On October 7, Hamas, a militant group based in the Gaza Strip, launched a deadly attack on Israel, killing over 1,400 Israelis and kidnapping over 200. In retaliation, Israeli airstrikes have killed, as of this video, over 6,400 Palestinians in Gaza, where Palestinians have lived for decades under an occupation and blockade.
Since 1967, Israel has imposed tight restrictions on travel and essential goods such as food, fuel, medicine, and water in its occupied territories. In 2007, those restrictions became even tighter in Gaza after Hamas seized power there. Since then, it has been nearly impossible for Palestinians to leave Gaza or to access an adequate supply of essential goods.
Today, the Gaza Strip, with a population of over 2 million Palestinians, is a victim of what many call βcollective punishmentβ as Israel bombards its population, shuts off access to internet, power, food, water, and medicine, forces them to leave their homes, and prepares for a ground invasion.
This latest episode of Vox Atlas explains how the experience of Palestinians in Gaza got to this point, and whatβs behind Israelβs occupation and its blockade of Gaza.

Piers Morgan Uncensored is joined by Egyptian comedian Bassem Youssef and later on by co-founder of the Daily Wire, Jeremy Boreing, for a heated and emotive debate on the historical treatment of Palestine during their conflict with Israel and whether Israel’s decision to bomb Gaza in an attempt to get rid of Hamas is justified and proportionate after the attacks on October 7th.
Bassem condemns the terrorist organisation Hamas and tries to explain that people have been desensitised to accept that civilians dying is an inevitability of war.
Piers then suggests he doesn’t know what the “proportionate response” to a terrorist attack of Hamas’s scale would be. Bassem responds by referencing a graph that shows the total amount of deaths in the conflict prior to the attacks and questions the Palestinian killings in the West Bank, which has never been occupied by Hamas fighters.
Bassem then mocks Ben Shapiro for his public stance on Israel defending themselves, questioning how an occupier can be defending themselves. Shapiro’s friend and colleague Jeremy is then invited by Piers to debate Bassem’s criticisms.
Bassem Youssef Stuns Piers Morgan on Gaza: You βCompared Israel With ISIS!β
βSo my question to Ben Shapiro is, how many more sons of bitches do we need to kill so Ben Shapiro is happy?β Youssef rhetorically asked at one point.

Egyptian comedianΒ Bassem YoussefΒ accused British tabloid hostΒ Piers MorganΒ of comparing Israel to the terror group ISIS during a combative Tuesday interview that featured Youssef repeatedly deploying hisΒ trademarked dark satireΒ to address theΒ horrific violenceΒ in Gaza.
During a lengthy appearance on Talk TVβsΒ Piers Morgan Uncensored,Β Youssefβwho has been calledΒ Egyptβs Jon Stewartβreferenced his Palestinian wife and Gazan in-laws when asked to give his opinion on the brutal Hamas terror attacks.
βOh, it was terrible, of course,β Youssef replied. βI mean, we get all our news secondhand because my wifeβs family lives in Gaza. They have cousins and uncles there and their house also was bombed. We haven’t been able to communicate with them in the past three days. Communication has been lost so we don’t know how they are doing, but we are used to that!β
From there, Youssef dove deeper into the satirical well to describe theΒ atrocious conditionsΒ Palestinians are facing in Gaza, as well as the threat of non-stop violence they are subjected to from the Israeli military.
ΒβThose Palestinians, theyβre very dramatic. βAh, Israel is killing us,β but they never die,β he declared. βI mean, they always come back. Theyβre very difficult to kill, very difficult people to kill. I know, because Iβm married to one. I tried many times. I try to get to her every time, but she uses our kids as human shields.β
When Morgan said he understood Youssef was employing βdark humorβ on the topic, the former Egyptian television host shot back: βNo, itβs not dark humor. I really try to get her every time but she uses our kids as human shields!β
From there, Morgan said he wanted to be βseriousβ about the issue, prompting the comic to mock conservative commentatorΒ Ben Shapiro, who had appeared earlier on Morganβs show. At one point, Shapiro said the βonly solution to the Israel-Gaza war is that Israel should annex Gaza and kill as many people so that what is happening does not happen again.β
Sarcastically saying he agrees with Shapiro, who he snarked was βone of the smartest people who ever walked the earth,β Youssef said, βWe should kill as many sons of bitches as possibleβ to ensure the violence stops.
βSo my question to Ben Shapiro is, how many more sons of bitches do we need to kill so Ben Shapiro is happy?β Youssef rhetorically asked.
Morgan, meanwhile, insisted that Youssef was misrepresenting Shapiroβs position before airing a clip of The Daily Wire founder saying he believes in a βdisproportionate responseβ to terrorism.
βWhat is a proportionate response because it has been different from one tier to another? So, if you look at this graph, for example, this is the death of Israelis and Palestinians, and itβs changing from one year to year. Itβs fluctuating like crypto,β Youssef shot back, holding up a paper comparing lives lost in Palestine and Israel. βSo my question is today, what is the going rate today for human lives?β
Asked what he believes is an βappropriate wayβ for Israel to respond following the bloody terror attacks, Youssef continued to use black comedy to make his point.
βI would do exactly like Israel did: Kill as many people as possible since the world is letting me do it,β he said. βI mean, I can do it because I can.β
Youssef also ridiculed Shapiro and other conservatives for praising the Israeli Defense Forces for βwarningβ Palestinian civilians before bombing Gaza.
βThey said Israel is the only military force in the world that warns civilians before bombing them,β he snarked. βHow fucking cute! That is so nice of them because with this logic, if Russian troops started warning Ukrainians before bombing their houses, weβre cool with Putin, right?!β
The contentious discussion continued for 20 more minutes, with Youssef blaming propaganda thatΒ dehumanizesΒ Palestinians for theΒ recent murderΒ of a 6-year-old child. At one point, Youssef even compared Israel to the evil supervillain from the TV showΒ The Boys.
βI have never seen a victim putting their oppressor under siege and bombing them 24/7,β Youssef said. βIsrael wants you to believe that they are the victim. Dealing with Israel is so difficult. Itβs like being in a relationship with a narcissistic psychopath. He fucks you up and then makes you think itβs your fault. You look at Israel as Superman, but theyβre really Homelander!β
After Morgan said it is βvery difficultβ to see how Israel defeats Hamas βwithout massive collateral damage,β Youssef turned the British hostβs words back on him, suggesting Morgan was actually portraying Israel as a terrorist regime.
βSo if I can understand this correctly, basically Israel is doing this to pressure the Palestinian community in Gaza to turn against Hamas, is that right?β Youssef wondered.
βI’m sure thatβs part of it, yes,β Morgan replied.
βThatβs part of it,β Youssef continued. βSo this is exactly what terrorist organizations do because terrorist organizations will have no chance of beating a whole nation in battle so they terrorize 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!β
βNo, I havenβt. I donβt I donβt see any comparison between Israel and ISIS,β Morgan objected.
βItβs going to be the headlines tomorrow, βPiers Morgan: Israel Is ISIS,ββ Youssef quipped.
