HBO Host John Oliver Slammed for ‘Comparing Israel to Nazis’ in ‘Shameful’ Monologue
Breitbart ^ | 07/30/2024 | Joshua Klein

Left-wing HBO comedian John Oliver is facing backlash for “comparing Israel to the Nazis” while criticizing the Jewish State and its policies during a “shameful” rant.

During his Last Week Tonight show on Sunday, Oliver criticized Israel and its supposedly selective use of the “never again” slogan in current policies.

At one point during the segment, the longtime host highlighted a frequently cited slogan associated with with the Jewish State, stating, “A phrase that gets brought up a lot with regard to Israel is ‘never again’, an anti-genocide slogan often invoked in memory of the Holocaust and it has always been open to two interpretations.”

I thought Oliver was one of the house liberals.

Why isn’t he going after the Spanish government? All of Spain is stolen from Arabs.

Take your pick. But don’t pick A (it’s wrong).

A. Oliver is trying to be fair, but he failed here.
B. Oliver has his marching orders: Slam Israel!
C. Oliver is antisemitic, and he let it slip out.
D. Both B and C.

I’ll go with B. But D is not out of the question.

John Oliver should criticize his own country. The UK has less freedoms than the US. Maybe that’s why he is in the U.S. They would have arrested him for his big mouth.

I don’t think he needs marching orders per se. He knows what the program is.

while we always knew there were some closet haters ... the Biden regime’s enabling them out and onto Center Stage of our politics and in the “news” cycles... is Satanic divide=and-conquer “identity politics” at its worst

No they wouldn’t. He says exactly the sort of things they believe in too. Oliver despises his ‘own’ country and has frequently criticized it. I suspect, however, that his criticisms will now die down now that the socialists are back in power.
