Jon is brilliant. Boy do i miss him. We need him now more than ever
No we dont.
He has a show. At least he did. I dunno if it's still going. It was on Apple. I tried to watch it, but he clearly brought on a bunch of diversity hires in his writing staff, bunch of young-millennial ivy league racists, so the whole thing was just a giga-woke hard left diatribe. It felt like watching a brilliant funny man trying to carry a show single handedly while his staff just piled their personal petty grievances on his back.
He has a show, a great one btw. The problem. It's on apple tv but you can find many clips here on the official channel. They did it stopped with the Writers strike and unfortunately don't know when it will be back
@@twelvecatsinatrenchcoatI would be very surprised if Jon Stewart was just effectively a mouth piece for his writers without agreeing with what had been written.
@@RobinINSC-ob7bb He's not a mouthpiece, but if you watch the show it becomes extremely clear which segment's are his and which ones are his writers'. You can tell because his segments are extremely well thought out tear-downs of serious political issues that he talks about with concrete evidence and in the framework of finding actual pragmatic solutions. "What's the problem? Why's it happening? Whose it hurt? How do we fix it?" -- You can tell his writers' segments because they're the same exact generic brand of ill-conceived identity politics that NYU millennials worship like it's a cult: "My truth, oppressor/oppressed, objective truth is white men being biased, word police, thought crimes, white ppl bad."
Whenever awful things happen to the Palestinian people, I'm always reminded of Jon's sobering words on the Palestinian situation : "it is to no one's benefit except the Palestinian people, that this situation is resolved".
Unfortunately, it's not just the Israel govt and IDF against the Palestinians, it's almost the whole world against or outright ignoring them.
I think I follow you on twitter
It’s not the whole world. Most of the world recognizes/supports Palestine, but it’s the western powers who continue supporting this apartheid regime.
Because they are run by terrorists
That's actually very profound! Good on him!
That is a choice. Choose your side in history wisely.
People who don't think Palestinian freedom isn't linked with EVERYBODYS FREEDOM, haven't been paying attention to the world.
Militarised, IDF trained police brutality? Austerity? Huge wealth transfer? Poor neglected everywhere? Foreign Policy based on Divide and Conquer? Nobody questions the common enemy, its always your government.
Free Palestine.
We need Jon’s voice in these times ❤
This 100%
One of the saddest aspects of this is that it takes horrible terrorist attacks against innocent civilians for people to stop and think about how horrible the Palestinians are treated.
Well said
Exactly. The Palestine people have been living so inhumanely & being treated so poorly for decades, by the far right Israeli government & by Hamas aswell, on their own ground and NOW all of a sudden the whole world seems to want to Free Palestine and seems to hate Israel & all its Jewish people, including a terrifying anti semitic tsunami all over the world. Without condemning the HAMAS terrorist slaughter attacks on Israeli innocent civilians at all. WTF is wrong with so many out there? Were these same people also cheering when 9/11 happened & praised Al Quada for those terrorst attacks on the US? Of course the clever bastards of Hamas KNEW that Israel & the IDF would revenge this brutal attack on Gaza, and a lot of innocent Gaza people would be killed, in return, but Hamas doesn't give a f&ck about the Palestinian people... Its so freaking complex & almost feels like a horrible heartbreaking twilight zone for all the innocent civilians being killed right now, both in Gaza as in Israel. Its shocking how many world wide are supporting Hamas and its terrorist method, directly or through the Free Palestine way. Hamas is the enemy of ALL people. Free the Palestines from Hamas! Stop the killing of people & end Hamas now. Peace is the only solution.
And there comes a point after realizing the horrible treatment that Palestinians endured for decades when one question: Are these actually terrorist attacks or a violent act of resistance?
All historical struggles against colonialism were bloody and violent. Hamas are not as violent or blood thirsty as the IDF. So, are we actually calling these attacks terrorist attacks just because they were carried out by Arabs or Muslims?
What constitutes Terrorism? Targeting civilians? All of the NATO countries have done that at some point. The US dropped two nuclear bombs on 2 populated cities to end a war.
The definition of terrorism is an aesthetic one. It's more of a picture that pops to the brain; a Muslim Arab with a weapon shouting Allahu Akbar!
