Wow, so different an evolution and journey than yours. I’m reading your (very hard to find) book “Minority of One” and wondering why more Egyptians in the Arab Spring revolt didn’t put together the regressive aspects of Radical Islam/Salafism/Muslim Brotherhood and its hate for Jews and Israel and didn’t see the political manipulation behind that and think they’d been lied to and conned.
All of the comedy icons you mention (Stewart: real name Leibowitz), Seinfeld, half the cast and all of the creative team of Friends, are Jewish. He really was a Judaizer. Did he know that? Does he?
Fascinating. Thanks for making this open to all. I remember Bassem from when he was adopted by Jon Stewart - very interesting to get a more insider take.

Could he not have returned to medicine...? Not EXACTLY a tragic figure...
