Arabia in another boon to Iran\">ongoing conflict<\/a> between Israel and Palestine, which included \u2014 as any discussion will \u2014 a dialogue about the contemptible actions of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/tom-cotton-bidens-position-hamas-victory\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hamas terrorists<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In talking about stopping the war and the deaths of innocent people, Maher offered the solution unequivocally: \u201cStop attacking Israel.\u201d His statement was met with applause by the audience, while only two women on the panel joined in.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tn1X-j09o1M?si=696boac57JLPKI5U\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Maher\u2019s remark came at the end of an exchange with Sunny Hostin, in which she asked, \u201cAre you at all concerned about the innocent civilians that have been collectively punished and murdered, largely children and women? Are you at all concerned about the fact that the International Criminal Court just today issued a subpoena for Bibi [Benjamin] Netanyahu?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Maher responded, \u201cIt\u2019s a war, and they were attacked, and they\u2019re defending themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hostin reasoned that, because <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dozens-gather-to-remember-17-lives-lost-in-parkland-shooting\/\" title=\"Dozens gather to remember 17 lives lost in Parkland shooting\">innocent lives<\/a> have been lost in this terrible ongoing conflict, Maher\u2019s position for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/biden-betrays-voters-admits-obvious-truth-israels-conflict-gaza\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Israel<\/a> and against Hamas is invalidated.<\/p>\n<p>By that token, the Allied powers were in the wrong during World War II, considering that their actions in defeating Nazi Germany resulted in civilian deaths.<\/p>\n<p>War is a terrible thing that nobody should wish for. The deaths of innocent people should not be brushed aside.<\/p>\n<div id=\"firefly-poll-container\">\n<p>Is Whoopi Goldberg the worst member of &#8216;The View?&#8217;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Yet, as Maher reminded the all-female panel, Hamas is no champion of rights and equality worthy of support.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet me tell you, if you\u2019re for Hamas, just live in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/poll-democrats-deeply-divided-bidens-handling-gaza-war-campus-protests-can-trump-capitalize\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gaza<\/a> for a day \u2014 and I\u2019m not talking about while the war is on, I mean before the war. Trust me, you would go running and screaming and begging to live in Tel Aviv, a place that has your values.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another telling remark came from Joy Behar after the audience applauded Maher for his comment about Israel being attacked.<\/p>\n<p>Behar said, \u201cThey\u2019re [Hamas] calling for the annihilation of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/safe-space-jews\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Jews<\/a>, and so you can\u2019t really defend that on the other side very easily.\u201d When the shot panned out, you could see from Whoopi Goldberg and Hostin\u2019s expressions they were less than thrilled with Behar\u2019s declaration.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not as if Behar said something disputable. This is an espoused position by Hamas, and a horrifying one at that.<\/p>\n<p>How could anyone with a moral compass express disdain or indifference toward Behar\u2019s statement that Hamas wants to kill all Jews?<\/p>\n<p>This dialogue with Maher highlighted what is the strangest alliance in modern political discourse. That is, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/left-wrong-trans-suicides-surge-following-gender-affirming-surgeries-study-shows\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the left<\/a> and broadly speaking, Islam.<\/p>\n<p>As Maher points out, western values are totally at odds with the society Muslim-majority countries look to build, a Hamas-led Palestine included.<\/p>\n<p>To reiterate, war is a terrible thing that we should all loathe. However, Hostin\u2019s view concerning innocent lives lost doesn\u2019t mean we should all go running into the arms of terrorists.<\/p>\n<p>As evidenced by the rest of the discussion, Maher is not a conservative, stepping in to \u2014 once again \u2014 make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/whoopi-goldberg-launches-surprise-defense-conservative-chiefs-kicker-harrison-butker-view\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cThe View\u2019s\u201d<\/a> panel look foolish. He\u2019s a self-proclaimed liberal.<\/p>\n<p>Surely if the left is going to listen to reason when it comes to disavowing terrorism, it will be from one of their own.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<div>\n<p><b><i>An Important Message from Our Staff:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><i><span>In just a few months, the world is going to change forever.
