During his closing monologue on Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher stated that pro-Hamas demonstrators should fight against the actual apartheid against women in the Middle East rather than the fictional apartheid in Israel and should have to deal with some of the same treatment women face at the hands of those who the protesters side with.
Maher said, “If you’re out protesting for a couple of hours wearing [a keffiyeh], you have to go all the way and spend an afternoon running errands wearing [a burqa]. You can’t side with the people who ruthlessly oppress women without at least getting a taste of what you’re supporting.”

It’s just like the lefties who scream about slavery, blacks, etc. I always tell them that slavery is still going on in the Muslum world, M E & Africa, focus their outrage there.

Can we crowd fund them as “missionaries to the middle east”? We have had “missionaries” before. Reminds me of the the 2 Italian women dressed in white wedding garb who were hitch hiking from Italy to the middle east via war effected countries. They had such a lovely motive.

In summary they got to Istanbul and split up. One went home (abandoned the idea) the other continued. The persistent one was raped and murdered by one of her hitch hiker drivers in Turkey.

Hi Bonnie. I feel it is so unfair to be anti Zionist since half of Israel’s population are forced Zionists. When Israel became a state, Muslim countries in Africa and the Middle East kiicked out their Jews forcing Zionism on them. These Jews had been living there for hundreds of years and longer. They were content living in their homelands until they were displaced refugees. Israel took them in. Because of this forced displacement, these countries should feel an obligation to take in the Palestinian people. They should absorb them like Israel did with the displaced Jews. Morocco, Tunesia, Algeria, Libya, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Turkey, Iran etc. should welcome the Umma with open arms. They caused the overcrowding of tiny Israel by forcing Zionism on their Jews. Saudia Arabia should chime in since they displaced their Jews too, only hundreds of years earlier. Spain should also step up to the plate since they expelled their Muslims in 1492. This could solve land problems. Ideology problems not so much. Most of Western Europe, complicit in the Holocaust, can do the same. The Jews from Europe were actually refugees but also forced Zionists. Israel always had Jews, their cousins came home from Europe. It is politically incorrect today not to take in war refugees. Why is 1948 different?

I agree that the Arab states should take in the Palestinians, or rather Jordan should take all of them in because Jordon
was supposed to be the Palestinian state. But no one wants them.
I disagree that any Jews are forced Zionists. If you are a Jew and are not a Zionist, you aren’t a real Jew.
Daniel Erbstoesser says
Bonni i like the last two sentences. I agree with you here and im the same as you but not a jew. some say that im a Jew and i do not disagree with them here. I think and act as a Jew and allways have then this is what i learned in my younger days so i guess you can call me a Jew too. I see this as a compliment so sue me if im wrong.
BareNakedIslam says
Daniel, you are my absolute favorite German.
Daniel Erbstoesser says
Thanks Bonni that is good to hear from the right persons, here in my country im a nazi for the way i am, what i am you can see here in your blog. Thats me and nothing else and as i say live with me or leave me then i dont change.
BareNakedIslam says
One more term of Biden, God forbid, and this country will resemble Nazi Germany.
Daniel Erbstoesser says
Ohh yeah it will but you have to spread your sight then biden is a puppet and no more. The ones behind him, the ones we wont ever see are the dangerous ones and yes they want to and they are turning America into a socialistic shithole, gone is honor and bravery and in its place is queer, self suicide, denunciation and even personal damage, not to forget the loss of your country and life.
JustJim says
Hopefully, Maher will eventually see ALL the light, and become a strong voice, and use his established platform, to spread the truth of the Israeli plight, and the Palestinian hoax.
BareNakedIslam says
He’s done other monologues on the Israel-Palestinian issue that were good, too.

I saw Bill’s talk on CNN Saturday evening. It was great. One of the few public figures with the balls to tell it like it is.
marge lux says
and yet, Maher is still a so-called “Liberal?” I’ve been telling him he’s a conservative for 10 years…..he still hates Trump. He has a ways to go for my respect.
BareNakedIslam says
He’s an old-school liberal, NOT a leftist.
BLR says
one wonders if the liberal lefties pause and give a thought to what a liberal righty is calling them apartheid hypocrites there may be a spark of insight still glowing in their brain dead world … who knows
Daniel Erbstoesser says
Wow that is great stuff and in the morning very welcome. Keep posting his stuff. What i miss is the progress reports from what the IDF is doing and how are they doing while doing this. Tongue bender here.
