Fans thank Jon Stewart for Gaza stance

Jon Stewart and Bill Maher are the only people in US media who dare to tell the truth.
Every little thing matters, and one man can change the world.

This war has nothing to do with Hama's firecrackers. It is all about politics .. there is an election coming, so they need to massacre as many Palestinian as they can, to appear tough .. and also Olmet wants to make up for "Israel's" humiliating defeat in Lebanon by going after the Gaza caged Palestinians with barely any weapon's to defend themselves, while the Arab world dictators-puppet regimes are sitting and watching the bloodshed.

It's not considered a with draw when GAZA has to rely on Israel for it's survival from water to humanitarian aid.

Israel says either do what I say or die and I don't care if it's your babies.

We I don't want my tax money and my countries bombs killing innocent Palestinian people!!!!

Occupation, colonization, settlements, same thing.

LOL

In some instances indeed...

or is it just psyops fatigue ;)

what total propagandist nonsense kuffar.

Wow. After a statement like that, you've shown how truly sick you are. You need help, seriously. Honestly, see a therapist.

Palestinians aren't fascists. Define fascism and you'll see. There is no dictator, there is no strictly controlled industry (not by the Palestinians, at any rate), and no oppression of opposition - they vote, and everyone has a voice. That they all seem to be nationalistic in their fervor doesn't indicate fascism, or else most of America has been chaotically fascist in the years after 9-11.

The second Israel recognizes Gaza and the West Bank as an official Palestinian state, then they can declare war and do things the right way. Disproportionate is NOT a ridiculous word, and it is wholly accurate in this situation. NINE HUNDRED TO THIRTEEN. Really think on those numbers.
If 60 rockets every single day can kill less than thirteen people, then what the fuck is Israel defending itself from?!? Where exactly is the need for self-defense when NOBODY IS DYING??!?

Hoooold on there, alicynx. When you're dealing with the other side of the argument, don't talk it down by saying the other guy is insane.

Let me say it in a calmer manner. Palestinian insurgents are making rockets out of hardware store parts and gorilla glue. Most of these rockets don't even hit anyone, if they fire at all. Now, I'm aware that these people want to kill people, and Israel is indeed taking it as a threat to their security. But a military response on this scale is totally unnecessary. If you want international support on an issue, it helps to keep cool about this kind of thing. The point is: this conflict has caused way too much collateral damage to justify, and it only serves to hurt Israel's reputation with just about everyone.

Highr0ller,

I wonder if this is one of those sock puppets?

Who is Jon Stewart? Probably the most beloved TV host in the under-30's American audience. Also, Qassam rockets? Those little firecrackers? Don't make me laugh. Stewart's speaking truth to a large and active youth audience and you're just scared because you can't even trust a New York Jew and mainstream media figure to push the Zionist lies any more.

He is one of the only media figures in America who tells it how its is, and isn't afraid to piss people of with the truth. You do not know, why would you comment.

So now it's your turn to say something intelligent.... Kuffar

He's a fair and unbiased journalist.

you are absolutely ridiculous kuffar, you have not made a single substantive point, all you've done is ridiculed other people. it would seem you are the one who is angered by a different point of view.

Pull your head out of your poisonously partisan ass.
Gaza is under illegal occupation. they have no food, no water, no electricity, no rights, NO FUTURE. what people should have to lay down and live that way, would you? Not Jews, not Palestinians. BOYCOTT ZIONISM. FREE PALASTINE.

make one point, just one point, don't ridicule me you scared little man, respond to me.

I'd like to see what non-Americans put up with on the airwaves. Based on your statements, which contain no shred of intelligent debate or thought, I can only assume there isnt much playing. You want to make a point? Then disagree with what Jon said or tell us the "the truth" about what's happening in Gaza. Dont make personal attacks on people because then no one will take you seriously. I'll be more than happy to discuss the importance of Jon Stewart with you...and you are more than welcome to disagree. And if you know something about Israel, Gaza and Palestine that I don't, then please do share.

John Stewart is an excellent satirist, and I give him all the credit in the world for that. But people characterizing him as an important news source are missing the mark in a really profound way.

Regardless, I appreciate having the argument against the gaza conflict articulated in a tone other than "DEAD PALESTINIAN CHILDREN SLAUGHTERED BY THE MILLIONS". He's just ridiculing the media's one sided response to the issue.

As for kuffar, he's a youtube debater. Don't feed the trolls, people.

>>> Well I'm not afraid to piss people off with the truth......and you guys sure get pissed off easily. The truth? that's the last thing on your mind. You are shut down and bigoted. You never hear the truth because you don't let it in. You only accept those who tell you what you already believe. if you're under 30 and already like this, then physical death will only be a formality for you.

Kuffar, you haven't said anything yet.... lol.

All you've done is throw childish insults.

and he won't either, the Israeli propaganda sock puppets aren't qualified for legitimate debate.

HYDROKAT AND KUFFAR ARE SOCK PUPPETS FOR THE ISRAELI PROPAGANDA MACHINE!

Oh, Ow! Now I'm gonna get a complex.

High Grade Jewish Paranoia about the Truth, Kuffar....take some humanitarian lessons. Israel has committed some heinous war crimes buddy.

Uh, except we aren't occupying Mexico, or shutting off their water or electricity.

