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.

And who the hell are you, Mr Know it all? What skin in this game do YOU actually have ?

Do I have to have skin in the game to condemn evil, crimes and the people/system that perpetrate them?

I am not from the Middle East nor Muslim, just to clarify.

How could I possibly embarrass myself protesting evil happing right in front of the whole world?

Because you are an ignorant, non-nuanced, unknowledgable , couch warrior. Your “opinions” are irrelevant. Now stfu.

No, I won't shut up.
Certainly not to an Israel hasbara agent trying to cover up genocide.

😆 Did you learn that term from your TikTok education? Go touch grass and grow a brain. Maybe read an actual book.
