I recall the differences between Fidel and Mao--the Iran-Contra affair, Rhett big deal Clinton had to impose the Justice Department on South Florida, the black hawk down, the Ayatolla, ect...We had it in the 70's, too. Only Vietnam saved America, by giving us great patriots, too, at the time.
He has a point about protest in general... just stay on the side of the road and ask for people to beep their horn if they agree. Blocking traffic just pisses people off.
Yeah that would be much more effective. Or at the very least, not counterproductive. Like personally, I'm against Maher in that he is conflating "stop bombing civilians" with "we support islamic fundamentalism." which is a bit of a ridiculous jump. But he's right about one thing. If you block traffic, people will try to find out whatever cause you are supporting and will associate it with blocked traffic. If anything, they'll oppose it out of spite.

This was just published in the The Times of London. The war in Sudan…erupted last April and has created the world’s biggest humanitarian disaster, uprooting 8.5 million people and leaving 25 million needing humanitarian help. Experts say that famine will break out in the coming weeks, which could kill 500,000 to one million people. Anyone interested? No, I thought not.
I am interested. Also, it is different. For one, more people have died in less time in Gaza, even though both sides don't have strong armies, not that that matters but it is just an observation, it is a civil war in Sudan, and also, Israel is funded by the United States. Also, you have the fact that Israel is attacking a country that has signed up to the international criminal court's laws of war, and Israel may be breaking those laws, it is a sovereign nation using force on another ethic group of people. It isn't a civil war. Also, Israel have made genocidal statements in the press and in meetings, government members have spoken that way, and United States directly gives aid to that government, and most of the public until recently supported Israel. Syria and Sudan are internal matters, equally as terrible or more terrible, but it is not the same thing. No nation can step in and really police it unless everyone agreed because factions are fighting within those countries borders. Even though for example the United States has backed rebel factions in Syria for example, with no long term plan. It isn't really like for like at all. That is like saying because terrible things happen all over the world all the time, we should care about nothing, it is whataboutism.

@@justinwijaya719 That has happened many times in the UK. There's footage out there from a road blocking protest in the UK from maybe a year or two ago. Police are there doing nothing. An ambulance was in the queue of cars being blocked and the police were asking the protestors if they would mind moving to let the ambulance through. Another instance, a women having a stroke in an ambulance stuck in 'traffic.'
Kinda, but not really. Fascists and Communists are both left wing socialists (and both use the same tools). Both want everything decided at the national or international level. American conservatives on the other hand (a minority within the GOP), want to follow the Constitution, have a SMALL federal government, decide things like Education at the local (or at most the State) level. This is why Trump leans right, but is not a conservative. He originally called for a federal ban on abortion. Again, deciding things at the Federal level. The Conservatives on the Supreme Court could have ruled for that but didn't. Instead they returned it to the State level. That's totally in keeping with "life and death" questions belong at the lowest possible level of government, closest to the people. My daughter, sister-in-law, and my Mother are all pro-abortion but are strong conservatives (for them the privacy issue is very strong). I oppose abortion, generally speaking, because too many are using it instead of birth control and you're killing human life. But I surely understand my home state voting to allow it. Nazis are not right wing. The very name has Socialist within it. Hitler was "running out of other people's money" (to quote Margaret Thatcher) when he invaded Poland and immediately transferred Polish gold and credit to Germany, and gave them as much of his debt as he could transfer. Hitler had free medical, schools, etc. the standard socialist model. He used the same tactics of secret police, no warrant arrests, etc. that would fit right in with either Communist China or the former Soviet Union. He also controlled the news media, just like the DNC does in America. Our schools are not balanced in explaining the differences, neither are any of the main stream media.

@@josephpurdy4664 I would like to set the record straight by stating that I like Bill Maher, even when I disagree with him. That said, surely you must agree that the man exudes a high level of hubris. It may be justified; Maher is an intelligent individual. Nevertheless, justification for hubris or narcissism does not absolve a person of the character trait. I stand by my statement that it reveals a certain level of narcissism (if not to a clinical level) to tell an audience to respond with applause before proceeding. It is tantamount to directing the audience to express agreement with his statements. You attribute the audience reluctance to fear. What do they have to fear? If the audience agreed with Maher's statement, he has created a safe space for them to respond spontaneously. His audience responded spontaneously on a number of other points. The audience reluctance more probably stems from the realization that Maher was making some controversial statements, and some members of the audience were either conflicted about supporting his views or disagreed with them. Even if the audience whole-heartedly agreed with Maher's statements, it shows a significant level of self-focus and self-confidence to be so certain of your position on a controversial subject to assume that your audience shares your views so thoroughly that they only need "permission" to express that agreement with applause. I would argue that the type of person who enjoys watching Bill Maher is a thinking individual. So it follows that the audience members might arrive at differing opinions about the protestors of the Israel-Palestinian conflict. Therefore, it is a bit narcissistic of Maher to assume that everyone in the audience thinks as he does on the issue.
Because that is his job! There is no pretense about it. ... and you have a choice to tune into the show or not... as well as watch this clip. I don't agree with everything he says. However, it seems that you came here to troll his video. So, that makes you a troll.
Not by going for the populace, you force them to come at you. You take over the city hall, chain yourself to the gates of the white house. Embarrass and shame the power structure by forcing them to deal with you. Make them send the police to drag you away, not the couple 1000 stuck in traffic demanding the powerful deal with you. These aren't even protests, there stunts, meant to draw attention. If a cause is well known, you don't need to draw attention to it.
This is what happens when you start labeling the average person evil. People today forget that in order to change something you need a majority vote, and thus to win something, you have to convince that majority. Not drive them away.
Aristotle defended the “passionate, hot-tempered” and impulsive views and voices of youth. “They are high-minded, for they have not yet been humbled by life nor have they experienced the force of necessity; further, there is high-mindedness in thinking oneself worthy of great things, a feeling which belongs to one who is full of hope,” wrote Aristotle in his book, “Rhetoric.”

