Leftist so-called “comedian” Trevor Noah is facing backlash on social media after he compared Islamic terrorist attacks against Israel to Americans fighting the British during the American Revolutionary War.
Noah made the ridiculous comparison during an interview with race-grifting leftist activist Ta-Nehisi Coates discussing Coates’ new anti-Israel, pro-Hamas book — a book so radical that even a mainstream media anchor said it was something that terrorists would read, prompting anger from Noah.
CBS News anchor Tony Dokoupil was later forced to undergo “training” by the network’s “Race and Culture Unit” for stating this during an interview with Coates: “I have to say, when I read the book, I imagine if I took your name out of it, took away the awards, the acclaim, took the cover off the book, publishing house goes away, the content of that section would not be out of place in the backpack of an extremist.”
Tony Dokoupil is a hero. Can’t believe @cbs censored him. Good thing its owner Shari Redstone its owner who is fair and hugely pro-Israel condemned her executives for persecuting his excellent interview. @ta_nehisi_coates_ is a completely ignoramus on Israel@and Jeremy publicly… pic.twitter.com/N1Ypn8tjn1

Responding to Dokoupil’s assessment of the insane book, Noah said that people were outraged because Coates was actually asked legitimate questions about his ridiculous claims — which is something leftists hardly ever experience during interviews with mainstream media journalists.
“I sat there. I don’t get flabbergasted by much. I genuinely don’t. I sat down, I was like, what?” Noah said. “My first thought is, yes, but if you remove every context from everything, then everything could go anywhere. You know what I mean?”
He then tried to compare Islamic terror against Israel to the American Founding Fathers’ fight against the British in the American Revolution.
“If you remove America’s history and America’s [inaudible] and America’s this, then it’s like, yeah, those people who fought against the British they were terrorists,” Noah continued. “I mean, you can call it like, yeah, the Boston Tea Party. That’s terrorism. If you remove the context, everything has no context.”

The leftist comedian’s comments prompted backlash on social media, with Heritage Foundation research fellow Jason Bedrick writing: “I missed the part where George Washington raped and killed British teens at a dance party, and held British children as hostages in terror tunnels.”

“Noah came from apartheid South Africa to USA and made like what $20M a year to talk? Coates was never oppressed and has made a fortune through writing about pseudo-oppression. This conversation is absurd,” wrote filmmaker Eli Steele.

“Yes the American revolution mostly featured George Washington leading terrorists to massacre, rape, and drag the corpses through the streets while celebrating the death of British civilians in large numbers, and then Washington and his terrorists hiding behind innocent colonials daring the British to come get them. Great analogy,” another user sarcastically quipped.
