Gaza isn't dealing with a famine. They're being starved out.
A famine isn't limited to natural causes. There is a famine, and the Israeli government created it.
Israel controls America through financial trickery
Hamas takes all the aid out of the citizens hands
by their own people
They've been on the brink of starvation for 6 months - supposedly. All Islamofascist propaganda.
Its not just that America doesn't have the courage to speak up against Israel's attrocities. America is actively complicit.
Germany just got sued at the Hague for aiding and abetting genocide by still providing weapons to Israel since the war in Gaza started. who accused Germany? Nicaragua! the state known for defending human rights and upholding them in their own country...
Umm…It worse than you think, your paying for it.
A country the US occupied from 1912 to 1933, where US armed and funded a terrorist group in the 1980's.
Indeed, some are doing what they can, some people are protesting the weapon manufacturer vandalizing what they can, the United States government really doesn't care what the people want
@@embreis2257 Says the guy who probably lives in the country that funded death squads in Nicaragua that are greatly responsible for the current political climate there
Jon Stewart is way bolder than he's been in 15 years. He's not just taking easy shots at Fox News anymore, he's taking shots that could actually get him in trouble and lose fans. Love it!
What you can do when you get older and closer to death and you already have enough money to retire ten times over.
He has tightly wrapped himself in sanctimony. More fake than funny nowadays
He is biased and deciving his audience. Doesn't reveal the false reports from Gaza, not reveal the staged footages from Gaza. Doesn't show the open markets, restaurants, and backeries. He repeats Hamas' lies. I don't trust him with a glass of milk.
No he isn't. He's playing it more safe then ever and he just yells alot now. There is no more funny.
fans? he wont give a toss. but his life for speaking the truth? thats on the line. just like how the late al hajj malcom x was
I have not seen any mainstream media be able to say things about Israel so directly and at the same time in a neutral way. Very effective way to present the truth to a vast audience.
I would disagree. Jon, and I guess by extension, the whole team, don't appear to be "neutral" to the tragedies in Gaza, as they evidently care deeply about it (and the hypocrisies enabling it). But they're being markedly fair and objective!
@@JC_Cali That makes sense.
@@candicesj thanks! I always try to 😅
Very soon nobody could talk about Israel or use the word Jew in the USA. Unless you want to be labeled as antisemitic. USA is failing apart faster than I thought lolz.
How does Jon Stewart come off as the only legit newsman out right now? No one else seems to have the stones to just say it.
Deja vu all over again. There was a reason everyone liked him during the Bush years, when the war fever and bloodlust was fairly bipartisan.
Because MSM wants to keep access to government elected to have them on their shows....for higher ratings= more profits.
It has been so for some time now. President Zelenskyy was like Jon in that way; it’s how he became President of Ukraine.
@@timan2039 He literally went truth to power.
that's so far from true -- you just don't watch the right people.
This is why we love Jon. He calls out the bs regardless of what side it's coming from.
That's complete bs. He only calls out what benefits the establishment narrative. That is the only reason he came back. To be their mouthpiece.
@@Tiasungwhich establishment?
@@TiasungSince when is the unwavering support for Israel not part of the establishment?
@@Dragonitedhe can’t think for himself, don’t even engage his ignorance
@@Tiasung You are tired, go back to bed.
I'm a conservative. Bravo Jon Stewart! End the wars.
I’m also a conservative. I used to be a liberal and loved Jon when I was liberal and still love him now as a conservative.
Look at the news, it has gone from the "Israel-Hamas" war, to "Star Wars"
I'm not a conservative but I'm glad you are here. There is just too nuance to humanity for everything to be boiled down to liberal and conservative. It's a ploy.
@@kmsleyang8972 I am genuinely curious- what made you start identifying as a conservative after identifying as a liberal?
@@momoe.4075 I’m taking my daughter to an appt right now but as soon as I get back I’ll respond to your question.