All my life I thought Israel was the victim. Growing up, all I heard on the news was Palestinians attacking Israel. The recent attack by HAMAS on Israeli civilians brought me to finally educate myself and understand the history of Israel/Palestinian conflict. And I was so wrong and I want to apologize to the Palestinian people. 75 years of oppression is wrong. It was wrong for the South African Apartheid... it MUST be wrong for the Palestinian people!
@@potatopot1215The hostages taken are Americans, Thai, French and other countries. Terrorism is trying to achieve a political goal via violent means. Terror is the objective of this massacre, whether or not, the goal is anti-colonialism or genoc1de. By its charter, the group goal is the later. The Taliban may be anti-colonist but they are still vicious human beings, so did this group in Gaza.
I watched this whole clip thinking it was from sometime after Oct 7. My mind is blown. he really spoke the truth
All of his old Israel clips from The Daily Show that are a decade old can easily be applied to the current day in 2024. It's insane how absolutely nothing has changed in Palestine in almost a century.
Right? I'd say a third of the anti-Zionist Jews that I've been on organizing calls with are over the age of 60. Now some of them have been mobilized more recently through their faith networks, but many of these ppl have been fighting for Palestine's freedom their entire lives. It's just that the US and Israel have had an _extremely_ sophisticated and effective propaganda machine of misinformation and consent manufacturing that's pulled the wool over the Western public's eyes for generations
This couldn’t be more applicable than right now. It feels like you can’t say anything critical of Israel without being put on some list
What are you smokin?
@@ExploringCabinsandMinesin the west, support is MASSIVELY in favor of Israel and think this attack was the start. People have literally been blacklisted from companies because they pointed out Israel committing atrocities on Palestinians
people need to speak up stop supporting rasicim right and hate
You are now on the list.
Say anything against Israel. Just don't be antisemitic about it
Love you Jon Stewart, One of the few beacons of humanity that are still around 🙏🙏🙏
I'm from IRAQ and TRUE everything he said about the situation in the Middle East
What a great man Jon Stewart is!
They don’t stand a chance and it’s heartbreaking to me.
I love Jon Stewart, and am grateful for this segment--particularly the part about Semitism and Zionism as not being the same thing. If the nation-state of Israel is criticized for gross overreach and human rights violations (which could be construed as Zionism), that is not the same thing as being anti-Semitic. Being for the civil/human rights of the Palestinian people in that region does not mean one is anti-Semitic. The conflation of these two things is more often than not used as a convenient political weapon that supposedly has unassailable justification. Jon untied the knot in under three-minutes because, yes, it's that obvious!
Are Palestinians not a "Semitic" people?
Telling gross lies about the only Jewish state in the world , as you do, is antisemitism. Obviously Zionism isn’t the same as antisemitism it is the opposite. Zionism is about the right of the Jews for self determination as a nation and antisemitism is denying that right, and other es. Like you and that Stewart guy
Yeah, well, Israel was the one that had to erect a wall due to terrorist attacks. The Palestinians sacrifice their most vulnerable for political points, and they indoctrinate their children to be martyrs.
The difference is that Israel’s actions are true military actions, which means there’s records of action.
It's dishonest to pretend that Netanyahu and his government represent Isreal. And it's even more dishonest to pretend that Isreal represents all Jews on the planet.
It’s that people in America care little about Arabs anywhere, don’t care about what happens to Muslims in western China (a real cultural genocide) don’t want to do anything for the millions of Syrian refugees, and don’t even object when Saudi uses US weapons to bomb and starve Yemeni people, but they’ll stop traffic and ask their city counsel’s to divest from Israel.
Jewish people see this and think that supporting the Palestinians, and accusing jews of genocide is the last acceptable way to hate Jews.
God I love this human being even though I didn't knwo him before Basem Yousefs show but that because I'm from middle east but once I knew this human being I can't help but admire his manners and humanity
Jon is just so insightful.
That's the thing that Trevor Noah and all of the other wannabes chasing Jon's shadow lack. He's is extremely adept at looking at a government, at geopolitics, at a system, and understanding really really deeply how and why things work.
You get the feeling Jon Stewart told his writers what that day's monologue was gonna be about, while all these other guys are told by their writers.
