Rashida Tlaib Suggests HBO Boycott After Bill Maher Calls Antisemitic BDS Campaign a ‘Bulls*it Purity Test’
By Jerome Hudson, August 18, 2019:
Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) suggested a boycott of HBO after the network’s host Bill Maher ripped the anti-Israel “boycott, divestment, sanctions” (BDS) movement and called it a “bullshit purity test.”
“BDS is a bullshit purity test by people who want to appear woke but actually slept through history class,” Bill Maher said Friday.
“It’s predicated on this notion, I think — it’s very shallow thinking — that the Jews in Israel, mostly white, and the Palestinians are browner, so they must be innocent and correct, and the Jews must be wrong,” the Real Time host continued. “As if the occupation came right out of the blue, that this completely peaceful people found themselves occupied.”

The Michigan Democrat fired back at Maher saying “Maybe folks should boycott his show.”
“I am tired of folks discrediting a form of speech that is centered on equality and freedom,” Rashida Tlaib said. “This is exactly how they tried to discredit & stop the boycott to stand up against the apartheid in S. Africa. It didn’t work then and it won’t now.”

To be clear, Rep. Tlaib has a long history of antisemitism, including opposing Israel’s right to exist. Tlaib also voted against a massacre rejecting the BDS campaign in July. The resolution received overwhelming support in the House of Representatives.

For the Jews Billy Kristol and Crystol, the term
Kristallnacht is always a kick in the stomach pit.
The shop windows were less made of crystal
than the contents of Jewish department stores.
The Night of the Long Knives is upon us all if we
do not understand what Islam has in store for us.
The incomprehensible thing is that this night has long since
dawned. Every night in Europe now is a night of long knives.
“Funkelndes (sparkling) Kristall”, you find it in
such Jewish names like Garfinkel ->Garfunkel.
Or to put it another way: The only thing that still sparkles in
the once great Europe are the long knives of the Muslims.
Jews often had particularly noble names: Diamond, Edelmann (noble-
man), Rubin (Ruby). The Muslims would love it if their long knives, to
which our blood sticks, were covered with gold and precious stones.
Seems the imam cut the wrong set of lips off this woman.
General Rule – Never interfere when you’re enemies are eating eating each other …
… but in this case, we need to point out that there is a very real danger that the Left-tards will go full anti-Semite if they are allowed to return to power.
J e w i s h folks should take note of this possibility and stop supporting the anti-J e w ish Leftists.
The overwhelming approval of your fellow commentators means
that you must have expressed a “brilliant thought” in their eyes.
Actually, they’re humiliating themselves. But to under-
stand that, they lack the level of maturity. I don’t know
anyone around me who would humiliate himself like that.
Lol. What’s insanely funny is that nobody notices it. All I can say is,
be happy about any false friend who doesn’t pat you on the back!
I love this. Best would be 23 upvotes, that would
prove the complete stupidity of the whole forum.
Do you seriously believe that there is even one “Jew” among
your habitual upvoters? Then you have understood as little
about Judaism as you communicate through your comments.
Are you just responding to yourself over and over again? Pffft! Nice.
Not necessarily … remember … it’s ‘social’ media … many of the upvotes for any of my posts likely express a response to a different post and/or to a greeting or well wishes offered elsewhere …
You and yours have an great week …
Wow, you’re showing greatness
right now. Have a nice week, too.
I don’t know…I didn’t click it but I totally agree with him. That’s why you guys keep getting it wrong. You never account for the silent majority.
Yeah, but I believe the term applicable here is “self-loathing”.
Great point … you and yours have a wonderful week Dose!
Likewise, Dan! 😉
Agreed. Given my personal work ethic and time management habits, I fail to see how to go about being an antisemitic rabble rouser while seeing after the interests of the voters who put me in office.
😉 … What voters? … Other than some government and NGO employees and a few drones driven to the polls … how do we know any American with a valid registration voted for this idjot?
you and yours have an excellent week Drew!

I hope that pretty Jexodus model can convince them or at least pull some of them away from the Demorat plantation.
Maybe we should boycott Palestinian TV. The anti-semitism there is through the roof.
😉 … That would be a great start!
You and yours have an excellent week TD!
Amen … you and yours have a great week Hussars!

