Jon Stewart on Criticizing the Hamas War: ‘I Believe Anti-Semitism Will Be Fine’

‘I got to say, not for nothing, but from what I have experienced, it’s very resilient’

EXCERPT:

STEWART: "What anti-Semites... the former prime minister of Israel and defense minister are! But still, people are going to see this segment and go, all right, maybe Israel isn’t perfect, but criticizing them feeds the fire. Don’t you worry about anti-Semitism? And to that I say, no. I believe anti-Semitism will be fine. 
(Laughter and Applause)
I got to say, not for nothing, but from what I have experienced, it’s very resilient. And it's not really tied to any event or war or activity or reality. For God’s sakes, Kanye thought we ruined his Adidas deal. We just need orthotics, that’s all! Anti-Semitism will survive this war like it survived all wars going back to the brave Hebrews at Masada.”