This is why Jon Stewart is the greatest cos he sees people.
This is so incredibly sad. To know that this will never end. Innocent people dying because of greed and corruption.
God bless you and your family, Jon Stewart. Insyaallah
I think I remember them yelling "insayallah" in some of the videos where Muslims drag the women and children out of their homes by their hair and gun them down. Or maybe that was the peace concert videos. Or the baby videos. Or the old ladies. It's hard to tell, there's a lot of videos of Muslims yelling things while they do horrific things to innocent people for their religion of peace.
@@twelvecatsinatrenchcoatwe do not claim extremists as muslims and i would suggest looking into the religion more so that you see the islam is actually infact preaching peace
@@citronvertsoap There's literally islamic art of Muhammad standing over a pile of the severed heads of his enemies. It's clearly not a religion of peace.
@@twelvecatsinatrenchcoatneither is christianity (the crusades) hinduism (wars with muslims) or judism. The only religion you can say is peaceful is buddism
@@user-qz3vn1xk2c And?
I agree 100%, and it just baffles me how people can blind themselves so much to the truth, that they're willing to kill over lies. I really think that it is because people do not educate themselves. It's like after they read the lord of the flies, in high school, they never picked up another book in their lives. Except of course the religious doctrines
FREE PALESTINE! - from Sweden, the only western country to acknowledge the state of Palestina
Really? Sweden does that? Respect. Thank you guys❤
Judea was renamed Palestina by the Romans when they ethnically cleansed Jews from the land. This was nearly 600 years before a single Arab stepped foot in Palestine.
Hows the multiculturalism going on there Sweden 😉
@@ozricaurora6943 And before that the land belonged to the Canaanite... Who got ethnically cleansed by the Israelite. Your point?
Completely agree. I think the UN should focus their efforts on eliminating Hamas. If that means bringing in peace keepers in the region so be it. We cannot have these Nazis storming around the region committing atrocities. There is a two state solution it has been on the table for decades now, but it is the harbouring of these terrorist organizations that prevent any real progress from being made. Why should Israel sign on to a two state solution if Hamas crosses the border and slaughters its citizens? Why should the Palestinians sign on to a two state solution if they see Israel constantly attacking their region (to fight off Hamas)?
Glad to find this, as all the holier-than-thou condemnation requests get us nowhere near any acceptable change.
He should’ve condemned Israel
Kids take sides, adults are the ones capable of seeing the bigger picture and offering solutions that weren't present at the table.....sadly in our society: adults take sides and visionaries are the ones who think out side of the box to present brilliant solutions.............. Jon has proven time and time again to have a infallible moral compass
As an Israeli I dont agree that its not in our interest that the conflict ends, and that there would be a palestenian state.
Of course i dont represent all israelis, and sure as hell my government doesnt act in a way that i agree with (in the west bank etc.).
But i think a lot of israelis would agree with me, that we just want to live in peace and put an end to this conflict
It's not in the Israeli govt (Bibi's) that the conflict ends, because how else would he blame all of the problems with his reign than the "enemy/other/Hamas/Palestinian".
It's the same with fascists everywhere - they always need an enemy to point to blame all problems.
Ending conflict means ending occupation, which is the current ethnostate israel is, which means israel would be held responsible for all its previous war crimes and making the Palestinians live insufferable conditions. Israel does not want to end the occupation, if it did, it wouldn’t have caused another Nakba, it would’ve treated Palestinians living in the West Bank/Tel Aviv fairly, it wouldn’t have kept producing propaganda that dehumanizes the Palestinians.
@@noble_experimentThere’s a big difference between “Israel should withdraw from the West Bank/end the siege on gaza” and “Israel shouldn’t exist/must be dismantled”. The latter is Antisemitic.
As an Israeli, I totally disagree that it's not in Israel's benefit for there to be a stable and demiliatarized Palestinian state, side by side and in cooperation with Israel. It's only from a right wing pro-settlement ideology that there's a problem with it. And there are groups as Jon mentioned (Hamas, Fatah etc) that ultimately do not want Israel to exist. So they need to be sidelined.
I mean, what Israel should do for now is to stop killing innocent civilians. I mean, what they are trying to achieve.
