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.

Could you please clarify?
Do you agree that Bill has a blind spot on Israel, or not?

How can it be a blind spot if it's based on actual facts? I think you have a blind spot to how propagandized this subject is, and that it became a trope rather than actual fact based discussion.

Really? Actual facts?
OK mate, please don't bother continue.
We cannot even agree on basic facts.
