He accused them of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/report-in-crime-ridden-la-da-sits-on-over-15000-unfiled-cases\/\" title=\"Report: Over 15,000 Cases Unfiled by DA in Crime-Heavy LA\">warped moral compass<\/a> and &#8220;suicidal empathy,&#8221; arguing that advocates who claim to care about justice but don&#8217;t prioritize gender apartheid and the persecution of minorities are hypocritical. The remarks followed an on-air clash with Ana Kasparian of The Young Turks, when Maher challenged her to name a Muslim country she would prefer to live in over Israel; critics accused him of racism, which he rejected by noting Islam is not a race. Maher urged feminist liberals to be more concerned about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/u-s-designates-iran-china-as-countries-of-concern-over-religious-freedom\/\" title=\"U.S. Designates Iran, China as Countries of Concern Over Religious Freedom\">strict dress codes<\/a> and other repressive practices affecting women in parts of the Muslim world and warned that Islamist ideologies would not spare Western supporters if given power. He called on other influential figures on the left to similarly confront what he sees as radical hypocrisy.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Bill Maher is not a conservative, never has been, and almost certainly never will be.<\/p>\n<p>But once again, he found himself earlier this week doing what too few on the modern left are willing to do: calling out radical hypocrisy on that side of the aisle.<\/p>\n<p>In a Monday <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SulkinMaya\/status\/2003171224420254177\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">interview<\/a> with The Free Press, Maher took aim at pro-Palestinian demonstrators in the West who portray themselves as moral crusaders while excusing away or ignoring the ugly truths of Islamist societies.<\/p>\n<p>Adoration for wolves among left-wing sheep has been coined &ldquo;suicidal empathy&rdquo; in some circles.<\/p>\n<p>It certainly applies to the sect of Americans who wave LGBT flags while championing an ideology that slaughters gays.<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} else { \t\t\t\tdocument.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\", function() { \t\t\t\t\tfunction loadScript(src) { \t\t\t\t\t\tconst script=document.createElement(\"script\"); \t\t\t\t\t\tscript.src=src; \t\t\t\t\t\tscript.async=true; \t\t\t\t\t\tdocument.body.appendChild(script); \t\t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\t\tfunction findPreviousParagraph(selector, x) { \t\t\t\t\t\tconst targetElement=document.querySelector(selector); \t\t\t\t\t\tif (!targetElement) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.warn(\"Target element not found.\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\treturn null; \t\t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Get all <\/p>\n<p> elements in order as they appear in the document \t\t\t\t\t\tlet paragraphs=Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(\"p\"));  \t\t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Find the index of the last <\/p>\n<p> before the target element \t\t\t\t\t\tlet targetIndex=paragraphs.findIndex(p=> p.compareDocumentPosition(targetElement) & Node.DOCUMENT_POSITION_PRECEDING);  \t\t\t\t\t\tif (targetIndex===-1 || targetIndex <x) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.warn(\"Not enough paragraphs before the target element.\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\treturn null; \t\t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\treturn paragraphs[targetIndex - x]; \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Set up IntersectionObserver \t\t\t\t\tfunction observeElement(element) { \t\t\t\t\t\tif (!element) return;  \t\t\t\t\t\tconst observer=new IntersectionObserver( \t\t\t\t\t\t\t(entries)=> { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tentries.forEach(entry=> { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tif (entry.isIntersecting) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.log(\"Paragraph is now visible:\", entry.target.textContent.trim()); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tloadScript(\"https:\/\/embed.sendtonews.com\/player3\/embedcode.js?fk=s28Az7AY\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tobserver.disconnect(); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t}); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t}, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t{ threshold: 0.5 } \/\/ Adjust threshold as needed \t\t\t\t\t\t);  \t\t\t\t\t\tobserver.observe(element); \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Find the 1st paragraph before #stnvideo and observe it \t\t\t\t\tlet paragraphToObserve=findPreviousParagraph(\"#stnvideo\", 2); \t\t\t\t\tobserveElement(paragraphToObserve); \t\t\t\t}); \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>Maher argued that many of these activists operate with a warped moral compass.<\/p>\n<p>In his view, they portray themselves as champions of justice while effectively siding with some of the most oppressive cultures on the planet.<\/p>\n<p>He said demonstrators are either unaware of &mdash; or deliberately blind to &mdash; how women and minorities are treated in many Muslim-majority countries.
