Fiery Israel-Palestine Debate with Bassem Youssef

At 58:32 to 58:44, Bassem Youssef mistakenly stated that Robert Spencer is the founder of the "alt-right," whose followers chanted, "Jews will not replace us." What he meant to say was Richard Spencer, who is widely understood to be the founder of the "alt-right." Triggernometry apologises for not correcting this during the interview or in post-production.

Put him against the "Son of Hamas", please.

[oliverbassnett]

I don't understand how not wanting mass murder is controversial.

[randymiller]

I would LOVE to hear just ONE INTERVIEWER ask a question from the perspective of the Palestinian people instead of these one sided questions

[sevenseven]

If I was the prime minister of Israel, on October 8th I would investigate where IDF was because the border is heavily guarded.

[Justhumanbeing]

Very good question. How was life for Palestinians before October 7th!

[ParaquatSC]

"Iran for absolutely no reason". Oh yeah, no reason... Iran certainly has nothing to do with Hamas, Houthi, Hezbollah.

[polarbear]

If John Oliver was looking at a fairground mirror he would see the guy with glasses staring back at him.

[anythingbeyondlimit]

"I don't have an agenda". yeah sure you dont!

[tomasdesouza]

Konstantin broke the record of number of consecutive identical questions in an interview. Congratulations!

"Bassem Youssef is an Egyptian-American comedian and television host, often dubbed 'the Jon Stewart of the Arab world". Perhaps add "and a certified cardiothoracic surgeon?"

No disrespect to Stewart, but in their 20's, Bassem was in med school, while Jon was drinking bong water in Hollywood.

[Adris]

What’s ironic is, every discussion goes the same - once the interviewers are met with concrete facts. It is not instead counter argued, it is instead ignored and lead with a separate question.

[asagrant]

This was hard to watch. As someone who genuinely wanted to hear a coherent argument from the other side. I am not swayed by any of his arguments. No hope no solution. Just blame and anger. You can’t win people over by saying they are ok with the death of children

[imyourhuckleberry]

Bassem's surprise when Konstantin says he wouldn't kill civilians if he was Palestinian.

[rohmadtaleh]

The morality of the world is finish!!! There are people still support Israel while people of gaza is dying!!! No word to say, , ,

[finerbiner]

The comment section is filled with opinions that ignore the plight of the side they do not support. Why can none of these people understand that their one side is 100% right and the other side 100% evil opinions are what have kept this going for decades? Do you want to feel you are right or do you want to move towards a solution?

[billcarson]

Bassem shows why there will never be a two state solution. It is unwise to even try anymore.

The mark of true intelligence is being able to entertain an idea without accepting it. - Aristotle

Edit: Thank you to those who correctly pointed out that this quote was not actually attributed to Aristotle. Kudos to whoever first said it because it's accurate and well said. To those who say I support genocide merely because of my comment, you're allowing your emotions to override common sense. I stand firmly on the side of the Palestinian civilians.

[andorifjohn]

"I find this a very depressing conversation" we will remember.

[HopefulInterventions]

He is just saying that mass murder is wrong.
