Egyptian-American comedian Bassem Youssef says he wants Biden to lose over his pro-Israel policy

“When the West talks about everything, it’s liberal, secular, democratic. Only when it comes to Israel, it’s biblical.”

During an interview with the BBC aired on 16 February, Egyptian-American comedian Bassem Youssef criticised the West’s support for Israel and emphasised that as an American citizen he wants US President Joe Biden to lose the 2024 presidential election over his pro-Israel policies and refusal to end the war on Gaza.

This man feels exactly as I do. I don’t like trump, but I want Biden to lose.

[stillyfe]

This man's intelligence and reasoning levels are through the roof. He amazes me. Much respect!

[vphklng]

It’s a lose lose situation whoever gets in, no US President has ever truly supported the Palestinian people at all.

He’s a Modern Day Hero! May God Bless him!!

Bassem words are on point — impressive man.

[MrShanky]

He’s frustrated. I’m frustrated with the Gaza issue. A lot I agree with him and he’s exercising his freedom of speech. Fair enough.

[MrLawyerNomics]

Man is in the wrong profession of comedy, he has more articulation and intellect than any present politician

If US had not vetoed the ceasefire..sidra, reem, hind and thousands more children and their loved ones could have been saved.

"It only took four years as a citizen to lose hope in elections" you're definitely a full American now, congrats

[RasheedKhan-hexx]

I've never seen Bassam this agitated .He's usually more laconic and wears an amused look on his face as he speaks on serious matters of life and death. Its getting to him like it is getting to all of us. The sheer mounting anger and frustration and horror and disgust .

[marj]

Not a fan of Trump but I’ve lost all respect for Biden. America desperately needs help.

[nelson]

I never get bored listening to Bassem 😊

People don't understand that we are supporting palestinian, not supporting hamas.

It was israel and american who makes this like a binary option. Whether you chose israel or hamas. And no palestinian in between
