Jon Stewart's comedy news show The Daily Show is reportedly under fire from pro-Israeli groups for giving airtime to two pro-Palestinian figures on Wednesday night.
Stewart hosted Palestinian democracy activist Mustafa Barghouti and Jewish American human rights activist Anna Baltzer, author of A Witness in Palestine, who explained the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from the perspective of the Palestinian side.

This is a really good example of PEACE activism,
the kind of stuff that PACIFICA should be doing more of.

Access to water is a fundamental human right
Israelis gets 83% of water from aquifers in the occupied West Bank,
West Bank Palestinians get what's left.
Israel's overpumping of the coastal aquifer, its closures and its
military attacks on infrastructure limit Palestinian access to water
in the Gaza Strip.
80,000 Palestinian citizens of Israel have no running water
or sewage systems.
