Better a comedian turned troll as a brain surgeon of opinion..

Maher, in this clip, stays at a safe distance from the real issue, which is that the Palestinian cause is just, even if the tactics of Hamas are not. The fact is that, starting in 1948, Israelis pushed, harassed, elbowed, and bullied Palestinians off their land, and the construction of the illegal Jewish settlements in Gaza and the West Bank are just more of the same. So the students who are protesting the continued Israeli bombing of Gaza have a valid point. But instead of acknowledging that, Maher goes off on higher education at large. It's a rather chicken-shit position. Yes, college students can be rather ridiculous. So what? That's nothing new. But working on a college education is still a worthwhile, broadening experience. Bill, you're all wet!

Sorry. I don't agree with this one. The history they don't know about is the "apartheid" imposed on Palestine by Israel. I agree with the letter if that's what it says. And that does not mean that I condone the attack by Hamas! However, I do agree with the rest of his comments about colleges. By the way, the secret elite cult, "Skull and Bones" is an institution found only at elite Universities, especially right-wing Yale! I would be remiss if I didn't add that even Barack Obama was a member.
