Liberal comedian Bill Maher tore into woke leftists this week over their
disdain for Israel, saying that Israel stands for everything that they are
supposed to represent.
Maher made the remarks on Friday during his “new rule” segment on his HBO
show “Real Time” while talking about the political Left’s anger toward Israel
after Palestinian Islamic terrorists with Hamas murdered more than 1,400
Israelis last month.
“For all the progressives and academics who refer to Israel as an outpost of
Western civilization like it’s a bad thing,” he began. “Please note, Western
civilization is what gave the world pretty much every g****mn liberal precept
that liberals are supposed to adore.”
“Individual liberties, scientific inquiry, rule of law, religious freedom,
women’s rights, human rights, democracy, trial by jury, freedom of speech —
please somebody stop us before we enlighten again,” he continued. “And since
one can find all these concepts in today’s Israel and virtually nowhere else
in the Middle East, if anything, the world would be a better place if it had
more Israels.”
Maher mocked how leftists have been indoctrinated into reducing their world
view into everything being about “victims or victimizers.”
“So Israel is lumped in as the toxic fruit of the victimizing West,” he said.
“The irony being that all marginalized people live better today because of
Western ideals, not in spite of them.”
“Yes, that’s how simple the woke are. It’s never about ideas,” he continued.
“If it was, would they be cheering on Hamas for their liberation? Liberation
to do what? More freely preside over a [territory] where there are no laws
against sexual harassment, spousal rape, domestic violence, homophobia, honor
killings, or child marriage? This is who liberals think you should stand
with. Women there should be so lucky as to get colonized by anybody else. And
for the record, the Jews didn’t colonize Israel or anywhere ever except maybe
Boca Raton.”
“Gaza wasn’t seized by Israel like India or Kenya was by the British Empire,”
he said. “And the partitioning of the region wasn’t decided by Jews, but by a
vote of the United Nations in 1947, with everyone from Russia to Haiti voting
for it, but apparently they don’t teach this [in] drag queen story hour
anymore.”
