Time for AMERICA to give ISRAEL TOUGH MORAL LOVE
March 1, 2024Jon Stewart described Israel’s peace plan as a “military siege,” mocking Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s “day after” plan for Gaza.
The comedian discussed the Israel-Hamas war onThe Daily Show, which aired on Monday night, blasting Netanyahu’s calls to take control of the area’s entry and exit points and demilitarize Gaza.
He shared a CNN clip breaking down Netanyahu’s plan for peace, which includes retaining security over the West Bank and Gaza, where Palestinians wish to create an independent state.
“So your peace plan is a siege,” Stewart said of the footage. “A military siege. You really think a military solution ends this cycle?”
Stewart then cut to a video of Netanyahu, in which the politician states “Victory is within reach.”
“You can’t have victory until you eliminate Hamas,” Netanyahu proclaims in the short clip, to which Stewart replies: “But your plan to eliminate Hamas by destroying all of Gaza, doesn’t that just make more Hamases?”
“Palestinian liberation is an idea,” Stewart continued, before jokingly adding, “Unless you have a bomb that kills ideas… Do you have a bomb that kills ideas?
Stewart had his own suggestions for achieving peace in the Middle East, including playing tennis at Seeds for Peace’s Maine summer camp. The non-profit aims to transform “legacies of conflict into courage,” holding annual dialogue sessions and group challenges for teenagers.
“How fast can we make 14 million rackets?” Stewart asked, before moving on to his second option of “just ask God.”
“He can tell us who is right,” he said. “Is it the Jews? Is it the Muslims? Is it the Zoroastrians?
“If it’s the Scientologists, a lot of us are going to have egg on our faces.”

English Script:
John Stewart: Dear God. If you insist on this plan, if you think that ends Hamas, I believe we in the United States have a banner you can use. It’s a little wind damaged, but equally delusional. Look, the United States is Israel’s closest ally. Israel’s big brother in the fraternity of nations. Israel’s work emergency contact. Maybe it’s time for the US to give Israel some tough moral love.
American politicians: This is shameful. There has to be accountability for these war crimes. No targeting civilians in war. Stop the war crimes and the atrocities and end the war today. It could happen right now.
John Stewart: Right now. Thank you. These atrocities must be… Sorry. I’m being told the administration was talking about Russia bombing Ukraine. I apologize. Also a war crime. But I’m sure they’re giving equally stern advice to Israel.
American politicians: The Biden administration is urging Israel to be much more careful, to be more cautious. How Israel does this matters. Israel must do more to protect innocent civilians. We want to see the government of Israel take steps to minimize civilian harm. Be more surgical and more precise. Be more careful.
John Stewart: Hey, Israel. Take it down a notch. Could you please be more careful with your bombing? It’s good advice, but really, couldn’t the United States have told Israel that when we gave them all the bombs? There are bombs. This is like your coke dealer coming in with an eight ball and going, don’t stay up all night. Sleep is very important. You got to sleep.
