MODERATORS
I have no idea what they are trying to say.
They're saying Israel is a US Colony and that Athiests are frauds, particularly Bill Maher for quoting the bible.
Personally, I think OP and this Medhi Hasan guy can fuck right off, Religion is literally the cause of all of this and thousands of years of conflict in that region on top of that.
Not "atheists". "The New Atheists": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Atheism
And he's not saying that Israel is a US colony, at all. He's saying Zionism as an ideology is centred around colonialism in the classic British sense of the word, e.g. "take other people's shit by force".
Frankly, Mehdi isn't wrong here. Using a religious text as a source for historical information to excuse the genocide in Gaza is antithetical to what Maher says he stands for and makes a hypocrite of him.
