“Israel never colonized anything.” Too many Palestinians insist that all Jewish people who live in the region are white colonizers when in reality it was a much more complicated situation than that. But Israeli settlements in the West Bank are hard to describe as anything but colonies. This is devastating to Israel’s moral high ground with other colonized people and Netanyahu has just made that problem worse.
ReplyAntisemitism is barbaric and evil. But calling any criticism of the government of Israeli ‘antisemitic’ is despicable. Israel needs to decide whether “basing a nation on a chosen ethnicity or religion while forcing civilian minorities out of their homes and killing them en mass” is good or evil. Because it damn well was when Hitler did it.
ReplyHow can you beg on TV aid for Israel from Terror while simultaneously bad mouthing Venezuelans running from Terror
ReplyIts as simple as this. Pretty much every Muslim in the world hates Israel. College liberals look at Muslims as an oppressed people, even though there are 2 billion of them and only 15 million Jews. Therefore they deem Israel as the oppressors. So they protest on behalf of Muslims and Palestine with the typical Colonialist, Occupier, Apartheid state blah blah blah rhetoric. Its just textbook Marxism mixed with modern Intersectionalism and sprinkled with Antisemitism and Islamic Fundamentalism.
ReplyWhen Jews funded BLM and pushed for CRT to make people hate white people they never imagined they’d be viewed as the new white people.
ReplyThe left has always been what they claim they hate,they’re just putting it out in the open now. I never thought I’d see the day when Democrats,the party that was supposed to be the party of freedom of speech and expression and anti-war would be ok with implementing blasphemy laws and championing/funding two conflicts that could end up spilling out and engulfing the entire planet in war.
ReplyBill’s usually good at seeing both sides of things and criticizing both sides, but with Israel he has a blind spot because it’s personal to him. Hamas is terrible and their actions cannot be justified. Israel has done things to increase the tensions and done things to lose support from the world. So I’m not convinced it’s antisemitism, at least not all of it. Experts and general public don’t like Israel’s illegal annexations and the bad treatment of the Palestinian people. And this behavior has grown worse over time. The power differential is part of the story because that power differential has been and is currently being used by Israel. Bill needs to realize he can’t be rational on this issue.
ReplyJews are pretty safe in the United States.
ReplyIt’s ironic that Bill is talking like the very people he criticizes. Just because people criticize Israel doesn’t mean they are antisemitic. Israel has done a lot to deserve criticism.
ReplyIt’s the Professors !
ReplyIsrael is antisemitic
ReplyWow two smart people ignore the elephant in the room, how about occupation of 4 million palestinians, who got kicked out of their homes,and oppressed on a daily basis, and just in the last two week, over 8,000 civilians half of them children got wiped out, by air strikes, if you pretend you’re blind, people are not and they can see for themselves, i used to respect bill maher, but hes becoming heartless, ignores the atrocities committed by Israel, just because you’re jewish you cant ignore what israel is doing as a matter of fact, there’s thousands of jews against the occupation and oppression and killing of palestinians, dont forget Netanyahu helped create Hamas and supported them just to divide palestinians and cut off their chances of being free on their own land, …you can’t handle the truth bill.
ReplyProbably the single weirdest thing in this weird world we live in is how people who are ultra-progressive, extremely liberal, leftist and woke, are at the same time in love with Islam, by far the most conservative, patriarchal, right wing, retrograde religion ever.
Replyantisemitism is so on the rise, A 6-year-old Palestinian-American was stabbed 26 times for being Muslim
ReplyThe antisemitism is primarily coming from the left
ReplyAny criticism of Israel is considered a death threat for Some reason
Replythis isn’t ancient… 99% of these people had no opinion on Israel until they saw them dropping bombs on Gaza in the last few weeks
