What Van Jones said was sickening and astonishingly ignorant - even on basic facts. Polls show that Americans without college ed are as angry with Israel as those with one; and, except for Fox viewers, those who don't get their news from social media are as angry as those who do.

This is so on target by Senator @vanhollen.senate.gov! He really gets it.

I’m glad Van Jones apologized for his sick joking about dead kids in Gaza.

But the problem goes deeper: he spread Netanyahu propaganda that the mass killings of civilians in Gaza—including 20K+ kids—is Iranian fake news.

It’s not the students and young people who are fooled. It’s Van Jones.

After rightly showing Israelis support after Hamas's horrific attack in October 2023, Biden set US policy on ruinous path that dehumanized Palestinians, accepting vague aim of 'destroying Hamas' even as it was clear and noted that this entailed razing Gaza itself:

Van Jones is also factually wrong on college and social media: Americans who don't have college education are equally angry with Israel as those who do; and except for Fox viewers, Americans who rely on social media for news are as angry with Israel as those who don't.

Van Jones got shamed so much for joking about dead babies in Gaza with Bill Maher that he tried to personally apologize to imam Dr. Omar Suleiman on Twitter but nobody is accepting the apology because it's not a real apology it's a "I didn't say that but if I did I didn't mean to".

Truly disgraceful and vile @VanJones68.
I'm sorry dead Gaza babies bother you so much. Maybe tell the people paying you to put lipstick on a genocide to stop killing them.

Yeah, I messed up on this one. And I'm sorry. I was trying to raise awareness about foreign
adversaries creating chaos online - which is undermining democracy everywhere. But what I said was easily misunderstood, and the way I said it was flat-out insensitive.
Babies are dying every day in Gaza.
Nobody should dispute that fact or make light of it in any way. To the people living in fear and burying family members every day, of all

He is also factually wrong on college and social media: Americans who don't have college education are equally angry with Israel as those who do; and outsides Fox viewers, Americans who rely on social media for news are as angry with Israel as those who don't.

Wonder if anyone will have as much anger for this as they did jokes about Ghouta

Van Jones repeats “dead Gaza baby” as a punch line. New York Times columnistThomas Friedman laughs along.
