So a man hurting himself and no one other sets a dangerous precedent? The murdering of thousands of children is totally fine though?
What's with these IOF freaks posing with women's underwear? The images keep popping up.
Hamas tunnels, october 7.
a precedent for others to seek some sort of martyrdom by killing themselves
A few days old but I swear this Rabbi is unhinged.
This could be good news ?
Letting the folks at the old people’s home out for a treat it looks like.
The Biden administration has said in many different ways that they want to make sure that this ceasefire will be temporary, so that Israel can continue the liquidation at a later date, maybe when the heat has reduced a little.
Jon Stewart is roasting everyone here. Most fair and balanced take I have seen in a good bit.
"Both sides" bullshit as expected. Putting up Hamas as the counterpart to Israel just legitimizes what Israel is doing.
It's a well known fact that after the reconquista Sephardi jews moved to North Africa preferring to live under Berber/Arab occupation with the already existing Mizrahi jews of the region than living under the Spanish.
It still needs to be agreed on by both Hamas and Israel which hasn't happened yet. It's a similar case to the last proposal but most likely the pressure has increased on both of them to reach some kind of a middle ground.
Ramadan starts soon. Usually calm things down then.
Think it has to do with some prophecies. Like the boots on the ground one in Syria.
“I’ll no longer be complicit in genocide. I’m about to engage in an extreme form of protest. But compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonisers it’s not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.”
These people are sick.
Mentally unwell lunatics.
For the ones that are into these kind of long-form essays, I'd recommend this. I don't think it's going to change a lot of minds, but it has some good points about this conflict, the role of the media, the role of politicians, etc. He is able to articulate and contextualize some of the feelings I have about this, better than I probably could myself. I've enjoyed his work on many other topics, so I was eager to this a listen as well.
Israel government is worse because is supposed to be a democratic government with democratic values. They are both terrorist institutions with Israel government with a 75 history of terrorism, raping, killing, stealing land, kidnapping and torturing and Hamas 40 years the same but losing land
Israel have attacked worshippers in Al Aqsa mosque the last few years during Ramadan.
And they put/showed all that on CNN?
They read it aloud, and also recount how he yelled "Free Palestine" as he was burning.
I can not recommend watching the actual video (which CNN didn't do either). It's pretty disturbing.
Hamas barely featured for a mere few seconds in the whole segment. Who would you put as the counterpart when there is now no government in the West Bank?
I guess you're also not a fan of his idea of METO (

I guess an ongoing genocide being conducted with impunity just doesn't lend itself very well to Stewarts brand of chirpy humor. That's just my opinion though. It actually made me kind of angry watching it, but I suppose it's good that some people can see the funny side. He could have used his platform to mention unlawful killings in the West Bank, unlawful killings of journalists and medical personal, Israeli civilians cheering on the slaughter, Israeli civilians blocking aid from entering Gaza, IDF soldiers destroying homes and stealing possessions from refugees, and I could go on. But he didn't do any of that.
Agreed. It was surprisingly underwhelming from Stewart.
It felt like watching a deleted scene from a dystopian film. I couldn’t stop thinking how it would look if Stewart was making jokes about another genocide. Making his silly faces and pretending to take notes as footage of the Rwandan genocide or the Holocaust plays in the background. The segment felt incredibly hollow and one of those things people in the future will look back on in horror at.
As the political content. Stewart is mostly stuck in the mid to late 2000’s so the guy world view is extremely outdated. I’ve watched his last 3 big set pieces and genuinely a quick wiki search would be more informative.
That's exactly what I felt.
and Hamas committed their massacre on 7th October which was the Jewish Holy Day of Simchat Torah
Important statement.
Embarrassing
Who does the administration think this is winning over ? At this point it seem every leak or news is designed to piss off voters.
i think Dem partisans like it because they can point to this stuff (without bothering witbh the specifics) and say biden is minimizing the damage.
I did see someone on the forum today describe the genocide as a “policy disagreement”. The Dem partisans still going strong.
I guess at end of the day comedians even the ones that still behind desks in suits are just clowns. When they have to talk about serious issues it really shows how useless their platform is.
