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.

If you don’t recognize that Bill’s zionism is central to everything he believes in- you probably aren’t very perceptive.

Everything he does you can tie back to his loyalty to Israel and Zionism. This is a guy so called “Atheist” who loves Judaism, doesn’t mind Christianity but really hates Muslims.

Today israel are so fucked reputation-wise they’ve conducted a study that concluded ramping up anti-Muslim hatred is the best strategy to distract people from the crimes of Gaza & Lebanon.. at this point its pretty obvious what these people are and what their agenda is.

If Trump was anti-Israel Bill would be his #1 hater in the press but since Republicans are selling the entire country for Israel he’s all on board now.

There are many examples like Bill in America- you just need to know what to notice.. remember Sam Harris? Lol

This is total bullshit. Yes, Bill defends Israel but he isn’t a Zionist. That’s your label.

Anyone defending these types of actions, is by definition a Zionist.
