동아시아의 평화와 화해의 정치학 Scrapbook

I hope this show never loses its backbone, it’s one of the few outlets of real journalism.

@tBeNz0

For real. Coffeezilla legit, too.

@BeatAngel

Agreed, for me Some More News as well

@erebostd

There are some in other languages, too. But they all feel the pressure. It’s a disgrace that this is an entertainment show, and not on major news…

@BellaJoASMR

I was just thinking this. This show keeps me sane in the world of ragebait and bullshit.

@BellaJoASMR You say this but yet he was still featuring andrew tate monday. And the overwhelming majority of comment on that video was criticizing andrew's presence , yet yesterday, there was no comment commentary, gee what a surprise...

@AustralianOpalRocks

That's funny. This show always has an agenda that it pushes

@alnibodycare

Has no backbone because he’s been pro-Hamas

@bladerunner3314

But isn't it sad, when you say that about a satire show?

@heeeeeeba

As a Palestinian who legally immigrated to American 17 years ago.. I never thought I’d see this on American TV.. it made me cry and reminded me of all of my childhood trauma living under the occupation in the west bank.. THANK you for speaking up and to your team for gathering all this info and showing it in 30 mins.

@Muzikrazy213

You have me in tears. I'm happy you made it to the U.S. but also my deepest condolences to anyone you or your fellow countrymen have lost through this clear genoc1de. I have called my representatives here to tell them to call for the UN to stop vetoing resolutions condemning Israel's actions as war crimes. I have written a couple letters telling different depts of government to stop sending money to Israel. I don't know much more I can do but hope💔

@nullcat-pub

sending you so much love

@dianegenx

I'm so sorry,Dear. This situation should not be happening. Every person should be allowed to live in peace.

@simonebongiovanni3397

Why did you leave your home just after it was given back to you in 2005?

@albxox

We leave here for 3500 years, and we are the occupiers?

@ActuallyDoubleGuitars

How did you legally immigrate, what does that mean?

@H3xx99

Whenever I hear an Israeli say "Nobody was using this land" I have to stop and determine if they meant literally nobody, or "Some Palestinians were here, but they don't count as people."

Israeli settlers living literally above Palestinians and throwing things down on them is such a blunt visual metaphor for apartheid if you read it in a book you'd critique it for being to on the nose.

@Bd569h

WOW. THANK YOU. As a palestinian citizen in the west bank, every second of this was like pulling the deepest scars out of my soul. I literally felt lighter after watching this.

@omars7951

Crazy to think some of the best journalism in the USA has been done by a British Comedian on a late night show. Major respect to John Oliver.

@cherylcampbell9369

Democracy Now is an excellent news source. Their YouTube channel has multiple videos every day.

@russnrach8

He’s a modern day court jester speaking truth to power.

@PoseidonDiver

Even more crazy that he adopted an antisemitic stance during this very political period.

@berjanbeen7188

He's just collecting the journalism of others and packaging it in an entertaining way to make it less utterly depressing. His writers and researchers do a great job, but that journalism is already done by the outlets that are quoted in this piece (such as Vice news). I think it's important to remember that.

@omars7951

@cherylcampbell9369 I agree. Democracy now is great! I was watching it earlier.

@pluckybellhop66

There's something full circle about it

@Iason29

It is good that they showed that video of the Is.raeli soldier and it is very lucky that Pale.stinian managed to catch it on camera. People need to understand that that is what slaverly looks like. It's the same way tur.ks treated greeks for generations and still do to the few minorities left that still live under tur.kish rule. Most greeks can understand what palestin.ians are going through.

@Lurch685

I’ve been to Hebron and walked through those segregated streets. It’s horrifying. The checkpoints to get in are humiliating too.

Imagine after getting treated like that your whole life getting called teror.rist and N.zi

@marcokrueger3399

As a German citizen who takes the phrase "Never again" very seriously (in the second interpretation), I'm appalled by what the Israeli government uses that phrase for. It has bugged me for years now that every bit of criticism against Netanjahu has been deemed antisemitic. A position that not only the Israeli government supports, but many Germans, too. And let me be clear on that: No, it isn't! On the other hand, what Netanjahu's government does is anti-human. We have far too many people over here that think they are on the right side of history when they blindly support Israel's actions, no matter what.

@isaacarthur8523

In this era of media, it means a lot that John Oliver and HBO put this episode out. Thank you for having the courage to say what so few in your position are willing to say.

@LouiseCOTTO

John Oliver, watching this episode drove me close to tears. You are THE ONLY journalist/comedian/presenter on TV who actually says the truth. You are courageous and just amazing. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for getting out this message of the Palestinian plight to the world. Please don't ever stop!

