Wow! You definitely deserve an award for turning that room around. Never have I seen a comic not only handle heckler(s) but also turn them around in such an intelligent way. You are a 🐐, Sammy! Can't wait to watch your tour!
I'm employed by a Palestinian boss, he's the kindest, generous and most forgiving boss I've ever worked for. I had a mental break down one day, walked off the job, ignored his phone calls for a week and he gave me a second chance.
WHAT a lush response to an insanely challenging moment "this is not the time to leave - this is the time to stay" as he stands at the front of the stage, confronting what is overwhelmingly terrifying for most people in his situation. THAT is what I've learned a proud Palestinian looks like.
“…time to stay AND see what happens next” - not only does he stand his ground and calls out the snowflakes leaving the show, but he makes it funny AF. A touch of true genius right there. Bravo that man 👏👏💪
Seriously! I'm watching this like... a mob is technically getting riled up right in front of him and he just faces the mob. And then manages to get them all on his side without backpedaling, just continuing forward.
I learned so much from this… his family is getting bombarded and some clown finds it boring! You’re incredible, your patience is incredible…pray for Palestine
Imagine going to a Palestinian's stand up show and telling him he isn't allowed to speak about being Palestinian. The AUDACITY of those ignorant people.
bc they have some kind of benefit like our tax dollars, free settlement, jewish privilege,owning politicians and war profiteering . I have seen israeli teenagers driving 100 k cars with american tax dollars. free Palestine
This man is so brave😂 It says a lot about many people if when Palestinians are brought up, they respond with "what about Hamas"...the brainwashing is disturbing
We've turned it into a meme on our discord server. If someone asks a question, we might say, "Before I answer, I have to know, do you condemn Hamas?" People are dying and its a giant circus.
If there was some kind of Oscar for stand-up comedy, this deserved it. Smartest person in the room but managed to make even those acting like childish bigots feel human and hence see him and each other as one.
Hamas updated their official stance and rhetoric to accept 1967 borders years back and even added it to their charter in 2017. As you alluded it's Likhud and Israelis in general that are the ones who are explicitly against both a Palestinian state and even a one state solution without a Jewish majority. Likhud even expressly states intent to annex all of Palestine in their charter.
Sammy is a legend. It takes a strong man to stand in front of a crowd and keep performing. Art is how an artist exresses themselves and the was doing just that.
Not gonna lie I thought the mood was shattered beyond repair, but you managed to bring this crowd back from the dead lol mad props dog that was like watching a crowd engineering video
That was rough, but handled beautifully, Sammy! Also props to the people in the crowd that spoke up with facts and positive engagement. Free Palestine! 🇵🇸♥
Just because those gentlemen feel a pang of guilt and recognize genocide and unfairness, making them squirm, doesn’t mean the question is boring. It’s boring to them because acknowledging reality might disrupt their blissful ignorance. They dismiss the topic to keep living their dreary lives, lying to themselves, like a hamster convinced its wheel is a grand adventure. It's comedy. Those gentlemen should live a little. You did a great job handling drunks lol 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
To be fair, it was becoming a political conversation more than anything else at one point. To some people, that is boring. To most it's not funny either. So I get it. I still wouldn't start heckling tho, I mean it's his show, If I find it boring I'll live with it and just no go see him again in the future.
"Boring" was an euphemism for uncomfortable. That guy was uncomfortable. They all are, because they know the truth and because they have to keep up the pretence.
It's disgusting that the crowd chanted that. It's like people don't want intelligent comedy that doesn't involve an organ. I tell jokes at open mic nights about being a patrilineal Jew and there are so many uncomfortable silences.
@@HaleyMary That's pretty funny. Fwiw I laughed. 😸 Too many people need to get over themselves. We need to be able to deal with tough topics in comedy, and the arts for that matter. It's a way to deal with, process, and get insight into situations, hopefully building empathy and releasing tension. I keep thinking of Mel Brooks, one of my all time favorites. I'm guessing that the PC police and the maga crew would be in a competition if he was doing some of his stuff today. Or, I think about In Living Color.

This is absolutely nonsense! When Native Americans accepted the bitter reality of losing their lands, they now live in America as citizens with full rights alongside whites!

