Bill Maher, like Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, will be remembered in the same way as the Hutu radio announcers who fanned the flames of the Rwandan genocide. Somebody should point out that the spurious claims of mass rape were debunked in the Hebrew press in Israel, and it was the hard work of Electronic Intifada, Grayzone and Mondoweiss which dug this up for the benefit of western audiences. The willingness of Mahr to accept and promote these stories shows his own deep seated racism and hatred of Arabs.

You're correct, the rape stories were debunked by "Israeli" media too. I could add that to the essay.

I don't "love" PBS lmao, don't even like them. And I know that article and it confirms what I say both in the essay (which you clearly didn't read since this article is linked in it) and in the above comment. The "rape" stories were debunked and the UN relied on those to say reasonable grounds of SA. They didn't say definitive evidence, they said "reasonable grounds" based on the debunked testimonies.

My turn now. Can you explain this? https://www.timesofisrael.com/displaced-women-children-endure-sexual-violence-inside-evacuee-hotels/ or this too? https://www.cbsnews.com/news/how-jewish-american-pedophiles-hide-from-justice-in-israel/

I used to really enjoy Bill Maher and even went to see him live 2 times when he came to town. I now refuse to watch his idiotic pro-Israel propaganda spewing show. I did not see this attack therefore on Chapelle Roan but I recall hearing about it. I cannot stomach actually seeing it- how is this hateful rant supposed to be funny? I represent the 25% you referred to of former viewers who he has lost. It’s time this frustrated man retired.

Thanks for sharing your experience and for reading! I listened to an episode or two of the "I hate Bill Maher" podcast that someone else shared with me, and they look at his earliest episodes. He's always been weird like this, we just weren't mature enough to see it back then 😵‍💫

We've grown, but he hasn't. He's 68! His juniors shouldn't have to point this out to him. If anything his rant has brought more people together against him than in support of him; other readers have pointed out all sorts of weird stuff he's done like showing up drunk on a live show where he was going to be talking to 9 year olds?

I hope I never lose a war then so that I never have to see Bill Maher make a segment about it 🙏

What does that even mean 🤣 do you want to try again?
