Jon Stewart is not backing down from critiquing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Joe Biden for their bullish policies in Gaza — and now in Lebanon — almost a year since the October 7 attacks, which led to the deaths of 40,000 Palestinians.
"The Daily Show" host, who is hot off an Emmy win, opened the show highlighting the "full cognitive dissonance and language calisthenics" used to describe the Middle East over the last "I don't know, four, five, six, 10,000 years." This is following Israel's recent attacks on Lebanon which Stewart, using Netanyahu's own words, said was the “wanton rocketing” of other nations.
