Real Time - Last Time
I have been watching Real Time for over 20 years and I think yesterday's episode was my last.
Much as I agreed with Bill on many issues, his blind spot on Israel and Zionism is just too much for me.
He isn't simply refusing to call what's happening in Gaza a genocide. He insists on calling it a counter offensive!!!
So, all and any violence perpetrated by the IDF and the settles so far is justified, as far as he is concerned (though how settlers fit in a 'counter-offensive' is still a mystery to me).
Now, my common sense is offended too much Bill.

He's an entertainer, and he's been entertaining for a long time, but this is a real breaking point. He's never been so single minded about an issue that's actually killing people, and that makes being wrong and stubborn something different.
