Jon Stewart Criticizes Israel's 'De-Escalation Through Escalation' Tactics

The Daily Show host blasts Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and questions U.S. support amid escalating conflict with Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Jon Stewart condemned Israel's strategy of 'de-escalation through escalation' on The Daily Show, calling it 'James Bond shit' from the 1980s.
Stewart criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for 'wanton rocketing' and questioned the effectiveness of the Biden administration's push for a ceasefire in Gaza.
Exploding pagers and walkie-talkies, allegedly used by Israeli intelligence to target Hezbollah, have resulted in numerous casualties, including the deaths of at least 10 people and injuries to thousands.
The Israeli military's recent airstrikes in Lebanon have killed over 490 people, including women and children, prompting warnings for residents to evacuate.
Stewart argued that criticism of Israel's actions is not antisemitic, pointing out that antisemitism has persisted throughout history and will continue regardless of the current conflict.
