Bill Maher: Why Is It Okay When Leftwingers Hate the Jews?

Via Legal Insurrection, Joel Stein and Bill Maher try, futilely, to convince Ana Navarro that leftwing antisemtism is worthy of condemnation rather than constant minimization and justification.

Fox News:

"Real Time" host Bill Maher put a spotlight on the lack of condemnation of the growing antisemitism that has erupted on the left in comparison to the country's response to the infamous 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville.

"I got a question. How come it's okay for the left to hate the Jews?" Maher asked on Friday night. "Because, obviously, if this was the people at Charlottesville doing this, wouldn't there be a bigger outcry?"

CNN contributor Ana Navarro responded by saying it's not an "apples to apples" comparison, saying that the "images" of dead children in Gaza are a major factor in the left's activism. But writer Joel Stein insisted the college students currently protesting have "more power" than the "tiki torch IT guys" that were marching in Charlottesville.

"If the people in Charlottesville who were chanting 'Jews won't replace us,' I mean, that's bad. It's not as bad as 'Death to.' That's not deplorable?" Maher exclaimed.

"It's absolutely terrible," Navarro responded.

"Okay, well, if one side is deplorables and the other side does something that's- I mean, if I was a Holocaust survivor, and I guess there's not many of those left, but if I was, I would choose 'Jews will not replace us' over 'Death to Zionists," Maher said.

"There's no condemnation like there was with Charlottesville," he later added.

Last week, Starting at 0:20 here, Bill Maher told Sonny Hostin and the rest of the low-IQ drips of The View that "the conservatives" used to hate the Jews, but now it's the left.

Of course "the conservatives" never hated Jews. There was a small and unpopular -- despised, really -- minority who hated Jews. But of course these fringey people were promoted by Bill Maher's liberal pals as "the face of the right."
