Jon Stewart proposes NATO-style solution to solve Gaza conflict

Jon Stewart proposed a NATO-style solution to the war in Gaza as he slammed the international community for its weak response to the Israel-Palestine conflict.

On Monday night’s The Daily Show, Stewart recapped the war, which began on 7 October, when Hamas militants stormed into Israel, killing 1,400 people and taking hundreds hostage across the Gaza border.

Israel’s retaliatory airstrikes on the enclave have killed more than 29,000 Palestinians, according to health officials in Gaza,

Stewart argued that the international response to the conflict has not gone far enough, criticising Joe Biden for telling Israel to “be more careful” during its attacks.

“‘Could you please be more careful when you’re bombing?’ It’s good advice,” Stewart quipped.

“But couldn’t the United States have told Israel that when we gave them all the bombs? They’re our bombs. It’s like your coke dealer coming in with an eight ball and going, ‘Don’t stay up all night.’”

He also criticized the United Nations for not doing more to stop the killing. “What is the United Nations even?” Stewart asked. “What, are you just a support system for a diverse and pleasing food court?”

The comedian went on to offer some solutions to the crisis between Israel and Palestine, joking that a scaled-up version of a 2014 event in Maine that involved 95 Israeli and Palestinian teens trading “rockets for rackets” could work to create a “safe and free Israel and safe and free Palestine.”

The Daily Show host Jon Stewart has slammed the international community for its weak response to the Israel-Palestine conflict.

Or, the host continued, maybe we could just ask God. “It’s his house, he’s the one who started all this. Just ask God, he can tell us who is right,” he continued.
