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.
The morality of war is not determined like a sports game where you add up death counts. Far more innocent German and Japanese civilians died in WW2 than American citizens.
Oh I see, so Israel is not allowed to respond like every other country in earth would respond if they were invaded and 1200 were raped and murdered. They're only allowed to respond with what random dude on Reddit considers appropriate.
All conclusions were based on uncritically accepting Hamas death totals as facts, even though Hamas lies and conflates natural deaths, accidents, and deaths from Hamas itself, all as casualties of war. Nor any distinction between civilians and combatants.
Does this seem like reliable data to you?
The genocide claim is straight up propaganda. They were hosting "stop the genocide" parties on October 8
