Irish comedian Tadhg Hickey has been making waves across the world with his unique brand of comedy to shine light on misleading information about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Through his stand-up routines, short and thought-provoking videos, and passionate stance on the plight of the Palestinians, Hickey is challenging Western perspectives on the conflict and "hypocrisy" with humor, managing to capture the attention of a global audience.

One of the central themes of Hickey's comedy revolves around exposing the hypocrisy in Western perspectives on the conflict he explains:

I think in this part of the world, in the West, generally in Europe and America, there's a kind of cognitive dissonance when it comes to the struggling of people who aren't white. I think there's a natural inclination to feel more empathy for Israeli victims..