This is brilliant! It came up on my browser while searching for content on the US college campus protests on Gaza. I live in Greece and sadly all mainstream channels here are at best keeping quiet on the matter, or are plain pro-Israel. Few independent media, mostly internet-based, are speaking about the genocide in Gaza. And I just wanted to say, the protests have restored my faith to humanity.
You need to be following independent media for real news on Palestine.
Same here!
Media is a joke.
"Or they just wait until nighttime". 🤣🤣🤣
Or during a thunderstorm or fog.
When fox said illegal immigrants would be entering the country during a solar eclipse... Do they think it lasts hours? Conservative logic is just like any old opinion from the dark ages. At least people then had a reason to be terrified of everything.
My cheerios almost came out my nose on that secada/foxnews joke
@@8arrows yeah, atleast they would dispose of more than just 4 minutes
This segment started out well, but then Jon straw mans it to be about darkness instead of traffic congestion.
Thank you for not letting people forget about the atrocities in Gaza and holding the US and Israeli governments to account.
How about the Palestinian government? Don't forget holding them accountable.
@@mariposa9506 don't forget to learn about power structures and history :)
Gaza officials and Al Jazeera always lies and exaggerate , it’s fact
@21centdregs hahahaha. If you knew history, you would support Israel
@mariposa9506 I would say Israel is holding them to account. Palestinians voted for them, and STILL support them. It's hard for me to muster up sympathy.
Thank you Jon, one of the few voices here in America speaking about Gaza
Thank you for being our voice and calling out the hypocrisy.
Well said mam
I find it concerning that I’ve been saying all this about Afghanistan, Iraq, and Israel/Palestine since 2001 when I was 17, and yet some ‘adults’ from then still haven’t figured it out 22 years later. If you are claiming to be the ‘righteous’ party in a conflict, you have to do the right thing even if it puts you at a disadvantage.
people say that until it come back to affect them. Sometimes that disadvantage can have serious consequences for the nation (btw I think Hamas are a terrible organisation, but Israel overreacted)
@@MsJubjubbird Israel didn't overreact. They used the Hamas attacks as a pretext for the attack on the civilian population of Gaza that Likud has been wanting to carry out, which is in lock step with the program of the Herut party (that's Likud's daddy) since the day it was founded one month after the state of Israel was declared. Many Likudniks consider Sharon a traitor for his unilateral pullout from Gaza because he "gave away" part of Greater Israel (even though he did it as a tactical move to strengthen the program to absorb parts he considered more important), and they saw this as a golden opportunity to get back in while having a leg up in the PR war.
And in this case it wouldn't even put US at a disadvantage to use their weapon support as leverage to strong-arm Netanyahu to a cease-fire, open negotiations and transfer of hostages. It would show that they don't bend on their foreign policy just because of active partnerships. Although the EU hasn't done much better in promoting their two state approach either and some European states send weapons there as well. Either US or EU needs to step up at some point and show some spine or their foreign policy principles will never be respected again.
It’s painful to be self-critical, go against one’s own cultural groups who over-power us all with patriotic, Christian nationalism propaganda to guilt people in their local, social support systems using scare tactics to brainwash their life stability. This is the methodology of applied fascism being used by politicians in our donor controlled corporate government and media. This is the reason they attack the WOKE mindset, to breakdown citizens 🧠self-awareness abilities. This is a Psychological Operation strategy, well researched and used by the military, religious cults and marketing professionals on “mind manipulation” campaigns. It is easier than people realize to mass manipulate socially the human ego🧠🧠🧠🧠 using technology than people realize. This is why personal faith should be respected but Organized Religion can be Dangerous, especially when connected in any way to political power or government.
@@TomatoFork US hasn't had much international respect regarding foreign policy, for many a year. Not saying that the disrespect is entirely valid, much more is done 'behind the scenes' than is ever done at a podium.
"Real friends take the keys". Solid, important take. The segment about America's support of Israel is exactly why the free press is important and why it is essential for us to question the government.
And by "free press", you mean the propaganda Hamas produces? Lol k.
What’s the use? You can complain all you want but nothing ever changes. Soon, Jon will probably be labelled anti-semitic and silenced.
