Bill Maher delivered a great monologue on his show Friday night. He tore into the media and education for trying to rewrite the story of 9/11 and then used that to dovetail into the left’s false narrative of ‘genocide’ in Gaza.
Lots of people on the right are sharing this on Twitter/X, praising Maher’s take.
FOX News has details:
Comedian Bill Maher spent the first night of Rosh Hashanah taking aim at Macklemore and other anti-Israel celebrities, arguing that calling the war in Gaza a genocide is fueling a global rise in antisemitism.
During Friday night’s episode of HBO’s “Real Time,” Maher first criticized members of the Democratic Party who have spoken out against Israel during the Israel-Hamas war.
“Because nowhere has this moral confusion become more obvious than in a place called Gaza,” Maher said. “A little strip of land that was not part of the original Israel, but they won in a war launched against them, but then gave back, gave back as a peace gesture — did they tell you that part on TikTok, kids?”
Maher then turned his attention to Macklemore — whose real name is Benjamin Hammond Haggerty — after the musician repeatedly made calls to “Free Palestine” while performing his anti-Israel song “Hind’s Hall” as an opening act for Ed Sheeran at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, earlier this month.
“I think Macklemore spoke for all clueless celebrities when he said, ‘I know enough to know this is a genocide,’” Maher continued. “Actually, you don’t know s—. It’s not. It’s not a genocide. It’s a counterattack in a war.”
“Gaza equals genocide is a lie, an easily provable lie,” Maher said. “And the fact that so many prominent Democrats go along with it is, to me, the party’s worst moment since they undid Reconstruction after the Civil War. Democrats are policing their candidates really hard on this issue. Say it — say it’s a genocide. Say it.”…
“If you’re one of the many people these days asking, ‘This explosion of antisemitism around the world that we see, where is it coming from?’” Maher said. “This. This is where it’s coming from. Because if you really think someone is committing genocide, of course you have full permission to hate them. And history shows, for whatever reason, when it comes to hating the Jews, people don’t need a lot of permission.”

I’m hard-pressed to think of anyone else in the media who is talking like this right now.
