Were Israel’s Actions in the Gaza War Justified? Eylon Levy vs. Mehdi Hasan

Mosab’s Key Point: "Hamas’s charter calls for the murder of all Jews. You cannot negotiate with an organization that believes your existence is a sin."
Cenk’s Response: Tried to deflect by blaming Israel’s policies, but could not refute Hamas’s founding principles.

Mosab’s Evidence: Cited past ceasefires (2014, 2021) where Hamas stole aid money to build tunnels and rockets.
Cenk’s Weak Reply: "Israel blockades Gaza!" (Mosab countered: "Because Hamas turns water pipes into missiles!")

Mosab’s Brutal Truth: "Hamas doesn’t want a state—it wants jihad. My father [a Hamas founder] taught me this."
Cenk’s Flailing: Claimed "extremists can change" but offered zero examples of Hamas moderating.

Cenk Uygur’s Failure: Ignored Hamas’s Atrocities, Never condemned: Oct. 7 rapes/massacres. Hamas’s use of human shields. Hamas leaders stealing billions in Qatar. Relied on Emotional Guilt-Tripping: "Look at Gaza’s suffering!"

Mosab fired back: "Blame Hamas, not Israel!"

Cenk’s solution: "Just end the war!"

Mosab’s rebuttal: "That means Hamas wins and repeats Oct. 7."
Cenk’s deflections fell flat (e.g., when Mosab asked: "Would you negotiate with ISIS?").

Mosab: Exposed Hamas’s unchangeable genocidal goals with irrefutable insider proof.
Cenk: Offered no realistic path to peace, just wishful thinking.

Cenk represents the Western left’s Hamas apologia—moralizing without solutions.
Mosab represents reality: Some enemies cannot be reasoned with.

Debates like this prove: The pro-Hamas narrative crumbles under scrutiny.

Mosab Hassan Yousef is so powerful with the facts. Waoh !!

Sink is so disrespectful to himself first and others he is in a room with by laughing at all situations and scenarios… go do stand up comedy somewhere else.

Funny how Cenk, who is a Turk that has committed genocides and threatens to do another right now, can go on and on about Israel.
Also funny how he doesn't want to ever bring up that every time Israel has had to "bomb children", that the area those kids were at just so happened to be launching missile attacks from them, every single time.
How much of a scum bag do you have to be to cry for the side that holds their own children up as meat shields, just so they can score sympathy points with the moronic masses, Cenk?

If your not going to hold Cenk accountable for his emotional sarcasm and mis-truths, why would I watch more of ''Open to Debate'' Mosab lived what he is talking about. Shame on ''Open to Debate''

Cenk you are turkish, go parade Edrogan against the stupidity he does in turkey, why do you put your nose in a thing you do not belong in?

This comment section full of IDF trolls, Cenk schooled this lunatic

You can't make piece with people whu try to kill you (Golda Meir)

egypt negotiated with Israel because egypt was loosing

MOSAB = MOSAD both are very angry promoters of violence

Must be bunch of Netanyahu's AI bots in here cuz y'all **** trippin

all these comments from IDF cyber army

I do not trust anything his opinion says.

Can israel make peace with hamas heck no hamas seeks the destruction of the jewish and western world that'd be like a gazelle trying to make peace with a lion

Yes both contestants got very emotional and yes the subject is very contentious. But I believe that if both sides kept talking then at least both sides can express their views openly for the world to see, and come to their own conclusion. God bless Israel forever

What a ridiculous question

Good debate model. Thanks for having intelligent people with different perspectives

Gunk stupidity is equal to his fatness

Do not trust anyone from the Middle East this is the way they make their income if you were to stop the war they would all be out of a job

Ive just fact checked the popularity of Netanyahu its higher than its ever been so liar cenk

How does cenk get airtime totally hates israel

This guy, Uygur, never set foot in Gaza. So, he should not be here debating with Mosab who has deep experience in Gaza and Middle East.

