Bill Maher has a message for the activist clowns who have engaged in blocking traffic during the left’s ongoing national temper tantrum over Israel’s war on Hamas.
Maher, an old-school liberal with little tolerance for the “woke” left, devoted the “New Rules” segment of the latest edition of his HBO show “Real Time With Bill Maher” to those who have shut down bridges and roads to demand a ceasefire in Gaza.

“Someone needs to tell the people who block traffic in the name of a cause, no one likes you,” Maher said. “And you’re probably hurting your cause.”
“In case you haven’t seen what’s going on lately, activists for ending the war in Gaza have taken to gathering on roads and bridges and stopping commuters from crossing,” he said. “It happened last week in New York and San Francisco, Chicago, Seattle. They also blocked traffic here on the 405 but no one noticed.”
What they did notice was this,” Maher continued. “That you have to be pretty dumb to think that the way to bring people around to your point of view is to make them late to pick up their kids from daycare.”
“And that’s what most normies are thinking. ‘I have a kid. I have a job, and yes, I’m sure there are injustices on both sides in the Middle East as there are injustices all over the world, but I’m going to be late for work,’ something you protesters on the bridge seemed to have the luxury of not having to worry about, which seems kind of privilegey,” he said.

“You can glue your hands to the street because your hands don’t have to do any work today,” he quipped. “I’m not saying there aren’t sincere passions about Gaza, especially among people from the region, but social justice warriors- for a lot of them, it seems like it’s more about the warrioring than about whatever the cause is,” the comic and social critic added.
“If you really cared about apartheid so much, which Israel does not actually practice- Arabs there vote, they serve in Parliament, they sit on the Judiciary- wouldn’t you start with this?” he asked, showing an image of a burka-clad woman next to a uniformed man.
“With the hundreds of millions of women in the world who live under a true apartheid, a gender apartheid of the most brutal kind?” Maher continued. “Are you really speaking truth to power or do you just think you look cool in a keffiyeh, which is really just the new Che Guevara t-shirt, another historical figure you’d never researched and so think is a hero who was actually a sadistic racist monster fighting for communism, the worst form of government ever, but these are small matters.”
“Small matters, when activism merges with narcissism. Less about the cause and more about ‘Me, look at me, watch me and if you liked the way I’m fighting injustice, remember to like and subscribe,’” he said.