This was the most incredible crowd management and comeback I've ever seen. You did such an amazing job not only keeping peace but managing to reestablish the feelings of camaraderie and humor after it was torn to shambles.

Ugh the comments from those pro-Israels were so 🤦♀️ I can’t imagine the stress to calm that situation down, you definitely did well. I can’t imagine having to keep my cool against those people. They say it’s biased but they just can’t accept the truth.
You can define anything you want. Anyone can, whether they are a colonizer or not. But the definition used in the show is not, AFAIK, an accepted one. Let me ask, why do Palestinians call themselves by a name used by oppressive colonizers? Why don't they call themselves Canaanites?
@@upquark31415 Yeah, because a lot of people are using words sort of randomly. IOW lying. It would be better if they used words with their actual meaning.
@@upquark31415 It is because people abusing the language are doing it because they want to accuse other people of what they themselves, or those they support, are actually doing in the hope that when they do it the words will have been so debased that saying what they are doing will be ignored. It begins by saying resistance is legal and anything at all is resistance and therefore ok.
I’m binge watching all of Sammy’s comedy now. What a masterful comedian. I hope he gets more and more famous. Truth-telling is a dangerous occupation particularly for a Lebanese Palestinian in these times. Bold, courageous, intelligent, profoundly witty…what a treasure.
Sammy, much respect for the way you handled the crowd. I bet it is extremely difficult to do what you are doing, specially during these insane times while the world is watching Palestinians get murdered in cold blood. I just want you to know we appreciate you, and you are on the right side of history. Keep going brother.... Much love from a Palestinian American.
This was wild. Sending lots of moral support. I hope you have a big team of loved ones to lift you back up after shows like this, and a solid security team as well. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@brian101st I’m trying to get off so I can drive to Houston to see him :) he became my favorite comedian because of the math jokes & the more videos I watched, the more I liked him lol
Damn! That's some cold blood you got. Keeping your cool and turning the show back around after such hostility from the crowd, in such a small place? Not for the meek. 👏👏👏
It baffles me that some people in the audience truly believe their opinion matters so much that they feel the need to just throw their opinions out there in the room - truly believing that their viewpoints are correct. That in my opinion defines the term radicalism. Sammy did an excellent job diverging from confrontation while still trying to get his point across.
That was a very good analysis Always as a youngester was afraid of being a radical myself as a devouted Muslim , then the more i grewup n reading into Islam the more i realised that knowing the truth (from my point of view) n adhering to it doesn't make the Other in the wrong but infact the more devouted Muslims were in their history the more they embraced others opinions n civilisations without compromising their own n that was really genius ; And I'm not speaking about "takkia" or whatever bs some haters claim , that was in the peak of the Islamic civilisations. We don't think that we are superior to nonmuslims ; we feel blessed to be Muslims n always afraid for this to be taken away, because it can, we don't think that only we can enter the Gardens n we don't think that all other people should be Muslims or forced to be because God told us that he did create us as diverses n we should get to know n learn about each others. Sorry as usual i got carried away explaining why i admired UR analysis 😅 Peace
Funny, it's true, for comments on UA-cam as well 😂 were all guilty! Where's Oprah handing out "Radical" banners to everyone when you need her? He did handle it with grace though didn't he...
@@akmal94ibrahim Or maybe he figured he went there for some laughs and to relax. if he wanted to get serious about the conflict he could come to youtube.
Pff, dude that's actually crazy how well you handled that..! And I'm glad you didn't try to just "be funnier" - on the angry people's terms - right away, but actually talked to them about it; mirroring what was happening in the room, thus giving it the importance it really had. All while being quick in commentary, though, not making it too heavy. Many comedians would have reacted differently. And non-stage people would ofcourse have reacted very differently, like you didn't kick anyone's teeth in either. I feel that was very nice of you.
Ugh. Clearly the heckler was Israeli and the bald guy in front is a pro Israel shill. I am Jewish and I think Sammy is the funniest and bravest stand up since Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor. I will be at his Boston show in April (the early show) and I will be cheering for Sammy. Sammy is a national treasure!
You handled that with pure grace and class like only you can, Sammy. If you're ever able to make it out to Cape Town, South Africa for a show, I know you'll get a big crowd which I'll be in.