Something about 1,400+ Israelis were killed and many more were injured, including women, infants, and the infirm. Then along came this ridiculous hostile demand that Israel ought not to retaliate, thereby allowing Hamas to regroup and have another go. When Hamas calls for the complete extermination of the Israeli people, believe them. Now Hamas sympathizers want a ceasefire. WTF?! That's rich. Hey, Hamas, that's not the way it works. You don't get to use children as human shields, build tunnels under hospitals, and divert humanitarian aid to build missiles that you lob unabated into Israel on nearly a daily basis. C'mon, now, did Hamas really expect that the IDF wouldn't defend Israel with all its might? Seriously? Seriously?! How utterly stupid and immoral can Hamas be?!

I'm an Israeli living in London. A couple of years ago I volunteered in a mentoring programme with refugees. I met Tigrayans fleeing the war in Ethiopia. Every time we meet I hear horror stories, and I go check in the news and barely any mentions in the BBC and The Guardian. The civilian death toll on the Tigray side alone was around 500k. They tried to get attention to their cause here in London, to stop the actual genocide of their people. They were protesting, blocking roads. No one joined them, no one cared. I didn't want to say, "you're Africans, no one gives a fuck about you". Ethiopia, like Israel, is an American ally, getting its supplies from the US.
My sister lives in Germany, and tells stories of refugees from African wars. My dad always asks: "What wars?" No one in Europe cares about non-white / non-European conflicts -.- Everyone's just blind.
Wow USA just gave Ethiopia $26 billion 😮 and UK sent battle ships in October last year. That should definitely make the news especially when the UK prime minister comes out and says we got your back go get em.
Blocking traffic is one thing but I don't see how these people don't face felonies for defacing paintings if they're worth a good amount. If I steal a car I'm going to jail, why can you 10x the amount of damage and not go to jail?

I wonder if Bill would feel the same way when Mario Savio said in his speech: "There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart that you can't take part! You can't even passively take part! And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus -- and you've got to make it stop! And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it -- that unless you're free the machine will be prevented from working at all!!" And mind you, part of this was directed at the time at how universities were running their administrations. Bill seems to be taking the side of the universities and the machine. That's NOT the side you want to be on Bill. Don't criticize Democrats of not being willing to play dirty with Republicans when you're making excuses for their own incompetence and justifying their neo-liberal and anti-Progressive policies. Bill seems to forget how his own generation had protested the Vietnam War. Hell, he probably forgot how people were protesting the Iraq War and his own attitude towards it at the time. I guess when you get rich enough and old enough, you become a conservative yourself and start thinking like one.

That's what his show has become in recent times. Take this video and others that deal with Gaza, for instance. Maher equates being opposed to the Israeli bombing campaign with support for Hamas. He seems to think that the so-called "woke left" are too obsessed with Israel "committing the terrible crime of defending itself" (i.e. deliberately killings civilians by the tens of thousands) to worry about other human rights abuses in places like North Korea, Afghanistan, Myanmar, etc. He says that Israel doesn't practice Apartheid, and for _Israeli_ Arabs, that's true-but for Palestinian Arabs in the West Bank, not so much.
Well yeah, you could say that about most of the people who turn up for any event. See any street level interview of trump supporter, biden supporters.

