This was three weeks ago.
Youssef: … those Palestinians are very dramatic, ‘Ah, Israel is killing us.’ But they never die, they always come back. They’re very difficult people to kill. I know because I’m married to one. I tried many times, couldn’t kill her.
Morgan: There’s a dark humour there, and I understand why… /
Youssef: Oh, it’s not dark humour: I try to get to her every time but she uses our kids as human shields. I can never take her out.
Morgan: Again, I understand the humour, but to be serious, Bassam, about this…
Youssef: Okay, I will be serious. I was watching your interview with Ben Shapiro, and I will tell you one thing: I think Ben Shapiro is one of the smartest people who ever walked this earth. He’s very, very smart. I follow him and I believe everything he says. And… his solution was, the solution for this is for “Israel to annex Gaza and to kill as many sons of bitches as possible to make sure this will never happen again”. And anyone who called for a cease-fire will be a terrorist sympathiser, so god forbid, I don’t want to be labelled as a terrorist sympathiser, so I agree with Ben Shapiro: I think we should kill as many sons of bitches as possible. So far, 3,500 people were killed… One-third of those 3,500 were children. So my question to Ben Shapiro is: How many more sons of bitches do we need to kill so Ben Shapiro is happy?
Because it changes from year to year… the question is: What is a proportionate response? Because it has been different from one year to another. [Brings out a graph of deaths by year] So if you look to this graph for example, this is the death of Israelis and Palestinians, it changes from one year to two year, it’s like fluctuating like crypto. What is the going rate today for human lives? I mean, 2014 was a great year for Ben Shapiro. 88 Israelis died and there were 2329 Palestinians killed on the other side. That is one Israeli for 27 Palestinians. That’s a very good exchange rate. What I’m saying is, what is the exchange rate for today?
