Last Week Tonight just decided to handle the Gaza crisis in a first segment so it will never be published on youtube

04. August 2025

BRAVO. BRAVO. HBO was so hap­py about that, I’m sure…

edit: Kind of relie­ved, kind of even more annoy­ed - they publis­hed it - but with a very restric­ti­ve regi­onlock, so that no one that speaks english…

edit2: I take the relie­ved back. The S**E** naming sche­me and the length of the lin­ked you­tube video indi­ca­tes, that this is a spe­cial release of the ent­i­re epi­so­de for the mar­kets the HBO cor­po­ra­ti­on has no com­mer­cial inte­rest in, but still wants to address becau­se of the good will of their heart, or for poli­ti­cal rea­sons. We in the west never get full epi­so­des on you­tube. Rus­si­ans (f.e.) do. We always only get Seg­ment 2 of the show (the main segment).

(Red coun­try means you­tube video of the full epi­so­de blocked.)

Also we need a new jour­na­listic cate­go­ry cal­led “stuff only a bought out ass­ho­le would publish at this point”.

Yes:

Schock über „leben­de Hun­gerex­pe­ri­men­te“ der Hamas (Die Presse)

Of cour­se:

Deutsch­land macht einen Rie­sen­feh­ler“ – Kie­se­wet­ter atta­ckiert Nahost-Politik [nein, das ist nicht rich­tig, Kie­se­wet­ter atta­ckiert die Luft­brü­cke] der Bun­des­re­gie­rung (Welt)

Sure:

Sie fres­sen, wäh­rend Gei­seln ver­hun­gern“: Exper­te ent­larvt Hunger-Lüge der Hamas (exx­press)

Exact­ly:

Oppo­si­tio­nel­ler in Gaza: «Die Hamas stiehlt den Ein­woh­nern das Essen» (NZZ)

Sicher doch:

Selbst­ver­tei­di­gung oder Geno­zid – was ist es, das Isra­el in Gaza macht?
(Der Standard)

Und am Ende dann noch gegen frin­ge media und Tucker in den USA wet­tern, damit die Bevöl­ke­rung das nicht zu sehen bekommt.

Nicht das Titel­pho­to - die Video­auf­nah­men in dem Interview.

Das ist heut­zu­ta­ge die Auf­ga­be von deutsch­spra­chi­gen Qua­li­täts­me­di­en. Nichts anderes.

Bra­vo.

I hope it at least pays well.

edit: Btw - here is the json out­put direct­ly from the goog­le API, for peop­le that might not belie­ve it:

Lovely. Thats 93 out of 195 coun­tries in the world whe­re this video is blo­cked, they are:

Andor­ra, United Arab Emi­ra­tes, Afgha­ni­stan, Ango­la, Aus­tria, Aus­tra­lia, Bur­ki­na Faso, Bah­rain, Burun­di, Benin, Bots­wa­na, Cana­da, Demo­cra­tic Repu­blic of the Con­go, Cen­tral Afri­can Repu­blic, Repu­blic of the Con­go, Switz­er­land, Cote d’I­voi­re, Camer­oon, Chi­na, Cape Ver­de, Ger­ma­ny, Dji­bou­ti, Alge­ria, Egypt, Wes­tern Saha­ra, Eri­trea, Spain, Ethio­pia, Faroe Islands, Gabon, United King­dom, Gha­na, Gibral­tar, Green­land, Gui­nea, Equa­to­ri­al Gui­nea, Guinea-Bissau, Ire­land, India, Iraq, Ice­land, Ita­ly, Jor­dan, Kenya, Como­ros, Kuwait, Leba­non, Liech­ten­stein, Libe­ria, Leso­tho, Luxem­bourg, Libya, Moroc­co, Mada­gas­car, Mali, Mau­ri­ta­nia, Mal­ta, Mau­ri­ti­us, Mala­wi, Mozam­bi­que, Nami­bia, Niger, Nige­ria, Nether­lands, Nor­way, New Zea­land, Oman, Pales­ti­ne, Por­tu­gal, Qatar, Reuni­on, Rwan­da, Sau­di Ara­bia, Sey­chel­les, Sudan, Saint Hele­na, Sier­ra Leo­ne, San Mari­no, Sene­gal, Soma­lia, South Sudan, Chad, Togo, Tuni­sia, Tan­za­nia, Ugan­da, United Sta­tes, Vati­can City, Yemen, Mayot­te, South Afri­ca, Zam­bia, Zimbabwe;

[Grok que­ried on per­cen­ta­ge of world GDP: Sum­ming the per­cen­ta­ges of the lis­ted coun­tries (exclu­ding negli­gi­ble ones like Wes­tern Saha­ra and Vati­can City for sim­pli­ci­ty), the total is appro­xi­mate­ly 70.67% [when let­ting it wri­te a .js par­ser for the data it sur­fa­ced] of world GDP. This is domi­na­ted by major eco­no­mies like the United Sta­tes (26.39%), Chi­na (17.24%), Ger­ma­ny (4.21%), India (3.61%), and the United King­dom (3.09%). The remai­ning coun­tries, espe­cial­ly smal­ler ones, con­tri­bu­te mini­mal­ly, with many at 0.01% or less.

Clau­de Son­net esti­ma­tes it more con­ser­va­tively at around 65-70%.]
