Jon Stewart Left in Absolute Horror as Palestinian Guest Describes ‘Apocalyptic Scene’ His Family Is Facing in Gaza

Jon Stewart was left in absolute horror as Palestinian poet Mosab Abu Toha described the “apocalyptic scene” that his own family members are facing in Gaza.

On The Weekly Show, Abu Toha described the conditions his family is facing as Stewart asked about Israel officials and staunch supporters pushing back on reports of civilians starving and not receiving aid amid Israel’s war with the terror group Hamas. There are conflicting numbers, but thousands of civilians have died in Gaza and much of the area has been left destroyed from strikes.

“John, I’m talking to first-degree family members. I talked to my parents who are still there. I talked to my uncle, Ibrahim, who had a bachelor’s degree in English and French literature, and he was talking to me on the phone back from the Zikim aid crossing, and he described to me what is an apocalyptic scene,” the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet said.

Abu Toha went on to say his friend told him about horrific sights like seeing civilians dealing with major injuries with no readily-available medical aid.

“He told me, ‘I saw two things, two people, one of them was shot in the arm and he was carrying his arm with his other hand. And then there was another old man who was shot on the abdomen and that man took off his shirt to shut the wound. It’s apocalyptic, John, and I post videos on my X every day,” he said.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed in an interview this week that his plans are for Israel to take full control of and occupy Gaza.

Abu Toha also described a female family member who has lost nearly half of her weight since the war began. He said his family members are telling him they are “starving.”

“My wife’s uncle’s wife, told me that she was 70 kilograms before the genocide and now she is 40. She is 40 kilograms. So she lost 30 kilograms of her weight,” he said.

Abu Toha pushed back on claims that Hamas is stealing civilian aid, while Stewart argued that even if they were, it would be beside the point. Stewart questioned at one point during the episode why there is not more international oversight to ensure the aid gets to civilians in Gaza.

“Look, even if they were stealing some of the aid… it’s a moral imperative to get, to get food in there,” he argued.