More and more, year after year, I celebrate Bill Maher and his gorgeous ability to call out the stupidity and bullshit of people on both sides of the ever-widening political divide. I have been a fan since "Politically Incorrect" and am increasingly more of a fan each passing year. If I ever meet him in person, I might say "God bless you" just to watch his face contort. :) :) And as I've been saying since Stop Oil began blocking roads: All they are doing is making sure that people don't support their cause. If there is a pro-oil charity out there, people would be donating by the millions. It could be a non-profit that funds the rescue of children from human traffickers and all the protests would accomplish is to make people _not want_ to save the children!
That's how Maher speaks since he has become an angry senior citizen .. Maher has gone too far to the right .. or maybe that's were he was heading all along
Yeah, it's wild, you'd forget he was trying to write jokes somewhere in there. But he needs approval so much "he'll wait" 2:00 for the applause. Wasn't this guy supposed to be a comedian or something?
In this age of social media, protests have become more about the protestor getting clout points than bringing about any meaningful change. That's why I largely tune them out.
That’s not what’s happening at these rallies though, people are getting arrested and brutalized and have their faces covered to avoid people doxxxing them
I did Google it. "In 2014 [Uri Ariel] said, 'Between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea there will be only one state, which is Israel.' The phrase has been used by the Israeli Prime Minister, Likud's Benjamin Netanyahu, in speeches. Similar wording has also been used more recently by other Israeli politicians." Much more recently.
There are at least two glaring falsehoods in Bill Maher’s assessment of what Hamas “wants” but “can’t” do, versus what Israel “could” do but “doesn’t.” First, Palestinian children are not Hamas, second, genocide isn’t just something Israel “could” do, it’s exactly what Israel is doing. In lauding Israel’s restraint in not yet having completely annihilated the Palestinians even as the IDF targets doctors and aid workers for assassination while bulldozing Palestinian cemeteries, Mr. Maher demonstrates that he is an idiot, a propagandist, or both. By viewing the earnest, if misguided attempts of those who oppose genocide to have our voices heard in any way we can as being good for a laugh, Bill loses sight of the fact that most of us are not advocating for hugs and kisses for the Islamists so much as we are objecting to our tax money funding their wanton slaughter by fascists. We may not love them, but we don’t hate them enough to want their blood on our hands, as apparently Mr. Maher doesn’t mind saying he does.
There are - and always have been - plenty of Israeli politicians and common people who supported the "peace process", establishment of a Palestinian state to co-exist with Israel. I was one of them until Oct 7th. There are - and always were - exactly ZERO Arabs who said the same, before or after the Oslo process began. Every time - EVERY TIME - we gave up land for peace, we got neither. Every time the Palestinians got control over a territory - in the West Bank, in Gaza, in Jordan or in Lebanon - they used it for one thing, and one thing only, attack Israel. Oct 7th is just the latest episode. I;m quoting your post - "much more recently". I wonder why that is. The fact is after 30+ years of "peace process", of generous peace proposals, of giving land, we have gotten this. A terrorist army invading our territory and commiting the worse mass murder of Jews since the Holocaust. And if we were to leave the West Bank - like we left Gaza - the result would be the same. Quite frankly, we are sick of this shit. The Arabs don;t want their own state - what they want is to destroy ours. So yeah, right now and in the forseeable future we will not allow the establishment of ANOTHER hostile ISIS enclave on our borders. And the Palestinians have no one but themselves to blame.
@@sharongelfand5065 A lot of things should never have happened. We can keep at it, or we can reach an accomodation. Israel tried accomodation - up to and including up to 95% of the West Bank and 100% of Gaza, and removing the settlements. Attempts at accomodation have led to Oct 7th. Re-adjusting.
I almost wanted to cry with gratitude listening to Bill Maher today. Everything he said was so true and I have felt deeply about. Thank you for making so clear what is mostly going on with these protests.
So you're PRO carpet bombing babies with our tax dollars? If you're not upset then you obviously don't know why people are protesting. Being ignorant of current events isn't an excuse. History will not be kind to you.
Protests should never be convenient to the masses, because then they can be ignored. Thank God MLK didn't go along with this train of thought. I'm sure those sit ins and marches across bridges were very inconvenient to people who didn't care about the reason for the protest.
There are at least two glaring falsehoods in Bill Maher’s assessment of what Hamas “wants” but “can’t” do, versus what Israel “could” do but “doesn’t.” First, Palestinian children are not Hamas, second, genocide isn’t just something Israel “could” do, it’s exactly what Israel is doing. In lauding Israel’s restraint in not yet having completely annihilated the Palestinians even as the IDF targets doctors and aid workers for assassination while bulldozing Palestinian cemeteries, Mr. Maher demonstrates that he is an idiot, a propagandist, or both. By viewing the earnest, if misguided attempts of those who oppose genocide to have our voices heard in any way we can as being good for a laugh, Bill loses sight of the fact that most of us are not advocating for hugs and kisses for the Islamists so much as we are objecting to our tax money funding their wanton slaughter by fascists. We may not love them, but we don’t hate them enough to want their blood on our hands, as apparently Mr. Maher doesn’t mind saying he does.
I was just talking about this with my roommate and colleagues. Why are people selective on this stuff? Why do they care only every 4 years on one cause? While I got lame excuses and reasons, we all know the truth - narcissism, politics, trends.
Picking a side in a fight between rich white people and poor brown people is easy. Picking a side between poor brown people and other poor brown people isn't as satisfying.
For the past couple of decades now, whenever I saw any of these activists, all I hear is "Oh, am I not a good person for standing up for this cause and insisting that the government do something about it? Oh yes, PRAISE ME! PRAISE ME FOR IT!" That's all it is for most of them. They feel that their lives have no meaning, and by taking up some cause it suddenly makes their lives worthwhile...and then they insist on letting everyone else know just how wonderful they are. THAT is the really annoying part of it all.
That is why it is ALWAYS left leaning individuals doing this. Especially the young ones with no kids. They are all atheist and have no purpose in life and the need to be part of something "big" makes them do things like this. Their politics is their religion and they want to participate in it like the Islamic Jihadists with their extreme religion thinking they will change the world. While most conservatives have a belief in a god and that gives them purpose and they are usually too busy with their families. I'm one of those few conservatives that don't believe and have no kids but I have no desire to be part of something "big". I take a practical view. We are just another species existing in a blink of time during the existence of a 13.8 billion year old universe. What makes you feel so important that you need a purpose or meaning in life? It is inevitable, eventually the human species will die out like billions of others and the universe doesn't owe you a reason of "Why are we here"?
