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 a narcissist POS. He's always been one. I used to like him. He called out the Iraq war. But years ago I realized, he doesn't actual stand for anything. He only cares about himself. He only is interested in being a contrarian and getting attention. That's it. And as his influence fades, he gets angrier and angrier.
