She fires back after HBO host calls anti-Israeli boycott movement a bogus ‘purity test’.
newser– In the latest episode of his HBO show, Maher called the boycott of Israel supported by Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib a “bull—- purity test for Democrats,” reports the Hill. “It’s predicated on this notion, I think—it’s very shallow thinking—that the Jews in Israel, mostly white, and the Palestinians are browner, so they must be innocent and correct, and the Jews must be wrong. As if the occupation came right out of the blue, that this completely peaceful people found themselves occupied,” he said. Tlaib, who represents Michigan, already has shot back.
“Maybe folks should boycott his show,” she tweeted. “I am tired of folks discrediting a form of speech that is centered on equality and freedom. This is exactly how they tried to discredit & stop the boycott to stand up against the apartheid in S. Africa. It didn’t work then and it won’t now.” Israel’s argument is that supporters of the boycott are in effect supporting the destruction of the Israeli state and therefore they have the right to bar them.
Bill Maher is still a dick-nosed fool.
Wow, the first and only time I will ever agree with her. Maher is an insufferable douche.
*Munches popcorn*
I will thoroughly enjoy watching the left destroy Maher even though I fully agree with him on this point.
The left won’t touch Maher and Tlaib will be warned off. He’s way more important to the movement than she is. He steps off the reservation from time to time in order to establish his “credibility” as an even-handed commentator.
Maher is often right. Of course he is usually wrong – and is currently hoping for a recession (which won’t bother him because he is wealthy) so Trump doesn’t get re-elected. And he usually refers to those who don’t agree with him as idiots. In this case, in particular I appreciated his calling out the numbers of Jews in other Middle East countries.
The reality is that most Palestinians are suffering – under Hamas, which has eliminated elections and takes all the supposed charitable funds to instead further aggression. They are essentially Al Sharpton on steroids. But that never gets mentioned, nor the reasons why Israel occupies the West Bank and Gaza, nor the truth about homes they are bulldozing (illegally built in a dangerous area).
Maher is, without a doubt, an insufferable douche, but this time he’s right.
The simplest explanation here is they both need to be severely beaten with Occam’s Rubber Spatula…
Yeah, I’m willing to bet that this twat fungus wasn’t even alive during the Apartheid Movement and has no clue as to how it was or was not supported.
Oooh! Libs are fighting!!! *slides into room, flops on couch*.
Grandma looks and sounds an awful lot like John Brennan in drag.
I think we should shun her. Do not read, listen or watch anything,if she is present.
They’re both rancid meat bags of feckless bilge.
I feel better now.
Happy Sunday! 😎
Tlaib is a malignant narcissist. So is her mother (no suprise – she raised her.) So is meagan markle (poor harry).
Malignant narcs vary in their degree of destruction. This ape is a real bad one.
Bucketmouth Tlaib will be gone very soon, as the cretins in Michigan who voted for her in 2018 can’t possibly be stupid enough to give her a second term….can they?
Oh, and even though Maher is a douche, he is right on this one.
