'[Much] is complicated here. But some things are pretty simple,' John Oliver said during a 'Last Week Tonight' segment on Israel and the Palestinians.

An Israeli airstrike destroyed a building in Gaza City that housed offices of the Associated Press and other media outlets.Oliver concluded his segment by calling on the United States to “seriously consider changing its long-held position” on Israel and the Palestinians.

“Hamas doesn’t represent all Palestinians, just as what Israel is doing right now doesn’t represent all Israelis — or indeed Jewish people. Lots is complicated here. But some things are pretty simple. One side is suffering much more,” Oliver said. “For decades, the backbone of America’s policy in the Middle East has been that America is an unwavering friend to Israel ...

Oliver is far from the only celebrity to voice his support for besieged Palestinians in Gaza over the past week. Many Hollywood luminaries — including Ahmed, Gigi and Bella Hadid, Mark Ruffalo, Indya Moore and Halsey — have advocated for Palestinians on social media.Supermodel Bella Hadid, who is of Palestinian descent, was spotted Saturday in New York City among protesters demanding human rights for Palestinians.

'Israel's John Oliver' responds to America's John Oliver. iamjohnoliver LastWeekTonight LiorSchleien

So it’s ok that Israel is being bombarded every day?

If you're taking this Duracell Bunny seriously when it comes to real news, you need your head examined. The guy is a twit.

1: how is this news? 2: Expect a good beating when you punch a bigger guy in the face

Persecution & apartheid are among most serious crimes against humanity - & clear case of both by Israel against Palestinians are enough to trigger ALL states obligations under int'l law to eg, impose sanctions against Israel. US needs more? Israel is making case for Genocide

Why has Israel inflamed Jerusalem & Gaza? Trump gave it everything it sought to free US Foreign Policy. Netanyahu's legal problems, forcing Biden's hand, are crippling the US in meeting its Global challenges. GOP, Dems and Media grow up & care for America's predicament for once

John Oliver how come you haven't spoken to any Jewish entertainers? Any celebrity who speaks freely in supporting Israel feels like they will be shot. Gal Gadot posted at the beginning of the out break a message to her parents. Millions attacked her on her media pg.

So help stop their suffering by freeing Palestine from Hamas! It's like saying the US shouldn't defend itself against terrorism bc they are so strong and big. Lol dumbest take on this.

Stop lobbing cheaply made Iranian missiles and you won’t get your shit blown the fuck up. Easy Peasy
