Comedian Bassem Youssef on the Israel-Gaza war, the Arab Spring, and why we can’t change the world


Bassem Youssef thinks that he’s come on the wrong podcast. “People in power don’t really care about any of our suggestions to change the world”, he tells Krishnan Guru-Murthy, “because if our ways to change the world affect their interests, they will stop you.”

    Funny how everyone goes right to blaming Israel but NOONE who does that gives any blame to Hamas. It shows you do not want to view honestly what is going on.

    One thing I disagree with Bassem. He expects that by voting his viewpoint should prevail. Howwver there are those who oppose hid viewpoint. Democracy has to be thought as a continued struggle. One votes sometimes ro make only minimum gains, just to slows down things from getting worse.

    People like Bassem, make me so embarrassed because they confront me with myself, with my irrelevance and my weakness… He is so courageous, self-confident, supported by clear moral standards, He is like a giant shield, protecting truth and justice from criminal demons of the world… And I'm just a small pawn on the Warfield of the Battle above all Battles… Wandering about Dance Macabre… And dancing dead are not the dead Palestinians and Israelis, but the silent observers…

    He says he doesn’t know what to do to change the status quo. Well he already gave a slight answer to that question from an earlier question about holding people in power accountable. That’s actually the first step in addressing the issue at hand. People in power have the power to change but refuse to do it in their own self interests. So what’s the next step? We already proved that people in power cannot self-regulated. You take that power away.

    I'm so glad when I hear another say I'm a Semite too! In other words the weaponisation of this anti-semitism is ridiculous and shuts down the opportunity of exploration around the humanitarian violence that continues to take place. This is genocide.

    frankly, he is right.

    those who have the power will make the world anyway they like

    our money will be stolen to be given to israel, and if you speak against it, you will be shut down and arrested.

    and then they will spin everyone to fight other civilians instead of the government.

    and then they will keep things just as they are, cozy, for them to continue their reign of terror and oppresion.

    the arabian spring failed and now all these governments are special interest groups

    We can vote for new political parties for change. But the problem is you vote for your local changes not geopolitical changes. That’s why labour will be no different to geo politics and the continuation of excessive deaths . Here is a novel idea, why not completely separate geo politics from local country politics where you vote for geo politicians in a separate vote and party. One in which really stands for humanity and peace devolved of financial greed.
