Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) late Saturday suggested that viewers should boycott comedian Bill Maher’s late-night HBO show over his vehement criticism of the international movement to boycott Israel.
Tlaib, who was denied entry to Israel last week over her support of the movement, said that she was "tired of folks discrediting a form of speech that is centered on equality and freedom."
“This is exactly how they tried to discredit & stop the boycott to stand up against the apartheid in S. Africa,” Tlaib added. “It didn't work then and it won't now.”
**SNIP**
Omar and Tlaib, who became the first Muslim women sworn into Congress in January, have been outspoken critics of Israel during their time in office. The two have also supported the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel, voting against a congressional resolution to condemn it earlier this year.
Maher on Friday voiced strong criticism of the BDS movement on HBO's "Real Time," calling it a "a bullshit purity test by people who want to appear woke but actually slept through history class."

Full title - Tlaib suggests boycotting Maher show after he calls anti-Israel boycott movement 'bulls--- purity test'
Maher is a jerk.
Yup. Pretty much sums it up.
Isn’t Maher Jewish ethnically?
Ya, but is he a Jew? Because if he is, Tlaib hates him.
And she hates all the other Jews in the media, democrat party (I know, redundant) and Hollywood.
You’d think they’d wise up to this, but they won’t.
It’s good to see these Leftists go at each other. Stir the pot!
Libs are cannibalistic little people. Kind of like dingoes in Australia. Just not as selective on what they eat. Maher will give them gas.

Question:
How many of the “squad” will be re-elected in 2020???
Yes, his mother's side, but not sure how long he has known. (checked Wikipedia yesterday)
Not in this case.
So are we...
It’s one of the few good things about him.
At least he gets it right on Israel.
Now how about getting it right in your own country.
John Stewart is Jewish too. His last name is Leibowitz.
One should be proud of one’s name.
Reminds me of the Italian crooners who changed their names to sound more American. I guess that mattered at the time.
whereas I agree with Maher RARELY, I NEVER agreed with stuart.
With all of the pandering the Democrats have done, it was only a matter of time before they turned on each other.
Jews who don’t accept what is coming at them, will figure it out when its too late. There is no peace from the other side, just rockets. In the past there may have been some small sliver of time when Israel could have played it better. But we will never know. What we do know is that many Palestinians want Jews dead.
Tlai
The hate is strong in this one. It will destroy her, as it does everyone who sees life from a hate-filled perspective.
Mama Hated Diesels, too but she dont call for no boycott- (whatever that is)
I wonder what brand of popcorn everyone is using to watch this crap show of two liberal Democrats fighting amongst themselves? I like Oraville’s extra butter.
I LUV it when the Libs turn on each other.
