pffff this man has ni credibility. Once je was in thé hand of Israël ,what choice hé had? Die or work for Israël....you makes me laugh,youre completely Lost in thé lie of your story telling.....lie and lie
@@zubairhussain888 when have they ever been "rutinely massacred"? No one has ever massacred anyone i Gaza. They gave been self governing since 2005 until they decided to start a war.
@@Ahmad_Gharbawy Bruh. All states exist because of brute force. Israel won all war against their enemies. They have the right to their state until they're defeated.
Awesome, an Egyptian holding forth on the Israel/Palestine conflict - it’s going to be lucid and objective, for sure 😂. Interestingly, top Nazi propagandist, Johann von Leers, ended up in Egypt (along with about 2000 other Nazis), where he converted to Islam and changed his name to Omar Amin. He ran president Nasser’s propaganda unit, pumping out modified Nazi propaganda until (I think) the early or mid sixties, when he died. When it came to propaganda, these guys knew their trade, and Nazi ideology, especially antisemitism and anti Israel propaganda seeped into Egyptian culture, for years. So - Egypt: beloved retirement zone for Nazis, and drenched in Nazi propaganda, some of which we will hear emerging from Bassems mouth, I’m sure…
The fact that he's Egyptian, doesn't automatically make him related to Nasser and Johann von Freaking Leers. Just like the fact that your name is Stephen, does not automatically make you related to Stepan Bandera.
Egypt is a very antisemitic country. They are the #1 publishers and distributors of antisemitic literature. It's no surprise that he can't see his own bigotry in this discussion.
I'm at the very beginning of this video and it is soooo hard to watch because of how defensive and aggressive Bassem is. Funny how lots of arabs are like this. Reminds me of some family members of mine (we're arab too).
yeah exactly! jews started machine gunning Palestinians in the 1940s. jews stole the land 100% they dont deserve it, they murdered to get it. so no matter what any israeli does is 100% wrong.
When was the clock started? When western governments gave a land that was never theirs to a european population and displaced the Palestinians. If they gave your country ( Im assuming your either british or american) you wouldn't be defending Israel.
what's the full historical argument? they were there 3000 years ago? then got kicked out and spread all over? that the palestinians who were there had the sephardic jews who stayed and the jews who escaped the holocaust were almost all akhenazi khazars who didn't belong and then got handed half of a land they never knew about? what's the historical context? please tell us?
Exactly, and they always say "it didn't start on October 7th " as if it's a good argument for them when in reality they are the ones who have been shooting rockets on a daily basis
Askelon was built on a burnt down Palestinian village that was burned in 1948 it is actually Arab and Muslim land Israel burned Palestinian villages and built Israeli towns on them
@@dudi2200 by the Zionists who came from Europe and they took land from the natives the Palestinians didn’t go to Europe the Zionists came to Palestine
Konstantin asks questions but when he doesn't like the answer he tells Bassem to "speak to me, debate MY opinions" but K's opinions are exactly the same talking points (opinions) of one side.
@@keto0303no the OP is 100% correct. Go to any other interview that Bassem has done and you’ll see those same talking points. It seems like you don’t get it
@@jadwahab4474 Yes, exactly. He makes the same talking points everywhere. You prove my point and you dont even realise it. Konstantin wants him to engage with the thought experiments that he is giving him in this conversation, but instead he argues with other people that are not in the room. Thats not a way to have a conversation. OP is wrong, because he thinks this is some kind of dogde by Konstantin, its not. Bassem just doesnt engage with Konstantins thoughts directly.
It is hard to listen to Youseff. I don't want to seem rude, but it is like arguing with a child. He cannot see any perspective that is outside of his own and his thinking is so black and white, jumping to extremes to prove points, not really engaging in nuance and the reality of the situation.
It absolutely blows my mind that this guy is so prominent, and gets to sit down with so many prominent people, because he is absolutely captured by ideology, and unwilling to entertain any viewpoint other than his own, even just as an intellectual theoretical exercise.
Well tried guys but this guy is not interesting in finding solutions. He is a professional victim and does not have any conversational skills whatsoever. Kudos to you guys for trying though.
@@gadgettv4472 I am not convinced that he is motivated to find solutions. He plays the victim card too many times and like I said, he doesn’t have any conversational skills. How is one supposed to come up with a solution if one cannot carry a decent conversation let alone a professional argument or debate? I’m not sure where you got the “he should stop talking about it??” part from though. He should study argumentation theory and debate.
@@gadgettv4472 Yes. It's his fault that tens of thousands of innocent Palestinian civilians have been murdered by the Israeli government. If he had come up with A SOLUTION and given it to the Israeli government, they would never have had to murder tens of thousands of innocent civilians in relaliation for Hamas murdering one thousand. And the Israeli government HAD to murder all those civilians in order to SAVE LIVES! It's all Bassem's fault for not being logical and providing a solution.
@@gadgettv4472 The other terrible thing about Bassem is that he he doesn't seem to appreciate the chief interrogator's genuine passive aggressive attempts to educate us all about why it is such a difficult thing for the civilised West NOT to murder tens of thousands of black or brown Bassem-like civilians every so often in the name of freedom and saving lives. It's all so complicated.
He doesn't know the history of the land apparently. As both Israeli and Palestinians come from the same land according to scholars and evidence. Romans, Assyrians & everyone else kept kicking out the Jewish people from their home land, and if you were to look into the DNA you'd find evidence they came from the same area. Jerusalem is entirely their own land as per the historical evidence found. This war has been going on way longer than 50 years ( 1850 burning of a Jewish community by a Muslim uprising) as the Muslim population considers the Jews inferior to them according to scholars both ex Muslims and what not. There are Muslim leaders praising those who have been killed in the name of Allah and I watch a Muslim man weeping because he never got the chance to die for the cause or a woman who said that all women of Palestine wish to die in the name of the cause. To see the Jewish people end. Read the Quran, Hadith and debate some Muslims on the religion of Islam. Guys saying that having a child bride is fine & now it's a law in Iraq that allows it.
For the guys in Gaza, they need to stop throwing missiles at Israel. They need to make a stable country and constantly ask to have access to an open border. With trust, Israel will eventually give that to them.
Demand a better government than Hamas, one that spends the billions in global aide it gets yearly on infrastructure and education rather than weapons and private jets for the leadership.. one that doesn't use their own civilians as human shields.. that would be a good start..
@@RobPires His questions are an insult. Never heard of this Krisin guy but he’s trying hard to be the British Lex Friedman, another zionist funded hasbara boy.
21st century, and we have people that still don't know the definition of aparthied and occouption ^ (if you want a good definition of occouption, google Arab Calaphite! The 5th biggest Colonizing occouption Empire in human history) 🤡
The first time I saw Bassem on piers… I thought he was awesome. But now I feel it’s just the same story and no new insite… ok we get it-Isreal has been murdering Palestinens…tell us future solutions. Tell us where Isreal and Palestine has gone wrong. If he doesn’t believe in harming other human beings and agrees it is wrong where does it leave the Palestinians that go killings and bombing Israelis
Konstantin Kisin was bewildered because he came into the interview with preconceived notions that Palestinians are livestock and their lives are worth less than other human lives.
Bassem is a moron Muslim he ask him if you where the leader what would you do bassem don't answer why buy not answering bassem would do what Israel is doing know it's a war it not play station video games it sad people get Killed children get kill I believe two countries should fight war on play station so no one gets Kill 😨😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
