Israel-Hamas War: Piers Morgan vs Bassem Youssef on Palestine’s Treatment
By Piers Morgan Uncensored
Piers Morgan Uncensored is joined by Egyptian comedian Bassem Youssef and later on by co-founder of the Daily Wire, Jeremy Boreing, for a heated and emotive debate on the historical treatment of Palestine during their conflict with Israel and whether Israel’s decision to bomb Gaza in an attempt to get rid of Hamas is justified and proportionate after the attacks on October 7th.
Bassem condemns the terrorist organisation Hamas and tries to explain that people have been desensitised to accept that civilians dying is an inevitability of war.
Piers then suggests he doesn’t know what the “proportionate response” to a terrorist attack of Hamas’s scale would be. Bassem responds by referencing a graph that shows the total amount of deaths in the conflict prior to the attacks and questions the Palestinian killings in the West Bank, which has never been occupied by Hamas fighters.
Bassem then mocks Ben Shapiro for his public stance on Israel defending themselves, questioning how an occupier can be defending themselves. Shapiro’s friend and colleague Jeremy is then invited by Piers to debate Bassem’s criticisms.
Here’s what others had to say:

As an American citizen, this guy cleared a lot of things better than any tv show or news or politician
@TangledThing
As a Bosnian, who lived through war from 1992 to 1995, knowing what occupation means, embargo on weapons, eating only rice for days, waiting in lines for a water when sniper can hit you anytime… counting dead…we deeply feel pain of Palestinian people. At that time Palestinians organized themselves and all working people sent us 1% of their salaries when even themselves didnt have much. Mr. Bassem Thank you for being the voice of Palestinians.

As a Venezuelan citizen, I want to give thanks to Bassem for denouncing what needs to be denounced but not budging from calling out the horrible and unfair reality that Palestinians are in, and have been for ages. They are in a forgotten pit of quicksand inside a cage. I could not imagine living through that. And the media has done a great job at making us not feel for any of it for a ver long time. Out of sight out of mind.

As a Brazilian, I was deeply moved by Bassem’s attempt to express, through humor, his grief and his outrage at the senseless murders of thousands, by governments who are clearly interested in deploying a war of conquer, and that have zero regard for human lives, both from the millions of innocent Palestinians and the Israeli hostages.
@Chaosbarbie
As an Iranian, I was moved by the deep pain behind the brilliant dark humor of Bassem. This is the voice of real people, real humans, that are being crushed by the voice of politicians that refuse to hear us. Thank you Bassem. Thank you Piers.
@pegasus3684
As a swedish citizen I believe this is one of the most game changing interviews of all time. In 50 years kids will look back in this in history class. Thankyou for telling people how it really is. I pray for all civilians dead on both sides but Israel needs to be stopped. If it wasnt for the apartheid regime there would be no Hamas. Dont focus on the symptoms.

As a Palestinian, I thank Bassem for speaking the language that suits their hypocrisy of the media and politicians and for delivering reaching out the truth to millions.
I hope one day we would all say “As a citizens of this world” without borders without dividing.
Freedom for Palestine.

Como brasileiro, posso dizer que finalmente vi uma resposta adequada para as pessoas que defendem os ataques contra Gaza. Não há nenhum debate possivel com essa gente. Resta apenas jogar a verdade na cara delas e expor o ridiculi das suas alegações.
@MarinaSantana

As an Egyptian I’m so so proud of bassem I used to watch him back when I was 4 years old but now I’m old enough to understand what’s going on around me but he really helped a lot of people understand what actually going on.

As an Algerian citizen, I’m so glad that people from All over the world are starting to wake up and acknowledging the truth which is Palestinians are being oppressed for the past 75 years and they must get their land and freedom back!
Thank you Mr bassem Youssef
@moathelhady8671
As a Yemeni, I want to thank Bassem for giving such a compelling satirical showcase of the Palestinian plight, you truly did them justice. As Jon Stewart inspired you, ya Bassem, with the one episode you saw of him in Egypt, I think you have inspired many others with this interview to be apart of truth telling in the media via satirical means! Much love ya baasha!
@Jojoxoxo0
As a moroccan, I greatly appreciate your brilliant way of telling the facts and the truth about what our brothers and sisters in Palestine are going through since forever. Free Palestine
