Moral abdication sums it up perfectly.
Neither Hamas or Israel want a ceasefire, and even if they did, they don't care what some nobody in Scotchland thinks.

So proud of Humza Yousaf and of Scotland, both!

Humza Useless is a disgusting racist and hypocrite himself, the sooner he's booted out of politics the better.
Thank you for your humanity
Thankyou for your bullshit
So appreciate this interview with Yousaf with his honesty and compassion. As a Scot myself, living in a Western Country, I do resonate, having lost a brother in Vietnam a senseless US involved conflict. War, bombs senseless killing, illegal occupation is never the answer. NEVER AGAIN are hollow words!!!!
Hud yer wheest
As aScot??Well this Scot is goin tae tell ye ye Ken hee haw pal. He's been an absolute nightmare. HUMZA said Scotland has too many Scots in it pal. HUMZA SHORTSHANKS he's, now known as. He's hated by the majority of SCOTS, scotch guy in a western country?? Would that be Scotland.? AYE or NAW
Your no in Scotland obviously you have no idea pal.. Humza lol. Aye OK pal. I'll be polite since yer obviously no Scottish. Yer clueless eh
So proud of the Scots, hope you guys do the independence referendum. Youre a powerhouse Scotland!
Thank you 😊 Unfortunately we need to have permission from Westminster to have a referendum and they won't allow it to happen because need our multiple resources ...like every other country they colonise! We are being tied in complicity to the British empire 😡🤮

Labour and Tories have handed Scotland to the SNP for decades to come.
Im not a Scot, SNP supporter or a Muslim.
Im English, Independant candidate supporting, Christian. That said Hamza Yousef is the greatest, most compassionate and empathetic politician of our age.
If I were in Scotland, I'd vote Hamza Yousef every time. He is a credit to his faith, his family and Scotland as a whole.
He is a shining example of ethics, morality and honesty that any and all others should follow.
God bless Hamza Yousef, his family and his extended family, Wishing them all peace for the future Inshallah!
I am a SCot. You clearly have not seen Humzas “white rant”. It was so overtly racist and I was absolutely appalled. Scotland is over95% white so of course will be represented in government accordingly. In this racist rant he said the officials names followed individually by the word “white”. Is this way to address the country and people that welcomed his parents ?
Since Humza entered into politics he has not been a success anything he has done, most notably the health minister. Services have been decimated across the board since the snp got into power. Problems such as health, education, a failing infrastructure, the highest incidence of dug related deaths in Europe, issues in child poverty…….
Scotland once had a world reputation for fiscal prudence , not so with the snp .There are huge holes in their budget There are big questions over Humza sending finance to Gaza which is not his right and he invited Gaza's to come to come to Scotland which also is not within his power.
Scotland has an EMIGRATION problem and always has had as Alex Salmond alluded to shortly after the eureferendum. Scotland is a great country but not because of the snp but despite it.
Should the snp get in the GE it will not be because people have faith in thesnps ability to govern but simply because people believe the Tories and labour would even worse. People are fed up with the political games. And the snp could not organise a 4 lettered word in a brothel.
Lastly the Gaza issue is very complex and there is no easy answer. Do we just ignore the fact that Hamas stated that should there be a ceasefire then they will simply repeat the exercise that took place on 7/10?
Nobody on either side wand the unnecessary suffering of innocent civilians and Scotland is no different.

So, by my math that less than 1;10 (1 in 10) against me (9.091% to be precise), you are in a minority of opinion. If you are so democratically minded, then you should accept that you lose here.
I have not attested to the ability or successes of Humza Yousef, have I? or of the worthiness or opinions he holds. I have said that If I were in scotland I would (on the bases of what I have heard) voted for him.
I made clear I was not a Scot or in Scotland, so what is your point?
Are you so dismayed by your political failures in Scotland to prevent your sectarian allegiances effecting the ousting of the SNP or have you come to realise that nobody in Scotland agrees with you personally?, I feel you come to the internet and spout this to those it does not affect because you get no traction with this bile in Scotland and just want to be heard?
You have nothing but blame for everyone, Scots have emigrated away for centuries before Alex Salmond, not only Scotland, but Ireland, Wales, and England too, From Iceland Greenland and France, Germany, and the whole continent of Africa. You are being myopic and using a lot of generalisations and targeted blame. That is the way of the loser, the defeatist and the pathetic.
lastly you disagree with the SNP and say that if the SNP win the next General Election (GE) it is only because Scots don't want the Tories or Labour, well if it is not Tories, Labour LibDems or SNP just who do Scots want then?
This is a bottom of the barrel discussion with you because everyone is unfit and there is no best option for you as far as I can see. Perhaps you should errrm, emigrate!
😅 We are all entitled to our own views and opinions and I have good reason on to stand by mine as I previously explained. They are based on fact and experience.

