As usual Jon is spot on!

It is as if a lot of politicians have a vested interest in not seeing the absurdity of their arguments and their defense of the blatantly indefensible Israeli assault on Gaza’s people.
The Hamas rockets have killed how many Israelis? Last I heard it was zero, in the last several weeks leading up to the Anschluss.
Israeli attacks on Gaza have already killed over 500 and wounded hundreds more.
Disproportional is a mild understatement.

The rockets have been going on for years and have killed countless Israelis. Israel is not responsible for the innocent deaths, it is Hamas for using their own people as shields and then crying out that they’re dying. Israel has not treated the Palestinians badly, it is their own fault for their situation.

I thought Jon showed his intelligence and bravery on the Jan 5th show. He doesn’t care that he was the only person on American television who showed a different side to the war on Gaza. On the contrary; he pointed out the news channe extreme bias.
I always liked him, but I never respected him more.
Go Jon!

Although I think he was a little too sympathetic to hamas, I still think Jon was awesome in this clippp!!!!!
He has so much guts!!!! I love him!!!!!

Less than 15 Israelis have been killed by the rocket fire in the last 13 years. Israel has murdered that many people in the past hour.
Stop with the “Hamas is to blame” BS, it’s been committed to FOUR (4) truces with Israel in the past 4 years (since 2004) and none of these four have been respected by Israel.
People need to wake up! english.aljazeera.net … Read something different!

Hey Jon, Pocahantas called, she wants her house back, unless you don’t practice what you preach…I am a devoted Daily Show fan so this caught me off guard.
To Mae: When someone is throwing bombs at your house, I hope your government does something about it. Are you this critical of US in Afghanistan or is that justified? How about if India bombs Pakistan for what happened in Mumbai?
For some reason Israel’s right to defend itself is a war crime.

So Susannah, what you’re saying is what was good for the European invasion/settlement of the Americas and the resulting ghettoization, dehumanization, and genocide visited upon Native American cultures, is now good for Israel and the Palestinian people? You’re saying humankind hasn’t progressed or evolved any since those deeply regrettable days? We haven’t learned anything? And we didn’t all arrive at pefect clarity on this darkest potential of human nature, oh, sometime back in World War II??? You know what I’m talking about, right?????
Your one-sided defense of Israel’s immoral policies regarding the Palestinian people is sickening. The fact that you’re saying “But heyyyy, that’s what the American settlers did…so it’s ok for Israel to do it now” is truly despicable. You dishonor the memories of genocide victims both here in America and in Europe. SHAME ON YOU.
Look into the events (starting back in 1948) that led to the current situation in Gaza. Look at the timing of it, in relation to Israel’s upcoming election, and our upcoming inauguration. Do it honestly, and unencumbered by whatever cultural baggage you may have been carrying since birth, and you’ll see that those primitive rockets launched by Hamas aren’t the real reason Israel is reining real-live Hell down on the civilians of Gaza.

IT’S REALLY CHILDISH AND DISGUSTING FOR SOMEONE TO MAKE FUN of A WAR. the next war with muslims will be between pakistan and india, then somalia and then europe.

Jon Stewart You Rock!!……There are sane ppl left in the US after all.