Psychologists and Narcissism Experts have written many articles on the twisted 'Covert Narcissist' mindset which binds the Left. Even the passive aggressive Just Stop Oil nerds, are regarded as Covert Narcissists. Learn about the 'Woke Mind Virus'...Covert Narcissism...and the messed up Leftist mindset will make more sense. NB: Islamic Narcs share the same Covert Narcissist mindset as 'Woke' Narcissists. 'Woke' Narcissists ONLY have Empathy for fellow Narcs (and Sociopaths)...and they genuinely believe it's 'Empathy'.
I see what you are saying Bill and I love you but don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.....I am disabled and if the fledgling disability rights movement protesters in the 1970s had not parked their wheelchairs in the streets and blocked traffic to symbolize the barriers in transportation in society that we really faced every single day I am so sick of being pigeonholed into this box of being an SJW no I really have Cerebral Palsy and have really faced the ableism and stereotype and barriers to living life like everyone else......those protests in the streets gave momentum to the precursors to the ADA like the rehab act actions like the capital crawl and the 504 sit-ins gave rise to so many good things for persons with disabilities and it literally started in places like NYC and Berkley (the birthplace of the INDEPENDENT LIVING CENTER MOVEMENT) and it started with wheelchairs blocking traffic because it was a real-world way of us showing the ALBEDs the literal barrier-free life they so often take for granted and IT WORKED even though we are still doing the work........so as a person with a disabiltiy I disagree protest works sometimes because if it weren't for those early trailblazers in the disability rights movement, THAT PROTESTED IN THE STREET BECAUSE WE WERE LITERALLY DYING IN INSITIUTONS, I would be sitting in an institution right now........I AM AN ACTIVIST BECAUSE I HAVE TO ADVOCATE FOR MYSELF AND MY FRIENDS not just so I can look cool on social media with fake outrage BILL thank you for coming to my TED talk
But there weren't really two moral sides to that issue. It was a matter of clear morality against...money. Nobody was having to make a choice of which of two groups of people to condemn to genocide.
@@rdkirk3834 what are you referring to the modern disability rights movement, particularly in the early years through grassroots efforts put focus on the fact that there was a secret genocide going on with the disabled population or are you not aware of forced institutionalization (which is still casually mentioned by doctors to this day) are you not aware of the centuries of forced institutionalization of us before 1973......I don't know what you are getting at about my comment
@@damianwildfong7278 And I can talk about slavery and Jim Crow. My point is that there was no moral competition in the case of disability rights. Nobody was going to die siding with the disababled, although people could die siding against the disabled. That was not a moral dilemma. In the case of Israel and Palestine, it _is_ a moral dilemma when the situation is examined in its entirety, and uncritically supporting either side can spell death in the millions.
@@rdkirk3834 Death "in the millions"? Exaggerating a little? Also, while there is no perfect solution to this dilemma, one must make a decision. Doing nothing is not an option. Some people can't handle that. They get hysterical.
In yet when “Truckers “ blocked Ottawa residents for 3 weeks from walking their dogs and going about their day and blocked a vital trade bridge to the US, you trashed Trudeau for trying to end it.
Trudeau was trying to forcibly mandate a vaccine on them or have them fired, you know?, like a dictator. He was suspending their bank accounts, like a dictator. I think they were blowing their horns in solidarity with each other. In other words they were protesting for their own civil liberties and rights and the right to work to feed themselves against the behavioural tactics of a tin pot dictator. Not protesting against a conflict thousands of miles away, to which they no very little about.
most people, while claiming "I support freedom of speech " will support/oppose a particular protest, with the only standard being whether or not they agree with the protestors. I used to think bill maher is better than this.
Israel dropped 75,000 tons of explosives so far. Euro-Med Monitor highlighted that the weight of the nuclear bombs dropped by the United States on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan at the end of World War II in August 1945 was estimated at about 15,000 tons of explosives.
You imply a conflation between the weight of the explosives and their devastating and lasting impacts, while apparently trying to show one as an order of magnitude more severe than the other. But their weight and their effect are different, so it's either a poor or a contrived message; giving you the benefit of the doubt, let's assume the former. That doesn't mean I'm saying either are (or were) good; but it's a terrible comparison for a lot of reasons.
@@Nik-wj6zv If that doesn't convince you, just look up the quotes from the government members of Israel, saying they went to kill everything, not just Hamas. It's on record.
I am Pakistani Muslim and I am totally with Bill on the issue of Middle East. These terror groups who get support from Iran must be denounced by all Muslims and the war currently going on is only because Hamas initiated this. I am so sad and ashamed by the acts of my people the Pakistanis and Muslims in general how they are reacting to Hamas. Yesterday a guy went into a McDonald's with a poster and started yelling at staff and customers saying they're helping the genocide. 😢 People have gone mental here and I laugh at the ones in the West who support them.
Nice to hear a sane voice..many Western students are incredibly gullible and Qatar recognized this...and then decided to fund the university poli sci departments to the tune of 5 billion dollars. It was all very intentional and manipulative and this absurdity on college campuses is the result...ironically, supporting US designated terror organizations does not only result in atrocities like 7/10 but harms the Gazans themselves, who live under the thumb of a radical, abusive regime. But the students do not have the necessary skills to connect the dots.
Let's answer Bill's questions: 1) *_"Why do you care about this particular cause?"_* Because we as a nation are financing the entire operation. We are not paying for CHN or SYR to do what it does. But the current ISRL operation is an American financed activity. So we must have a say in what happens. 2) *_Do you think blocking traffic is effective?"_* It worked for the Civil Rights movement. Disruption of day to day business is a critical part of any movement looking to significantly alter an un just status quo that persists primarily because it is convenient. Blocking of traffic is the least damaging way of doing that. It certainly is a relatively minor inconvenience as compared to the "gen" it is attempting to stop.