If America just stop using Vito in Un for Israel. They will reduce these military activities by a lot. I mean, majority of the world, don’t like Israel actions. And believe me I know a lot. Israel have created these circumstances. I don’t wanna right whole paragraph for this line. Maybe you get like this, if Israel treated them as equal humans, would this happen?
🥺"All around the world, voices of truth unite, whether you are Jewish, Christian, or Muslim, to demand with one voice: 'Freedom for Palestine'."
Two brilliant people. #BringJonBack ✌🏽
The Palestinian occupation separates the people of conscience from the people who cover the truth. You can tell that Jon Stewart is a man with a good heart.
Gaza is not occupied.
@@anthonymorris5084 keep telling yourself that. Maybe eventually it'll be true.
@@Vhlathanosh Not an argument. Do better. The Israelis vacated Gaza in 2005. They removed every settler by force and their entire combat forces left. Cope.
@@anthonymorris5084 "The Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights has said “the majority of international opinion” holds that Israel maintains effective control, even without armed forces present"--through technology. "Technology has made it possible for Israel to use ongoing force to exercise effective control-imposing authority and preventing local authorities from exercising control-without a military presence." "Based on the actual exercise of effective control, they, therefore, find that Israel has occupied Gaza since the broader occupation of Palestine began in 1967."
@@margarita6700 Nice use of mental gymnastics. When the Israelis left, Hamas could have created a paradise on the Mediterranean. Instead, they chose to spend all of their time, energy and resources on murdering Jews. Every Palestinian problem is self induced.
The Hamas charter, which is available online for you to read, openly, publicly and explicitly claims that their goal is the destruction of Israel, the murder of Jews and a global Islamic caliphate. When your neighbors openly claim to want to kill you, you keep them caged.
Egypt is a partner in the blockade of Gaza. Both nations are trying to prevent weapons smuggling. Until Hamas openly recognizes the state of Israel and its right to exist, you and any body you care to cite, has no argument.
I love you Jon, I knew you’d come through and not take sides, couldn’t bare losing another hero of mine. Although call me an optimist but I would like to believe that stability in the region would be a benefit to some if not all the parties involved, and that starts with the Palestinians getting their lands back.
That's not happening. They want a Jewish state which includes Palestinian land. So 2 separate states is the only possible solution -- even that may not be accepted because some Palestinians will lose their homes.
@@ziwer1 Yes, sorry that’s what I meant when I said, getting their lands back. 2 states in accordance with international law.
@@ziwer1 Israel made 2-state solution impossible by infusing 700 000 settlers onto Palestinian land.
He should’ve condemned Israel
It's bear, not bare.
Super human.. ..love your honesty ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Successful comedian are usually intelligent people and insightful too..i.e Jon, David Chapelle, Bassem Youssef to name a few....they are very well informed n can analyze the conflict well...they know a lots of thing than common people do for them to present it as a joke@truth or satire...
I don't know, Bassam really didn't sell me on anything this time except that he did remind me that his speech was always brilliant.
Bassam's first exchange with Pierce Morgan and recent 2 hour interview just didn't work for me and left me still utterly confused, while Jon Stewart summed everything neat and tidy within 4 minutes and now I get what direction we should go with.
I’m Canadian with English, Irish and Welsh roots, among others. Should I be expected to go along with whatever my government or Ireland’s or Wales’ governments do? Am I anti-Canadian for saying some government across the pond is doing the wrong thing? I have to support Boris Johnson? Absolutely not. And good answer by Jon. No matter what he said, he’d upset someone. Either he’s too soft on Israel or people question his Jewishness. He doesn’t speak for the Israeli government, nor should he, any more than I should have to speak for the UK and their governments. I don’t live there and I don’t have a say. I shouldn’t have to answer for the Canadian government either because I’m just one guy. On the one hand, I’m glad Israel has a home. On the other, what they’re doing to Palestinians is completely unacceptable. Jewish people have been through too much for that govt to tarnish them by behaving the way they are. Speaking as a guy with British generals in my lineage, trust us to screw things up in the Middle East so those guys can’t get along. Every time we go in there, we make things worse. Both Israelis and Palestinians deserve better.
