john oliver middle east HBO’s left-wing host John Oliver on Sunday night opened Last Week Tonight by addressing Israel’s continued efforts to defend itself against an onslaught of rocket fire from Palestinian Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip.
“One side has suffered over 10 times the casualties, something which speaks to both the severe power imbalance at play here and how that often gets obscured by how we choose to talk about it,” the HBO host said.
Watch below: Oliver then promised he’d neither “try and recap the history” or “propose a solution” to the decade’s long conflict, and instead judged the incidents of the past week as “just wrong” because Israel possessed sophisticated defense systems and Hamas terrorists didn’t.
John Oliver ranted: Israel has a so-called Iron Dome so the point is, this isn’t tit-for-tat. There is a massive imbalance when it comes to the two sides’ weaponry and capabilities. While most of the rockets aimed toward Israeli citizens this week were intercepted, Israel’s airstrikes were not. They hit their targets, including a house in a refugee camp, a building housing the Associated Press and Al Jazeera, and [a] 13-story office and apartment building. And while Israel insisted that there were military targets in that building and they destroyed it as humanely as possible, even warning people to evacuate it beforehand, destroying a civilian residence sure seems like a war crime, regardless of whether you send a courtesy heads-up text. As Breitbart News reported , on Saturday elements of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) destroyed the Jala Tower in Gaza, which also housed the Associated Press, Al Jazeera, and other international news outlets.
The IDF tweeted the building contained “Hamas military intelligence assets” and the media had been used as “human shields” before later taking to social media and posting before and after photos of the building and a pile of rubble.
“In general, you should probably never meme a war crime,” scolded Oliver, referencing the IDF social media contributions “The fact is, the citizens of Gaza don’t have an Iron Dome to protect them the way the citizens of Israel do. […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
