Bill Maher says Islam and Christianity are \u2018warlike religions\u2019 but Israel \u2018kicked ass\u2019 in its \u2018little war\u2019<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Bill Maher confesses that his anti-religious movie Religulous cut Judaism a break. And states that the Israelis show restraint toward Palestinians.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Jewish Journal<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span>:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I mean it’s [Judaism is] certainly not as dangerous as Islam and Christianity. Those are warlike religions.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And here’s his take on the Middle East, praising war:\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve never hid the fact that I don\u2019t think it\u2019s a conflict where both sides are equally guilty. I\u2019m more on the side of the Israelis; that\u2019s why Benjamin Netanyahu did my show a few years ago, before he was Prime Minister…<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

HJ: Why are you more on the side of Israelis?<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

BM:<\/span><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0Take this conflict; here, everyone in the newspapers, the pundits, they talk about it like it\u2019s very complicated. It\u2019s not that complicated: Stop firing rockets into Israel and perhaps they won\u2019t annihilate you. I mean, it\u2019s so crazy when you look at these images on TV. Ok, they just had a little war. It lasted a week like most Israeli wars do; the Israelis lost a handful of people, shot down most of the rockets, and the neighborhoods in Gaza are devastated. They\u2019re rubble. They lost over 1,000 people and yet somehow Palestinians are celebrating in the streets? I don\u2019t get this celebrating when you just totally got your ass kicked.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

HJ: The Atlantic journalist Jeffrey Goldberg pointed out that many in the media tend to point out the disproportionate casualty count between Israelis and Palestinians, and he wisely wondered if there is a moral difference between attempted murder and successful murder.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

BM:<\/span><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0It\u2019s obvious that Israelis, in all of their battles with the Palestinians, show restraint. Because they have nuclear weapons. And if the situation was reversed, I don\u2019t doubt for a second that Palestinians would fire them immediately. They\u2019d use the maximum of what they have available and the Israelis don\u2019t.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
