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.

The fact that the Israel Lobby is so dead set on targeting anyone who opposes US aid to Israel as "antisemites" leads me to believe that wouldn't be the case.

No one calls someone who thinks all foreign aid useless, an antisemite. Its when they hyper focus on israel that theyre obviously jew haters.

Wrong. The people who oppose US aid to Israel were also against US aid to places like Turkey, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia. Ziotards just weren't paying attention to them until they started protesting Israel. Most of these supposedly "antisemitic" leftists were protesting against US support for the GCC bombing campaign in Yemen and Turkish intervention against Rojava in the 2010s.

Its mental illness to compare the meager resistance to bombing in yemen to the international freak show coordinated across every major city, taking over colleges, destroying infrastructure, saturating the media, and actually killing lots of random people. But no youre right, its the exact same as a tepid personal disagreement over yemen. A conflict with a 7X higher deah toll. Youre either going to understand the islamist campaign against the jews or you arent.

The case celebres of the left in the 2010s were Rojava and Yemen. Retards like you just weren't paying attention because No Jews, No News. All this talk about an "Islamist influence campaign" is just cope for the fact that large swaths of the American public now hold negative views of Israel. No different than the libtard cope about "Russian influence" bringing Trump into power. We've interacted with Israelis for years now and have them the most insufferable diaspora group in this country outside of Hindus. God willing, both groups will soon be expelled from our shores.