I second this!!!!! Our venues are limited but you'll be killing those crowds, I mean, sets 😉 Not sure how other people manage and deal with trauma and injustice, but the SA way is definitely to laugh as much as possible and really push the edge of the dark comedy. You're a modern day jester and a wonderful mirror to hold up to society. Not sure how the hell you manage to educate, while touching subjects people are terrified to broach, and do it in such a smooth entertaining and hilarious way, while still keeping it accessible. Also love the puns and maths jokes. You're an absolute legend. Making more of an impact than you realize... Well anecdotally from perspective 😂❤ free Palestine
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Brave, ballsy and bravo for standing your ground in an undeniably honest and intelligent way. Lesser comics would have squirmed and folded so much earlier. Hats off to you Sammy 🙌🏽
We need to find out what the hecklers do for a living so we can go heckle them on their jobs! You handled them beautifully. So looking forward to seeing you next month!
I just watched a master at work! Sammy that was award-winning genius right there! You kept it together brilliantly and made the hecklers look like tantrum-throwing brats without actually saying anything offensive. Absolute mastery man, you need to be in politics.
I love the part where Sammy is actually try to calm the crowds down but people still punching in with their words which is actually in support of Sammy's statement. And I can feel like he want to say "thank you but can you please shut up so I can handle this myself" 😂
Huh, I was a bit worried at first but Sammy managed the situation very well. It's so great that he didn't get angry but kept teaching and joking to help them relax and understand. I had lots of laughs too. First class! Thank you!
@@PerpetualPrograstinatorguy got nothing better to do.... He could just go watch IDF Tiktok war crimes and stay away from comedy bars! More power to Sammy O I saw him in HTX.
It's obvious the Zionists in the crowd were there because this comedian has been raising awareness of the Palestinian struggle using humor and they find this very threatening.
When will all this ignorance, misunderstanding and hatred end? In my worst nightmares it will never end, but I hope I'm wrong. I hope love and justice will eventually prevail. Remember itt is within our possibilities.
Sammy you're so brave among all these people. Keep standing up for Palestine and keep spreading awareness. Looking at the audience's reaction towards the end, it looked like you already changed their mind. If not , they are definitely going to think about it after going home.
2 things I want to say about this video: 1. Kudos for publishing a video of a gig who dosen't go well. I don't know any other comedian who would do such a thing. 2. Good job in handling a rough crowd. Again, don't know many comedians who could pull off such a thing. Writing this as a proud (yet friendly) Israeli (sorry for yelling).
That was actual magic! Mastery of comedy, crowd work, group management and deescalation while still keeping your artistic and activist integrity. Even Chat GPT would just say - Enough is enough bro! Let my people goooooo!! Amazing!
I LOVE you SO much. THANK YOU for modeling peacemaking!! , negotiating, being flexiible, caring about everyone... please keep at it. You are already a peacemaker, your next job may be a diplomat or negotiator. Well, okay, you are already those...
😅😂 Good save Sammy! It’s good to see a talented professional at work… positively a MASTERCLASS in dealing with hecklers. One world, one love, no borders (metaphorical or otherwise) ✌🏾❣️
I find this physically difficult to watch... and yet you stood there and was the target of these... persons... I applaud your bravery and integrity. And comedy ofc :-)
There are plenty of us in the US who support Palestinian rights, demand immediate ceasefire and agree that Israel is an apartheid state guilty of war crimes, including genocide. Bless you, Sammy! You were powerful!

Let me ask, why do Palestinians call themselves by a name used by oppressive colonizers? Why don't they call themselves Canaanites?
@@quintrankid8045 Ahh...... yes...... the technicalities! That's always the right way to address any issue.
@@upquark31415 Yeah, because a lot of people are using words sort of randomly. IOW lying. It would be better if they used words with their actual meaning.
@@quintrankid8045 Yes, you are right. We should be arguing about definitions. That's what is at stake here.
@@upquark31415 It is because people abusing the language are doing it because they want to accuse other people of what they themselves, or those they support, are actually doing in the hope that when they do it the words will have been so debased that saying what they are doing will be ignored. It begins by saying resistance is legal and anything at all is resistance and therefore ok.
And alllllways remember Mandela's wise words: "nooooooo one is free till Palestine is free". Pea's out 😅
"F_CKING FEARLESS" SAMMY OBEID !!! Looking forward to seeing this!
