Rashida Tlaib Suggests HBO Boycott After Bill Maher Calls Antisemitic BDS Campaign [tr]

FULL TITLE: Rashida Tlaib Suggests HBO Boycott After Bill Maher Calls Antisemitic BDS Campaign a ‘Bulls*it Purity Test’

Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) suggested a boycott of HBO after the network’s host Bill Maher ripped the anti-Israel “boycott, divestment, sanctions” (BDS) movement and called it a “bullshit purity test.” “BDS is a bullshit purity test by people who want to appear woke but actually slept through history class,” Bill Maher said Friday.

“It’s predicated on this notion, I think — it’s very shallow thinking — that the Jews in Israel, mostly white, and the Palestinians are browner, so they must be innocent and correct, and the Jews must be wrong,” the Real Time host continued. “As if the occupation came right out of the blue, that this completely peaceful people found themselves occupied.”

The Michigan Democrat fired back at Maher saying “Maybe folks should boycott his show.”

“I am tired of folks discrediting a form of speech that is centered on equality and freedom,” Rashida Tlaib said. “This is exactly how they tried to discredit & stop the boycott to stand up against the apartheid in S. Africa. It didn’t work then and it won’t now.”

To be clear, Rep. Tlaib has a long history of antisemitism, including opposing Israel’s right to exist. Tlaib also voted against a massacre rejecting the BDS campaign in July. The resolution received overwhelming support in the House of Representatives.

Hah! Over at the Washington Examiner there is an article titled; “Palestinian Authority bans LGBT activities in West Bank” Is Rashida staying out of the West Bank due to this? Will Tlaib and Omar boycott “Palestine” because they outlawed LGBTQP+ activities??? Asking for a friend.

The Left always turns on its own - purges, incarcerations, executions - witness French Revolution, Russian Revolution, Chinese Revolution, Cuban Revolution, etc. etc. etc. And this Democrat Party aspires to the same. But then Tlaib isn’t a leftist as much as she is an Islamist - and Islamists are no better than Leftists when it comes to eliminating their allies when it is their time to consolidate power.

No one should try to offer him a lifeline. People need to know there are consequences for years of trashing us only to realize their ‘allies’ may not be so swell after all.

Can’t boycott what no one watches anyways. Premium cable is a gigantic waste of money. Wanna see a movie, rent it on demand. Otherwise HBO, Showtime and the rest are just rerun crap and original f-bomb soft porn garbage!

“I am tired of folks discrediting a form of speech that is centered on equality and freedom,” Rashida Tlaib said.

She obviously has no sense of irony.

“a ‘Bulls*it Purity Test’ “

Virtue signaling, Bill. Next is violence signaling. They’ll have your head on a pike, idiot. Yeah, you’re that stupid.

Virtue to violence. It’s just a shot away.

How can I boycott HBO if I never watched it? Bill Maher is not as unhinged as Talib...

Even Bill Maher gets it. It’s the Democrats who are standing with bigots and racists, and their damnable media mouthpieces cheer them on. https://t.co/RRArOCKDyz— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) August 17, 2019

Here we go with the ‘equality’ and ‘freedom’ trigger words again. That lumpen bitch wouldn’t know either if they bit her on both ankles.
