Bill Maher Slams the Mainstreaming of Antisemitism and Israel Hatred
“Israel was founded on the idea that antisemitism made a Jewish state [necessary] because Jews would never be safe without one. Can you honestly listen to this rhetoric and not see why that turned out to be true?”
Bill Maher delivered a fiery and stern monologue during his show on Friday night, aimed squarely at figures on the left and the right who are now openly fomenting antisemitism, calling out people like Candace Owens and Hasan Piker by name.
He also makes a point about the ignorance surrounding Israel, particularly with regard to young people who have no idea of the history involved or Israel’s cultural impact on the Middle East.
Overall, it’s one of Maher’s better monologues. If you watch the whole thing below, you’ll notice that his liberal audience gets remarkably quiet at certain points.
FOX News has some details:
HBO host Bill Maher blasted Democrats Friday, saying liberals have failed to condemn antisemitism, calling out a seething swath of hatred as Israel celebrated its 78th birthday.
“There is a frothing anxiousness for the literal extermination of this one group [Jews] and, Democrats, where are you?” Maher said in his “Real Time” rebuke.
“If any other minority group was being talked about this way, you’d break out the kente cloth and have ten benefit concerts, but because you see that so many of your brainwashed-by-TikTok constituents now have an unfavorable view of Israel, you indulge them when you should be correcting them.” he added.
“You don’t tell your woke idiots that Israel isn’t a colonizer or an apartheid state or committing genocide and that, if you brats had to spend a week anywhere in the Middle East other than Israel, you would understand what liberalism is not.”
Maher offered a warning to the left, “Let me just say this to all who ask me, ‘Why are you harder on the Democrats than you used to be,’ until you fix this whole issue, stop asking me.”
During the “Real Time” segment, Maher criticized media figures and aspiring politicians on both the left and right for rhetoric he said fuels hostility toward Israel and Jewish people.
The HBO host observed, “People say the left and the right can’t agree on anything these days. Well, there is this one thing they agree on.” Maher then proceeded to call out both liberal and conservative figures who have indulged in anti-Israel or antisemitic comments.
Other criticisms from U.S. college professors and right-wing voices came into focus as well.
“Israel was founded on the idea that antisemitism made a Jewish state [necessary] because Jews would never be safe without one. Can you honestly listen to this rhetoric and not see why that turned out to be true?” Maher said, reacting to the statements.

Maher may still be a liberal, but he deserves credit when he gets things right. The country needs to hear what he said in that monologue.

Thank you Bill Maher.
First, they came for the gun owners, and I did not speak out, because I was not a gun owner…
Then they came for the public school parents, and I did not speak out, because I was not a public school parent…
Then they came for the Catholics, and I did not speak out because I was not a Catholic…
Then they came for the Jews, and holy s*, you bet I spoke up…
I think you mean private school parents..
I’m talking about the public school parents who were bitching at school board meetings about school wokeness, and being tagged as domestic terrorists.
Ahhh… Now it makes sense.
I am a public high school teacher (social studies for English Language Development students), and my sympathies are squarely with the parents who protested the “woke” domination of our schools.
Maher grew up Catholic, and only found out in his teens that his mother was born Jewish and therefore he is a Jew. I don’t think that affects how he identifies.
Antisemites will attack you for your religion OR your ethnicity.
Literally EVERY public post about Massie or that absolute ghoul Candace Owens has hundreds of morons come out of the woodwork ranting about Israel and AIPAC and JEWISH BILLIONAIRES.
<- non Jewish billionaire but available to assume the role immediately.
My new popcorn popper bowl literally came in just this Friday.
It’s going to be getting a lot of use as the Democrats fracture, splinter, schism, shake, shimmy, shuck, and shout..
Picture or it doesn’t exist,
Love to, but pictures aren’t easy here.
It’s purple collapsible silicone.
Thank you Bill Maher!
Honestly, anyone with any brains would think twice before trying again and again to annihilate Jews. There’s reasons they have survived – smart people would work with them instead of against them.
Today’s Israel was “created” after WWII because of the ethnic genocide by Germans (and others) perpetrated against Jews. However prior to the end of WWII, Israel existed, often with a number of other tribes (originally Canaanites and others) along with future tribes, (Romans, Arabs, etc.). Palestine was the name the ROMANS gave to the land about 2000 years ago and where Israelis lived for at least 3000+ years (to current time).
Actually the term Palestine comes from the Greek usage – Herodotus writing about the Israeli region and the people dwelling therein. There’s also an argument that the origin of the term is the Greek for wrestler (palaistēs) from the account (myth in the Greek view) of Jacob, later called Israel, wrestling with God.
The more dominant view is that Palestine originated from a term for invaders – Egyptian Peleset → Hebrew Pelishtīm, and subsequent invaders kept this appropriation – the Roman Empire using Palaestina → the Arab conquerors using Filastīn. Thus when Arabs call themselves Palestinians they are literally identifying as invaders! 🤣
obama has won as
america has in fact been fundamentally changed and the mamdummi etc roll is proof
The extraordinary racism and hostility that White Americans experience turns into something even uglier for Jews. The Democrats sound like genocidal maniacs.