@@shaun5328 other people are definitely using this situation to promote anti-semitism, so that’s not something you should downplay
@@artlesscalamity348is netanyahu antisemitic for funding hamas and telling his rightwing friends to do so too in 2019? Or can only non-israelis be antisemitic except for those israelis who condemn gen0clde? It does make him a hamas supporter, right?
@@artlesscalamity348is netanyahu antisemitic for funding hamas and telling his rightwing friends to do so too in 2019?
"concerned" and "concerning" are the biggest political understatement of the year.
"or they can just wait until nighttime" plus Jon's whole face and body reaction had me cackling 🤣
it's crazy I can watch this almost live ,on youtube. Thanks Daily Show
I often hope Mrs Stuart and kids don't mind that I love Jon boy sooooo much. ❤
This is where a huge proportion of the people that will ever see it, see it. They gotta go where the audience is.
We should all thank Apple for being scumbags
Tf is almost live 😂
Yes!!
Jon, this is precisely why we needed you back. Speaking truth about US Govt’s double standards where most others are too afraid or timid.
...or too unheard, because their videos get 0.1% as many views.
Agreed. Just to say tho: double standards only arent on the US side. Anyone who supports Russian mass campaigns vs civilians in Ukraine and Syria but condemns the IDF in Gaza is just as hypocritical. All need to be condemned.
I’d bet you have double standards too
Yeah US’s stand on Israel has been pathetic, if it was anyone other than 5 year old orange against Biden, they would have gotten my vote.
Or too paid off. Let's not forget the power of the almighty dollar.
Wow, finally someone is actually saying it. Much respect.
Do you mean on a popular stage? Cause there are some news sources you could watch to hear this stuff.
@@shenronded yes, like mainstream media, left or right, or major networks.
@@dmw798 ok gotcha
I’ve never been a fan but this has changed my mind. Thank you for your bravery and doing what’s right even if it’s hard.
He's absolutely right...that level of hypocrisy within our foreign policy, especially in the case of Israel, with whom we have SIGNIFICANT leverage absolutely is unconscionable. We need to do better, and if we are going to insist on cosplaying Team America: World Police, we should at least be holding everyone accountable to the same standards, ourselves included.
Biden and Trump don’t believe in holding POLITICIANS ACCOUNTABLE. I have heard both say it, but Trump is living it.
@@user-di6pk8ez2y Trump is showing the reality of the two tier system
@@user-ed1yd9lc8y ...The Hamas being funded in part by Israel's gov't?
Because the presidential election will likely be decided by a razor-thin margin. Biden needs every vote and YOU KNOW the Republicans are licking their chops at the notion of Biden coming out with a definitively anti-Isreal stance.
@@user-ed1yd9lc8y no occupations no resistance as simple as that. Israel need to give back the land they stole from Lebanon and Syria and secure their borders as per the UN resolution. once they do that any action is justifiable but you can't be an occupier and talk about I am defending myself
No one says there won't be an eclipse. It's the one time absolutely everyone believes scientists.
I lay in wait for the flat earth folks to make themselves known
Flat earthers disagree.
Because it is something that people cant actually cover up. Hahah. I guess people only believe on conspiracies if theres a probability of it being true. With an eclipse on the other hand, you cant exactly... dispute the science....
@@Puppetmaster2005Don't worry, I'm sure the next conspiracy theory will be that there wasn't an eclipse...it was a video of a fake eclipse embedded in the glasses that you bought that were made by George Soros...That is why everyone tells you not to look directly at it...BECAUSE YOU WON'T SEE IT SINCE IT DIDN'T REALLY HAPPEN!!..LIKE THE MOON LANDING!!😊

Ye Americans are ridiculous. You’re not the world. The last voice of truth and humanity is an insane statement to make
In this moment, I am euphoric.

Jon Stewart is way ahead of the intelligence curve. He can be funny, he can cutting, but he’s always brilliant. Even when he’s doing the comedy there is still an “edge” to his persona. I missed him when he was gone.