The suffering of the children is by far the hardest to bare!!
A little boy of about 18 months sitting bruised & trembling will stay with me for ever!
Reminds me so much of my childrens reaction to fireworks at that age!
But nobody to hold him tight & tell him he’d be ok!
Never wanted to reach through the screen & take that child & keep him safe so much before!
Feel completely helpless!!
Similarly, it was a little boy of about 3, he was uncontrollably trembling hugging a tree for dear life, if I could have reached him I would have cradled him in my arms to try and ease his pains !!!
I have never in my life cried so painfully !!!
No one could ever justify the cruelty being given to these innocent little kids, I’m not religious but I hope their god will judge them with the same compassion they themselves have shown !!! 😢😢
Solid respect for our FM and the SNP on their stance. They are on the right side of history. Shame on Sunak and Starmer. They are frightened to offend the US and Netanyahu by voting in the Security Council of the UN for a ceasefire.
Allowing anti-semitism to rise unabated again in Europe is NOT being on the right side of history!
Freedom for Palestine
Freedom for Gaza
Freedom for all humans.
Thank you for this interview and the SNP being the voice of leadership
It’s refreshing to also hear a party leader and a national leader being open and not hiding behind PR experts “talking points”.
He's not a national leader as the nation did not choose him via fair and democratic elections. He is a fool and a fraud..
Great interview. Humza Yousaf is the rational, humane voice of British politics. He represents the voices in Scotland, but he speaks for the many people across the whole UK who want the government to stop this madness and call for an immediate ceasefire, stop sending arms to Israel. He spoke with emotion and sincerity. I applaud his stance ,what a wonderful human being... Scotland should be proud of their first minister, I'm sure they are. 🏴🇵🇸

Thank you Humza . Fantastic interview. I am grateful for his humanity. I am not Palestinian or Muslim but I too have cried every day several times at least during this G3n 0 cide.

I keep thinking I will wake up and be so relieved that it was just a nightmare

Thank you

Nice one Yousaf Humza, you and George will save Britain, hands down
I very much admire Humza Yousaf, and the more I see of him, the more I like and admire him (the direct opposite is true for the leaders of the two biggest Westminster political parties!). I think this is the third long-form interview I’ve seen with him in the past few weeks, and I definitely think he should continue doing them in a wide variety of channels to reach the most people possible, and demonstrating just how thoroughly decent, honourable, and personable he is; and above all, the very clear leadership qualities he possesses in spades, and that he’s returned as the first minister in Scotland at the next general election. I live in London and I wish I could vote for him!
Why is it Scotland seems to have a moral compass and make sense in most of its polices. As an Englishman it just puts our leaders and system to shame. Give the Scots independence they are clearly on a different path and good on them.
It seems to me that he leaders of the whole UK and the potential leaders of the UK HAVE to do what the US wants-and what Zionist sponsors want. I guess Scotland is not under the same kind of pressure as they are simply not a threat...😪 Not until independence, which the establishment-and no doubt the CIA if necessary-will do everything to prevent.
As an English woman, the puppet so-called leaders don't speak for me and never did. Independence from the puppets and the puppeteers for England too and #FreePalestine
100%. I’m also English, living in London - once a Labour member, but I won’t be voting for them this time around (with the exception of voting for one of my local Labour councillors when those elections roll around, because she’s great - a woman of colour who truly cares about and stands up for her constituents!).
I’d previously been quite pleased that David Lammy was my MP, especially given the absolute state of some other London constituency MPs; but he previously lost my enthusiastic support over his failure to fully support trans rights, and since October he’s taken any regard I once held him in and stomped all over it (several horrifying segments on his shows on LBC and absolutely berating his callers when they tried to question his pro-Israel stance come to mind).
I’ll be doing my research into the candidates and probably voting Green… it would be a dream to have the option of voting for someone like Humza Yousaf, because he’s clearly a decent and brilliant leader! (Clearly he’s not the leader of a party anymore, but I’ve been a fan of Jeremy Corbyn for ~14 years, though alas, I haven’t lived in his constituency for the vast majority of that time!)
And if Scotland want to seek independence, clearly they have the right to self-determination just the same as the Palestinians do! So while I don’t *want* Scotland to leave the UK and I don’t know if it’s a good idea for them or not, it’s very much not up to me, and they should have the right to decide it! 🏴
At least Scotland have a government just for them, England don't. @@EmmaVB82