Jon Stewart has nothing to do with Judaism or Israel his a regular anti-semite who spreads lies about Israel and persecute Jews. And what is it that Israel is doing to Palestinian that you find so unacceptable? do you even know anything about it?
Said it Perfectly
It’s a fair point but it’s short sighted. Even if Israel stopped existing tomorrow Palestinian people would still be treated like garbage by their own governing bodies. And that’s not because of Israeli aggression or British Colonialism. It’s also broken beyond repair when Hamas is saying they want every Jewish person in the region dead.
There’s this western knee jerk reaction to analyze every mistake Israel makes in order to sympathize with Palestine. That’s fine I guess. But I feel that we’re shifting away from all the horrific things Palestinian leadership will do to their own people, and to their enemies.
And, yet, so many believe that all Palestinians should cleanse off the earth. Punish all for the evil actions of the few? That's wrong as was when Hitler and his followers tried to do the very same thing with the Jewish community. People are failing to learn from history.
I could KISS you Jon Stewart!!! You're one of very few people who is in an influential position who is saying that there's a difference between Antizionism and Antisemitism. Just as the Palestinian people are not Hamas, the Jews are not netanyahu's right wing ideology!
Zionism predates Netanyahu. Likewise, Zionism is not Netanyahu-ism. Nothing in Zionism says that Israelis need to expand with settlements etc, that is just part of Netanyahu's personal ambitions.
Zionism is the belief that Jews deserve to have a homeland, to escape persecution. Antizionism means you believe Jews don't deserve this. It means you believe if the whole world turns on Jews again, as it does regularly (and is doing now) that we should all just die instead of being able to seek refuge and defend ourselves.
Palestinians are not Hamas, you are correct. But Palestinians all deserve a homeland, just as Jews all deserve a homeland. Zionism is the Jewish version of Free Palestine. Both have to exist together somehow.
Now he’s back on the Daily Show 😊
Well stated Jon Stewart.
Agree with Jon!
So on point, Jon Stewart.
Much respect to Jon Stewart 👏
I was actually a bit torned on how to view this incedent, but didn't realized how perfectly Jon Stewart pointed out the obvious.
Bassam talked for two hours with Pierce Morgan recently and I wasn't persuaded by his points at all.
But here was our old Jon sitting there and just pointed out the obvious seven months ago with a chuckle and now I get what stance I should be in.
Thanks Jon Stewart, you're always the clear minded one.
You were either not smart by not seeing Bassem's points, or you needed confirmation which indicates you're fueled by something other than pure reason.
@@T_K_R_G
I don't know, Bassam's presentation into the subject just didn't ring for me.
There was always this feeling where he just lacked something and the whole interview turned into a typical left and right I'm-right-and-you-are-wrong shouting match which just leads to nowhere in the end and the satires literally just made it more like it was a last ditch effort of "Now I've said it, are you happy?" just to shut Morgan up.
Jon Stewart's entire approach to the subject pointed into a more fundemental problem that's been sitting there for centuries that no one dares to even touch and before we get that problem solved, we do have to put the well being of day-to-day Palestianians into consideration and come up with ways to help them instead of just going into political left and right shouting matches.
Glad I found this. Jon’s perspective is always helpful to me. Good interview. Left me wanting more.
Jon Stewart for President 🎉 Please. Wow. How simple + thoughtful and honest and accurate. I wish everyone could really receive this.
He would really win so easily. He would. The sad thing about politics is the good people never want to be politicians. We all just have to make due with the psychotic narcissists so desperate for power and attention that they want to be politicians. I know there are exceptions but only VERY RARE ones. You know what? Jon Stewart should just like run, have a good VP pick, and then quit and be like hey! It's not Biden or Trump -- you're welcome. Byyyyeee.
No one in my family is Jewish, and yet I cant have this conversation with my own brother.
And Yet. Here's John Stewart.
Jon's a fucking genius.
“Treated like second class citizens “ is a nice way of saying “ shot in the face…even the women and children
And bombed in the exact locations they were told to evacuate to!
