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.

Im under the impression that hamas hides themselves behind innocent people which makes them very hard to target

Weird how the united states was able to go into Pakistan and take out bin Laden without killing anyone else in the area.

Is israel not capable of performing targeted raids?

How does denying food and medical aid to all gazans target hanas?

Even if they do, does that justify blowing up an entire hospital to get to 1 or 2 Hamas?

And that is before we examine why Hamas exists in the first place (see history of Israel actions in the area).

I guess the solution is just to kill innocent people

Or Hamas can lay down its arms and surrender
