in Vichy France? Or the African National Congress in South Africa during apartheid? Maher sounds like Andrew Jackson complaining about the Indians.

If the US were somehow invaded by a foreign power, would Americans accept a solution where we give up part of our territory? “We just want everything west of the Rockies. But if you don’t stop attacking us we’re going to have to mow the grass again and take everything.”

And anyway, most of the Palestinians would happily accept a peace deal. Unfortunately, Hamas is as violent and extremist as the Likud.

Bill Maher speaks for privilege. He complained for two or three years about how long it took to get the necessary permits and inspections to install his solar power system at his Beverly Hills estate. Oh the trials and tribulations of the one percent!
