#424 โ€“ Bassem Youssef: Israel-Palestine, Gaza, Hamas, Middle East, Satire & Fame

And this is why the whole thing about like trying to equalize Palestinians and the Israeli state and government, it doesn't make any sense.

#424 โ€“ Bassem Youssef: Israel-Palestine, Gaza, Hamas, Middle East, Satire & Fame

Yes, well, everybody's talking about the two-state solution, but Israel has said many times on Netanyahu and Bennett, there is going to be no state solution. In the past, even Naftali Bennett, he came in on hard talk. It's like, yeah, maybe in the past we wanted two-state solutions, but look, every time we give them land, they kill us, so no state solutions. And they are openly saying it.

That's perhaps rhetoric. Rhetoric that is supported by action. Because look at what they're doing in the West Bank that you said. They are cutting it, illegal settlement, piecemealing it. So if you have an intention at all to give them anything, why would you keep doing this? And you've called it a bunch of little Gazas.

It's a nice little picture of what's happening. Piecemealing it, dum, dum, dum. Because what happened in the past four months, the Palestinians have been microdosing on it for a very long time. little by little, little by little. And we would shout every time when it gets too much, and then we shut down and then little by little. But this time it was hard.

It was hard to see the blatant oppression. And the word said, maybe the Hamas Ministry of Health are giving us the bad numbers. Maybe it's just human shields. And I laugh, there's 13,000 babies killed. Does that mean that there are 13,000 military targets hiding in their diapers?

But you know what happens? When you hear so many numbers, numbers become numbers. And you become so desensitized. And this is why there's a difference between saying, 13,000 Palestinian kids dead. It's like Mila Cohen, an Israeli baby, 10 months old. She was killed in her crib. And this is what we hear from CNN. We never hear a story about a Palestinian kid.

That's why, thank you for giving me the space for saying the names of the Palestinian children that were killed just for four weeks. Because humans needs context, they need depth. They need like a 3D look at what they can look at. But if you just give them numbers, they don't mean anything.
