Bill Maher, a self-proclaimed lifelong liberal and host of HBO's "Real Time," has urged celebrities to educate themselves on history after they began accusing Israel of genocide. Maher stated that Gaza was returned as a gesture of peace by Israel and characterized Hamas as a "terrorist mafia gang" that exploited the Strip solely to attack Israel.
Addressing the accusations directly, Maher told an unnamed individual, "You know nothing. This is not genocide, this is a counterattack in a war." He further elaborated that the claim "Gaza is worth genocide" is a falsehood that is easily disproven. Maher's remarks, particularly his assertion that Jews are the indigenous people of the land, comparing them to "the Indians in this story," were met with sustained applause from his studio audience.
Maher questioned the justifications of others when even an American liberal is vocalizing these points, implying a broader responsibility to understand the context of the conflict.
