Guest bio: Bassem Youssef is an Egyptian-American comedian & satirist, referred to as the Jon Stewart of the Arab World.
A two state solution is not a solution. It perpetuates the divisiveness. The only solution is dialogue among the people on both sides of the fence. Both parties are also divided internally so there is no solution in sight until they clean up their own house.
The mere prospect for this to happen makes everyone uneasy because it will force them to detach from some of their desires
i learned from swiss radio that Egyptians have the reputation of being the biggest fans of comedy in the Arab world, and that jokes are the soul of its urban culture
Can’t see a way two state solution would work, by both parties.
I'm at the point where it should be imposed by the UN. Create the state under administration of the UN, flood the zone with thousands of peacekeepers to establish security. Be in it for the long run because that is what it will take....decades.
Ok all territory returned to the West Bank and then three state solution.
@@jgaffney567They left them Gaza and sent them a fortune to build it into a decent society. They spent it on rockets and tunnels. They don't want 1 hew on the that land
Are you actually braindead? If Palestine settled for a valid peace deal TOMORROW, there would be peace. They are the ones who are CONTINUOUSLY giving Israel a valid reason for counterattacking. How about you stop using your waterpipes to create killer rockets, and then you can actually focus on your own safety as a country, and the palestinians themselves. Ridicolous.
@@Absolutelyruddyuseless again that is generalized rhetoric... demonization rhetoric.
One state solution is the only one that makes sense. Either live together peacefully or winner take all.
The problem is it being tiered as far as rights voting goes.
@@jgaffney567 /divorce divorce divorce
Would be nice if they could just live togther
We all know Israel could take all of it tomorrow. But the rest of the world won't allow it.
It is unacceptable to put kids through this. I am super happy lex your are shinning a light on this form mistreatment! I support you podcasts.
It’s time to discuss what has happened to Cyprus… Turkey invaded the island in 1974, UN declared it illegal, decades have passed and nothing has changed…
It's too late for two state solutions. The only solution now is from the River to the Sea, one conquers all. Good luck to both sides.
They dont seem to understand what the meaning of human shields is. Well, actually, they do. They just chose not to admit it, and instead use some cheap irony to refer to it. Yes, Hamas does use Gaza citizens as human shields
Sorry Bassem.. you’re glazing over a lot by saying the purpose of Oct 7 was hamas’s attempt to “release their hostages”. I’m not saying that Bassem himself is defending hamas and if he was answering based on his personal opinion, he’d probably argue it was Israel’s provocations in occupied regions prior to Oct 7 that fueled their actions (on top of getting billions in aid and covert assistance from Iran). If releasing hostages was really the goal, they could have kidnapped a similar number (compared to Palestinian hostages) of Israeli citizens and bartered for release, and that alone would make Israel’s “disproportionate response” look even more unhinged.
No.. It was the indiscriminate brutal murder of 1200 people, including the hostage taking and rape that was the goal of Hamas on that day. I’ll never accept that Hamas, an organization known for using human shields, was simply caring about the release of their own hostages. It’s a care they do not afford their own people when they declare “from the river to the sea” and “death to all Jews”.
Hamas has been kidnapping especially soldiers for exchanges for a long time. They got one for five hundred once. Israel instituted a secret Hannibal policy where they will kill kidnap soldiers before they get taken away. To Hamas this is leverage all they have. The concert was a surprise because they met so little resistance they just continued. They committed crimes and acted horrendously but it is understandable what they were doing
@@jgaffney567 it was a surprise they met so little resistance at a concert filled with young people?? What's understandable about that?
@@EtanG911 The attack was around military targets and police stations. They expected a full military response but none came. That's when they fanned out and went to the concert area. There were also multiple terrorist groups there not just Hamas.
@@jgaffney567 I don't care about these details. You're not going to convince me that in lieu of proper "military" target, the perpetrators on October 7th just figured "oh well, let's kill and rape our way through some kibbutzim and a festival instead". As if the distinction matters. I don't even understand the point of your comments except to be an apologist for Hamas's actions on October 7. It's as "understandable" as what Israel is doing now. It's all senseless and disgusting.
@@jgaffney567 oh.. you are either trolling or you are actually this misinformed
This bassam guy don’t know what he talking about…
Your statement means nothing if you don't explain or provide an argument for it. Then it's just a guy's opinion on a YT comment section
He says he isnt defending Hamas but actually all it does is defending Hamas. And Lex Fridman should know better and challenge him on all the non sense he is saying, just demonizing Israel not a single thing to say about the Palestinian side
I distrust anyone that only focuses on one side of this conflict. Israel takes advantage of any slight against them by taking more land and not valuing Palestinian lives that may be lost as collateral damage, but don't forget that Hamas broke the ceasefire on 10/7, and continues to reject all calls for ceasefire, even as Gaza gets turned to dust.
Not to mention that not just Hamas but most Palestinians seem to only want one state, theirs..
Do palestinians value israeli lives? what percent of Palestinians support what happened on Oct 7th?
@@marceloeguinoSeem? Let them decide by having a voice.
@@marceloeguino not true i have a lot friends from there who want to 2 state to end this conflict sorry if they dont want what you want but when you lose your family and your home is getting destroyed can blame some people for saying that
@@dustin3596 Do israeli value palestinians lives? cuz there the ones getting bombed at moment so and israeli tiktoks are making fun of them
52 state solution
There is a very important lesson here. If you have no power to change your fate - then do not declare war on a state that can squash you like a bug.
