at 2:15, Jon Stewart says, "It's not like Hamas lobbing missiles at Israel is a new occurrence, why does Israel feel they have to react so strongly now?" So if it happens a lot, it's ok? They can't target the rockets, so they just aim them at cities. Luckily, they don't normally hit anybody or anything, but they can do some serious damage. The schools have been closed in many southern cities for two weeks now.

About a week ago, Israeli ground forces entered Gaza. The only reason for this is to fight Hamas directly. Ground forces only bring a greater risk to Israeli soldiers, while decreasing the risk to the civilian population of Gaza.

While we're there, many Hamas soldiers don't wear uniforms and claim to be civilians. Israel isn't fighting Gaza, Israel is fighting Hamas, which isn't a conventional army. They live among the population, launch rockets off of their rooftops, hide ammunition in regular homes, and even use UN schools to store and launch rockets into Israel. The reason that Israel bombed the UN school was because they have video of Hamas using it. If the UN stood up to Hamas and didn't allow them to use their school for terror, Israel would not attack it.

Jon Stewart came off terribly uninformed and biased in this piece.