His "fatherland"? He's an American. Israel is the home of racism and apartheid; real Jews recognise the hate inherent in Israel's design and deny it.

Bottom line is, Hamas was obeying the ceasefire until the Zionists crossed the border, and even before then Israel defied the terms of the agreement by closing the supply lines.

And speaking of how emotions get the best of you, obviously it's difficult not to get riled up when 800 people have been murdered in 3 weeks, but even before then the world "holocaust" was used to describe the planned attacks on Palestine by an Israeli minister. What's more, he meant it as a threat.

It's a fucking holocaust, the facts are undeniable. Time to face the truth, you ARE the Nazi of the 21st century.

Thank you for the great analogy on the creation of the state of Israel, it was well said! I'm not sure how far I travel with you on the Nazi analogy, since I don't live there and haven't experienced travel over the borders, but I love the way you explained the aftermath of WWII. Kudos!

You are very ignorant of Israel's origins. First of all, israel BOUGHT the vast majority of its land from Arab farmers. Second of all, Jews have lived in Israel continuously since biblical times. Third, the only real claim that Palis have to Israel is that they lived there before its creation, but voluntarily fleed the country so that the Arab countries could destroy the Jews. Problem: Israel won the war of independence and did not let those Arabs who abandoned their property to return.

Actually, Israel acted more morally than the European settlers who had absolutely no right to the US, but who slaughtered Indians to get the land anyway. So its official, your protest of the way Israel gained its land means that you must move out of the US in protest of the way Indians were slaughtered to gain access to the land you live on. You've got packing to do.

Hamas is a militant group. But most Palestinians are just trying to live and work and raise families. Same with Israelis.

No doubt that Israel's reaction to the rocket attacks from Hamas seem a little one-sided. All you have to do is look at the death tolls on each side. Gotta suck to be an innocent civilian minding your own business there in Gaza.

If you want to hear an intelligent response, look up the interview on democracynow with Dennis Kucinich and his reason for voting against the invasion of Gaza.

He also forgot to mention that his house was actually the man in the hallway's house before you kicked down the door, killed his family and locked him in the hallway.

"I guess it depends if I forced that guy to live in my hallway..."

That sentence just simplifies what you say he left out.

Nobody forced the Gazans to live in Gaza, that is simply where they live. They never lived inside Israel. And the unfortunate reason that Israel has to have checkpoints for them is because they fuck up every opportunity to be civilized. They keep firing rockets at Israel and causing mischief every opportunity they get.

Its so easy to be so politically correct from the safe harbor of your house in America...but if Mexico regularly fired rockets at your city, you'd scream at Bush to nuke Mexico.

That was a fabulous video. I didn't know with the arm exportation act that we gave isreali military aid of 3 BILLION! That is OUR US Tax Dollars being used to break US and INTERNATIONAL LAW. This is disgusting.

from the REAL NEWS.

Sorry, couldn't resist :)

so you hate jews so much that you find a way to hate them even when they take a stance that you like. You are truly trash.

I don't see how Your statement could be so oddly twisted into what muted just said. The fact is, Your a shill!. . They, both Jon Stewart and Bill Maher, are humorist political commentators. It's called "Comedy Central". I did not find the comment funny, personally. I don't know Bill Maher.Some People think He's funny. They are entitled to their opinions. They make a lot of money. They don't put anything on the line. No big deal! No hate. You think what Stewart said was insightful. I thought it was depreciating and borderline insensitive. He is not living under what the Palestinians are having to endure under the Terrorist Control of Hamas. It is no joke! Go spread your hate elsewhere Dude. Take Your trash with You..

Connie, you really think that further governmental control of the media and stamping down of the first amendment is going to help America? Congress shall make NO LAW abridging the freedoms of the press, according to the intentions of America's founders and the highest law in the USA. You talk about 'corrupt politicians'; are these the people you really want to regulate the mainstream media?

If you want to regulate the media, YOU do it. Watch the good stuff, write letters of complaint to the bad stuff. Get your friends to do the same. The power is in the people, not the President.

To Hostile: Where does he say there should be more control? He wants the FCC to do their job! nothing more.

What i suggest the FCC do is reinstate the Fairness Doctrine. and take the media channels out of the corporations hands and give it back to the people.

"What i suggest the FCC do is reinstate the Fairness Doctrine. and take the media channels out of the corporations hands and give it back to the people."

What on earth? That's ridiculous. How would you like it if I took something that belonged to you and gave it 'back to the people'? What if the British government took over Current (for example) and gave it 'back to the people'? Current belongs to it's owners, Daily Show belongs to it's owners, you and I have no claim over those properties. What you're proposing is blatant theft.

The fairness doctrine is going to kill a lot of talk radio and is an obvious and intentional attack on the freedom of speech, it's a complete insult to the question of individual liberty. You have no right to tell these people what they can and cannot say, mate. Does the first amendment mean nothing to you? "Back to the people", jesus christ, of all the naivety. Remember when Castro took the media 'back to the people'? Nobody's been allowed to criticise him since...

the catch 22 . we are supposed to have freedom of press.. we don't want to put government control on media .. but we do end up with that which has the
most $$$ ends up with the most control of media
it's a problem ..
$$$ .. some don't like what they hear and want their point of view made public even though they can't afford to counter the corporate controlled media with $$$
some of course see no problem with corporate $$$ running things ..
but it's a problem
