Isn’t Maher Jewish ethnically

Yes, his mother's side, but not sure how long he has known. (checked Wikipedia yesterday)

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.

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.

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.