Tlaib is a linguistically so illogical name that one has to ask oneself
who invented it. Who sets an L after a T? Normally people have a
feeling for harmony and balance, consonant – vowel – consonant.
An R is easy to pronounce after the K. But an L after the T is ab-
solutely idiotic. The only explanation is the inbreeding of Muslims.
You might as well put an F after the M.
Or vice versa. The first letter has no time ans space to
express itself, but is “swallowed” by the following letter.
The only exception I know is the language
of the Maya, Aztecs, Toltecs. “Xicotl” or so.
Tlaib (why not Ltaib?) Perhaps this is the term used to
describe diseases that are particularly difficult to treat.
To compare the name P-a-m-e-l-a G-e-l-l-e-r. Every letter is
in harmony, no consonants collide and create discords. Es-
pecially pleasant for our ears are names with many vowels.
Although “violence” is something terrible,
the word is less aggressive than “Tlaib”.
I’m a great fan of “Klaus Schulze”. But which mother
chooses a name for her son, where two S’s collide?
“Jean Michel Jarre” … there the
melody already lies in the name.
“National Socialist Workers Party” What normal
person can identify with it? There were millions.
“Tel Aviv” sounds nice, “Jerusalem”
perfect. That names are pure love.
The wonderful “Casablanca” in Arabic “ad-Dār al-bayḍā”.

I don’t think “we all want the same things.”
We have always been at war with Eastasia.
This “grandmother” looks like a
ghost from James Wan’s movies.

