“You understand that I’m a semite myself, right?” While speaking to Channel 4 in an interview that was published on Thursday, Egyptian-American comedian Bassem Youssef responded to antisemitism accusations and said such accusations have become “devoid of anything, of meaning”.
@MiddleEastEye And you and @Byoussef both know that the “Palestinians” are a made up people if you want to get all technical. They are simply Arabs who got kicked out of other Arab countries. Those countries don’t want them back either and it has nothing to do with displacement. 💙🇮🇱💙🇮🇱
@MiddleEastEye @Byoussef This is like a straight man who hates gay people being challenged for his hatred and responding with: “how can I be homophobic? ‘Homo’ in Latin means a man and I am a man, I can’t be “homophobic.”
@MiddleEastEye Ridiculous. Antisemitism has one meaning and one only: hatred of jews. Nothing to do with all semites, as this word was created in Europe where the only semites were jews. This man is a perfect example of such definition.
@MiddleEastEye No one gives a fuck about you Bassem, all you do is spitting lies, not facts. Your hatred is showing, the eyes do not lie.
@MiddleEastEye Arabs are also semites. To say otherwise is also antisemitism.
