’No Jews, No News’? Victor Davis Hanson Debunks Van Jones’ CNN Comments

Yesterday was the two-year anniversary of Hamas’ horrific Oct. 7, and in its wake, it sparked a wave of unbridled antisemitism that’s become normalized in society. The latest example in media is when CNN’s Van Jones claimed the media ignores the genocide in Nigeria because “they’re not Jewish,” coining the phrase “No Jews. No news.”

Victor Davis Hanson addresses Jones’ comment and breaks down how history and ideology shape what the media choose to see and what they ignore on today’s episode of "Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words."

“The people who are killing innocent Nigerian Christians, perhaps 130 over the last 15 years, are black Islamic terrorists, Boko Haram. And in the hierarchy of DEI, the Left does not criticize groups that they feel are on the oppressed or victimized side of this Marxist binary. So, in their way of thinking, you do not criticize black Islamicists, even when they kill black Christians, to the same degree you would if they were other Christians or they were white settler colonialists, as the Left calls them.”
