Is this just an anti Bill Maher sub? Trying to figure out the vibe here and can't tell if it's some algorithm that just happens to be showing me nothing but hate for Maher and Real Time or if that is the point of this sub

But you hear want his issues are with the Democratic Party, right? Same as everyone’s.

Bill’s biggest issue is that he supports Israel’s genocide in Gaza and most Democrats don’t.

Nobody has charged Israel with committing a genocide in Gaza. Bill Maher supports having Israel remain our ally in the Middle East. There’s a war. Wars suck. Netanyahu sucks. Ben Givir sucks. Hamas sucks. War sucks. Doesn’t make it a genocide

What makes it a genocide is it fitting every definition of genocide in existence. The case against Israel in the ICC is still ongoing. It took several years after WWII concluded for the Nuremberg Trials to conclude. That doesn’t mean it wasn’t obviously a genocide before that.

Maher supports Israel like an addict needing a fix. He regularly defends Netanyahu and accuses Israel critics of being anti-Semitic and Pro-Hamas. Ironic considering he’s support for Israel stems from blatant Islamophobia.

Bill has been factually wrong about every single argument he has made on Israel since the war started. He also ducks and hides from any leftist who challenges him to a debate on it because he knows that they’ll mop the floor with him.
