Bill Maher pummels leftwing antisemitism amid Israel-Hamas war: ‘You’re the ones with the tiki torches now!’
“Real Time” host Bill Maher expressed how he was floored by the amount of antisemitism that has erupted in the US since war broke out between Israel and Hamas.
“What do you make of this level of just gut-wrenching antisemitism?” Maher asked during a panel discussion on Friday. “I must admit, I don’t think of myself as a naive person [but] I’ve been surprised. It was like a volcano that blew. I mean, just the people in the United States who [are like] ‘F— Israel!’ You know, the ‘Any means necessary!’ I just, I don’t know where this comes from. I guess it’s ancient. Obviously, the hatred of the Jews goes way back. But I was taken aback by this.”
“You can’t tell me you don’t think social media has made it much worse,” political scientist Ian Bremmer interjected.
“So you think that’s the answer?” Maher replied. “Because it’s got to be something about the Jews themselves because there were other people around the world are oppressed. There are other ‘colonized’ places, not that Israel ‘colonized’ anything, but why this one’s nice. Why does this arouse, especially among young people?”
