Just like how I would say giving support for Israel and “people who support genocide” in the same basket is extreme left wing.

That doesn’t make sense. The right wing supports Israel’s actions against the Palestinians and the left wing opposes it.

The right wing support Israel’s to defend itself* but that’s entire different conversation.

We are talking about extremes. By calling him a right wing nut, you are implying that Maher is an extremist which isn’t the case

I think everyone supports their right to defend themselves, but you are either ignorant or worse when you don’t recognize that what Israel is doing is not self defense: it’s ethnic cleansing and a genocide. It’s an insult to the memory of the Jews that suffered the holocaust.

Yeah, Bill Maher saying the students are supporting Hamas, is extremely right wing. I’ll agree to disagree.
