https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/c9f4dabc-608d-4b2b-9189-d49d8993673d In an interview with @el.sayyed on MEE Live, Egyptian satirist @bassem says art and comedy are just painkillers but they don’t heal the grief we are feeling over Gaza. He describes his role as a ‘dancing clown’ who is performing in a circus, which he says the Western world has turned into after failing to uphold their own values of free speech and international law. Bassem joins Paloma Faith and many other high profile comedians, artists and actors at the Voices of Solidarity event to raise awareness for Gaza’s health workers and amplify their causes on 19 July, with the support of Health Workers 4 Palestine at Troxy in London.
