Boycotting Israeli products is no longer just a political issue, it's a safety issue.

Finally good news, Biden just approved an $8 billion package to fight the wildfires in California. Oh wait that was for Israel to fight hospitals, sorry.

I’ve posted plenty of sets where I preach the choir, but this one I performed for an organization with a rocky (sure, pun intended) track record with the Palestinian community. Glad it was caught by a random audience member (my plus one)

Speaking for myself only. But if I ever get taken hostage, and the only way to free me is by killing hundreds to thousands of civilians, just leave me.

I’ve been talking about Israel/Palestine in my stand up for over 10 years. I’ve received death threats, racial slurs, and worst of all, told I’m not funny. I don’t pretend to be a solution, nor is my intention to laugh at tragedy. It's simply to invite more people to care.

The US is giving $157 million in humanitarian aid to Lebanon to help repair damage from the $8.7 billion military aid just sent to Israel. Doing the math, that’s like offering displaced North Carolina residents $750 after sending $226 Billion directly to Hurricane Helene.

I’d say it was an interesting night. My comic friend booked me to headline a private social club. I couldn’t completely go off the rails for my friend’s sake, but had to speak my mind. Watch the full set on YT it’s even crazier.

No, Palestinians are not taught to kill Americans at 2 years old (nor at any age). The problem we should be talking about is why Americans aren’t taught that Palestinians are being killed at 2 years old. By American bombs that are only 2 months old.

How do ceasefires magically happen before Thanksgiving/Black Friday (2 years in a row now) but can’t magically happen before an election? Could it be because our money is more important than our vote? Nahhhh.

Devastated by the loss of my dear friend, United Healthcare CEO Brian Th – just kidding, the one and only Kabir Singh (Kabir would’ve loved that joke and been mad if I didn’t try). Kabir was my best friend in comedy, and my biggest fan. He passed way in his sleep two nights ago.

Honest question. If this loss for the Democrats is enough of a lesson to stop the party from being willfully complicit in Palestinian genocide, or even genocides in general - do you not consider that a good thing?.

TikTok banned me after repeated flags on my (comedy) videos on Israel/Palestine. Yes, videos critical of Israel’s politics. I have no regrets. I know in my heart I’m doing the right thing & I forgive whoever tried to silence me. I’m OK with temporary silence. I’ve done open mics.

My Jiddo (grandpa) Adil Iliya left Beirut in 1948 and went straight to Texas. He got a cowboy hat quickly, so nobody gave him sh*t. In Dallas, he ran his own practice, saving lives as a neurosurgeon. Sure, I don’t save lives with jokes, but I am just like Jiddo bc I like to go
