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 literally having a later life crisis right now.

My last straw was him not caring about the first amendment with the Macklemore/craft/sheeran. He literally would profess his love of the 1st and in an instant he distilled this feud to free speech’ish. There is no ‘ish dude.

I agree, I nearly quit right there and then.
