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

And basically it's like the Jews saying like, we're gonna control the war, then we're gonna do this, then we're gonna do that and whatever. What people don't know that that is a work of plagiarism. It was plagiarized from a satirical play called Conversation in Hell between Machiavelli and Montesequieu. And it is kind of like based on one chapter or one scene or something. It's crazy.

Because humans need to concentrate their hate, their insecurities, and their shortcomings into one thing that they can practice that hate on. If it's a person, great. If it's a group, even better.

Jews in Israel have every right to feel afraid because of everything that they see and everything they've been told, everything. But I would say that the calculus or the numbers doesn't, like, of course, like being small, it is, of course, a factor, but it is never an excuse in order to take something that's not yours.

It's saying like, hey, you have 300 million Americans and we have 52, 52 says give one state, there's too many of them. Too many of you, just give them something. It's like the fact that I have something and you don't, and there's too many of me and there is little of you.

And then you come in and it's not really Israel against the Arab world or the Muslim world because we have to say we fucked up big time. But it is the Palestinians that are in and they are being subjected to that. So it's not really like the 1.8 billion and the 16 million Jews.

And the 1.8 billion, if you look at them, some of them don't care, some of them live into regimes that are being oppressed, and those regimes are supported by the United States in order. It's easier for me as an empire to take what I want from this country if I control the dictator. And I tell them that his power is linked to my ability, to my desire to keep him in power.
