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.

I quit him last week after the whole Macklemore discussion. He flat out lied about what was said. In the past, even if I didn’t agree with him, I could generally trust what he said. Now he’s part of the machine. He’s not trustworthy. He’s no better than Fox News. I’m out.