Well he isn't neutral tho Do I think most protesters are bat shit crazy and aren't actually helping YES Is Hamas bad oh YES bad and delusional Doesnt make Israel good tho coz Benjamin has been war hungry for years the bombing was just the excuse he needed makes you wonder sometimes how it happened even tho they were warned....

He has a point about protest in general... just stay on the side of the road and ask for people to beep their horn if they agree. Blocking traffic just pisses people off.
I think people’s political opinions are garbage anyway, but yeah, i have a job that my bills need actual money to pay for
Yeah that would be much more effective. Or at the very least, not counterproductive.
Like personally, I'm against Maher in that he is conflating "stop bombing civilians" with "we support islamic fundamentalism." which is a bit of a ridiculous jump.
But he's right about one thing. If you block traffic, people will try to find out whatever cause you are supporting and will associate it with blocked traffic. If anything, they'll oppose it out of spite.
Yea that's the point.

The war in Sudan…erupted last April and has created the world’s biggest humanitarian disaster, uprooting 8.5 million people and leaving 25 million needing humanitarian help. Experts say that famine will break out in the coming weeks, which could kill 500,000 to one million people.
Anyone interested?
No, I thought not.
No Jews involved....nuff said
This didnot get the constant media attention that what is happening to the palestinians did!!!! Especially on television!
Thank you!
I am interested. Also, it is different. For one, more people have died in less time in Gaza, even though both sides don't have strong armies, not that that matters but it is just an observation, it is a civil war in Sudan, and also, Israel is funded by the United States. Also, you have the fact that Israel is attacking a country that has signed up to the international criminal court's laws of war, and Israel may be breaking those laws, it is a sovereign nation using force on another ethic group of people. It isn't a civil war.
Also, Israel have made genocidal statements in the press and in meetings, government members have spoken that way, and United States directly gives aid to that government, and most of the public until recently supported Israel.
Syria and Sudan are internal matters, equally as terrible or more terrible, but it is not the same thing. No nation can step in and really police it unless everyone agreed because factions are fighting within those countries borders. Even though for example the United States has backed rebel factions in Syria for example, with no long term plan.

Yep...that how slavery was defeated. Lets just hold up signs and ask Putin to be nice as well.
Yeah. Just imagine if there was emergency let say an ambulance going to hospital. And because of the blockade the patient died. Do they want to take responsibility?
It's effectively legal if the law against it is not enforced

@@justinwijaya719 That has happened many times in the UK. There's footage out there from a road blocking protest in the UK from maybe a year or two ago. Police are there doing nothing.

Another instance, a women having a stroke in an ambulance stuck in 'traffic.'
The political spectrum is a big circle. If you go far enough to the left or the right, you end up in the same place.
Kinda, but not really. Fascists and Communists are both left wing socialists (and both use the same tools). Both want everything decided at the national or international level. American conservatives on the other hand (a minority within the GOP), want to follow the Constitution, have a SMALL federal government, decide things like Education at the local (or at most the State) level. This is why Trump leans right, but is not a conservative. He originally called for a federal ban on abortion. Again, deciding things at the Federal level. The Conservatives on the Supreme Court could have ruled for that but didn't. Instead they returned it to the State level. That's totally in keeping with "life and death" questions belong at the lowest possible level of government, closest to the people. My daughter, sister-in-law, and my Mother are all pro-abortion but are strong conservatives (for them the privacy issue is very strong). I oppose abortion, generally speaking, because too many are using it instead of birth control and you're killing human life. But I surely understand my home state voting to allow it.
Nazis are not right wing. The very name has Socialist within it. Hitler was "running out of other people's money" (to quote Margaret Thatcher) when he invaded Poland and immediately transferred Polish gold and credit to Germany, and gave them as much of his debt as he could transfer. Hitler had free medical, schools, etc. the standard socialist model. He used the same tactics of secret police, no warrant arrests, etc. that would fit right in with either Communist China or the former Soviet Union. He also controlled the news media, just like the DNC does in America.
Our schools are not balanced in explaining the differences, neither are any of the main stream media.
Isn't that more a "Sphere" than circle? Because you go around too far left or right, you'll wind up the same place. If you do that on a circle, you fall off the edge :P (Which isn't too far off...)

There is a delightful irony in Maher telling his audience he will wait for applause when presenting an argument about "collective narcissism."
He's just so gross
It’s because he’s aware that everyone in the audience agrees with him, but is too afraid to give an applause. It’s not because of narcissism
@@josephpurdy4664 I would like to set the record straight by stating that I like Bill Maher, even when I disagree with him. That said, surely you must agree that the man exudes a high level of hubris. It may be justified; Maher is an intelligent individual. Nevertheless, justification for hubris or narcissism does not absolve a person of the character trait. I stand by my statement that it reveals a certain level of narcissism (if not to a clinical level) to tell an audience to respond with applause before proceeding. It is tantamount to directing the audience to express agreement with his statements. You attribute the audience reluctance to fear. What do they have to fear? If the audience agreed with Maher's statement, he has created a safe space for them to respond spontaneously. His audience responded spontaneously on a number of other points. The audience reluctance more probably stems from the realization that Maher was making some controversial statements, and some members of the audience were either conflicted about supporting his views or disagreed with them. Even if the audience whole-heartedly agreed with Maher's statements, it shows a significant level of self-focus and self-confidence to be so certain of your position on a controversial subject to assume that your audience shares your views so thoroughly that they only need "permission" to express that agreement with applause. I would argue that the type of person who enjoys watching Bill Maher is a thinking individual. So it follows that the audience members might arrive at differing opinions about the protestors of the Israel-Palestinian conflict. Therefore, it is a bit narcissistic of Maher to assume that everyone in the audience thinks as he does on the issue.
Because that is his job! There is no pretense about it. ... and you have a choice to tune into the show or not... as well as watch this clip. I don't agree with everything he says. However, it seems that you came here to troll his video. So, that makes you a troll.
I don't really think this is as big of a burn as you think it is. I would say most comedians probably have a form of collective narcissism.
Add alienate to those narcissistic martyrs.
The point of a protest is to inconvenience the powerful, the second you start hurting the average person, you lose your support.
Not by going for the populace, you force them to come at you. You take over the city hall, chain yourself to the gates of the white house. Embarrass and shame the power structure by forcing them to deal with you. Make them send the police to drag you away, not the couple 1000 stuck in traffic demanding the powerful deal with you. These aren't even protests, there stunts, meant to draw attention. If a cause is well known, you don't need to draw attention to it.
You mean it’s not to voice your belief and win support, but to inconvenience someone?

