I think there was no honest question in this interview or attempt to delve into both sides of the conflict. All questions are framed to make israel a victim why can people not tell the truth on the crimes israel has commited we all know the crimes on the side of hamas the plo etc and personally can admit they are horrific but I don't understand why people keep brushing aside the continued land grabbing of israel in a territory they say they have no presence in. I understand why Bassem is frustrated. But thank you for having him on, although most don't seem to appreciate it.

He can't say that Israel should've invaded Gaza since day 1 instead of carrying out large scale airstrikes for example. Which is something that'd cost Israel hundreds more in casualties but would've saved thousands of lives. Why? Because his audience, the Arab audience that has celebrated October 7th, does not think that Israel has any right to retaliate in any way to October 7th.

It's not even two nations... It's one nation and a group of people who "identify" as Palestinians. There is no Palestine. There never was an independent nation of Palestine. For a while back around 200 AD, the Romans called a small ROMAN province "Palestine", but that was after they conquered the Jews, ran them out and renamed Judea just to annoy the vanquished.... but even that was named for the Philistines... the Jew's historical enemy. I had a college professor describe the Palestine issue like modern day Scandinavia. There is no Scandinavia, it's just what we refer to as a region that is really Denmark, Norway and Sweden.... sometimes Finland and Iceland... and a few other islands in the North Atlantic.

The Palestinians would eradicate their opponent, you say. But where precisely is historic evidence for that, if I may ask? The Germans tried that in the 20th century, and there is evidence of that. The Russians tried that in the late 19th century, and there is evidence of that. But where precisely, is the evidence that Palestinians (as distinct from Hamas) who are comprised of muslims sunni and shia, christians orthodox, catholic and protestant, druze and samaritan, where is the evidence that they historically have interned, beseiged, starved out or killed on a systematic scale the jews? If there is insufficient historic evidence to justify your claim then one wonders what makes you so confident that palestinians would do that in the future.

When a country’s elected government commits a massacre, the response need not be ‘fair’. In this situation, a competent government should respond with intent to deter anyone thinking of trying something similar in future. If Gazans don’t like what is happening, why aren’t they on the street protesting? Why aren’t they informing the IDF of Hamas locations? Because, as much as they complain about Israel’s response, they (in the vast majority) consented to Hamas’ actions of October 7th.

The notion that Israel's response to Oct. 7th should be "fair" or "proportional" is clearly irrational and has no merit. And given that Hamas and the jihadis hide behind civilians or in UN funded tunnels, a fair response might be seen as no response at all, just in case the civilans get in the way and get killed . A ludicrous idea that many of the armchair critics of Israel espouse. As for the person being interviewed, he should be regarded as representative of the colonisers of the land of ancient Israel that are getting a dose of their own medecine.

The argument that Hamas murdering innocent civilians in their homes is justification for Israel’s blockade to prevent Hamas from murdering innocent civilians will never make sense to me.

when they start using words like “atrocity”, it becomes clear that a person has no real arguments other than emotions

Bassem is struggling to not be emotional because he's been under threat himself and been powerless himself and he can identify. It's hard to hate him for it. It is also not surprising that ANY country that has an attack like October 7th would want to annihilate the region that did it. I don't have a good solution for any of this. But I think Bassem's emotions have left him unable to have a good conversation about how to handle this. But he's not completely wrong that Israel has gone much farther than most of us in our worst-case scenario, thought might happen. But when he says that "something horrific happened in the past doesn't justify... does that also not mean it would be best for the Arab Muslims of the region to let go of the past, and start new lives that aren't based upon what their great grandparents lost?