“I got sh*tty things to tell you, but we’re going to have some fun first!” (Mary Poppins had this down decades ago)
i feel like trevor noah had that exact same quality. not a sheep on either side of the politcal spectrum, but an intelligent individual
Also Stephen Colbert; that man absolutely killed it at the 2016 election results and later on when January 6th happened, as no other comedian or news host or politician could ever even emulate. I'm only saying this because of one simple reason: I don't understand why Stewart is being put on this untouchable hill like he is Christ himself when he is just another cool great commentator as Colbert, Oliver and Noah. Honestly the attitude towards Stewart feels a little cultish.
This is pretty much the standard in Europe though. It's interesting to see Americans craving for unbiased opinions and comedy.
@@IsuiGtz Pretty sure Jon gets his rockstar status because of his history and willingness to speak in front of Congress on issues about which we shouldn't be silent.

The world 🌎 will all eventually shift to this blockchain, CBDC Tokenization of everything of value which always gets abused by ELITES to control the masses.🌎 This is the underlying motivations for the continuation of ANY WAR.
The Israeli government is a cult leader and the UK and US governments are its most devout indoctrinated cult followers.
When a comedian makes more sense than actual mainstream we are so messed! Godspeed humanity...Godspeed.
Thank you Jon for speaking truth to power. The only word missing from this segment was “Aipac”. Maybe next time. But in any event, we have missed you these last few years ❤
Well Done Jon Stewart and The Daily Show for calling the US Government out on their DOUBLE STANDARDS!!!
It's not a double standard. Only Putin is pushing that line, and this show swallowed it. ruzzia trying to conquer Ukraine with no provocation is not the same as Israel trying to eliminate a terrorist group constantly attacking it and sheltered by it's neighbours. Phillip.

What Bibi and his war cabinet are doing has NOTHING to do with the hostages - Haaretz has published countless stories directly quoting Bibi and cabinet ministers saying the hostages and freeing them "isn't their priority", they just published a story that Bibi has said he's "scared of the political repercussions of the hostages being released" and has intentionally scuttled any and all deals that would release them, the hostage families have been loudly protesting Bibi, the war, and their policies which have directly killed and continually endangers them and instead of doing anything, he sent to police to violently beat, hose and arrest the families. They've published countless more stories chronicling how Bibi in his own words personally supported Hamas, curated their rise to power, and funded them to the tune of $30m a MONTH to better divide the Palestinians and so he could use them to undermine any pressure for a 2 state solution or a Palestinian state. By their OWN WORDS, this war is NOT about Oct 7 - they have repeatedly said publicly in Hebrew that their goal is ethnically cleansing Gaza of Palestinians Aka "thin out the population" "mow the lawn" etc. to claim their "rightful lands".

Former French Prime Minister Dominic de Villepin made a similar speech in 2001 against the US's war. He was made fun of and France was treated like a traitor. I'm glad to hear you (and other US citizens I am sure) finally came around.
tbf jon stewart was always sceptical about the iraq war and the “war on terror”.
Perhaps in that instance the Frenchman was made fun of for the blatant but somehow hidden colonialism in Africa. France doesn’t really have the moral high ground on these issues, though so few people know the extent of it.
The US patriots declared war on French wine and did what any red-blooded 'concerned' freedom fighter would do, stopped referring to them as French fries- hence-forth they would be "Freedom Fries" for as long as Old Glory flies over our HOMELAND or until people got tired of it.

It isn't the entire nation. The civilian majority oppose what's happening right now. It's the policy makers that lack a moral compass. Policy makers who seize and maintain power in a system that's so warped that it would take drastic action to change it into anything better; drastic action that few are prepared to take.

Don't pretend for one second that any other administration would behave any differently... or even worse...
Just the current admin? Not like the US Political system has done it for decades
Go vote for trump then. Fool.
Sharp and sadly very true! Thumbs up John you are a rare perl!!!
It's not courage. It's refusal to use their leverage to stop arms and political cover. It's open complicity and encouragement.
