 Hey @billmaher, you mock organized religion for blind faith—yet mock students protesting genocide after losing family in Gaza & the West Bank. Blind loyalty to Israel isn’t “real time,” it’s real hypocrisy. Compassion isn’t a cult. #Gaza #FreePalestine #BillMaher

Disappointed in Your Double Standards
Dear Mr. Maher,
As someone who has followed your work and appreciated your advocacy for free speech and critical thinking, I feel compelled to express my deep disappointment in your recent commentary.
You have long been a vocal critic of organized religion—a stance you’re well within your rights to hold. But when it comes to the humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in Gaza, your treatment of Palestinian students and protesters on U.S. campuses reveals a troubling double standard.
These are young people, many of whom have lost friends and family to the ongoing violence in Gaza—violence documented by international human rights groups and increasingly described as collective punishment, if not outright genocide. Yet, instead of extending them the empathy you often claim is lacking in public discourse, you mock their grief and diminish their cause.
You condemn religion for its hypocrisies, but what about your own? If you genuinely stand for truth, justice, and the right to question power, then I urge you to examine why your satire targets the powerless far more than those actually wielding force.
Your platform reaches millions. Please use it to advocate for humanity—consistently.