What an amazing person and a credit to the Scottish people. His compassion and humility should touch every one of us.
So it does not worry you that he is a firm supporter of LGBTQ..How does this fit in with Islam?
@@aisharoberts2583 his relationship with his faith and personal beliefs is really not anyone's business but his own
In Islam it is haram for someone who calls himself a Muslim to be or support LGBT..He is not keeping his views personal but declaring them publically..There lies the flaw in your comment..If he does not like this fact & does not agree with it, that is his choice he does not have to remain being a Muslim. Islam is a choice..
@aisharoberts2583 for me he is a compassionate person who stands against the slaughter of innocent people..the rest is up to Allah.
Having compassion & support for those engaged in propagating what Allah has clearly designated as haram makes one complicit in that evil..Remember the story of Lot? Even in the bible it declares explicitly that it is an abomination..Words are easy..especially for political gain..We as Muslims must follow the "Straight path"..Al Fatihah.."You say leave it up to Allah yet you are intentionally supporting something that Allah has clearly stated is haram?
As a Scot living in England I am so proud of the stance taken by the SNP and in particular, Humza and Stephen Flynn on the situation in Gaza. So embarrassed and ashamed to be considered British.
Your leader thinks there's too many white people living in Scotland
I really respect this wonderful man. We could do with him in England . I wish him all the best. He is so real,so sincere. Very refreshing.
He thinks there's too many Scots in Scotland
The horror unfolding in Gaza is like nothing seen before.The majority of the 2.3 million Gazan Palestinians, around 1.5 million, are now in Rafah, and these people, traumatized by four months of ongoing carpet bombing, are starving, are without shelter and diseases are rapidly spreading amongst them.
The death toll is closing in on 30,000 Palestinians, with the majority being civilians. Over 100,000 Palestinians have been injured or killed. Thousands are lost under the rubble of the more than 50 percent destroyed buildings. Food, water, medicine and fuel supplies have been cut since October
I sm with you , you r very descent compassionate human being and just watching you gives me some hope because i am losing it every second , just a lay person and feel very helpless , may he bestow you and your family strength 💪 to eradicate the ignorance that prevails in our world .
Very moving interview.
The only hypocrisy on view, is the complete lack of discussion of Palestinian leadership.
Big up for first minster
What an amazing interview. Extremely well presented and represented
Thank you Hamza

The world loves you Sir we muslims are proud
Tears streaming. I have so much love and compassion for oor First Minister, he speaks for me, until Scotland and Palestine are Free.
How about calling for the hostages to be free? That would help everyone. He missed that important point
I’m crying every day too. And I’m an American. I’m so ashamed of my government.
Love Scotland the great people and on your humanity humility we all feel traumatized on so much our minds are trying to process inactions and the actions of inhumane actions lack of any empathy towards a people!
Wish he was our prime minister!
He can be move to Scotland ❤every1 is welcome haste yet back lol
Very probing, pertinent questions, putting Humza under the lamp. To be fair, Humza was articulate, direct and open with his responses and clearly very sincere in all he said. No obfuscation like Starmer or Sunak who have been dodging and sliding for months. Shout out for Stephen Flynn too, a formidable presence in the house of commons. I'm pleased that he stressed the importance of the ceasefire was not only for safeguarding the Palestinians but also the hostages too. Unless the constant and indiscriminate bombing of Gaza by Israel is not stopped immediately, there soon may not be any hostages left to save.
A tru a leader who not scared about speaking the truth
Has Humza Yousaf been on any of the pro-Palestinian protests in Scotland? I haven't seen him at any of them. Why has he not been there? Seriously. Why not? Please Humza. Turn up and speak!
He's not the president of El Salvador!! Nicola Sturgeon's lacky...apologies if this offends anyone. His stance on Gaza is a bias due to his relationships, did he stand in front if the ICJ to give evidence???
If Humza Yousaf had gone on any of the pro-Palestinian protests, Westminster would be calling him anti-semitic and the right-wing Media (which is all of them) would go to town on him, discrediting and calling him biased. The British government are calling the protesters 'mobs' and some of them 'terrorists' so it would be the end of Hamza's political career.

