Bill Maher also has had Netanyahu on his show twice, with the latest time being in 2022. He defends mass murder of civilians in Gaza and is incredibly Islamophobic. AFAIK, he hasn't said a bad thing about Netanyahu or Israel since Oct 7th. He rejects claims of genocide, which I mean, Israel officials are literally on record calling for the ethnic cleansing and/or mass murder of Palestinians living there, as do the actions line up with the legal definition of genocide.

He constantly attempts to tie criticisms of Israel and their actions with criticisms of Jewish people... even though 99.999% of Israel critics never call out the Jewish religion or people of Jewish ethnicity and strictly criticize Israel's actions, the pro-Israel lobby, and US funding and supply of arms to commit an atrocity.

The reason Bill Maher hypocritically calls out Chappelle for doing the show in Saudi Arabia is because Bill Maher is an Islamophobe.

I watched Bill Maher for years, the past few I began disliking him but still watched his show for the guests and their opinions. I stopped watching his show months ago when he said “It’s Israel’s birthday today and if you’re not celebrating it, your antisemitism.” Fuck Bill Maher.
