John Oliver didn\u2019t hold back Sunday as he tore into Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the chorus of right-wing commentators who are downplaying the humanitarian crisis<\/a> in Gaza.<\/p>\n

The \u201cLast Week Tonight\u201d host first slammed Netanyahu\u2019s claim of \u201cno starvation\u201d in Gaza.<\/p>\n

\u201cAre you sure about that, though?\u201d Oliver asked. \u201cBecause we can all see it right in front of us and it\u2019s frankly insulting to think that you can deflect our attention with all the skill of a shitty magician.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, fuck off,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Oliver then turned his focus to conservative figures \u2015 like Fox News<\/a>\u2019 Mark Levin, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee and former Fox personality Megyn Kelly \u2015 who have questioned images of starvation in Gaza after The New York Times amended a story to note that the starving child they had pictured had a pre-existing health condition.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, fuck that shit,\u201d said Oliver. \u201cFor what it\u2019s worth, a child can have a pre-existing condition and be starving. Sick children \u2014 and this is true \u2014 need food to live.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI kind of hoped we were done with Megyn Kelly as a society,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Oliver also pushed back on the scrutiny of photos depicting famine, noting the overwhelming evidence from international aid organizations, Israeli human rights groups and firsthand accounts.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s happening in Gaza right now is a famine,\u201d Oliver said. \u201cAll the information we have points to that \u2014 except for this fucking guy [Netanyahu] and a few adult junior detectives squinting at each photo of a skeletal child to figure out if they\u2019re the right kind of dying.\u201d<\/p>\n