@ex0duzz

One of the most important episodes you've ever done John. Never stop doing shat you're doing. Always reveal the ugly truths about your own country and government, and always make a stand and fight for truth, justice, and morality.

@mechanichick

Finally!!! This episode brought me to tears. As a Palestinian-American who was born and raised in the States, I grew up thinking the 'radical' Palestinians were always provoking the 'peaceful' Israelis. I am ashamed to say I was embarrassed to even say I was Palestinian to all my American friends. The media had me believing that the oppressed were the oppressors. The media had me believing that my people were terr.orists. When I moved to Palestine and saw with my own eyes the reality of the situation, my mind was blown by the injustice. I just wanted to scream to the world 'what you are seeing on the news is a lie!!' Thank you from the bottom of my heart to John Oliver and his team for being the voice of the oppressed.

props to him for showing something MANY in his industry would be cancelled so quickly for even whispering about.

@ryuuguu01

I have not watched LWT for about a year. I was surprised to see this produced in the US. I have nothing to add but this needs to be viewed by more people and comments drive the algo.

@MTTT1234

24:47 That guy did his homework there, when he talks about dignity being non-negotiable, because he was talking to a German delegation. And the first article of the German constituation says 'Human dignity shall be inviolable. To respect and protect it shall be the duty of all state authority.'

Thank you for shedding a light on the truth, May Allah bless you guys and us, guide you and us to see what’s right, and to act on it. Amen

@TheYuleTube

The part where all the settlers are speaking about why they settled, it is quite a realization when most of them spoke with a clear American accent.

@ayoungethan

I was in the middle east in 2008, which included a few weeks in the West Bank. In that short time I personally saw examples of everything John Oliver talks about in this video. Checkpoints every few miles, sniper towers and forced ghettoization. Gleeful harassment and humiliation of old men and women at gunpoint. Settlers on the hill taking pot shots at Palestinians and their cars and houses (yes, with guns, not merely rocks and beer bottles). A military convoy of about 10 vehicles rolled into town at night, abducted several people and left their family members terrified amd confused. No arrest, no formal charges. Bulldozed houses, denied permits. So glad someone is addressing the elephant in the room re: Israeli ethnic cleansing. The settlements and expansionism absolutely must go. Israel does just fine with its legal territories and could be generating so much more wealth for itself and the world in peaceful relations at least with Egypt and Jordan. Israel could be so much stronger and more secure if it cleaned house of these right wing nut jobs.

@rosslarsen6144

Great reporting. I wish the mainstream media would be brave enough to show Americans what we're supporting day in and day out.

@salamhasan6358

Thank you John Oliver. Completely on point. My favorite line: “To be clear, dignity is the absolute beginning of this; what’s required is justice. And the call for that is getting louder.” Over 7 decades of injustice, devastation, & apartheid, supported by the biggest powers that be, has to end.

@WhisperingIntoTheVoid

As a South African, I can confirm that Apartheid has a smell.

@roastbeefy0weefy

@finno3677

I can not articulate the respect I have for you guys for putting out this episode in today’s political climate. As someone who’s been involved in this conflict since my early teens, about 15 years now, I feel increasingly isolated with the idea of a peaceful and just future. It pains me a lot to see how hate and backwardness has taken over even the younger generations of Jews and Israelis, which I once saw as the new hope, those who could make a change. So thank you for this, it’s really important.

@milosterwheeler2520

I love John Oliver and his courage to state the truth, no matter how many people hate to hear it.

@EdwardHongActor

Just to comment that Last Week Tonight still winning an Emmy while still delivering incredible and HONEST news segments like this gem gives me hope.

@romangysse3690

John made the HBO lawyers work so much (and so rich) that they managed to avoid a nervous breakdown the second John's team let out the words "West Bank". "You know what, John ? Go on. The dragons are our Iron Dome so this one shall pass." They won an Emmy after making a 2020 sign explode. But here, it's real journalism. With more integrity and backbone than most modern media. I applaud it, encourage it. I've been pro-Palestinian since I was 16 years old reading an article about a kid shot by an Israeli soldier with au automatic rifle after the boy had thrown a rock at him. And I think it's the first time an American show teaches me anything about how awful the Palestinian situation is. I hope the Last Week Tonight's team courage can inspire many others to speak up or act !

@AznCracker13

I was in the West Bank last year Nov-Dec shortly after the conflict escalated and this is not an exaggeration. There are walls and fences everywhere, so much so it looks more like an internment camp than a home. Went through like 5 checkpoints before I got to where I needed to go. Luckily I was a foreigner so they let us through without hassle after flipping through my passport. However, some of the Palestinians on the bus were not as lucky where some were not allowed through the checkpoint and had to get off the bus and stand in the middle of the road to get a ride back. They are living in an open air prison.