This is what happens when you start labeling the average person evil.
People today forget that in order to change something you need a majority vote, and thus to win something, you have to convince that majority. Not drive them away.
Aristotle defended the “passionate, hot-tempered” and impulsive views and voices of youth. “They are high-minded, for they have not yet been humbled by life nor have they experienced the force of necessity; further, there is high-mindedness in thinking oneself worthy of great things, a feeling which belongs to one who is full of hope,” wrote Aristotle in his book, “Rhetoric.”

You don't get to use children as human shields, build tunnels under hospitals, and divert humanitarian aid to build missiles that you lob unabated into Israel on nearly a daily basis. C'mon, now, did Hamas really expect that the IDF wouldn't defend Israel with all its might? Seriously? Seriously?! How utterly stupid and immoral can Hamas be?!

Get out of the road & away from me, Wokey babies; ...read a book, learn a single true fact, think individually instead of as a 'movement', have a real problem to solve all on your very own by simply doing the best you can, see something of life & the world that doesn't depend on 'likes', learn to speak in real words instead of in an endless string of catch-phrases & slogans, realize that this world did not begin or even reach its peak of "totally amazing excellence" on the day of your birth. Maybe then somebody outside your own narrow age group will take you even slightly seriously.
I'm an Israeli living in London. A couple of years ago I volunteered in a mentoring programme with refugees. I met Tigrayans fleeing the war in Ethiopia. Every time we meet I hear horror stories, and I go check in the news and barely any mentions in the BBC and The Guardian. The civilian death toll on the Tigray side alone was around 500k. They tried to get attention to their cause here in London, to stop the actual genocide of their people. They were protesting, blocking roads. No one joined them, no one cared. I didn't want to say, "you're Africans, no one gives a fuck about you". Ethiopia, like Israel, is an American ally, getting its supplies from the US.
My sister lives in Germany, and tells stories of refugees from African wars. My dad always asks: "What wars?" No one in Europe cares about non-white / non-European conflicts -.- Everyone's just blind.

Rhetorical question.
I wonder if Bill would feel the same way when Mario Savio said in his speech:
"There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart that you can't take part! You can't even passively take part! And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus -- and you've got to make it stop! And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it -- that unless you're free the machine will be prevented from working at all!!" And mind you, part of this was directed at the time at how universities were running their administrations. Bill seems to be taking the side of the universities and the machine.
That's NOT the side you want to be on Bill. Don't criticize Democrats of not being willing to play dirty with Republicans when you're making excuses for their own incompetence and justifying their neo-liberal and anti-Progressive policies. Bill seems to forget how his own generation had protested the Vietnam War. Hell, he probably forgot how people were protesting the Iraq War and his own attitude towards it at the time. I guess when you get rich enough and old enough, you become a conservative yourself and start thinking like one.
It's a little disingenuous to suggest that the protesters don't know why they're protesting.
I participated in protests at protests over People’s Park in Berkeley ,early 2000ish. Our group was approached by a couple guys who encouraged us to go mess with the police a violent way. Totally beside the point of the demonstration. We left.

I have not read it either and now that I know about it, I will, but I doubt that it's going to change my opinion which is this: the United States government should completely pull out of that region of the world and stop giving both sides money. Individual Americans who want to give money to Israel or Palestine or who want to move there are certainly free to do so, but the government shouldn't drag the rest of us into it.

Take this video and others that deal with Gaza, for instance. Maher equates being opposed to the Israeli bombing campaign with support for Hamas. He seems to think that the so-called "woke left" are too obsessed with Israel "committing the terrible crime of defending itself" (i.e. deliberately killings civilians by the tens of thousands) to worry about other human rights abuses in places like North Korea, Afghanistan, Myanmar, etc. He says that Israel doesn't practice Apartheid, and for _Israeli_ Arabs, that's true-but for Palestinian Arabs in the West Bank, not so much.
These people don’t want to win anyone over or solve anything they just enjoy having an excuse to employ bully tactics ..

Well yeah, you could say that about most of the people who turn up for any event. See any street level interview of trump supporter, biden supporters. Fuck go ask some random people at a concert and ask them to name the act on stage and i bet there are some who have no idea.

People think what they are told to think. It's called consciousness.
Remember back in October when these protest first started and they couldn't even find the Jordan River or the Mediterranean Sea on the map,and were chanting "From the river to the sea". I do.
Its just like the whole "abolish/defund the Police" insanity during the Black Live Matters protests from 4 years ago. People had no fucking clue what it meant or what the consequenses could be.
I got into a discussion with a bunch of them. When I asked who should keep public order or implement laws that keep the public safe after we abolish the police, they could not give an answer. Only vague idea's with a lot of wishfull thinking in it.
Thank you Bill Maher for verbalizing quite succinctly what I feel, but can't successfully say.
It's not so much can't but won't say. Because if what most actual adults want to say about the idiocy of the current protest movement's, we'd be swatted/death threatened or simply publicly attacked on the street.

In this age of social media, protests have become more about the protestor getting clout points than bringing about any meaningful change. That's why I largely tune them out.
And coverage on the nightly news and social media, which peaceful gatherings are less likely to get.