I really love how in every comedy show of him, his crowd supports him so much
We don't need politicians to pretend to bring peace to the middle east when you have Sammy here uniting a whole room like this. Sammy for president
Whole bunch of hecklers and he handled them all. Excellent
I’m binge watching all of Sammy’s comedy now. What a masterful comedian. I hope he gets more and more famous. Truth-telling is a dangerous occupation particularly for a Lebanese Palestinian in these times. Bold, courageous, intelligent, profoundly witty…what a treasure.
Sammy, much respect for the way you handled the crowd. I bet it is extremely difficult to do what you are doing, specially during these insane times while the world is watching Palestinians get murdered in cold blood. I just want you to know we appreciate you, and you are on the right side of history. Keep going brother.... Much love from a Palestinian American.
Hats off to you for talking about Palestine, it’s your show, you dictate what your content is about.
What is comedy anyway?
@@quintrankid8045 your comment
@@quintrankid8045 It sure isn't funny.
He can go tell it to Hamas, get out of this country.
This was wild. Sending lots of moral support. I hope you have a big team of loved ones to lift you back up after shows like this, and a solid security team as well. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
that dude obviously had NO idea who you were before showing up to your show 😭
Naw they coming on purpose to throw the show. Who just goes to some random comic
@@brian101st honestly, a lot of people do go to shows that they aren’t familiar with the comedian. regardless, hecklers are weird & annoying as hell
@@syd5739 I just bought a Ticket. Just to support him. Let one of these thugs act out
@@brian101st I’m trying to get off so I can drive to Houston to see him :) he became my favorite comedian because of the math jokes & the more videos I watched, the more I liked him lol
He did mention that it was a "general audience" in the beginning so it probably wasn't people who bought tickets to his show
Damn! That's some cold blood you got. Keeping your cool and turning the show back around after such hostility from the crowd, in such a small place? Not for the meek. 👏👏👏
A very emotionally clever man. To be able to empathise and stand firm is difficult, and then making people laugh is a whole other level.
That was a tough gig! Keeping your cool and carrying on in front of racist! Only a Palestinian could do that!
How were they racist?
@@MsBhappythey’re racist because they try to dismiss a Palestinian just because he is Palestinian.
It baffles me that some people in the audience truly believe their opinion matters so much that they feel the need to just throw their opinions out there in the room - truly believing that their viewpoints are correct. That in my opinion defines the term radicalism. Sammy did an excellent job diverging from confrontation while still trying to get his point across.
Damnnn
That was a very good analysis
Always as a youngester was afraid of being a radical myself as a devouted Muslim , then the more i grewup n reading into Islam the more i realised that knowing the truth (from my point of view) n adhering to it doesn't make the Other in the wrong but infact the more devouted Muslims were in their history the more they embraced others opinions n civilisations without compromising their own n that was really genius ; And I'm not speaking about "takkia" or whatever bs some haters claim , that was in the peak of the Islamic civilisations.
We don't think that we are superior to nonmuslims ; we feel blessed to be Muslims n always afraid for this to be taken away, because it can, we don't think that only we can enter the Gardens n we don't think that all other people should be Muslims or forced to be because God told us that he did create us as diverses n we should get to know n learn about each others.
Sorry as usual i got carried away explaining why i admired UR analysis 😅
Peace
Funny, it's true, for comments on UA-cam as well 😂 were all guilty! Where's Oprah handing out "Radical" banners to everyone when you need her?
He did handle it with grace though didn't he...
17 years, he’s handled it all, and with this topic, I was floored the whole time. Great job, bro
Some people in the audience sounded like they were ready to blow a fuse if he kept talking about Palestine 😂😂😂
Yep. That guy wasn't bored about it. He was upset and triggered by the truth of it.
@@akmal94ibrahim Or maybe he figured he went there for some laughs and to relax. if he wanted to get serious about the conflict he could come to youtube.
@@quintrankid8045so he didn't knew about the comedian, he paid a random comedian without knowing about his content.
Pff, dude that's actually crazy how well you handled that..! And I'm glad you didn't try to just "be funnier" - on the angry people's terms - right away, but actually talked to them about it; mirroring what was happening in the room, thus giving it the importance it really had. All while being quick in commentary, though, not making it too heavy. Many comedians would have reacted differently. And non-stage people would ofcourse have reacted very differently, like you didn't kick anyone's teeth in either. I feel that was very nice of you.
