Bill Maher to Kamala Harris: ‘Just Shut Up’ About Israel, Calls Critics of Jewish State ‘Full of S—t’

Real Time host Bill Maher recently criticized Vice President Kamala Harris, declaring her comments on Middle East policy “full of s—.”

During a panel discussion on Friday, Maher addressed what many believe to be Israel’s covert operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon, which reportedly resulted in numerous casualties among terrorist operatives.

Maher specifically took issue with Harris’s statements regarding post-war plans for Gaza, which included pledges of “no reoccupation of Gaza” and the need for security in the region. He reacted sharply, saying, “If that’s what you have to say, don’t say anything. Just shut up.”

He emphasised his frustration with the political rhetoric surrounding the conflict, asserting that while no one desires civilian casualties, the situation’s complexities are often overlooked.

The comedian pointed out the stark divide in perspectives, noting that one side advocates for a two-state solution while the other employs terrorism to achieve its objectives. “People keep saying Israel has the right to defend itself, and then whatever Israel does, they object to it,” he stated.

Despite his critical remarks, Maher backs Harris in the upcoming November election, predicting her success following her recent debate against former President Trump. He expressed confidence, stating, “I think it’s over,” and drawing historical parallels to past political figures who once held significant influence but eventually diminished.

Maher’s comments have ignited discussions about U.S. foreign policy and its implications as the election approaches, highlighting the complexities of international relations amid ongoing conflict.
