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.
