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."

Handing out boycotts. . . .Guess that is why she was elected by her district. They have got to love her for this since things are going so well there that there is nothing to really worry about, ... in the Trump economy that obozo has claimed credit for being the architect and builder over an 8 year foundation.
Maher is an Irish name; I believe he’s said he was raised Catholic, the reason he decided he was too smart for it and became an atheist.
“This is exactly how they tried to discredit & stop the boycott to stand up against the apartheid in S. Africa...” And look how well it’s turned out in S. Africa, especially for the white citizens, the prime target for the overthrow. It’s no wonder SA is her model for change.
Old Carp Face Tlaib needs a nice hot cuppa get the hell outta my country.
Tlaib is a typical worshiper of the Muslim terroristic blood cult. Left to her own devices, she would kill or enslave Christians, Jews and all others who don’t submit.
Good luck, she has nothing but het giant mouth going for her.
Just when it starts to calm down, Trump tweets some red meat for them to start fighting over again.
I just wish it didn’t always have to be Trump doing it. If any other elected Republican would smack them around on a regular basis even a little, it would help.
Yes, but they can tell their donors - hey it isn't me that's got the voters all riled up about cutting regulations and building a boarder wall and stopping illegal immigration and not squandering treasure buying arms that we expend bootlessly blowing up deserts around the world so that we have to pour more money into the MIC. It's that horrid orange man that was elected by the deplorables that are over-running the country and ruining a wonderful global order.
His father stopped going to church and bringing kids to church when he was 12 or 13. That’s when he found out his mom was Jewish.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Yes, of course, boycott him.
Then he would be Jewish, deriving through the mother. Good call.
That would require Boycotting HBO and it’s parent Company.
Maher’s show is not supported by advertising dollars.
Maher was Irish Catholic until he was a teenager. He denies he is an atheist, but refers to himself as agnostic. His mother was a Jew who’s family was from Hungary.
He was a drug dealer at Cornell.
Good Call? I think the Jewish rules are silly.you should be Jewish because you identify with being jewish, because you embrace judiasm, not because of who gave birth to you. That’s why we Christians have baptism.
Easy now, mad dog; I only meant it was adroit of you to have known that he was born of a Jewish mother, and, according to that religion’s tenets, he was born Jewish. I don’t really want to know your opinion of Judaism and wasn’t offering mine.
I politely state my opinion and you call me a mad dog????
Yep. You chose to misread mine, so, yep.
Go away. I don’t care about you or your opinions or your phony compliments.