I did Google it. "In 2014 [Uri Ariel] said, 'Between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea there will be only one state, which is Israel.' The phrase has been used by the Israeli Prime Minister, Likud's Benjamin Netanyahu, in speeches. Similar wording has also been used more recently by other Israeli politicians." Much more recently.
There are at least two glaring falsehoods in Bill Maher’s assessment of what Hamas “wants” but “can’t” do, versus what Israel “could” do but “doesn’t.” First, Palestinian children are not Hamas, second, genocide isn’t just something Israel “could” do, it’s exactly what Israel is doing.
In lauding Israel’s restraint in not yet having completely annihilated the Palestinians even as the IDF targets doctors and aid workers for assassination while bulldozing Palestinian cemeteries, Mr. Maher demonstrates that he is an idiot, a propagandist, or both.
By viewing the earnest, if misguided attempts of those who oppose genocide to have our voices heard in any way we can as being good for a laugh, Bill loses sight of the fact that most of us are not advocating for hugs and kisses for the Islamists so much as we are objecting to our tax money funding their wanton slaughter by fascists. We may not love them, but we don’t hate them enough to want their blood on our hands, as apparently Mr. Maher doesn’t mind saying he does.
There are - and always have been - plenty of Israeli politicians and common people who supported the "peace process", establishment of a Palestinian state to co-exist with Israel. I was one of them until Oct 7th. There are - and always were - exactly ZERO Arabs who said the same, before or after the Oslo process began.
Every time - EVERY TIME - we gave up land for peace, we got neither. Every time the Palestinians got control over a territory - in the West Bank, in Gaza, in Jordan or in Lebanon - they used it for one thing, and one thing only, attack Israel. Oct 7th is just the latest episode.
I;m quoting your post - "much more recently". I wonder why that is. The fact is after 30+ years of "peace process", of generous peace proposals, of giving land, we have gotten this. A terrorist army invading our territory and commiting the worse mass murder of Jews since the Holocaust. And if we were to leave the West Bank - like we left Gaza - the result would be the same.
Quite frankly, we are sick of this shit. The Arabs don;t want their own state - what they want is to destroy ours. So yeah, right now and in the forseeable future we will not allow the establishment of ANOTHER hostile ISIS enclave on our borders.
And the Palestinians have no one but themselves to blame.

For the past couple of decades now, whenever I saw any of these activists, all I hear is "Oh, am I not a good person for standing up for this cause and insisting that the government do something about it? Oh yes, PRAISE ME! PRAISE ME FOR IT!"
That's all it is for most of them. They feel that their lives have no meaning, and by taking up some cause it suddenly makes their lives worthwhile...and then they insist on letting everyone else know just how wonderful they are. THAT is the really annoying part of it all.
That is why it is ALWAYS left leaning individuals doing this. Especially the young ones with no kids. They are all atheist and have no purpose in life and the need to be part of something "big" makes them do things like this. Their politics is their religion and they want to participate in it like the Islamic Jihadists with their extreme religion thinking they will change the world. While most conservatives have a belief in a god and that gives them purpose and they are usually too busy with their families. I'm one of those few conservatives that don't believe and have no kids but I have no desire to be part of something "big". I take a practical view.
We are just another species existing in a blink of time during the existence of a 13.8 billion year old universe. What makes you feel so important that you need a purpose or meaning in life? It is inevitable, eventually the human species will die out like billions of others and the universe doesn't owe you a reason of "Why are we here"?

