Jon Stewart making trouble again

[Magda Hassan]

Anna (who appeared with Mustafa Barghuti on the Daily Show) circulated a message about her appearance. I am citing from it (with her permission): "Last night Dr. Barghouti and I were on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart talking about Palestine. The show was overwhelmed with angry emails and phone calls prior to the appearance, and up until the last minute it seemed like they might cancel. During the taping the show had it's only heckler in 11 years.The entire staff were very nervous and may come to regret the monumental decision (and not make it again) as they will surely be inundated now that the show has aired..Many of you who watched the show on TV noticed that everything of real substance that I said was edited out. The major issues cut out were (1) the US role in aiding Israel, (2) the lack of adequate coverage in mainstream US media, and (3) the Palestinian-led movement for Boycott / Divestment / Sanctions (BDS) to nonviolently pressure Israel to comply with international law."

Oh, that's no good. Here is the Daily Show web site. I hope people will post their thoughts here so they don't get away with this censorship and tell them they support having these guests on the show. Tell Jon and his staff about the hasbara brigade that floods the internet with pro-Israeli propaganda at the first sign of any Palestinain voices or in their eyes anti- Israeli attitudes.
