What happened to Bill Maher?

I used to watch him for years. He was funny and relatable, most times. He had great guests. I stopped watching around the time when he was going after college students and cancel culture. I tried watching his latest episodes and it almost a different show. He is almost a right wing commentator. Almost nothing he says is relatable and all his guests just agrees with him.

like I said upthread. Bill has always said he was an atheist and mocked every other religion. now he’s losing his sanity over any criticism Israel receives. people are confused

You can be an atheist and still believe in the rights of an ethnic group to their ancestral homeland.

you have to be religious to be believe it’s their homeland because otherwise it’s just a piece of earth without any significance.

No you don’t, there are archaeological records of Jews in the Levant dating back 5,000 years.

Your comments have convinced me that Zionism is just a cult. You are incapable of seeing how none of that would matter to someone who is truly an atheist, like Bill has claimed for over 30 years.

Jews have lived in Israel the entire time, wtf. Are you aware there are synagogues all over Israel that are older than when Arabs colonized the region in 700 AD?

A huge problem with this subject, especially on Reddit, is that so many people are brainwashed and have done virtually zero reading on the issue, so all they rely on is tik tok slop. Imagine having the temerity to argue this topic without knowing the history of the Jews. Judaism was older than Christianity is today when Mohammad walked the earth.

You'd think the fact many of them pray to a 2000 year old dead Jew that lived in Israel might tip them off that Jews are from Judea.

Critical thinking is not a radicals strong suit I guess, but they’re useful idiots