My grandmother would say: this passionate young man has thr patience of an angel
As a Jew. This guy rocked it. I don’t believe in the state of Israel but here we are. The genocide has to stop.
I guess u really are recklessly arrogant...
@@nyguy7814he asking to stop the war, but u asking the opposite.. are u even human?
@@nyguy7814In what universe is it “recklessly arrogant” to “stop the genocide?”
We embrace brother with love and respect. Please help to keep the fight on
What a poor choice of words @@frazel22
Ugh. Clearly the heckler was Israeli and the bald guy in front is a pro Israel shill. I am Jewish and I think Sammy is the funniest and bravest stand up since Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor. I will be at his Boston show in April (the early show) and I will be cheering for Sammy. Sammy is a national treasure!
+100
ayo wait i hadn't checked tour dates yet i'm glad i saw your comment bc i assumed there wouldn't necessarily be a boston show. might be too late but
The problem is Palestine isn’t real
Because he's not afraid to say the truth and we people are done being Iied to by the media. 🥰
@@CG13F the media that tells you to vote for Biden and that white = bad? Yes we are done listening
Two peas in a hummus solution! 😂😂😂🙌🙌🙌 Everything about this video was so exciting! Not boring at all! Bravo Sammy! 👏👏👏👏👏
You handled that crowd like a pro omg!!!
it’s insane that someone would get mad at just a reference to 75 years ago the nakba.
You handled that with pure grace and class like only you can, Sammy. If you're ever able to make it out to Cape Town, South Africa for a show, I know you'll get a big crowd which I'll be in.
I second this!!!!! Our venues are limited but you'll be killing those crowds, I mean, sets 😉 Not sure how other people manage and deal with trauma and injustice, but the SA way is definitely to laugh as much as possible and really push the edge of the dark comedy. You're a modern day jester and a wonderful mirror to hold up to society. Not sure how the hell you manage to educate, while touching subjects people are terrified to broach, and do it in such a smooth entertaining and hilarious way, while still keeping it accessible. Also love the puns and maths jokes. You're an absolute legend. Making more of an impact than you realize... Well anecdotally from perspective 😂❤ free Palestine
My respect to South Africans U should rule the world brave people n u did actually in a way
Love n respect
Awe, stick uit here,... we got cookies......
and gatsbies
@@1300wipass a masala steak! *chef's kiss*
Free Palestine! Always stand up for your people, fuck the haters.
Rules to live by ^
But no! That implies an erasure of the Jewish people!

FR!!!
Imagine some humans are being opressed, ans you don't say anything. That's not okay! Especially when you have a platform.
Eh, only stand up for them if they're in the right. I'm sure you wouldn't be encouraging an Israeli standing up for his side right now.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Brave, ballsy and bravo for standing your ground in an undeniably honest and intelligent way. Lesser comics would have squirmed and folded so much earlier. Hats off to you Sammy 🙌🏽
We need to find out what the hecklers do for a living so we can go heckle them on their jobs! You handled them beautifully. So looking forward to seeing you next month!
Way to spread peace and harmony.
He was talking in a calming voice in a topic like this. Best way to talk about the truth!
I just watched a master at work! Sammy that was award-winning genius right there! You kept it together brilliantly and made the hecklers look like tantrum-throwing brats without actually saying anything offensive. Absolute mastery man, you need to be in politics.
I really admire you, Sammy! And I can’t decide weather I admire more your humor or your patience!! Please, come to Europe! 🙏🏽
See you in July!
I have never been this tense watching a standup gig; the way Sammy matrix-dodged and navigated this whole thing was SSS level. Masterfully done. 👏
Brilliant work Sammy. Damn, just bloody brilliant.
You have a very stressful job, but you are great at it. Thank you for speaking out. #freepalestine
I love the part where Sammy is actually try to calm the crowds down but people still punching in with their words which is actually in support of Sammy's statement. And I can feel like he want to say "thank you but can you please shut up so I can handle this myself" 😂
You are a master.
The fact that you pulled that off gives me hope for peace in the world.
Huh, I was a bit worried at first but Sammy managed the situation very well. It's so great that he didn't get angry but kept teaching and joking to help them relax and understand. I had lots of laughs too. First class! Thank you!
