In a fiery monologue on his show "Real Time," Bill Maher delivered a scathing critique of college anti-Israel protesters on Friday night. Maher described them as self-involved, ill-informed, and primarily unemployed narcissists. He expressed disbelief at the protesters' lack of knowledge about the Israeli-Hamas conflict, which he deemed "breathtaking."

Maher particularly targeted those demonstrators who are blocking roads and bridges, as well as causing disruptions on college campuses. He humorously remarked that those who view Israel as an apartheid country are simply crazy, offering his own evidence to counter their claims.

The popular TV host compiled a list of countries that these protesters seem to be conveniently ignoring, countries that subject women and minorities to subjugation and target the LGBTQ community for persecution and death. Maher emphasized the hypocrisy of these activists focusing solely on Israel while turning a blind eye to other, arguably more oppressive regimes.

In the video of his monologue, Maher drew a striking parallel between the protesters and former President Trump, labeling them as "very Trumpy." While he did not elaborate on the specific reasons for this comparison, it seems to imply that these protesters exhibit similar characteristics of being ill-informed, self-serving, and lacking a comprehensive understanding of complex issues.

Maher's critique has sparked a heated debate among viewers, with some applauding his candid assessment of the protesters, while others accuse him of oversimplifying the situation and dismissing legitimate concerns about Israeli policies.

As the conflict between Israel and Hamas continues to escalate, opinions on the matter remain sharply divided. However, Maher's vocal condemnation adds another dimension to the ongoing discourse surrounding the protests and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a whole.
