As a young American Jewish man trying to navigate the current conflict in Israel/Palestine, this man has been a breath of fresh air and a source of hope and inspiration to me

The story stuck with me; a Gazan mother who survived the bombardement and transferred to Egypt from Rafah border for medical treatment, tells a story to one of the UN members that she lost her all three children in the bombardement. She goes; Under the rubble one of her kids was screaming in pain, begging her to help stop the pain, daughters legs were shuttered, another one crying sheā€™s stuck to her chest. A mother describes that she had to bear the her childrens crying voice and then to silence because they were slowly dying. She couldnā€™t move, she couldnā€™t help, she could do nothing. So eventually sheā€™s rescued. Sheā€™s the only survivor. Yes sheā€™s alive but she sure sheā€™s dead inside. she says she hears her kids crying voice every day. There, I had to share the story I heard. I had to give the context of how horrific situation people of Gaza are going through to those who still defends Israel to this day.

I canā€™t imagine being so well spoken in a second language. This is powerful and necessary dialogue

Elham Farah, 84, had been sheltering inside the church for some time. On Sunday night she stepped outside the building to see if her house was still standing. She was shot in the leg and fell to the ground. People in the church were unable to rescue her, as each time they went out they came under fire. She lay in the street all night. On Monday morning it was reported that an Israeli tank ran over her body. Elham was a popular music teacher in Gaza, described as 'loving, calm and a true educator.' A devout Christian, she came from a strong Gazan Christian family. Her father Hanna Farah, was a well known Palestinian poet. She loved to travel to the West Bank when permission was given to the Gazan Christians to celebrate Christmas and Easter with the church there.

Hearing Bassem speak his second language, English, so fluently inspires me as I learn my 4th language, Arabic. I can't wait to speak even broken Arabic. šŸ˜…

I was born and raised in Morocco. My father was a French colonial fundamentalist christian, a very fervent zionist. What I heard of Oct 7 sounded so familiar. I had heard the same hate, dehumanizing talk about the Arabs in my childhood 65 yrs prior... So I didn't believe it. But I couldn't say it publicly. Bassem is a beautiful human. ā¤

This felt like watching two friends have a conversation more than an interview. I mean, they could indeed be long-time friends for all I know.

Easily the most impressive YouTube video I've ever watched. Bassem Youssef is one of the most unique humans "being" that I have ever encountered. Wise beyond belief, humble without using his humility as a rationale for considering himself better than another, and funnier than most comedians. They say that they funniest jokes are based upon real lifeā€¦and that's the magic of his humor. I wish he could run for presidentā€¦heck I'd be willing to fake a US Birth Certificate for him! Seriously he is precisely what Lex called him, a wonderful human being! We need one hundred more just like him!

i totally forgot Bassem was a salsa teacher in cairo, my roomie took lessons from him back in the early 2000. I never took lessons from Bassem nor did I ever dance with him, but we definitely did some social salsadancing in Cairo in general.

There is a very short list of people I could legitimately listen to all day. Bassem is most definitely on the list. What an amazing human

If Bassem wasn't forced to leave Egypt, we would have lost this great conversation. Its Lovely how universe put you in bad situation to come back with stronger role and mission.