I am so impressed. Not left…not right…just truth. Thank you John Stewart.
Nope. Just Hamas propaganda out of a Jew's mouth
There he is ! Finally the shackles are off. Great segment about the double standards in both corporate media and Washington
We are so happy John is back.
This is why we needed Jon back. He holds both parties accountable for thier bs!!
Not sure how this is a party thing. Republicans wouldn't even have been concerned. This was calling out the US as a whole.
100%
Most of the us is part of one of the two parties. He meant everyone. No need to hate.
exactly 💯
Their….🤦🏻♂️
Jon, You are the voice of courage and humanity. You are an inspiration. Respect
Wow, I didn't see that one coming from John, this felt like at least 20 years time travel, back when people in the media (MSM) still had a spine !
Jon Stewart, You are the only one from few of them the truth teller. Kudo's to you for your heroic presentation
Thank you Jon for speaking up about the double standards
Jon actually was so upset that he wasn't trying for big laughs. He was more reserved and hammered the points of the US double standards. I love it when he gets like that.
Thank you John!❤
Providing weapons to Israel and food in Gaza. Looks like we're just prolonging the war. Meanwhile, people in the government: *small jazz hands and in small voice* "yay!"
Yep.
We can't be the "shining city on a hill" with such blatant hypocrisy when in comes to calling out war crimes.
America has never for even a single day in its history ever been that city.
This current administration is disgraceful
@@johnbblezer4298 it would be even worse under the clown circus that ran the country from 2016-2020.
@@johnbblezer4298the last certainly was
@@johnbblezer4298 trump has said Israel should "finish up " what they've started. Take a wild guess what that means.
Thank you for keeping a spotlight on Gaza.
Put the spotlight on Syria, Sudan, Afghanistan and Ukraine. It's worse there.
Thank you for this episode. It's great to hear some sanity and actually recognizing the horrors that are happening to those children.
This is the first time I ve seen Jon Stewart he is brilliant! What a way to get a message across.. Bassam Youssef is a great comparison!
Reading it from right to left. Brilliant! And the stinger about Hot Yoga! Perfect! And "friends don't let friends ..." Classic!.Thanks for every bit of this episode, Jon Stewart. Once again America has it's truth-teller back and we are grateful for everything you are doing to make those responsible BE responsible. .
Thank you, Jon Stewart. Our hearts are broken over the genocide and our country's complacency. You are the only one who gives me hope anymore. At least you are saying what needs to be said. I am so grateful to you. You are a hero. ❤ If only our government would listen.
Yeah but you can't throw the word genocide around like that. Words are important.
@@Kalabananoit is a genocide that’s a fact.
@@aysinduarte A fact? Haha okay. Look up the word genocide. You are diminishing the real meaning of the word and the actual close-to extermination of ethnic groups in history by saying this is a genocide. You must be joking.
@@Kalabanano I think you should have done that before saying that mate. Section 1091 of Title 18, United States Code, prohibits genocide whether committed in time of peace or time of war. Genocide is defined in § 1091 and includes violent attacks with the specific intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group. That is how the US defines it. In whole or in part. Please google things before telling other's to look it up.
@@Mckadow and that has what to do with this exactly? The population of Gaza grows by 2% annually. 1 million armenians died in their genocide. 800000 tutsi died in the Rwanda genocide. 6 million jews died in their genocide. 25% of cambodia died in Pol Pots genocide. These were actual deliberate attempts at extermination. Gaza is NOTHING like it. It is very shameful to throw this word around if you know about real genocide. Stop butchering words please.
Arrived at this show after hearing that brilliant Egyptian comic say how much he liked Jon Stewart. Glad I came.
That reading our principles from right to left, was clutch!!! 😮 this is why Jon is the greatest! 🐐
As another Jew standing firmly against Israel's actions, thank you Jon Stewart for being on the right side of history.
As a Palestinian American i have the utmost respect for people like you.
