Bill Maher, liberal host of HBO’s “Real Time,” slammed anti-Israel activists and the media on Friday for their support of the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which is designed to destroy Israel.
Maher’s comments come after Israel barred anti-Semitic Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) from entering their country last week after the two far-left members of Congress planned to meet with groups that support terrorism against Israel and have promoted neo-Nazis screeds.
