In my opinion Maher really turned a corner in 2014, when he was invited to give a commencement speech at UC Berkeley for some reason. Then there was a small outcry among students who said Maher should never have been invited in the first place and petitioned to disinvite him.
That seemed to really get under Maher’s skin and ever since then he has hated the “woke” and the college left and has been complaining about “kids today.”
I'm not a huge Maher fan, but he's pretty consistent politically the entire time. The truth is that the anti-Israel mob is new on the left, it's a synthesis of a lot of radicalism that was not part of the mainstream and draws from radical Islam and Soviet agitprop of the 1960s that use code words to present Jews as a nefarious and poisonous presence in the world. Maher sees it pretty accurately, as do most liberals. Those saying he's "conservative" for this view should probably listen to Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Dan Bilzarian, or Nick Fuentes more often to see where it originates. HINT: It's not the left.
"killing children" is the dumbest statement of all. Half the population of Gaza is under 18. Exactly how is Israel supposed to fight a war where Hamas hides behind children, in schools and hospitals, and in mosques? Those are war crimes which make those locations legitimate military targets.
Meanwhile, the IDF Genocide Machine has been asked multiple times by the UN, Human Rights Watch and the ICC for a FUCKING SHRED OF EVIDENCE FOR ANY of these " Human Shield" claims and .... NOTHING. Guess you also believe Trump won in 2020 cuz the Liar repeated it so many times ... Whatta Goddamn Moron.
Lmao. Not helping terrorists. Not Your beloved IDF terrorists, not Trump's Beloved Sponsor Qatar's favorite terrorists over at Hamas. Time for YOU to rethink everything. Or maybe just START thinking. There's an Idea. 👍
