On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher said that Democrats have to decide “Are you on the side of Western Civilization and Western values or are you on the side of the terrorists?” And the party won’t be able to move forward until it does so.
While speaking to Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) about Israel and Hamas, Maher said, “What about the younger people in your party, though? How are you going to get them to understand, no matter how many times people like [author and New York Times Contributing Opinion Writer James Kirchick] and I say to them it’s — the world is a complicated place, and it’s not just about oppressor and oppressed. They have a thought in their head that white people did some very bad things — and white people did some very bad things — and they’re all — but so did everybody else in the world. But they don’t know that, they just see the world through this one prism. And until they do, I don’t think you’re going to get them off this issue.”

He continued, “And I don’t think the Democratic Party is going to be able to go forward until they make a decision, whose side are you on here? Are you on the side of Western Civilization and Western values or are you on the side of the terrorists? Are you with those kids? Because Mamdani, he’s the perfect candidate for them. That’s what they think is cool. That’s what the campus protests were.”
Bill Maher gives Trump credit for understanding that ‘Western civilization’ is more positive than the alternative:

Just remember when violence is justified on one side, the other side will use violence too. The British and the Arabs thought that way during the Mandate. What happened? First David Raziel and the Irgun. Then Menachem Begin and the Irgun. What goes around comes around.
