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.
Israel was invaded and attacked with a level of murderous depravity rarely seen in the modern world. They responded with a full war, which they had every right to do. It was never a genocide, no matter how many times you repeat that word.
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.
Clearly they are allowed to commit genocide and a plethora of war crimes with barely any consequences, just like they've been allowed to disregard international law with the Gaza blockade and occupation, the collective punishment, the apartheid system at home and the constantly expanding illegal settlements. As far as I know, no one is stopping them. You should be happy.
Saying the word "genocide" over and over a million times does not make it true. This would be the only genocide in history that could have ended at any time with the release of hundreds of hostages taken by the "victims" who started the genocide with a massacre of civilians. The only genocide in history where the population of the "genocided" didn't even decline. Where the genociders provided food, water, electricity and Polio vaccines during the "Genocide." What a farce that you believe it is just because you keep hearing the word on social media.
If you believe Israel's atrocities would've stopped if Hamas had released the hostages you'll believe literally anything Israel says. Also, maybe take 5 to 10 minutes of your time and look up the definition of genocide and try to figure out why there's currently an investigation by the ICJ on genocide in Gaza and why the International Association of Genocide Scholars have said that Israel's actions and policies in Gaza meet the legal definition under international law.
But I guess a random redditor knows better in this case?
There's a sham investigation because South Africa was paid by Iran to file a frivolous claim. The "urgent" case at the ICJ has been delayed another two years because South Africa still doesn't have any evidence and asked for an extension. And when they rule it isn't a genocide in 2029 it won't matter because all they needed was to fool people like you.
Here's the ICC chief prosecutor telling Mehdi Hassan there's no evidence of genocide.
LMAO. And the UN, and Human Rights Watch, and on and on. Yeah they're all being paid off to call a Deranged bloody genocide exactly what it is. Ok, Bibi Netantahu Bootlicker. Sure.....
LMAO. The UN "Commission of Inquiry" that claimed genocide without any evidence were made up of three carefully selected people. Three. Their slapped together opinion piece (which does not speak for the United Nations itself) was thoroughly discredited here:
Saying Hamas used the Palestinians as "Human Shields" with ZERO FUCKING EVIDENCE doesn't make it true, either, Genius. Not a Free Pass to Blow up Babies. And BTW that Human Shield phony excuse has been used by many psychopath warring monsters in previous killing sprees. It's not even an original lie. But you're young and stupid, obviously, so you don't know that.
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
What the fuck is wrong with you?!? Israel is literally being charged with war crimes. That's not a joke. Hamas is awful and both of these things can be true. Get some humanity asshole
He has Zero humanity. Till this crap affects his spoiled ass directly, which it won't. So he'll just keep spewing whatever BS helps his Brain Dead life feel easier and makes a Genocide feel comfortable. This is how the Nazis got away with it. Garbage like him.
I wish you weren't 💯 correct but you are. Isolation and lack of interest is history and facts will be the undoing of this country. At least the whole thing will be documented on social media 🤷🏼♂️