Great interview
Just like ordinary people all over the world, I and the people and relatives in my circle are totally behind saving Palestine and the Palestinians, and horrified and ashamed of the Israelis. I'm a non practicing Jew. I'm progressive politically. I'm watching independent journalists so I see what is available on the devastation, starvation, the deliberate murder and suffering imposed by the people of Israel.. It's heinous and will increase the antisemitism. Those criminals and aid and abetters must be bought to justice. Precisely what you said The West has lost it's moral compass, IF it ever had one.
I don't think it ever did sadly 😢
Israels actions do increase anti-jewish hate. The phrase 'anti-semitism' however only gives aid to Israels actions by implying that only jews are semitic and therefore the original inhabitants of the land. It denies Palestinians their semitic identity and rights to their homeland.
FM Yousaf stands head and shoulders above so many other politicians. He’s been consistently calling for peace and a ceasefire in the Gaza conflict. Other world leaders could learn a lot from him. History will show that he was on the right side.
While his own family members are complicit in the biggest blight on Scottish life ever seen by importing huge amounts of heroin and sell to their children👏👏🤔
As an ordinary citizen of Scotland, I completely agree with Humza, Palestinians have been let down for many decades by successive governments across the world! I am proud of Scotland and of the SNP who have called for an immediate ceasefire from the beginning.
It is incomprehensible why the Tories and Labour think it's OK to let one more innocent Palestinian die! What does that say about the leadership of the UK?
The Palestinian people deserve more, much more from a world who has looked the other way for far too long.
I can't speak for other Scots but this one is holding out hope that an immediate & permanent ceasefire happens as quickly as possible!
Much love from Scotland.
I can relate to jumping when it’s fireworks time having experienced war myself. It has taken me years to get used to it.
He is a good and honest man and a credit to Scotland....gon yer sel ma son.
The mans a complete and utter failure. He's been terrible in every position he's held. He's an absolute embarrassment to Scottish people!
Oor humza! A very decent man and politician. Very proud to call him our first minister 🏴my thoughts for you, Nadia and your family. And thank you for leading the fight for Palestine 🇵🇸 from the start
💜 yes!
One thing for sure is that since this nightmare started, Humza Yousaf has shown that he is a good leader
He's not perferct but he is genuine and decent. Proud he's the leader of Scotland. Miles above any of them in Westminster.
Nobody’s perfect 😊
What about the massacre in Israel?
It doesn't justify killing more than 30.000 people. Besides, they're fighting an oppressor who won't leave them alone to go about their lives, but constantly harreses them, steal their farms, produce and houses.
Sorry Hamza but the international community can do little it’s down to the USA and whether Washington can resist AIPAC
Great interview and much respect to Scotlands first minister.
Scotland deserves to have another independence referendum and finally break the yoke of Westminster.
The handling of Gaza and the historical inadequacies of Westminster to not just abide by international law and enforce just jurisprudence, to say nothing of committing to their responsibilities of the treaties signed, but to consistently put Scotland second and more recently the entire nonesense with the speaker, remind Scotland that they will never have an equitable seat at the table when it comes to the decisions that historically matter.
The UK’s political party structures are transforming into a reflection of the two party system of the United States at a frightening rate and all in the face of the atrocities of Israel.
That brought tears to my eyes. Love my fm
Mine too!
The trouble is with this unequal union, if Scotland was an independent country our voice would be heard, there would be no doubt in anyone's mind as to where Scotland stands!
As it is it's the party in power at Westmonster who's view is taken as gospel across the world!
Very few in Scotland voted for either of the main two parties that always rule the UK, neither care about Scotland, it is time for change!
All SNP supporters talk unadulterated 💩
All decent people have to unite, because the fascists in various countries are in control 🙄
What does Yousef think about October 7 massacres, Hamas, and kidnapped hostages still being held? Has he demanded Hamas surrender and hostages be returned. When he calls for a ceise fire does he want it to be one sided?
Well unless somebody asks him you will never know
Exactly, a true humanitarian advocates for ALL humans, not based on any other factors of devision.
And people living in the Gazs strip have most definitely been let down by government and so called humanitarian organisations.
Their 'government' have dragged all these poor innocent people into a fight, while the aid goes to their billionaire 'leaders' sitting comfortably in Qatar or hiding in a tunnel network larger than the London Underground. The leaders themselves have said publicly that they are not responsible for their peoples safety. Why? They explain it is because the people are 'refugees', as designated by UNRWA. Only this agency count refugees as a status passed down the generations. Why? No other group have ever been regarded as refugees in this way. Why do this? Well, this status enables the continuation of money as aid going to these billionaire 'leaders'. End the wars, make peace = no more endless aid to the billionaire leaders Sat in Qatar.
The people in Gaza are being used, and they know it. And some incredible and brave people in Gaza are speaking out at great risk their lives and the lives of their family. They are not free to speak under the totalitarian Hamas regime.
People in Gaza deserve better. All people deserve better than to be used in this horrific way and placed in the middle of a situation to perpetuate the money making scam that is driven by the few corrupt puppet masters.
Rafa is a city split by a country border. 14 miles of border between Gaza and Egypt yet no help for them from their Brothers and Sisters in Egypt. People of Gaza deserve freedom not dictatorships. They deserve safety, not to be used as pawns and brainwashed with hateful rhetoric to keep them in this awful position. It is truly shocking but sadly unsurprising.
What about the settlers killing of unarmed ppl and the 26 massacre by the Israelis before the 7th do they not count.
What do you mean “the world doesn’t care”???? The world cares enormously, people across the world are furious and cry everyday. The problem is that the tiny minority of people that are in leadership and governance positions don’t care.
He's relating to the western governments.
It's terrifying thinking about a Starmer "government"
Thank God we have a leader who cares. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Shame he doesn't show the same care to the county he's supposed to be running.

