Comedian Bill Burr mocked Bill Maher on the latter’s own podcast on Sunday, telling him he does not know as much as he thinks he does.
On Sunday’s Club Random, Maher criticized college students and “cancel culture,” which Burr declared “over” and said that “no one cares anymore.”
Eventually, Maher steered the conversation toward the recent protests on college campuses regarding Israel’s war in Gaza. Burr told the host that he sides with the students, prompting Maher to say that position ignores the “hard-nosed decisions” that should be made after an event such as the Oct. 7th terrorist attacks in Israel. The guest responded by saying Maher is posing as an expert in world politics and likened him to a fantasy football team owner who thinks he could be the general manager in the NFL.
BATTLE OF THE BILLS
I dunno why the quality is so bad, maybe it's the cigar smoke.
It'd probably best serve Palestinian cause to condense why and how Israel's campaign into Gaza is genocide with bullet points/talking points.
For example:
Cite Osama Bin Laden using the justification of collective punishment on Americans when justifying collective punishment on Palestinians.
As an occupying power, Israel is responsible for the welfare of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.
Gaza is in a state of famine.
Palestinians in Gaza are denied medical care, food, shelter, clean water.
Palestinians in Gaza are being shuffled around through the strip in a labyrinth of death, being attacked wherever they are moved to.
All qualifies under ethnic cleansing.
Bring up Ministry of Intelligence leaked document on a proposition to ethnically cleanse them to the Sinai.
Bring up ICJ ruling that genocide is in a state of legal possibility within the Gaza strip.
Bring up the very dialogue Israeli politicians were making up to a month or two of October 7th musing and seeking policy implementation of ethnic cleansing and genocide.
Maher relies on collective willful ignorance, racism, or naive confusion - as the facts are deliberately obfuscated by mainstream media - on behalf of his audience to justify Zionist practice of genocide and oppression.
At best, I appreciate Burr just treating this like a professional obligation rather than the simulated friendship portrayed here.
