🇵🇸🇮🇱 Egyptian Comedian Bassem Youssef on Israel:

“It’s like being in a relationship with a narcissistic psychopath, he fu**s you up and then he makes you think it’s your fault.”

A debate between TalkTV's Piers Morgan and Egyptian comedian Bassem Youssef about the Israel-Hamas war has been watched on YouTube 11 million times in 24 hours.

Mr Youssef turned the debate on its head with sarcasm in an attempt to throw Piers off course, forcing him to remind the comedian: "This is my show and not a monologue for you."

The former Egyptian television host mocked the spread of misinformation during the conflict and joked that Palestinians are difficult to kill.

"They never die, they always come back," he said. "They are very difficult to kill, very difficult people to kill. I know because I'm married to one. I've tried many times, I couldn't kill her."

Mr Youssef's wife, with whom he shares two children, is Egyptian-Palestinian.

When Piers said he understood Youssef's dark humour, the former Egyptian television host shot back: “No, it’s not dark humour. I really try to get her every time but she uses our kids as human shields!”

The comedian also mocked Jewish commentator Ben Shapiro, who was interviewed by Piers last week, for insisting on Israel's right to defend itself.

Sarcastically suggesting he agreed with Shapiro who is "one of the smartest people who ever walked the earth,” Youssef said: “We should kill as many sons of bitches as possible,” to stop the violence.

“So my question is: how many more sons of bitches do we need to kill so Ben Shapiro is happy?” he asked rhetorically.

He also mocked Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, falsely congratulating him for praising the Israeli Defence Force for "warning" Palestinian civilians before bombing Gaza.

“They said Israel is the only military force in the world that warns civilians before bombing them,” he said. “How fucking cute! That is so nice of them because with this logic, if Russian troops started warning Ukrainians before bombing their houses, we’re cool with Putin, right!?”

Piers suggested that he doesn't know what the "proportionate response" to a terrorist attack of Hamas's scale would be.

Youssef responded by showing a graph allegedly showing the number of deaths on both sides of the conflict prior to the attacks.

"What will be different this time?" he asked.

He then pretending to praise Piers for warning about the spread of misinformation during the Iraq war: "You are a good man, you are amazing.

"You know what is similar? You spreading the lies of 40 decapitated babies, although it was refuted," an allegation Piers denied.

After Piers highlighted Israel would not be able to defeat Hamas without "massive collateral damage,” Youssef suggested he was portraying Israel as a terrorist state.

“So, if I understand this correctly, Israel is doing this to pressure the Palestinian community in Gaza to turn against Hamas?” Youssef wondered.

“I'm sure that’s part of it, yes,” Morgan replied.

Youssef continued: “This is exactly what terrorist organisations do because terrorist organisations will have no chance of beating a whole nation in battle so they terrorise and they kill the civilians in order to spread fear and terror so they can turn against their government to change their policy or to resign. You have just compared Israel with ISIS!”

“No, I haven’t. I don’t I don’t see any comparison between Israel and ISIS,” Piers objected.

“It’s going to be the headlines tomorrow: Piers Morgan: Israel Is ISIS," Youssef joked.
