1. Mr. Stewart...

...unless you've shared the misery of direct and unabated anti-Semitism, you'll never understand the rage going through the average Israeli Jew's head. Six million wasn't enough. They want more. Until the Arab world agrees to absorb the entire Palestinian population, there will be no peace. The Palestinians' only rightful place is somewhere else.
2. No,you're simply not a very honest Jew.You make a living off
(09.01.14)
of "poking fun"/criticizing the only country in the world you should not have, you ignorant idiot! Poke somebody else's eye. We have enough bloody "comedians" trying to destroy us as it is, your President being one of them. And obviously you don't get it: no matter how many boots you lick, you'll always be the "Mossad agent/Christ killer" ,Mr.Leibowitz.
3. Not Funny
Jake ,   Haifa   (09.01.14)
Stewart left or not, anti-Israel or not is simply not funny. His idea of humor is to find a Republican and put stupid words in his mouth, but in a heavy Texas or southern accent. New York Liberal Jews seem to think this addition of the accent is exceptionally clever. Most of the country (look at the actual numbers of Stewarts viewership) find it moronic.
4. Americans are ignorant of the differences in mentality and .
JJJ   (09.01.14)
Jon, you are not an Anti-Semite, but you and most Americans are ignorant of the differences in mentality and cultural attitudes in the Muslim/Arab world. You might think you understand but you don't, the prove is how Americans are appalled and surprised from the beheading of the American while in Israel it was not very surprising. But the mass executions in Gaza by Hamas was been accepted almost as given. For Israelis losing a war of battle will mean all the above. May be Jon you might explain to Obama this fact, but again the Muslims are more then a billion while the Jews in Israel are about six million, and as the American saying goes, were can I sell more this were my interest goes. Furthermore, Some American Jews in order to be more American then Americans some try to keep as big a distance from anything Israel as they can. I coined a name for it, diaspora mentality. How do you describe your self Jon?
5. Jon Stewart
Bob Cooper ,   Chicago USA   (09.01.14)
Jon Stewart is just another self-hating Jew like Wolf Blitzer and so many others that enjoy vilifying Israel.
6. I'll never watch anything by him ever
DOV ,   USA   (09.01.14)
7. Never found Leibowitz funny, just predictable and stale
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (08.31.14)

Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (09.01.14)
I don't think Wolf Blitzer is a SHJ per se.. He's simply paid by CNN and happens to fancy Christiana Amampour ; )
9. Shame on you Jon Stewart and shut your Jew hating mouth
Dina   (09.01.14)
Whether you are Jewish or not makes no difference to me, you are simly a cruel individual. Hope they ban you from entering Israel.
10. I've said it before I've said it a million times...
Al   (09.01.14)
The average Jew in the galut is a whiney putz who is always pining to his hosts. That includes declining his own heritage and pride. Don't be fooled by the appearance of the 'proud' orthodox who may wear their symbols, be in a yalmulka and payos. In fact they are as spineless as most Jews in the galut. Those Jews who are proud eventually find their way to Israel, the rest over time assimilate and disappear. Aside from the fact that some may have some money, overall they don't amount to much.They count even less. The only future is Israel. Israel will not only survive, it will thrive.
11. The totalitarian mindset.....
Bertram ,   London, UK   (09.01.14)
...abhors comedy, unless it is facile, harmless and upsets no-one. The spluttering of the pompous posts here are reminiscent of Ayatollah Khomeini who famously remarked there are no jokes in Islam. I am sorry but I am afraid life is too serious to be immune from having fun poked at it.
12. I never watched this guy
arne ,   chicago usa   (09.01.14)
I guess I really didn't miss much either.
13. Jon Stewart
Mark ,   NYC, USA   (09.01.14)
It's not really creative or original to poke fun of Israel and vilify it. The entire world is doing that. It takes a lot more courage to point out Arab hypocrisy.
14. Jon Stewart Masquerading as a Jew
Scott ,   Ramat Gan   (09.01.14)
Jon Stewart's mother is Catholic. He does not belong to a temple. He identifies himself as a Jew because he sees this as an advantage in the entertainment industry where many powerful moguls are Jews.
15. Besides laughing about the concept of a concentration camp
Kerwood Derby ,   Frostbite Falls,MN   (09.01.14)
with incredulity as if denying they exist with fellow Jew phobe sociopath Jerry Seinfeld, Jon admitted to being pro al queda. Jerry declined to state a preference between al queda and is/isil/isis. Tiu can be sure that neither love you nor the land named for you that protects you. They don't even want to know about pikuach nefesh and its connection to mitzvoth ha eretz and how one must actually need to be present to perform the mitzvoth whereas one can only "practice" in the galut. They have their million$ and hundreds of millions and don't care about the threat they support against the millions of you and them too!
16. I would be carefull with "Self hating Jew"...
John ,   Europe   (09.04.14)
Germans who helped Jews in WW2 were called by Nazis "Self-Hating Germans". Its a fact, check it out.
