Jon Stewart criticizes Biden for refusing to explicitly denounce Israel’s war behavior

Stewart went on to criticize Blinken for claiming he didn’t know the full scoop on the latest Israeli land seizure in the West Bank. “Why do we tiptoe on eggshells?!” he asked, insisting that U.S. officials should call it what it is. “They’re punching America in the face and our response is, ‘If someone were to punch us in the face, that would be worrying.'”

“The verbal gymnastics the U.S. government must undertake to avoid offending the delicate sensibilities of a country to which we supply most of our weapons is…,” Stewart continued, letting out a pained scream. “Every time America tells the world there is something we will not allow, Israel seems to say, ‘Challenge accepted.’ Are they deliberately trying to provoke us?”
