what did van jones say about gaza

Van Jones made a controversial comment on HBO's "Overtime with Bill Maher" about images of children killed in Gaza, referring to it as a "massive disinformation campaign" by Iran and Qatar on social media. He said, "If you are a young person, you open up your phone, and all you see is dead Gaza baby, dead Gaza baby, dead Gaza baby." These remarks were widely criticized as insensitive and offensive. Van Jones later apologized, acknowledging his comment was "easily misunderstood" and "flat-out insensitive." He expressed sorrow for the suffering of the people of Gaza, especially the children, and said their suffering "is not a punch line." He stated he is praying and working for an immediate end to the war and peace for all families affected by it. He emphasized that babies are dying every day in Gaza and nobody should make light of that fact.