And no mention of the Israeli hostages. Why not call for Hamas to put their arms down and release the hostages?! This guy should be sent there to speak for Hamas. I feel sorry for the poor Scots. A once proud people.
@@cynthiamartini8982have you seen the level of bombing Isreal has been doing for four months? Are you aware that twelve thousand children have now been murdered by carpet bombing? There is no safe areas in that land 7 x 25 miles. So it’s highly likely Isreal has liked their own people.
The people of scotland did not vote this guy in!!! His party voted him in after his boss quit over millions of missing money!!! This guy and SNP are out!
He shows his colours by backing Palestine and his anti Jewish stance because let’s face it, he’s not representing British people but his own people, Ruslims, end off.
Seems you've missed the point, he's representing 'humanity'. It's not anti Jewish, it's anti 'wrong', anti 'inhumane'. It's incidental that Israel happens to be Jewish, they could have been any race or creed that were perpetrating a genocide, they would still be wrong and would still need to be called out for their disproportionate, illegal bombing of Gaza and taking of innocent lives. He's backing a ceasefire which would safeguard the Israeli hostages too which is not the act of someone representing as you say just "his own people, Ruslims, end off" (sic).
@@habsom1406 genocide the way I see it was on Oct 7th. I don’t know if you are aware of this but let it be known that Allah gave Israel to the Jews ( it’s in the Quran ) educate yourself you could learn alot from their holy book.
Hamas was voted in by Palestinians and you can youtube and see how delighted they were!
Hamas was given millions to rebuild and make Gaza and the West Bank into a mini Saudi Arabia but instead they used it to build tunnels whilst their people starved. They hid weapons in Schools hospitals, nursery’s, playgrounds, civilians homes and mosques that are supposed to be sacred but clearly are not!
If Palestinians were so good how comes not a single surrounding country who are all Ruslim states, won’t take a single one of them, ask yourself why, better still research why.
Why do you not call out Hamas for what it did on Oct 7th or do you think that Hamas’s actions to ‘R’ and mutilate women burn families alive kidnap women children and get this, BABIES!
if you think they had the right to do this, then you are as bad as them.
I don’t agree with any IDF soldier killing anyone who is innocent but with Hamas that’s a different story.
It is Hamas who dress up as civilians so there are going to be times when someone innocent loses their life! War is cruel but IDF must finish the job. Hamas are the new ISIS.
HAMAS could end the war if they released the hostages. but they want Israel to release terr or ists and that has to be a no no!
Why doesn’t George call for the release of hostages, because let’s be honest, he hat es the Jews just like the majority of Ruslims!
A Statesman. Great interview.
He’s a wonder & reflection of the wonderful people of Scotland ❤😂May God bless you all🙏🏽🙌👏👍🥰❤️
So its the usual arrogance of believing that because a country calls out another one it will make a difference. What a bell end.
How about dealing with the terrible poverty in Scotland, addiction, crime and children not having enough food to eat .
❤Beautiful man, beautiful soul. Should still be our FM and I cry with him for Gaza.
That’s the first time I’ve listened to him speak.
He sounds too caring and compassionate to be a politician. Maybe a sign of how things could be
🙏🇵🇸🙏
"Too" caring & compassionate" - now wouldn't it be a better & safer world if all world leaders were "too" caring & compassionate"
I take my hat off to you Humza . God Bless you man and pray for all of your relatives in Raffa ,Gaza keep safe . I pray for all Palestinians to keep safe .
What a great leader
He's not a leader, he's an unelected moronic fool

What if Labour win but Kier Starmer is voted out of his constituency office and party leadership position?
Seems likely, no?
The problem and people have been neglecting so long by the West!😢
Freedom for Palestine 🇵🇸
And Scotland also
Always hearing Britain should stay out of other countries….when it suits.
