Mehdi Hasan & Sammy Obeid on college protests: “Intifada is basically a Taylor Swift song.”

These college kids will be remembered as heroes.

Mehdi is ahead of time... He created this show because he knows 'Comedians are making more sense than politicians'

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.

I've lost long-time friends over this issue. I'm an old yt lady and pretty much disgusted by most of my cohort. Didn't realize I should have been asking potential friends "What's your take on genocide? Never acceptable, or okay as long as the victims are poorish, brownish, believe differently from you, and waaay over there living on land an ally realllly wants?" We are witnessing children's flesh burned to the bone by white phosphorus, journalists slaughtered, health care workers being buried alive, life-sustaining infrastructure devastated, deliberate famine, but they clutch pearls over the indecorous inconvenience of protestors in the streets and on campuses. Oh, they did maybe blink for a sec when WCK was "accidentally bombed" with three successive strikes, but they see how it could happen. I'm so grateful to the protestors for all they are risking as they try to save us.

I’m so glad you have Sammy Obeid on. A Palestinian comedian- he will have a unique perspective.

Respect for the students. They are the concience of the world. History will be on their side❤❤

Free speech and free Palestine 🇵🇸

Sami Obeid is the Master of his Craft. If his material wasn't so "controversial" he would be considered one the Greatest Comedians of our time.

Sammy is so underrated. I always laugh at his youtube short. Especially when he strings 4-5 random things from audiences , into a story and narrative without sound nonsense

these brave young people remind me of past revolutionary heroes in history that fight for humanity

I am an East African(Eritrean), and Christian. But when october 7 happened, the first time i heard the news, i am sad to say my first thought was "that was bound to happen". I felt a bit guilty later after i heard about the systemic rape and beheaded babies (which turned out to be false). What i am trying to say is that anyone who knows the history of the region knows that the palestinians are underdogs and you don't expect to live in peace after shattering the peace of your neighbours. All my friends who were completely pro israel, didn't know the history and only knew that " Jews were the chosen people". Now i am glad that people are seeing the truth. Maybe now things will change.

Now the students in my country, Sweden, have also started their encampments. All love and respect to all of them.

What a phenomenal growth! Leaving MSNBC is the best thing that could have happened to you! You will leave them in the dust! Go go go! I stand with you! And Palestine!

This should be an ongoing podcast in itself

You both are my brothers. I’m an American of Lebanese and Palestinian descent. Thank you for being our voice.

Comedians have by a complete fluke become the conscience of society. They are the only people left with the courage to consistently speak truth to power.

I knew Mehdi was going to grow this YouTube channel really fast because he always cared about truth and justice.

Sammy did a free show at my small college 11 or 12 years ago. Pretty cool to see him here!

I encourage everyone to watch any of former president Jimmy Carters interviews on the Palestine Israeli conflict.

Awesome to see 2 smart, witty guys in their fields debunking the narrative- Kudos to you both!
