Bill Maher interviewed Benjamin Netanyahu. He didn't ask him any questions about his corruption charges, but did ask if Israel planned to 'retaliate' against Kanye West
an apartheid regime, cozied up to one of the most nakedly corrupt presidents in U.S. history in Donald Trump, and proved so corrupt that he was pushed out by his government after being indicted on bribery and fraud charges .
A visibly nervous Maher then went on to conflate American congresspeople’s criticism of the state of Israel and its treatment of the Palestinian people with Kanye West’s antisemitism, before asking Netanyahu: “Are you massacring Palestinians? Are you ethnic cleansing? And are you an apartheid state?”
After a brief pause, Netanyahu replied, “No, no, and no. I mean, these are ridiculous charges against the one democracy in the Middle East. The one democracy that upholds human rights, that defends freedom, and is America’s best ally. So, I think these people should wake up to reality, but I think that’s far too great a hope. It’s not gonna happen… This is fake old news. It goes back thousands of years. We’re not impressed by it.
Netanyahu proceeded to tout the Abraham Accords and brush off a question from Maher about how Trump could be both good to Israel and a “demagogue” who oversaw a “coup” in America, before Maher wished him “mazel tov” on Israel’s upcoming 75th anniversary and “good luck in the election.”