I stand with Mosab. The other guy looks like a clown and does not know what he is talking about.

Its so funny how cenk thinks that palestinians would be a peaceful democracy if left alone. .. it would never happen. Islam prevents it. Theae people are not like us. 2 cultures that arebtotally opposite

Bro.... you cannot negotiate with muslim countries. They will break ANY treaty if they feel like they are strong enough. Luckily most muslims countries are very weak. Thats why any treaty with iran or any muslim country will never work.

One of these is morally clear
The other is Cenk
Every society makes distinctions on the intent around end of life
By his logic there is no difference between involuntary manslaughter, friendly fire and first degree murder 🤦‍♀️ this is expected from teenagers not grown men…
One is a Warrior the other is the guy in his mum’s basement tweeting from the safety and comfort 1000s miles away
The hide the ball that Cenk needs to do is pretty disgusting. Blind Tribalism has obscured any moral calculus.
If the answer is predictable,
Critical thinking is usually the casualty.

Cenk lost this badly. He doesn't get it.

Listen to Mosab. HE KNOWS WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT!!! HE WAS ONE OF THEM, KE KNOWS WHAT THE TRUTH IS! JENK HAS NO CLUE WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE!!!

Cenk is so dellusional!!!

Mossab is need to go mental health care. He don't now where he came from and going

If Cenk is a moderate muslim, then good god I support Israel. What a bloody cretin.

Am Yisrael Chai 🙏🏻❤️🇮🇱

I agree with mosab.his views is based on facts and history.palestine side is base on lies and distorted history

Not all people are the same. Not all cultures are the same. The culture of gaza right now is in fact, savagery and barbaric. There is no way a peace will hold. 0% chance of total peace within 1 year i bet.

Skunk the punk is so full of it

Cenk & people like him willfully ignore that many Islamic terrorist groups want extermination of Jews & anyone who is not Muslim. So The Palestinian issue is simply a tactic of doing that.

Free Palestine 🇵🇸

'Can America make peace with al-Qaida', the next talking point Open to Debate.

You are part of the problem! I don’t like your video! Israel has tried to compromise with Hamas! It’s not can Israel make peace with Hamas!!!! It’s can Hamas make peace with Israel! there is no debate this is 100% bull. They massacred People in Israel on October 7 2023. They attacked first and have been attacking first before October 7.
Let me say this you can not negotiate with terrorists! Islamic groups call for the eradication of the of Israel, you can’t negotiate with that. It’s like saying can the Jews make peace with hitler. One faction wants to kill the other you can’t make peace with that.

Obviously wisdom doesn’t come with age. cenk is so stupid. He doesn’t even look stupid but he actually is.

Kudos to mosab hassan yousef for putting g up with dead brain man!

Cenks comparison of Hamas to Democrat confederacy is short sighted b/c the Confederates lost the war pursued integrating into the Union. Slave owners had direct/hands on control of peoples bodies for economic viability. For these two situations to be similar, slaves in America would need to be taking up arms in effort to realize something similar to the black belt that the Soviet Comintern had actually planned from the early 1900s…

“To defeat monsters, you have to abandon your humanity” wow never thought AOT would be so accurate

Has anyone ever heard of or read of the Turkish wrestler even MENTIONING the likes of the blood - gorged tyrants Erdogan & Aliyev ( ‘Who ? ‘ ),….I thought not.

Oh god, I needed this video after the day I had. I was dying laughing listening to some of Cenk’s points. He is such a clueless tool. he has a child’s understanding of the way the world works

Mosab Hassan Yousef Thank you for your true words, I salute you in the name of Israel for putting these liars in their place

CENK YOU ARE IMPOSSIBLE, you will never make peace, you lie about everything stop playing a comedian.// Thank you Mosab for staying calm and HONEST. PLEASE DON'T DEBATE WITH THAT CENK ABYMORE. 🙏🙏🙏 AND STAY SAFE PLEASE✌👍👌🌺🌱
