Maher argued that Israel \u2063embodies the very principles that\u2063 the left claims to champion.<\/p>\n<p>Maher delivered his remarks during the \u2063&#8221;new rule&#8221; segment of his HBO show \u2062&#8221;Real Time,&#8221; addressing the political left&#8217;s anger towards Israel \u200bfollowing\u2064 the recent wave of violence instigated by Palestinian Islamic terrorists \u2063with Hamas, resulting in \u200dthe deaths of over 1,400\u200c Israelis.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;For all the progressives and academics\u2062 who refer to \u2062Israel as an outpost\u200b of Western civilization like it\u2019s a bad thing,&#8221; Maher began,\u2063 &#8220;please note, Western civilization is what gave \u2064the world\u200d pretty much every g****mn liberal precept\u200d that liberals are supposed to adore.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Maher continued to emphasize the values \u200cthat the left \u2062holds dear, such as individual liberties, scientific inquiry, rule of law, religious\u2064 freedom, women&#8217;s rights, human rights, democracy, trial by jury,\u200d and freedom of speech. He pointed \u200bout that these concepts are prevalent in Israel,\u2062 making it a \u200cbeacon of progress in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;And since one can find\u2062 all these concepts in today\u2019s Israel and virtually nowhere else in the Middle East, if anything, the world would \u200dbe \u200ba better place if it had more Israels.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Maher also ridiculed the left&#8217;s tendency to \u2063reduce their \u2063worldview to\u200c a simplistic dichotomy of &#8220;victims or victimizers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;So Israel is\u2062 lumped in as the toxic fruit of the victimizing West,&#8221;\u200b he\u200d said. &#8220;The irony being that all marginalized people \u2063live better \u200btoday because of Western ideals, not in spite of them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>He further criticized the left&#8217;s \u200dsupport for Hamas, questioning their understanding of the group&#8217;s\u2063 true intentions and actions.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Yes, that\u2019s how simple\u200d the woke are. It\u2019s never about \u2064ideas,&#8221; Maher remarked. \u200b&#8221;If it was, \u200cwould they be cheering on Hamas for their\u2064 liberation? \u2062Liberation to do what? More freely preside over\u200d a [territory] where\u2064 there are no laws against \u2064sexual harassment, spousal rape, domestic violence, homophobia, honor \u200dkillings, or \u2062child marriage? This is who liberals think you should stand with. Women\u200b there should be so\u200b lucky as to get colonized\u2064 by anybody else. And for\u2063 the record, the Jews \u200bdidn\u2019t colonize Israel or anywhere ever except maybe Boca Raton.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Maher also\u200c clarified the \u2064historical context of Israel&#8217;s establishment, dispelling misconceptions about its formation and the role of Jews \u2062in the region.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Gaza wasn\u2019t seized\u2062 by Israel like \u2062India or\u200d Kenya\u2062 was by the\u2063 British\u200d Empire,&#8221; he \u2064explained. &#8220;And the partitioning of the region wasn\u2019t \u200bdecided by \u2064Jews, but\u2063 by a \u200cvote of the United \u2062Nations in 1947, with everyone from Russia to\u2064 Haiti voting for it, but apparently \u200dthey don\u2019t teach this [in<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bill-maher-blasts-leftists-for-hate-of-israel-world-would-be-a-better-place-if-it-had-more-israels\/\" title=\"Bill Maher criticizes leftists for their Israel animosity, advocates for more Israels to improve the world.\">] drag queen story hour anymore<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Watch the video below to see Maher&#8217;s powerful monologue:<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What \u2063argument does \u2064Maher make about Israel&#8217;s defensive actions \u200din response to \u2064terrorist\u200c attacks?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Nt in Israel, making it a natural ally for\u200b the left.<\/p>\n<p>Maher \u200bcriticized the woke left for their \u200dselective outrage, stating \u2062that while they claim to stand up for\u2064 marginalized communities and oppressed\u200c people, they conveniently turn \u200ba blind eye to \u200cthe atrocities committed by authoritarian\u200c regimes in other parts of the world. He\u2064 argued that if the left truly cared about human rights and equality, they should be more vocal in their \u2064support for Israel, \u200ca country that\u2062 shares their values\u200b and is\u200c constantly\u2062 under threat\u200c from hostile neighbors.<\/p>\n<p>The comedian also addressed \u200dthe \u2064issue of Israel&#8217;s defensive actions in response to \u2063terrorist attacks, particularly the recent conflict with\u200b Hamas. Maher argued that when it \u200dcomes to self-defense, Israel has the right\u2063 to protect its citizens \u200djust like any other country. He reminded his\u2062 audience that Hamas, an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/shock-video-idf-warns-gazan-man-to-evacuate-children-before-bombing-he-responds-if-the-children-need-to-die-then-theyll-die\/\" title=\"Shock Video: IDF Warns Gazan Man To Evacuate Children Before Bombing.

He challenged them\u200c to reevaluate their perspective and recognize that supporting\u200b Israel \u2064is not \u2064contradictory to their progressive values,\u2063 but rather, aligns with them.<\/p>\n<p>While Maher&#8217;s remarks may have ignited\u200b controversy among some members of the left, his\u2064 critique highlights\u200d an important issue within\u200b <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/maher-defends-israel-leftists-would-run-screaming-to-tel-aviv-if-they-had-to-live-in-gaza-for-one-day\/\" title=\"Maher Defends Israel: Leftists \u2018Would Run Screaming To Tel Aviv If They Had To Live In Gaza For One Day\u2019\">liberal circles<\/a>. It raises questions\u2063 about the\u200c inconsistency and double \u200dstandards exhibited by some woke leftists when it comes to supporting Israel. Maher&#8217;s\u200b argument serves as a reminder that\u200c the left should not overlook\u2062 the values that Israel represents and the threats it faces. Supporting Israel does not mean turning a \u200cblind eye to its flaws, but\u200c rather acknowledging its place as\u200c a beacon of \u2064<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/crenshaw-the-real-authoritarians\/\" title=\"CRENSHAW: The Real Authoritarians\">liberal values<\/a> in a region marked by turmoil and oppression.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, \u2064Maher&#8217;s scathing critique of woke leftists&#8217; disdain towards Israel sheds \u200clight on the hypocrisy within the political left. He highlights the values that Israel embodies and argues that supporting the country aligns \u200cwith the principles that the left claims to champion. Maher&#8217;s \u200bremarks\u2064 serve \u2064as a wake-up call for the woke left to reevaluate their\u200b perspective\u200d and recognize the importance of supporting a\u2062 country that \u200cshares their values. It is a reminder that \u2063being progressive means standing up for justice and equality, even when\u2064 it is unpopular or goes \u200dagainst popular narratives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liberal comedian Bill Maher criticized woke leftists for their anti-Israel sentiment, arguing that Israel embodies the values they claim to uphold.
