Trying to extract comedy from Israel's bombing of Gaza is a difficult task, but behind the jokes, Jon Stewart offered a common-sense solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict.
After offering two humorous solutions to the conflict, Stewart made his real point, “Start now: No preconditions, no earned trust. No partners for peace. Israel stops bombing. Hamas releases hostages. Did. The Arab countries that claim Palestine is their top priority come in and create a demilitarized zone between Israel and an independent Palestinian state. The Saudis, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Jordan, all creating a NATO arrangement. That guarantees security for both sides! Obviously, they won't call it NATO; it's the Middle East Treaty Organization. It's me too! Tweet this! Tonight, people! Let's get this region ready for me too Do it! Now obviously, I haven't worked out the exact wording, but anything has to be better than the (bleep) cycle we have now. Because, honestly, what's the alternative?”
