The Antisemite Of The Year Nomination

@StopAntisemites recently dropped their “Top 10 Jew-Haters” list. Among the nominees? Egyptian-American satirist Bassem Youssef, accused of using his platform to spread harmful misinformation about Jewish people and Israel. Their statement highlighted his “most egregious moments,” including accusations that Israel orchestrated its own tragedies, denying documented atrocities by Hamas, and claiming Jews exploit a “victimhood” narrative.

Bassem Youssef’s response? Let’s just say he’s embracing the chaos like only a comedian can.

Bassem Youssef Got Satirical Skills!

Instead of retreating from the controversy, Bassem Youssef has leaned in—hard. He’s essentially turned the nomination into an election campaign, complete with witty one-liners and satirical arguments for why he deserves your vote over anyone else on the list.

As the “competition” unfolds, one thing’s certain: Bassem Youssef has once again proven he’s a master of comedic timing—even when the joke comes with a hefty dose of controversy!