Jews who would bow before the Islamic caliphate and give up our indigenous land in order to appeal to bloodthirsty gentiles? You're saying you're a kapo. 😂
@@Mario-tl3gh There's no such thing as a Palestinian Americans. Palestinians are Arabs. If you're American, you're "Arab American" not "Palestinian" Palestinian is a nationality not an ethnicity. Just like there are no Saudi Arabian Americans. Once you move to America, you're just an Arab American.
@@Mario-tl3ghThere's no such thing as Palestinian Americans. Once a Palestinian Arab moves to America, he becomes an "Arab American."
Do you have any actual idea of how to eliminate the threat posed by people wbo support hamas? You know, the group that is so radical they constantly cause strife in Jordan, Egypt doesn't want them and Kuwait kicked them out because they supported Saddam's invasion.
Jon Stewart is on the best form ever. Really excellent work. One of the few calling out the complicity of the US.
HIS BEST SHOW EVER!!!
If only people in the middle east could call out the complicity of Iran. If only there were journalists over the past 18 years who could call out Hamas.
Duplicity of the US. So shamefully arrogant too, thinking we all won't notice the double standards in play.
The civilian death toll in Gaza and how these numbers are completely manipulated by Hamas and are not questioned by the mass media and Jon just falls for it. 1. About 12k of the 33k who died are Hamas fighters. 2. Another 5k are natural deaths that would have happened anyway (in a population of 2.2 mil). 3. According to Hamas figures, 70% of the deaths are women and children, thus 10k are men. If Israel killed 12k out of the 33k, almost all of whom are men - that makes all men that died in Gaza Hamas fighters, as well as 2k of the women and children. Hamas lies. 4. The actual rate of civilian to combatant in Gaza is less than 1:1, better than most modern wars between ANY western armies. 5. Another very significant number of deaths was caused by 25% of Hamas' rockets (about 3000 rockets landed in Gaza shot from Gaza) that landed in Gaza on its population that has no shelters and is not allowed in the tunnels. 6. An additional number of deaths was caused by a dysfunctioning healthcare system, abused by Hamas in contrast with international law, causing these places to become military targets rather than places of healing and serve as safe havens. 7. Hamas uses child soldiers. That's why there are 33% more 14-17-year-old boys that died in the fighting, whereas no such gap is found in the 0-9-year-old casualties. The death toll is high and real, but Hamas needs to lie and inflate the civilian casualty figures to survive by getting the international press to pressure Israel to stop. The truth matters and so do the facts. Spread the truth.
like that Netanyahu paid Hamas? That Israel has been caught in multiple lies about Hamas? Or that Israel has been breaking intl laws and accords since they agreed to them? Like continuing to butcher Palestinians and stealing their land and houses?
"Both planets" jeeeeeez
Jon: people like you, sadly not many, makes life worth living
Keep Pushing, Jon! Push harder and harder! You are our voice!
the baby is almost here Jon, push! i can see the head! push, Jon, puuush!
NO! YOU are your voice! USE IT!
Voice for what? You think Biden doesn’t already know all of this and way more? The US is doing things that you’re not aware of in the pursuit of peace.
He doesn’t even mention that Hamas repeatedly breaks ceasefire agreements and uses Palestinian civilians as human shields.
@@artlesscalamity348 Idiot
Thanks Mr. Stewart for calling out
Thank you for saying what no one else in the media or gov’t has the courage to say.
Free Press ... You are brilliant John and loved the moon skit... So true❤
Finally a prominent nightly talk show talking about this. Where is Colbert, Meyers, Kimmel on this?
@MtlRedAtheist advertisers don’t want that
LoLz you know Colbert is literally this guts friend and played the foil on this very show with him. Colbert already made his stance clear awhile back. But I'm pretty sure CBS is lying low cause their audience is conservative old people.
They're 🐔 💩
Cowards is where they're at
To be fair Seth had brought it up multiple times, which is admirable because both he & Jon are Jewish. I can’t speak for Kimmel as I don’t watch his show, but Colbert’s silence has been notable to me for sure.
