Oh my god, can I have a hug?

Cool.

How are you?

How are you? You're good? How are you? I'm good. Good, you good. Very nice to see. I'm so glad you came into that. Of course. I mean, I like, I want to always be in person. It's much nicer. It's great. You've been critical of me saying, I only do what I do because I'm after click. I never said that about it.

You did.

I know that you mean well, but you are trying to two-sided. You're two-one-sided. We should believe that Hamas went in with AK-47 and caused that kind of damage. What's your argument? The Israelis do all about themselves? A series of reports of women who were raped and abused by Hamas. You don't believe any of you? You think none of this happened? No, I don't believe. You're trying to put a little protective shield up to what Hamas did. And my response is, I don't know why you would do that. Hamas being an Islamic faction, I'm not a big fan, but you should not punish our population because a militant group did some atrocities.

What else would you accept?

If you treat people like animals, they will behave like animals.

All these cars were obviously blown up by Israel.

Hamas didn't do that to any of them.

Amas didn't rape or abuse any women.

And it's all bullshit.

A year ago this week, I interviewed an exiled Egyptian comedian about the aftermath of October the 7th.

It was a time of intense anger and passion.

Bassim Yusuf's jarring and satirical take became globally iconic.

A month later, we met again face-toface, and has adopted home city of Los Angeles.

And Bassam has since become an unwitting global spokesman for the Palestinian cause

and against the way it's been reported by Western media.

Well, more than a year in, the war rages on.

There's a lot to catch up on.

For the first time ever in the uncensored studio here in London. Basim Yusuf rejoins me.

Bassim, great to see you.
