Jon Stewart on Gaza: “I feel like I’m watching something that is so self-evidently inhumane and horrific and to be told that I have to shut up because I risk the Jewish state by speaking out?… they’re putting the likelihood of a surviving Jewish state much more at risk with this type of action”

I agree 100%. I thought I’d seen evil in my but I now realise I’m seeing it now on a scale that cannot be believed.
Common W for Jon. Can’t wait for the zionists to start calling him a self hating jew……
Well said. What retribution will be applied when the world turns? And the fact that it is turning against them is undeniable.
He’s such a liberal Zionist.
Why aren’t we advocating for the dissolution of a colonial apartheid state? Why is this in anyway in the same conversation as 400,000+ Palestinians killed, and whoever is left being starved to death.
The “Jewish state” BY LAW gives people different rights BASED ON THEIR ETHNICITY ([Nation-State Law](https://www.adalah.org/en/content/view/9569)).
Down with apartheid. Jon Stewart needs to deprogram some more. Israel should not exist – every person should have equal rights (no matter their ethnicity), Palestinians should be able to return to their homes and land FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA.
I already really respected him, but even more now. Thank you for speaking up and using your platform to raise awareness. And speak truth.
saw this morning that Netanyahu said that Palestinians are lying about starving and I almost put my fist through a wall. i’ve been saying “I feel like a crazy person” for years now like it’s absolutely insane what we’re being told what’s happening vs what’s explicitly being live-streamed into my eyeballs and I’m being told this by so called “reputable” media platforms
Love Jon Stewart
Should have spoken up sooner
This is something I say when arguing with my zionist relatives (sadly near constant these days), that I wouldn’t feel safer in a country where all the houses have bomb shelters, and they genuinely think i’m insane. I feel safe in America and wouldn’t live anywhere else.
Wow that’s actually an excellent point he’s making
exactly
Anti-Zionist Jew here – a “Jewish state” can only mean either an apartheid ethnostate and/or a theocratic state, neither is good.
YES, FACTS
If Israel’s goal is truly as stated (which we know it fucking isn’t, they want everyone in Gaza dead) then what they are doing is utterly counterproductive
I have argued this point for months and months
I’ve been watching the Daily Show since I was quite literally 12 years old and I remember Jon Stewart talking about Gaza in like 2004 and having a piece on the 2008 Gaza flotilla raids. He was probably less critical of Israel and Zionism than he currently is but wow, it was astounding to see any kind of sympathetic journalism on that issue from a mainstream American comedian in that era
100%. It astonishes me so many people STILL don’t understand this.
Jon Stewart is 100% correct. Proud of him for speaking up. ❤️
Guys you’re being too evil, You’re gonna blow this sweet real estate thing of ours
