HBO host Bill Maher confronted the sudden silence from college activists during Friday’s “Real Time with Bill Maher” as Hamas kills Palestinians in Gaza.
Maher asked guest Mark Cuban about the disappearance of “keffiyeh-wearing college kids” now that Hamas is “shooting everybody.” “Where are the protesters?” Maher said. “Suddenly, the keffiyeh-wearing college kids are very quiet.” Cuban agreed, responding “shooting everybody.” Maher repeated the phrase.
The remarks follow months of student demonstrations that swept American campuses. Protesters chanted anti-Israel slogans and clashed with police. Hundreds faced arrest. Critics argued their Palestinian support crossed from anti-war activism into backing Hamas.