Dude you handled this like a boss. I would lose family and friends for half of what these people said. It's hard to grasp how evil people can be.
The bald guy became a VP at some conglomerate after this.
This guy can take on a hostile crowd. Especially the ones that are resistant to a little bit of education.
Dear empire apologists, book your own show and perform comedy around your own biases instead of buying tickets to ruin other people's night out.
This🙌🏼
It was intentional obviously.
@@PerpetualPrograstinatorguy got nothing better to do.... He could just go watch IDF Tiktok war crimes and stay away from comedy bars! More power to Sammy O I saw him in HTX.
@@GenieHermoso I bet he was cracking up at the Zionist sense of humor. I have never seen a people with worse comedy in my life.
It's obvious the Zionists in the crowd were there because this comedian has been raising awareness of the Palestinian struggle using humor and they find this very threatening.
Holy shit, props to you for turning a difficult situation around. You're an amazing person
You are a friggin legend. I would be high in emotion if I were you and you handled it SO WELL!!! Comedy is the remedy this world needs ❤
Dude you need to do a TED talk on how to stay confident with lifeless crowd
When will all this ignorance, misunderstanding and hatred end? In my worst nightmares it will never end, but I hope I'm wrong. I hope love and justice will eventually prevail. Remember itt is within our possibilities.
This Guy is Great!💓💓💓💓 Keep Doing YOU Sammy, I Love the way you handle the hecklers and speak the Truth....I Love your Courage! 😝👍🤩🥰 Sheila
Sammy you're so brave among all these people. Keep standing up for Palestine and keep spreading awareness. Looking at the audience's reaction towards the end, it looked like you already changed their mind. If not , they are definitely going to think about it after going home.
2 things I want to say about this video:
1. Kudos for publishing a video of a gig who dosen't go well. I don't know any other comedian who would do such a thing.
2. Good job in handling a rough crowd. Again, don't know many comedians who could pull off such a thing.
Writing this as a proud (yet friendly) Israeli (sorry for yelling).
Hopefully you're safe man... I know how hard anything that is not pro genocide has been targeted so far.
That was actual magic! Mastery of comedy, crowd work, group management and deescalation while still keeping your artistic and activist integrity. Even Chat GPT would just say - Enough is enough bro! Let my people goooooo!!
Amazing!
I LOVE you SO much. THANK YOU for modeling peacemaking!! , negotiating, being flexiible, caring about everyone... please keep at it. You are already a peacemaker, your next job may be a diplomat or negotiator. Well, okay, you are already those...
Really impressed with your crowd work with how heated it got in there. Much respect to ya.
I have never feeled so outraged, angry, in disbelieve, in awe, the respect towards you sammy. I respect how you handled this. Wauw!!❤
Wow man, if this is a bad day on the job, you’re doing great!
A master class in crowd control while still speaking your truth.
I love your material !!
Bringing truth and comedy together is what comedy is for
The way you handled the situation is exemplary. Spontaneity is a big plus for you. Wish you all the best!
Kudos on how you handled the situation. You have all my respect. It's admirable how you can entertain so intelligently on such sensitive matters.
of course I'm referring to the sex jokes😂
This is superb emotional control and maturity on Sammy's part. I am very impressed. Excellent job!
Wow. I am impressed how you handle the crowd. Thanks for what you do ❤
Sammy youre funny I love when you work the crowd. Bay Area Homeless in da haus!!
😅😂 Good save Sammy! It’s good to see a talented professional at work… positively a MASTERCLASS in dealing with hecklers.
One world, one love, no borders (metaphorical or otherwise) ✌🏾❣️
I find this physically difficult to watch... and yet you stood there and was the target of these... persons... I applaud your bravery and integrity. And comedy ofc :-)
Free Palastine 🎉
Sammy -- you are amazing. I love watching your videos. What a big heart you have and a willingness to engage with all people.
My god you did so well, Sammt Obeid given the extremely difficult male audience in the crowd. Very proud of you as an openly Palestinian!
You are so brave and truthful Sammy. Keep speaking to Americans who are in their own tribe.
There are plenty of us in the US who support Palestinian rights, demand immediate ceasefire and agree that Israel is an apartheid state guilty of war crimes, including genocide. Bless you, Sammy! You were powerful!
