Bassem Youssef is an Egyptian-American former surgeon, comedian and activist that was helped to come to the United States by Jewish-American comedian Jon Stewart in the 2010s. He became known for an interview he did with Piers Morgan a few days after the October 7 attacks where he criticized a lot of traditional pro-Israel narratives, an interview you can see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4idQbwsvtUo
Since then he's embraced the likes of Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson from a 'populist' lens, drew controversy for claiming Jews run the American media and most companies, and just now did a warm interview with and endorsed open white supremacist Dan Bilzerian. He has been promoting clips on his social media from that interview for weeks, including snippets were Bilzerian talks about how most early leftists were Jews and explicitly targeted and murdered millions of Christians, which you can see here: https://x.com/Byoussef/status/2080714633313148961.
Youssef, who previously described himself as a "blue no matter who" progressive, has alluded to a defence of his positions where since Israel is the Great Satan and the biggest problem in the world today, opposing Israel needs to be the number one criteria for anyone and someone who opposes them from a Nazi viewpoint is more valuable than a liberal, progressive or mainstream conservative who does not. Furthermore, he has suggested that since 'Zionists' have support on the left and right, the pro-Palestine movement should not be limited to solely courting the left-of-center in response. Mainstream and even hard right conservatives generally oppose Palestine and often Muslims in general, but white nationalists and neo-Nazis often oppose Israel on anti-semitic grounds, so they are fair game for support. What are your thoughts on these arguments, and Youssef's courting of Bilzerian in general? Could a progressive/white nationalist alliance against Israel be viable?

Perhaps it was in the past as well, in regards to immigrant populations already in the country, and you just never noticed it or the reasons for it because there was no social media.
