John Oliver didn’t hold back Sunday as he tore into Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the chorus of right-wing commentators who are downplaying the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
The “Last Week Tonight” host first slammed Netanyahu’s claim of “no starvation” in Gaza.
“Are you sure about that, though?” Oliver asked. “Because we can all see it right in front of us and it’s frankly insulting to think that you can deflect our attention with all the skill of a shitty magician.”
“Oh, fuck off,” he added.
Oliver then turned his focus to conservative figures ― like Fox News’ Mark Levin, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee and former Fox personality Megyn Kelly ― who have questioned images of starvation in Gaza after The New York Times amended a story to note that the starving child they had pictured had a pre-existing health condition.
