I always wondered who John Oliver was. Especially after the whole r/pics thing lol.
Now I know, he’s a newsreader? Edit: Nope, comedian, thanks!
He’s a comedian & actor who hosts a news comedy program that does a kind of gonzo journalism. It’s generally pretty well researched in my experience.
Yeah it’s just not something that irked me enough to actually look up lol. Or watch the above video (I don’t have the patience for videos)
One of the most level-headed takes I’ve seen about the war.
Usually I hear either massively pro Israeli government things, the conflation of Hamas/Palestinians, or outright support for Palestine to be a free country, rarely with any nuance.
Nuance is massively important when discussing almost every issue. It’s a shame to hear so few nuanced voices once war sparks. Not the first time either.
outright support for Palestine to be a free country, rarely with any nuance.
Uh… How is that a take that needs nuance, exactly?
Because the notion of equal and non dissmissable human rights and international rules apparently is a radical take nowadays.
…Yeah, I probably should’ve specified a two (or three) state solution instead of dissolving Israel and replacing it with Palestine.
Good to see John Oliver speak up for the civilians instead of picking one genocide over another.
