In an unlikely manifestation of the Israel-Palestine conflict, the comedian Russell Brand and the Fox News anchor Sean Hannity have had a very public and personal disagreement over the Gaza crisis.
The row started when Brand focused an episode of his satirical YouTube series, The Trews, on an episode of Hannity’s show where he questioned Yousef Munayyer, executive director of the Jerusalem Fund. As part of the interview, Hannity asked Munayyer, “what part of this can’t you get through your thick head?”, before stopping the interview short when Munayyer refused to answer “yes” to the question “Is Hamas a terrorist organization?”
“One of the definitions of a terrorist is using intimidation to reach your goals,” says Brand in his video. “Who in that situation was behaving like a terrorist? Using intimidation, bullying, being unreasonable? Sean Hannity, that is where the terrorism is coming from.”
Brand goes on to make the following analogy about the conflict: “If I’m beating up somebody with a variety of weaponry and they’re jabbing me with a pin ... of course, it’s still out of order, the pin. It hurts and everything, but don’t remove all context except for the information that’s convenient to you.”

Yeah, I saw that
She’s not bad
But he’s just out and out gross
And femco
Sure it’s all fun and games till someone sticks the pin in HIS eye! I say we stand outside his next live event and hand out pins to everyone.
Excellent point!
Hardly a war.
Brand could not enage in a war as he is unarmed.
He should just go back to being a lousy not funny comic and leave serious issues to intelligent folks.........

RE: I never heard of Russell Brand.
No big loss.
If I’m beating up somebody with a variety of weaponry and they’re jabbing me with a pin ... of course, it’s still out of order, the pin. It hurts and everything, but don’t remove all context except for the information that’s convenient to you.'No-name' Brand doesn't want to take his own advice -- don’t remove all context except for the information that’s convenient to you.