Years ago I worked with a Palestinian guy & we became friends. He’d lost count how many times he’d heard from his family & friends still living in the West Bank that their crops had been destroyed by settlers or yet another person had been driven out of their home by them while the IDF stood by & did nothing. Yet as sad & frustrated as he sounded during our chats about what was happening he was never filled with hate. I know he’d hoped to move back to Palestine at some point so as of now I don’t even know if he & his wife & kids are still alive.

@unknowndoda

I had read an interview withNeta Shoshani., the Israeli film director who made the documentary about the massacre of Der Yassin by israeli forces, she told a story about her grandmother, who had emigrated to Isreal from Europe after the Holocaust . She lived in a tent for awhile and then was brought to a house and told it was now hers. She could see that the dishes were still on the table from the Palestinian family that had been forced to leave their home by israeli forces- Neta's grandmother refused the house saying" I will not do to someone else what was just done to us' - If the people of israel had the integrity and decency of Neta's grandmother- we would have had peace rather than genocide perpetrated by israel.

The facts presented by John Oliver are accessible to anyone with a minimum interest in justice and trustworthy information and if John’s position is perceived as rare and brave, that is evidence of the power of the media to create, spread and solidify lies to the point the that they become accepted truths by most people – a strategy the US puts to use very efficiently. To me that shows how crucial the need for media-savvy education is. Thank you, John and team.

27:46 you guys don't get how much of a Powermove that is. He's talking to a german delegation, the first two sentences in the German Constitution are 'The dignity of man is inviolable. To respect and protect it shall be the duty of all public authority.' I'm surprised John and his crew didn't pick up on that one

First, thank you to the courageous and true journalist, and to his professional team. A simple ‘thank you’ is not enough. This was a sensitive topic and a monumental effort. Second, a message to the voters: It is your direct and foremost duty to seek the truth about those you support, especially in light of these human rights violations. In the age of the internet, this has never been easier. Do not underestimate the power of your influence—it could be the difference between the life and death of an innocent person. Stop the genocide, and end the inhumane settlement expansions.

As a Jewish person the Israeli government makes me sick, and as an American it’s enraging my tax dollars are given unconditionally to this apartheid regime. May the Palestinian people get the dignity and justice they deserve

@amirmohammed3248

It's supposed to be a comedy show, but I'm honestly crying watching this, the absolute injustice those people suffered over the years is incredible, and more incredible is the silence and tolerance of the world

watching all of this, like those people are not even humans. It's just

Was in tears during this comedy. Bravo John

, the brave will speak truth to power.

@laurentlambert6347

Such a brave John Oliver, with a million times more guts than most journalists!

@JoshSaysStuff

I appreciate this show so, so much. The guts it takes to bring this issue to light on such a large scale is incredible.

@suvarchalaa

Thank you John. This is your BEST episode ever. Thank you for the truth and for doing what the rest of the cowards, deniers, spin-doctors won't. Thank you for you. You give us hope.

@frantzkenol6720

Holy crap, I watched the whole thing and even it’s more incredible than I thought. WOW, I cannot believe Oliver laid out the truth as much as he did. INCREDIBLE!! thank you for your courage sir.

John Oliver deserves an award for his work on this issue. As an American voter who's neither Jewish nor Palestinian, I'm tired of my government misappropriating taxes to fund war crimes. We need young people to run for office and get rid of the old guard.

@Lynl1p

Thank you John for shining light on the injustice. The state department has been a big problem.

@Rotyoto

No country has a right to stand on this level of injustice period.

@jimgselder

Right on, John. Right on.

@khaledalmerbati9570

Thank you for being on the right side of history, Mr. John Oliver and everyone who is supporting this

@gunnarherzog5538

I have to say, the statement at 27:48 talking to the German delegation about the need for dignity is quite a good point to make in the presence of Germans, as the very first sentence of the very first article of the German consitution reads "Human dignity shall be inviolable", which was intentionally written to prevent even taking the road towards another genocide (let alone commiting one).

@SamTamimi-k6g

wow. No one has explained the Palestinian plight in the West Bank so clearly as John. Thank you!

@TariqRahman-dt3hn

Thank you John Oliver. Very enlightening and informative and entertaining too.

@Theillive

I just learned more about this complex international conflict in 30 minutes than I have from actual YEARS of “news” coverage. Once again, LWT knocks it out of the park.

@ongeziwegodlwana7674

Watching this as a is so heartbreaking. I remember the stories my mom used to tell about the forced removals of people from their homes by the apartheid government in South Africa. What's happening in the West Bank and Gaza is a thousand times worse. Thank you, John Oliver, for doing what CNN, BBC, and all the other news media channels that we once trusted are refusing to do.
