Christiane Amanpour - “The Amanpour Hour” and Covering War in Gaza | The Daily Show

“History is not always a great teacher. Leadership matters, and we are in a crisis of leadership in the world.” CNN Chief International Anchor Christiane Amanpour sits down with Jon Stewart to discuss the unprecedented difficulty in covering the war in Gaza, the squashed Middle East peace process of the 1990s, and Muslim countries abandoning Palestinians. Christiane also discusses showcasing diverse viewpoints and opinions on her show, “The Amanpour Hour,” including one Israeli woman who told her, “We must make friends with our enemies, otherwise we will keep dying.” #DailyShow #JonStewart #ChristianeAmanpour

Until Israel explains the standdown (they haven't) we must see 10/7 as an inside job to level Gaza and give the rebuilt real estate (on US taxpayer's dime) to Israelis. Notice Jon Stewart says NOTHING of this obvious agenda.

Because Comedians and satirists are much better at observation of the daily world and its facts and absurdities. Since birth. They can state the obvious, which is something our traditional media and propaganda machines will never do . Think about Walter Cronkite, he stated the news, with zero opinion or voice inflection to convey judgement. The only day he stepped off course for one moment and actually removed his eye glasses, was the moment he had to announce that JFK was dead . And later on, Vietnam was the first war to air on TV.

[@SpinBuster2024]

Probably for the same reason Christiane Amanpour had to come to satire show to finally start making sense.

[@gweebara]

Hearing the nuance of this discussion it hartens me that it is possible to actually talk about the underlying issues🎉 Jon Stewart we are constantly astounded at your ability to bring the whole issue to the people

[@simonkapadia7582]

Not really, because the underlying issues were not significantly touched on at all, and that's not a criticism in and of itself, but this kind of segment is not suited to a proper discussion. The reality is that there's a lot of context that's extremely important, for instance in talking about Palestinian refugees you really do need to know the history and how that history is conceptualised by different groups. I'm not going to say "oh it's all so complex" because in many ways it's intensely simple, but without context people are not likely to recognise the nature of the situation. If you listened to this segment without being acquainted with the actual detail you would be reasonably likely to come away with a rather skewed perception. And of course, that's one reason why for so long US media has succeeded in sustaining a particular narrative, because its media has been consistent in recapitulating their internalised concept, without reference to the facts and because their audience, having not ever been educated on the facts are not able to discern how the issue is being framed and decontextualised. The issue is that you can't have these discussions at all without real clarity about what you're talking about. I applaud Jon for speaking his mind on a topic where very few are doing so, but he does have a rather reductive perspective all-in-all.

[@gweebara]

@@simonkapadia7582 I can not agree with you at all you used a lot of words to say nothing. First off John brought into crisp focus the fact that the Arab states around Israel have no interest in policing the Arab extremists that they've created. Many places like a run have totally changed in the last 40 years from an inclusive multicultural diverse system to a theocratic despotism. Looking not just at Israel but at all the neighbors there too is important. Secondly looking truly deeply at BB netanyahu and his horrifically bad track record it is clear that nothing is going to be done in Israel until the people of Israel are liberated from him. 3rd and finally this is not going to be resolved unless the war crimes on both sides are addressed and prosecuted Yes Hamas needs to face justice but so do the Zionist movement inside of Israel and all of their crimes. Hunger used as a weapon, forced relocation, the genocide of a people... unacceptable

@@Erik-tu3rw Palestinians are Not Arabs. Just because they speak an Arab dialect does not make them Arab anymore than an American is English because they speak English. FYI : Latest studies have shown that Palestinian DNA has an 81% match with Bronze Age remains in that region. Therefore, Palestinians are indigenous for the last 3700 years.

John is absolutely brilliant ! He made even sleeperry and sleezy Amanpur to take a stand and tell the truth! And yet she was sooo uncomfortable that at the very end she needed to go back to where she feels much more comfortable - bashing Russia and "standing for Ukraine." So CNN of her! Well done John Stewart for not allowing her to Amanpour her way out this one and replace one topic with another

[@elmostafajaouhari2688]

You are the best Jon!thanks for standing for the truth

[@Zib099]

What a great time for John to be back! Nobody could do it better. Such a pivotal moment in history and who better to talk about it on his platform.

[@SherifaNakalema]

I enjoyed being in the audience for this important discussion. Traveling back from New York the day after. I loved the way Jon answered questions from the audience. Very brilliant🎉

What were the kinds of questions thrown at Jon? 🤔

Bibi propped up hammas for years and now he’s going to eliminate them. Sure.

[@JupiterMoon7]

Exactly, propped up, funded them, and repeatedly stated that "Jamas is Israel's greatest asset!" People are so selective in their attention and knowledge when they want to complain about Jamas.

[@Iskander448]

He propped them up for this purpose. The idea behind propping up Hamas was to make people think that all Palestinians supported Hamas. If people believe that, then what is being done in Gaza can be justified (including the settler encroachment and Jared's Kushner's resort "idea"). Don't forget that he is fighting for political relevancy. There are many in his camp that feel the elimination of Hamas will allow him to win reelection and avoid prosecution.

[@armlovesmetal1036]

I think her point was that we can sometimes be tricked into thinking that because something happened one way in the past that it will happen the same for something similar in the present.

Plenty of western press outlets have been saying this for months, and every other time this has happened. The problem is the west in general is dealing with an increasingly deranged far right movement that will defend Israel no matter what it does.

They showed, what kind of people they are, and not only on October 7. Hey, Mensch, Germans were people too - all way from 1933 to 1945. Something about “liberating” was written on Auschwitz gates too

[@dee_dee_place]

Whenever I travel around the world, I ask the local people to explain what is going on in their countries because our media only spoon-feeds us what they want us to know. I met an Israeli Gentleman a few years ago & when I asked him what was going on, he told me that every morning he wakes up, pours himself a cup of coffee, looks out his front window, & prays that his Son will come home alive from school that day. When he is done praying, he looks across his courtyard into his Palestinian neighbor's front window only to see him, doing the same thing. The leaders of our world's countries need to stop going after their self-interests & start actually looking out for their people. I will generalize here, "No person on Earth, wants to live if it is at the cost of their Brothers' & Sisters' lives. No person."

Please interview some journalists who evacuated Gaza or virtually interview those who are in Gaza now. Their voices need to be heard, and some of them speak English too so communication should be easy.

[@kevinhebner6773]

I’m sure this has been said, thousands of times before, and definitely more eloquently, but why is it that our most insightful comedians and satirists always get to the heart of issues so easily? From Mark Twain to Mort Sahl to George Carlin to Robin Williams to Jon Stewart - brilliance.

[@stillaworkinprogress2147]

Never, ever forget George Carlin. He still is one of the best to get to the heart of the issues.

It is the role of comedy from the jester in a kings court to now. The role of comedian is to call truth to power.
