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

You know, sometimes humans are simple. They cannot have the nuances to separate. So anybody who with a Muslim name, with a Muslim face, with a beard, who looks Muslim, he would do it because of that actions of those atrocities. You have the power as a person to separate yourself from an abusive power, a horrible power, and be yourself.

I am really worried because the rise of anti-Semitism and the rise of hate against Jews is not because of the Jews. It's because of the actions of the government. Jews do not have to be on the side of apartheid. Ronnie Kestrels, he is a Jewish South African, and he fought shoulder to shoulder next to Nelson Mandela. He was part of the African National Conference ANC.

And he had an article saying, like, I know what apartheid is, and I saw Israel, and this is what they have. And the thing is, the Israeli government should listen to other people. You cannot call anybody who criticize you either an anti-Semite or if they're already Jewish, you call them like self-hating Jew.

Because we did that. When I would go in and criticize the Islamists, it's like, oh, you're self-hating Muslim. You're not really Muslim. You're an infidel. You're a secret. You're a secular, whatever. We have the power in order to reform the course by holding people in power accountable. And the thing is, it is very stupid to actually call this antisemitism. My idol is Jon Stewart.

I voted for Bernie Sanders. Sarah Taxler, the one who did this amazing documentary about me, Tickling Giants, she's a Jew. She is married to an Israeli Jew. We have a good ratio because we know what the right is. They don't have to associate themselves with the action of the Israeli government.