I see what you are saying Bill and I love you but don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.....I am disabled and if the fledgling disability rights movement protesters in the 1970s had not parked their wheelchairs in the streets and blocked traffic to symbolize the barriers in transportation in society that we really faced every single day I am so sick of being pigeonholed into this box of being an SJW no I really have Cerebral Palsy and have really faced the ableism and stereotype and barriers to living life like everyone else......those protests in the streets gave momentum to the precursors to the ADA like the rehab act actions like the capital crawl and the 504 sit-ins gave rise to so many good things for persons with disabilities and it literally started in places like NYC and Berkley (the birthplace of the INDEPENDENT LIVING CENTER MOVEMENT) and it started with wheelchairs blocking traffic because it was a real-world way of us showing the ALBEDs the literal barrier-free life they so often take for granted and IT WORKED even though we are still doing the work........so as a person with a disabiltiy I disagree protest works sometimes because if it weren't for those early trailblazers in the disability rights movement, THAT PROTESTED IN THE STREET BECAUSE WE WERE LITERALLY DYING IN INSITIUTONS, I would be sitting in an institution right now........I AM AN ACTIVIST BECAUSE I HAVE TO ADVOCATE FOR MYSELF AND MY FRIENDS not just so I can look cool on social media with fake outrage BILL thank you for coming to my TED talk
But there weren't really two moral sides to that issue. It was a matter of clear morality against...money. Nobody was having to make a choice of which of two groups of people to condemn to genocide.
@@rdkirk3834 what are you referring to the modern disability rights movement, particularly in the early years through grassroots efforts put focus on the fact that there was a secret genocide going on with the disabled population or are you not aware of forced institutionalization (which is still casually mentioned by doctors to this day) are you not aware of the centuries of forced institutionalization of us before 1973......I don't know what you are getting at about my comment
@@damianwildfong7278 And I can talk about slavery and Jim Crow. My point is that there was no moral competition in the case of disability rights. Nobody was going to die siding with the disababled, although people could die siding against the disabled. That was not a moral dilemma.
In the case of Israel and Palestine, it _is_ a moral dilemma when the situation is examined in its entirety, and uncritically supporting either side can spell death in the millions.
@@rdkirk3834 Death "in the millions"? Exaggerating a little? Also, while there is no perfect solution to this dilemma, one must make a decision. Doing nothing is not an option. Some people can't handle that. They get hysterical.
In yet when “Truckers “ blocked Ottawa residents for 3 weeks from walking their dogs and going about their day and blocked a vital trade bridge to the US, you trashed Trudeau for trying to end it.
Also, they constantly blew their truck horns, they were a Canadian MAGA.
Trudeau was trying to forcibly mandate a vaccine on them or have them fired, you know?, like a dictator. He was suspending their bank accounts, like a dictator. I think they were blowing their horns in solidarity with each other. In other words they were protesting for their own civil liberties and rights and the right to work to feed themselves against the behavioural tactics of a tin pot dictator. Not protesting against a conflict thousands of miles away, to which they no very little about.
The truckers, it turns out, were right. So are these students
Selective outrage :)
most people, while claiming "I support freedom of speech " will support/oppose a particular protest, with the only standard being whether or not they agree with the protestors. I used to think bill maher is better than this.
Watch for Benny to change his mind about going into Rafah because some people are still sitting in a tent at the Columbia university campus.
Israel dropped 75,000 tons of explosives so far. Euro-Med Monitor highlighted that the weight of the nuclear bombs dropped by the United States on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan at the end of World War II in August 1945 was estimated at about 15,000 tons of explosives.
You imply a conflation between the weight of the explosives and their devastating and lasting impacts, while apparently trying to show one as an order of magnitude more severe than the other. But their weight and their effect are different, so it's either a poor or a contrived message; giving you the benefit of the doubt, let's assume the former.
That doesn't mean I'm saying either are (or were) good; but it's a terrible comparison for a lot of reasons.
@@Nik-wj6zv If that doesn't convince you, just look up the quotes from the government members of Israel, saying they went to kill everything, not just Hamas. It's on record.
This is his best monologue I’ve watched in a while
🤣🤣🤣
People have said that every week for years.. Maybe it's time to admit he just regularly makes good points
bill maher's mother is Jewish . His bias is showing
It was fine until the end when he showed his leftist hatred for Trump
Lying about people who are protesting a genocide. I can't think of Bill Maher saying anything more disgusting.
I used to ask those dudes wearing the Che t-shirt if they used money to get it...
That was well done! If only all the protesters would watch they might learn something.
They are watching that's what's causing them to protest
Bill Maher nailed it this time. 👍
I am Pakistani Muslim and I am totally with Bill on the issue of Middle East. These terror groups who get support from Iran must be denounced by all Muslims and the war currently going on is only because Hamas initiated this.
I am so sad and ashamed by the acts of my people the Pakistanis and Muslims in general how they are reacting to Hamas. Yesterday a guy went into a McDonald's with a poster and started yelling at staff and customers saying they're helping the genocide. 😢
People have gone mental here and I laugh at the ones in the West who support them.
are there many pakistanis like you?
Nice to hear a sane voice..many Western students are incredibly gullible and Qatar recognized this...and then decided to fund the university poli sci departments to the tune of 5 billion dollars. It was all very intentional and manipulative and this absurdity on college campuses is the result...ironically, supporting US designated terror organizations does not only result in atrocities like 7/10 but harms the Gazans themselves, who live under the thumb of a radical, abusive regime. But the students do not have the necessary skills to connect the dots.
Ugh now I can’t unsee Trump doing that hand dance 😂😂😂
I did not think it looked a double masturbation until Bill Maher pointed it out; now I cannot I think it. 🤮
@@alasdairwatson712 Bill just fantasies doing 'IT' too Trump! TDS lives in his head every day ... every hour!
If you had taught Jeb Bush the art of dead pan delivery & don't need you BDE, it would have been a different kind of present day
Big Please Clap energy! Make it work!
That Lincoln Log joke was way out of left field.
Let's answer Bill's questions:
1) *_"Why do you care about this particular cause?"_*
Because we as a nation are financing the entire operation. We are not paying for CHN or SYR to do what it does. But the current ISRL operation is an American financed activity. So we must have a say in what happens.
2) *_Do you think blocking traffic is effective?"_*
It worked for the Civil Rights movement.
Disruption of day to day business is a critical part of any movement looking to significantly alter an un just status quo that persists primarily because it is convenient.
Blocking of traffic is the least damaging way of doing that. It certainly is a relatively minor inconvenience as compared to the "gen" it is attempting to stop.
There are at least two glaring falsehoods in Bill Maher’s assessment of what Hamas “wants” but “can’t” do, versus what Israel “could” do but “doesn’t.” First, Palestinian children are not Hamas, second, genocide isn’t just something Israel “could” do, it’s exactly what Israel is doing.
In lauding Israel’s restraint in not yet having completely annihilated the Palestinians even as the IDF targets doctors and aid workers for assassination while bulldozing Palestinian cemeteries, Mr. Maher demonstrates that he is an idiot, a propagandist, or both.
By viewing the earnest, if misguided attempts of those who oppose genocide to have our voices heard in any way we can as being good for a laugh, Bill loses sight of the fact that most of us are not advocating for hugs and kisses for the Islamists so much as we are objecting to our tax money funding their wanton slaughter by fascists. We may not love them, but we don’t hate them enough to want their blood on our hands, as apparently Mr. Maher doesn’t mind saying he does.
And that, Don Lemon, is how it’s done.
Well he isn't neutral tho
Do I think most protesters are bat shit crazy and aren't actually helping YES
Is Hamas bad oh YES bad and delusional
Doesnt make Israel good tho coz Benjamin has been war hungry for years the bombing was just the excuse he needed makes you wonder sometimes how it happened even tho they were warned....
That aside maybr if he wasn't fully on Israel side including saying if Benjamin Netanyahu was a dictator maybe thats what Israel needed then turn around and attack Trump( also WtF ) for wanting to be one (kinda screams hypocrisy....) I would have taken him more seriously
Is that how to properly discuss Trump? Is that what you mean?
@6:35 This. This is what people don't seem to understand who are "protesting".