I approve of Jon Stewart on what he said:"anti Semitism is not like anti zionism ".😄👍
Definitely is now
Jhon Stewart is a legend
The Palestinians are treated terribly or oppressed by Hamas and other leaders in the PA. Jon does not understand that the war is NOT about Palestinians having a state. It is about jihad. And Israel having a state giving them too much power so they can no longer be dhimmi.
Not true. Wrong
Love him. Genuinely.
I’m a soldier. Like Palestine. I found my circle. I know you said I would someday. I have. 👩🏼✍️🙏✝️
Woooo baby, Jon Stewart explains it all!
2 of my fav people - spealing truth after truth.
Pretty darn smart for a comedian!
It's very easy to navigate the Israel/Palestinian conversation.
1) Tell the truth; and
2) Don't worry about offending antisemites and Hamas terror supporters.
Thank you Stewart.
Thank you!!
So difficult to talk about the complexity when everyone is or feel in the midst of trauma.
FREE PALESTINE FROM JAPAN 🇯🇵❤🇵🇸✌BDS INTERNATIONAL
The BDS is an antisemitic organization. Japan sided with the Natzis . so your comment make sense .
Japan is occupying Palestine?
Can you ship it? Or do I have to go all the way to Japan to pick up my Palestine?
Takeshi… lol it’s probably Tariq from Gaza 😂
stop supporting rasicim and hate
Thank you
Rrrreally wish Jon Stewart was hosting Daily Show instead of the Zionist on this week ... Sad days for the legacy of the show he made legend.
That’s why everyone loves you in every faith in every race every religion buddy
Jon Stewart, the multi millionaire socialist.
@@anthonymorris5084 and you're broke and sad (:
@@Cousin_Ed How is this not self evident? Listening to a multi millionaire who garnered all of their wealth through capitalism, whine about capitalism. His wealth would be seized under socialism and it would have never been created in the first place.
@@Cousin_Ed People keep conflating "socialism" as an economic system with "social programs" They are not synonymous. Capitalism generates the wealth that funds social programs. Capitalists are often critical of social programs because they are managed by governments and remain inefficient. A social program could simply be a road. Or police fire and ambulance, a library, government pensions or universal health care.
Socialism is an economic system that has proven to be an abject failure. It is incapable of generating wealth so there is nothing to redistribute. People frequently incorrectly malign capitalism in their demand for social programs.
Props to this man for the truth!
This guys a Saint
There's a narrative spreading that's really what some want to believe, but not what is actually happening.
A crash course on history of PALESTINIAN STATE:
1. Before Israel, there was a British mandate, NOT a Palestinian state!
2. Before the British Mandate, there was the Ottoman Empire, NOT a Palestinian state!
3. Before the Ottoman Empire, there was the Islamic state of the Mamluks of Egypt, NOT a Palestinian state.
4. Before the Islamic state of the Mamluks of Egypt, there was the Ayubid Arab-Kurdish Empire, NOT a Palestinian state.
5. Before the Ayubid Empire, there was the Frankish and Christian Kingdom of Jerusalem, NOT a Palestinian state.
6. Before the Kingdom of Jerusalem, there was the Umayyad and Fatimid empires, NOT a Palestinian state.
7. Before the Umayyad and Fatimid empires, there was the Byzantine empire, NOT a Palestinian state.
8. Before the Byzantine Empire, there were the Sassanids, NOT a Palestinian state.
9. Before the Sassanid Empire, there was the Byzantine Empire, NOT a Palestinian state.
10. Before the Byzantine Empire, there was the Roman Empire, NOT a Palestinian state.
11. Before the Roman Empire, there was the Hasmonean state, NOT a Palestinian state.
12. Before the Hasmonean state, there was the Seleucid, NOT a Palestinian state.
13. Before the Seleucid empire, there was the empire of Alexander the Great, NOT a Palestinian state.
14. Before the empire of Alexander the Great, there was the Persian empire, NOT a Palestinian state.
15. Before the Persian Empire, there was the Babylonian Empire, NOT a Palestinian state.
16. Before the Babylonian Empire, there were the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah, NOT a Palestinian state.
17. Before the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah, there was the Kingdom of Israel, NOT a Palestinian state.
18. Before the kingdom of Israel, there was the theocracy of the twelve tribes of Israel, NOT a Palestinian state.
19. Before the theocracy of the twelve tribes of Israel, there was an agglomeration of independent Canaanite city-kingdoms, NOT a Palestinian state.
