Maher's monologue is so full of illogic and factual inaccuracies it's hard to list them all. He conflates antisemitism with criticism of Israel and Zionism, even substituting the words for each other when allegedly quoting someone. He claims Randy Fine has never called for nuking or killing Palestinians, which is a blatant lie or at best very sloppy, since Fine has done precisely those things.
And the claim it's antisemitic to focus on Israel is such a tired one. We don't fund and provide diplomatic cover for the atrocities of any other country the way that we do for Israel. We aren't violating the First Amendment for the Sudanese government, nor are we banning the Taiwanese from this country. North Korea isn't buying an election in Kentucky.
Americans single out Israel for criticism because (1) its crimes are horrific and have been going on for 80 years; (2) as Americans, we can potentially influence our government's policy of supporting Israel; and (3) no other country exercises this kind of influence over our laws, policies, and politics.
It's not that complicated.
@Olivia_Reingold Nothing screams sticking it to legacy media like a billboard put up by Paramount, a 100+ year old media company on a building they own advertising a business that they bought to curry favor with the president of the United States
The Fourth Amendment prohibits the government from spying on Americans without a warrant.
When the government pays someone to do this spying on behalf of the government, then that’s no less a violation of the Fourth Amendment.
What a lying sack of shit. The first Trump admin ripped up a nuclear deal that was working. The Iranians had offered extraordinary concessions in the latest round of negotiations before we used the ruse of diplomacy to attack their country and murder their leader. And btw that leader was the guy who had issued a religious decree AGAINST nuclear weapons. The truth is Iran is FAR MORE likely to pursue nukes now because of the actions of Trump, Hegseth and this entire band of war criminals.

"So why do so many people who proudly express their misogynistic, racist, and violent views feel comfortable within certain segments of Christianity? Probably because the God of the Hebrew Bible often reinforces such views."

We don’t have a masculinity crisis in America, we have a fatherhood crisis.

Our "Secretary of War" says the US will give "no quarter" to its enemies, meaning it will execute prisoners of war. This is exactly why I raised the issue of ignoring unethical orders. The legality of such an order is irrelevant to its morality.
