HBO host Bill Maher pointed out more leftist hypocrisy on his show Real Time.
Social justice warriors want to give American Indians back the American land.
They call non-Indians “colonizers.”
They’ve started applying “colonizers” to Jews in Israel. But are they correct?
Of course not. Maher knows it, too:
MAHER: A Berkeley professor said ‘Understanding that Hamas and Hezbollah as social movements that are progressive, that are on the left is extremely important.’ They are ‘social movements that are progressive that are on the left.’ So for those of you who like to ‘Bill, you make fun of the left more than you used to,’ yeah – because this is how you define it! That’s why. Because you think this is the left? Your moral compass is broken! …Again, students. The idea that these are the young people who should be truly on the left instead of where they are with this. And I don’t think it’s because they are anti-Semitic, although that is — I agree. I think it is they want to be social justice warriors. It’s not about the issue, it’s about them. They want to be warriors.There’s a big conflation with African American rights and Palestinian rights as if they’re anything like the same.JAMES KIRCHICK, TABLET MAGAZINE: That is so insulting to Black people because Black people in this country suffered immense injustice far worse, I would say, than anything that he Palestinians have suffered at the hands of the Israelis. And how did Black people respond to that? They didn’t go around beheading babies, and raping women in mass numbers, and slaughtering people. They launched the non-violent civil rights movement that was the most successful in human history. One more thing. If there was a Palestinian Martin Luther King, this conflict would have been over decades ago. It would have been over decades ago.MAHER: And he would have gotten shot…History and language matter and there are a lot of words that get thrown around. Again, I think because these kids don’t know anything. They learn it from Instagram. They are indoctrinated in these colleges. It’s true. These elite colleges put out a bunch of America-hating ahistorical hysterics…They never did this. They never took the side of the mass murderers right after it happened, okay? It would be as if after the Mi Lai massacre they went like, ‘Oh, well, good, Lt. Calley, we love him.’Colonizers. Okay, this is, again, this has become like in the media we just call the Israelis colonizers. It’s not a colonizing, okay. Colonizing is when one country had nothing to do with another country, like the British or the Dutch in South Africa, marched in with an army and took over a place they had no connection to. Israel has quite a connection to Israel…If you did a land acknowledgment like we do in this country. I’m standing on the ground that 3,000 years ago was King David’s capital of Jerusalem… And if that land acknowledgment means like we honor who originally had the land, why does this work for Indians but not Jews?