It's just plain stupid. Which is exactly the so-called Palestinian position. A ridicolously non-performer/non-important people, that are not even recognised as a nation, have never had a recognised state, have never been able to agree amongst themselves long enough to create a government, have regularly killed their own leaders - have been offered more than once the opportunity to establish a state but walked away from the opportunity. I would say such a group is both extremely stupid and not deserving one moment of sympathy.
It's incredible that people have this mental condition where we just completely ignore critical information. Did you not hear the part about how Israeli policy has been to fund Hamas? This is in order to create disorder and more easily manipulate the Palestinians. Divide and conquer. The Israelis never cared about the monster they created, in fact many now believe Israel knew that 07.10 was coming and invited it. Why was there a festival taking place in occupied land? Why was it moved both in time and place at late notice to coincide with the Hamas attack into the Kibbutz (also on occupied land). Lots of real estate opportunities and a path to the "Greater Israel" is why.
Agreed! "Don't start no shit there won't be no shit." - Lil John 😂
I mean, this is just the issue of two systems and people living to close together in a shitty desert. I mean, how can anyone expect them to live together at the end of the day?
Shitty desert was literally the cradle of civilization, smart, creative, thoughtful, resourceful people.
@@buakawfan333What a useless comment - just because something at one time was a "cradle of civilization" doesn't mean it is a good place to live - Egypt and Iraq also cradles of civilization would gladly trade their geography for place like the US, Turkey, or Argentina.
@@jaedme more useful a comment than saying "shitty desert".
@@buakawfan333well, it is what it is.
shitty desert? Aight. You got room in your country? Let's move em all there.
When you hear him you get more convinced that Israel must win for world peace
The land which is Palestine and Israel was stateless until very recently. The United Nations gave the lands separately after WW11 in which several countries maps changed. This was not a unilateral invasion or colonialism by Jews. This thought that Israel is going away is actually insane and lunacy. Accept two states and stay on your side …
No.
@@mastercharlesdiltardino8058well your the issue
Why didn't european countries take the Jews instead of letting them genocided?
Why does the Arabs need to pay for Europe's genocide? Why don't you take them back we don't want them just like you don't
Why does the Arabs have to pay with their land for Europe's genocide?
We don't want them just like you do, why not take them back and do whatever you want with them. 😂
@@mastercharlesdiltardino8058 Then war it is
There will never be peace its just a hard fact. Even if there was to become a two state Hamas would continue
Yeah because Israel will keep funding them, so they have a baddie for their narrative
Hamas that Israel has supported. Ok!

no one mentions The demographic war (Arafat's weaponized womb).
Gaza's population doubled since 2000.
(And Hamas held the purse strings of opportunity for young people)
Don’t like this guy. He’s just a propagandist while pretending not to be, but he’s charismatic, speaks well and uses comedy to win people over.
Greed is the culprit for all this destruction.
For a person that doesn’t want to defend hamas, he defends them a lot and with passion
In which part is he exactly defending Hamas? The one in which he says how Netanyahu openly bragged about financially supporting Hamas, to delegitimise a Palestinian State?
Ahhhh yes.
This guys a f**king joke man, he lies so much in his arguments lol. He only brings up negative stuff Israel does and how they “killed 13 babies who were hiding in diapers” but doesn’t explain that Hamas legit hides behind or under all those people, obviously no one in the right mind goes and shoots a baby. Also brings up about “Netanyahu literally supports Hamas” I would love to see that video. Never seen or heard of it from anyone but him, he must be so lost in his own cause thinking he’s correct he must’ve had a dream of it.
I was thinking along those same lines. He basically was giving reasons for why Oct. 7th happened which was blaming it on Isreal.
@@DaxSeven09ur still mad about 40 dead babies??😂
I think you support genocide by Israeli and IDF.
The Arabs have said no to a 2 state solutions in 1937,1948,1967,2000 and 2008. But it's Israel who doesn't want the 2 state solution.
Israel should be forced into honoring the 1968 borders, the illegal settlements disbanded and forced to move back to Israel, Palestine should be a State and that’s the end of it
Go ahead, step up and do the enforcing.
It would be if Palestinians bothered to show up to any of the many peace talks offered in the last 90 years. This multitude of olive branch offerings is unprecedented in human history.
To anyone who thinks vote work go check a doctor
I honestly hate Bassem Youssef, he gaslight people all the time and don't really answer any hard question. For example Lex pointed out other Arab nations are benefiting from Israel Palestine conflict, Youssef completely dodges the question by saying it's the suffering that matters not who benefited. What the heck? can't he see this is the very reason why they are suffering? We aren't going to get a Palestine state as long as other Arab nations like Iran want conflict in the area. Please no more Bassem Youssef on the show, he is disgusting.
You wanna hear about how those Arab nations are in bed with Israel then listen to Lowkey
Comments are being filtered BIG TIME on lex clips. Haha why would they not like me signposting people to Lowkey 😉😉
have Israel divide Palestine 'equally' into 2 parts - then the Palestinians get to choose which part they want
“I’m not defending Hamas, BUT…”
Israel is not committing genocide but…
@@hipsterlord😂😂😂you jokes
What about israeli babys???
How many Israelis babies are equal to a Palestinian baby?
What about Palestinian babies?
"There are no innocent civilians in Gaza" - Israeli president.
Maybe it swings both ways? 😂
What about them,do you have names or evidence support your claim
Go to bed IDF.
I despise this man
Why ?
World despises you..
Because he's racist. But will dress it up in other ways.@@user-or8bs1cp2p
He did say he is pro-Palestine
This guy should change his name to george santos
