Bassem Yousef on TYT: Israel, allies on the right, and the San Diego mosque shooting

May 19, 2026

A long panel discussion arguing the anti-war movement should work with right-wing figures who oppose Israel, plus reactions to a deadly mosque shooting and a charity scandal.

  • Bassem Yousef and TYT hosts defend talking to Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, and Megyn Kelly because some have publicly walked back anti-Muslim views and now oppose Israel's war.
  • They criticize Mehdi Hasan and AOC for refusing such alliances, calling it a "purity test" that helps no one while Gaza burns.
  • The International Criminal Court is reportedly preparing more arrest warrants against top Israeli officials, including Netanyahu, Smotrich, and Ben-Gvir; Smotrich responded by threatening to demolish another Palestinian village.
  • A California judge ruled against the "Cars for Kids" charity after it was revealed donations mostly fund Orthodox Jewish summer camps and trips to Israel, not disadvantaged American kids.
  • Three Muslim men were shot dead at a San Diego mosque by two teenage suspects who left a note about "racial pride"; media is downplaying the anti-Muslim motive while figures like Laura Loomer blamed the victims.

Outlook: Expect more pressure on US politicians over Israel funding as the Massie race in Kentucky becomes a test of whether the Israel lobby can still buy Republican seats.
