May Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel.\u2019 Ten years ago, if you read that, to me, I thought that would be from Hezbollah, that\u2019s an American congressperson. Another American congressperson says \u2018the reality of Israel\u2019s apartheid government\u2019 goes on to say, \u2018the occupation and ethnic cleansing Palestinians live with every day\u2019. Another one says \u2018Israel targets media sources so the world can\u2019t see Palestinians being massacred.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All of the quotes that Maher referenced came from far-left Democrat Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar. However, Maher never once mentioned their political affiliation and he appeared to try to make it harder for people to tell who he was talking about by referring to them as \u201ccongresspeople\u201d instead of \u201ccongresswomen\u201d after he had initially stated that they were \u201ccongressmen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have three questions for you,\u201d Maher continued. \u201cAre you massacring Palestinians? Are you ethnic cleansing? And are you an apartheid state?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, no, and no,\u201d Netanyahu responded. \u201cThese are all ridiculous charges against the one democracy in the Middle East. The one democracy that upholds human rights, that defends freedom, and is America\u2019s best ally. So I think these people should wake up to reality. But I think that\u2019s a far too great of hope. It\u2019s not going to happen. We just have to defend ourselves against these people because they purvey lies. You ever hear the word \u2018Fake News\u2019? This is fake old news, it goes back thousands of years? We\u2019re not impressed by it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bill Maher, the liberal host of HBO\u2019s \u201cReal Time,\u201d discussed anti-semitism with former Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu late last week where he awkwardly tried to protect Democrat politicians from past remarks that they have made.