f’k you bit*h!
Typical moslema reaction:
”I don’t like it,….cut his head.”
This nut has been off her meds way too long.
The Jews will still continue to vote for the anti-American pro-Islamic Democrat party. Words fail me.
Brabra Streisand joos that is..
Like any other people, there are stupid joos also..
As has been said: For too many, Leftist first & Jewish second ( if at all ). Ideology trumps reason. Party loyalty supersedes sanity. Apparently.
Over 95% of the 56 million Americans that voted for Hillary in 2016 were not Jewish. Of the roughly 1.5 to 2 million Jewish voters that chose Clinton, most live in heavily Blue States (CA, NY, IL, MA, NJ). Even without a single jewish vote, Hillary would have still won those states. Jews may play a prominent role in politics but due to their small number and concentration in solidly Blue states, they have no impact on the Presidential electoral college results. Despite this fact, its the voting behavior of liberal jews that you question. How is that not anti-semitic?
Already did.
What an oxygen thief that douche is….
So, there is a spark of real decency in Bill Maher after all.
Ever heard the term “abuse of power”? Or taking unfair advantage of a situation? You’re looking at its ugly ass.
Who wants to defeat Trump? – Iran, China, ISIS, Al Qaeda, Omar, Tlaib, Hollywood, showbiz, crooked & Co
The ALMIGHTY GOD is working HIS punishment on us Americans for allowing the murdering of our newborns…GOD is allowing this by allowing these evil muslims into our Government…
So sit back and watch HIS punishments, as they destroy us…
Prayer for the faithful is soooo important right now, cause HIS punishments have only began…
Radical Muslims and radical liberals always sabotage democracy anyway they can. Islam and liberalism are both anti-establishment radical and revolutionary. They are authoritarian, totalitarian and employ economic terrorism. If you criticize either one’s ideology they accuse you of a phobia and try to BDS you. Both non-Christian mindsets undermine self-governance and Republican government. Freedom is only seen as matches and fuel
to burn our system down & build totalitarian socialist empires on the ashes and on top of our graves.
For a member of a democratic republican government she shows the intolerance of the Left where a different opinion is treated almost as treason.
“Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views.” – William F. Buckley, Jr.
You don’t agree with your baker’s opinion about a baseball team you organise a boycott. You don’t agree with your mechanic’s political views you organise a boycott. Instead of changing channels because you don’t agree with a commentator you organise a boycott the network. Isn’t that how the Brown Shirts and the Black Shirts did things during the time of Hitler and Mussolini?
From what I recall they also employed guns and lots of intimidation. The left in America and Europe have made a fatal mistake which will lead to their demise. They don’t control the military, the police or guns. Show me a past or present nation ruled by socialists and I will show you a country where the Leftists control the military, the police and guns. Still not convinced? China, N Korea, Venezuela and Cuba come to mind. Substitute the word “leftist” with “Islamist” and simply add Iran and several other muslim countries to this list.
Maher for the first time in his existence has made a very profound point. The contrast between the poverty and chaos of the so-called “Palestinians” is not a matter of race but purely cultural and clearly illustrates the backwardness, degeneracy, darkness of Islamic culture when compared to the Jewish culture of Israel. Here is a perfect example of the glaring backwardness of Islam compared to the West. Perhaps, this is the greatest fear the Muslims have of Israel, that its existence is a clear illustration that their way of life is obsolete and backward and in great need of being replaced.
A very astute observation by you Sir! I think Maher which usually is your garden variety arrogant/obnoxious liberal, just went with a healthy combination of knowing the facts, common sense, fairness and a dash of defiance against the Tyrannical “progressive” steam roller, that is the US left
To his credit, Maher has a very sober opinion about Islam in general which he consistently criticizes, making him one of the less brain dead MSM talking heads out there…
There will never be peace for the world or prosperity for the unfortunate inhabitants of Muslim nations until they come to the realization that it is not the Jews or the Christians that are responsible for their poverty, backwardness and chaos but their cursed cult.
She’s one ugly woman!
Her “smiles” never touch her eyes.
She’s exploiting the term “person of color”.
she looks pretty white to me like Elizabeth Warren.
Oh wait. Have you noticed Rashida has been looking more tan lately? compared to her other videos.
I wonder if she is tanning herself deliberately to look less white.
Well, because he’s (“half”) Jewish. D’oh!
Boycott HBO? Does anyone watch it? LOL! HBO is so mired in political garbage and SJW nonsense I haven’t watched them for years! I mean…it’s not a “boycott” per se…I just won’t go watch all that garbage.
Will the left forgive Maher’s brief lapse into lucidity? Given this wasn’t his first time, that his show remains on HBO provides the answer.
I BOYCOTT SHABY every chance I can! I cannot stand a LIAR. This muslema fits under the heading of prevaricator. I do not care for Bill Mahr’s shows, however, every now and then THE LIGHT SHINES THROUGH!
A person would think that Free Speech, Different Opinions would not cause a member of congress to boycott someone who disagrees with her. Now I wonder if these criminals masquerading as members of congress will ever be held accountable?
Picture the poor person that wakes up and see that thing in bed with them. It would be an eternal reoccurring nightmare.
“Boycott the motherf****r!”
When one holds reverence to the shackles of foolish pride in both race and religion, then clearly the requirements of naturalization have FAILED and subject to citizenship revocation and deportation. Clearly such individuals are further unqualified to REPRESENT FREEDOM in the halls of Congress as free will, by forced “submission” are nothing more than dictates of human behavior AGAINST FREE WILL and is neither TOLERATED or acceptable.
Having said that, the consequences of defiance are inconsequential and sound like a obstinate whining child, INCAPABLE OF TRUTH and REASON.
TRUTH:
Straight out the gate, as it were, we are all shackled to the BONDAGE of our flesh.
We did not sit before God to choose
1. Parents.
2. Gender.
3. RACE/CULTURE.
4. Country of origin.
5. RELIGION or the lack thereof.
Overcoming these shackles are not for the faint of heart nor a slothful MIND. Which brings scripture to mind, “NOT by power nor by might, but by my SPIRIT says the LORD OF HOSTS” are HOW these shackles are BROKEN.
Which begs the question for me as a woman, what KIND of man would hear a wife call her husband “lord” of her own free will as Sara called Abraham? A brutish self centered WILLFUL man? Or a careful, considerate and thoughtful man who LOVES GOD BEFORE SELF?
What does that say about a woman’s ability to recognize such QUALITY to BEGIN with?
Time to boycott these muslims or hang them!!!! Hanging is more suitable.
We sholdl boycott the Democrats.
They have been trying to destroy the United States since 1860!