20. Actually, in this piece of land there has been everything, EXCEPT A PALESTINIAN STATE.
The land called "Palestine" never belonged to "the Palestinians". It was never a country, and the "Palestinians" were never the citizens of it. It's a territory that has been occupied for centuries by a variety of different groups, none of which had any claim of ownership of it (except Israel, who has records of the land before century and even Islam was even made to exist).
When the British Mandate was over, this territory came to an end in a failed attempt to keep rival factions happy, the land was divided among them. More than HALF of what was formerly called Palestine was immediately annexed by Jordan. (Notice how the "poor Palestinians" aren't asking for any of that land back? Funny how that works....)
Of the portion that was left, what is now Israel was designated for the Jews, Christians, Druze, AND Muslims who still live there today. (And contrary to what the ignorant seem to think, there were Jews living there throughout. They did NOT all just arrive from anywhere else.)
The remainder of the territory, including Gaza and the Golan Heights, was to go to the Muslim population that didn't want to live with Jews. They refused to agree, insisting they should get the whole region, which was never theirs in the first place. So what happened? Gaza was seized by Egypt, and the Golan Heights were seized by Syria -- and the "Palestinians" got nothing. Whose fault was that?
Do we see the "Palestinians" fighting with Egypt, Syria, or Jordan to get THAT land back? No, of course not! Why is that? It's because most Arab groups hate the Jews even more than they hate each other, which is plenty.
And a question for you, you are welcome to look it up, what does the name "Palestine" means and what is its source? I'm not gonna feed you the answers this time though, you'll have to go and learn. By foot even, come to Israel, go to "Palestine", let's see what insights you'll have then.
And now what?
Until the Hamas attack on the 7.10, Israel provided the Gaza strip with electricity and water, out of humanitarian courtesy and not obligation or responsibility. Just as the US isn’t responsible for Mexico, or Italy responsible for France.
Israel is fighting to protect its people's lives, attacking Hamas and their war sites in the Gaza strip. All the while, Israel let the civilians know about ALL incoming attacks so they could evacuate. Any dead Palestinian at these sites was not murdered but decided to die. The only exception are the poor children who were not evacuated by their parents, which is their parents responsibility.
No one has the right to judge that, on the contrary - everyone should be a supporter if they care about human life. This is not just a fight against antisemitism, this is a fight against racism.
Hamas is after any Israeli - muslims, christians and jews alike. Be reminded - People were not just murdered by Hamas, 80% were tortured. Raped, burned and beheaded. While others do not believe it the very ones who did tell they did proudly. When people want another group of people not to exist you better believe it.

Respect to Jon
I'm not suprised but i felt the warmth as he spoke
This is what the actual scenario is
Not what the western media portrays it to be.
Mr. Stewart is a national treasure.
“You are humanitarian enough to speak on behalf Palestinians” Why would you need to phrase it like this…
Balanced, level headed public figure. What a strange thing to see nowadays
jon stewart is ond hell of a smart guy
Free Palestine it’s not about Jews it’s about humanity n Palestine is the real righteous
Then why do they sacrifice their most vulnerable citizens in the conflict? True military action doesn’t hide behind hospitals and schools. True military action doesn’t send children to stab soldiers. These are the actions of terrorists, who avoid any form of scrutiny from their own.
@@BumpyHumpyDumpy Palestine are righteous ,Sorry, but what is terrorism in your point of view? The use of weapons, torture,
destruction, beating worshipers, storming mosques, killing women and blood flowing everywhere, these all aren’t considered terr0rism because it is from Israel.. but the Palestinians using stones to defend themselves is a great and terrible terr0rism, right !!!
If the Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists had any humanity, they would cease sacrificing thousands of their local citizenry in the futile struggle to abolish the Jewish state and turn it into another oppressive Arab dictator state, and negotiate for the final boundaries between Israel and their territories with no preconditions.
The Arabs don't want freedom. They want Islam and to kill Jews, as that religion tells them to do.
As always, On point!
Yeah i searched this up to make sure jon is still my fucking hero
Jon Stewarr made a good point. However, what he said, adds to, while he missed that, it's in the benefit of human rights. Those who are oppressed elsewhere benefit by supporting Palestinians. Their governments dont benefit by helping Palestine, maybe with the exceptions of Algeria, Qatar and Turkey, who dont commit oppression to the extent that their other neighbors do. Iran cant talk, because they only use Palestinians as an excuse to oppose other evil doers, for their own evil leaders to be supported.
No everybody's cool with that" 🤣
Jon Stewart for president y’all come on
Great interview on both sides
FREE PALESTINE! From the Caribbean.
I don’t agree with Jon Stewart on a lot, but when he gets it right, he gets it right.
@@Cousin_Ed He gets it right when it comes to Palestine.
It’s not empty at all, just have self censor of my comments are deleted
OH shiiiii. Great to see this in the Blue Note. Love this spot like certain people love Judea and Sumaria.
Really wish we had Jon Stewart to speak in these times. I fear that people are conflating anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism by the minute these days
American hostages? Or were they released. I didn’t hear any mention of them - 7 months later.
He spoke the truth 😢😢😢 and ist so sad
When those kids met god and ask why we kiled
Jon is the best & balanced
Thank you Jon.
Jon Stewart saying "Boy, don't have that conversation" scares me.
This man is a treasure!
People think you're antisemitic not because as a jew you don't automatically support Israel, but because of the things you say - like completely glossing over the fact that there would have been a palestinian state in the 90s if not for 140 suicide bomber attacks on Israel, and instead saying that the condition is for nobody to hurt anybody.
In one month in 2002 there were 15 suicide bombings in Israel. In just one month.

Boycott Apartheid 🇮🇱
It is absolutely to Israel's benefit to resolve it so it won't have to deal with a population that wants it dead which generates major security, demographic, social and economic risks. Gaza has no economic, geographic, or religious value. This is why Israel offered a state to the Palestinians on 5 different occasions and after being rejected time after time, it withdrew from Gaza unilateraly. Israel left Gaza an airport and international ports and coorniated EU and US efforts to donate billions, but instead of building their country, they armed themselves to the teeth, developed no non-combatant infrastructure while digging thousands of attack tunnels to hide over a hundred thousand rockets under schools and hospitals. Maybe its the Palestinian people interest to have it resolved, but they and their elected government Hamas definetly dont act like that! And if you think that the two are not connected and Hamas doesnt enjoy full support from the local population, I suggest you watch the videos from October 7th with the thousands of Palestinians who were more than happy to join Hamas' call for Jihad when the fence fell and invaded Israel with the militants to murder, rape and decapitate babies!
Humanity. Peace. ❤
Brilliant analysis
So, this is probably the real reason that Jon lost his Apple Tv show.
Many, many Jewish people are critical of the Israeli government’s treatment of Palestinians. Please don’t paint all Jews with the same broad brush. We’re not stupid. We are fully able to recognize oppression and colonialism even when it reflects badly on the Jewish State.
God bless this man ❤️
So, if Israel hasn't occupied Gaza since 2005 how are they colonialists?
what about West Bank ....
@@hassansardar3248 Hamas didn't attack from the West Bank.
Jon you were the closest thing to real news b4 there was
Of course it's to the Israeli's benefit to have a peaceful resolution with the Palestinians. WTF is he talking about? If there is a peaceful solution everyone benefits.
In light of everything now here's why he is wrong: I like John and he makes good points *but.* Israel has every motive to achive peace, because every battle against the Arabs is a lose of lives of Jewish soldiers and civilians, and it's a fact that Israel does want peace because look at gaza, Israel gave up that land and forced people out of there homes, to let the Palestinians self govern... Israel does not wish to kill Arabs just because they enjoy it, they do whatever it takes to ensure there own security and minimal loss of lives. And claiming that the IDF shouldn't kill palastinians is not antisemitic, but assuming that it does all the time, just for the fun of it, is antisemitic. Believeing that 7 million Jews would lie, and slaughter thousands of inocent people without valid proof, especially after the Holocaust, is antisemitic.
I’m so glad he’s back on the daily show
Here from the future post 7th of October
Very insightful
He did so much for 911 first responders.
Absolutely 😢
Well put Jon
