Michael Eric Dyson stating that you should protest without demonizing the other side is pretty rich. Anybody else see his debate with Jordan Peterson, where the best he could do was to call him a "mean white man"?

Note to audience members: Maturity is knowing when to applaud and when not to.

I really appreciated the thoughtful and respectful exchange between Michael Eric Dyson and Bill Maher on this topic. I think in some ways they were talking past one another, as Dyson is calling for a moral paradigm where Palestinian and Israeli lives are equally valued while Maher is questioning the realism of that paradigm in light of the threat of Hamas (which values neither Israeli nor Palestinian lives) which needs to be eradicated and can’t be without civilian casualties. This kind of exchange is one we need more of on tv, where most media is either reflexively anti-Israel or pro-Israel without asking the deeper questions these two do here.

Perfect open honest exchange about Hamas v Israel. Wish more debates were as well worded as this.

The over clapper yeller guy is back at it

Was hoping Bill Burr would show up with a cigar 😂

"What war did we ever have, where they were only killing the soldiers?" ~ Bill Maher That one comment stood out to me. Was there ever a better condemnation of the whole idea of 'war'?

As soon as i saw Dyson I had to just hit pause. Wasnt that man considered irrelevant a few years back after making a fool of himself?

It's my Dad's quote,"There are no winners in war,only Survivors." Dad was in the Army for thirty years and was in Medivac from the early fifties. He knew what the true face of war looked like.

Still hate the overclapper.

How can a Judge do its job if it has political affiliations? They shouldn't be allowed to vote.

"War is hell, people die", is only ever uttered by those who are assuredly distant from it.

Fuck this. I'm gonna watch re-runs with Christopher Hitchens.

The trained seals constantly clapping is cringe-worthy.

Parachuting into Woodstock with machine guns is what this was! Imagine.

Finally! It's been months since anyone has been on this show to dispute Maher's snark (and smacking mouth) regarding any Israel/Gaza topic (history, apartheid, war crimes, protests, strategy, solution...). It's as tho there's been a vetting of anyone touching Maher's third rail here- to include the audience. Thank you to the decent folks who got Dyson onto this stage! Many MANY Thanks to Dr Dyson!

Michael Eric Dyson has a distinct skill in saying a lot of words without saying anything at all.

Traditionally, the American flag should never be hung upside down "except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property" according to the U.S Flag Code.

The last time you’ll see Michael Eric Dyson on the show you can’t question bill’s bullshit

Protesters need to be accountable, and proud of what they are protesting, NOT concealing their identity behind a face mask/scarf. If you don't want to be seen and identified for what you believe in, stay home.

Paid Clappers and Laughers is really annoying

Where's Bill Burr?

If Israel wanted to stop the tunnels, they could have tunneled under Gaza themselves, built bases and set up seismometers. Tunneled along the border and stopped the smuggling at the source. They could have not paid Hamas with cash suitcases. Could have listened to their own squad of women who watched the border of Gaza.

How can you tell who is Hamas? Do they were uniforms?

Gotta say this was the most underwhelming guest and panelists in a long time.

Can a lawyer or legal expert PLEASE explain to me why/how is it not a rule that a judge on a case must recuse themselves if the defendant before them gave them the judgeship?

Finally. It's taken this long for this show to have a guest who is prepared to say that the lives of Palestinians have value equivalent to that of an Israeli.

"Do you think you know better than the Israeli Defense Force"...😮 This from the supposed conscience of American liberalism, I guess the army and government always know best and people should just shut up and not worry their pretty heads. Unbelievable, talk about horseshoe theory

Man, that show was a snoozefest.

I wonder if the audience would "woo" and clap if someone in the panel farted.

Protests without achievable goal, are not protests, but are actions of futility.

People who protested were arrested!

Dyson is unbearable

Bill, dating apps is meant to choose people in person based on common affinities. Of course you meet them in person and smell their breath.

9:45 General Maher has FINALLY solved this conflict!!! Congrats everyone!

"But I could of told you Vincent This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you"

"War does not determine who is right - only who is left." - Bertram Russel

2 million slaughtered in Yemen. Syria, Sudan. Libya, Iraq, Somalia etc.- no one ever saw Jews slaughtering each other . It tells you a great deal about the difference between the two cultures/faiths. I have no doubt that the Yazidis and the Kurds would tell you that their women and children were slaughtered by the adherents to the prophet

Bull. Honestly stop acting like a general. Where is bull burr at when u need him lol

“If not objectivity, at least fairness”. What do you even mean? Define “fairness if there is no objectivity”?

Love you Bill, keep standing up for what’s right !!!

Even the UN acknowledges that the typical civilian to combatant ratio is 90%. The professor is holding Israel to a higher standard.

25% of Overtime is people clapping

Bill Maher needs to host David Patraeus as a guest to talk about counterinsurgency and the Israeli war on Gaza since 2007.

One wonders what Maher thinks of the thousands of Israelis protesting this war.

Excellent show! I agree with both sides as my critical thinking skills have greatly diminished over time.

And Bill just wrote a book about not being stupid about shit, not being too one sided, while being incredibly one sided. 😂

the brunette lady reminds me of Ana Gasteyer in the 'schwetty balls' skit on snl

Thank you Michael for making this argument "sane". Come on Bill!

Put Bill Maher on our southern border, he's a giant wall of ignorance. Yeh, but i still watch him.

Bill doesn’t understand that there’s a difference between a scorched earth policy and surgical military operations.

Lamest panel so far this year

You cannot justify genocide with more genocide.

Let the man finish, Bill.

The shows have not been great this season.

His live studio has the lamest seal clappers ever.

He is quoting the Hamas casualties numbers which have recently been found by the UN (!) to be twice the real number, include the Hamas terrorists, and represent a historical low in civilians : combatants killed, even in modern warfare. And the operation is extremely difficult, since urban warfare is inherently more complex, and there’s the vast tunnel system, and Hamas purposely hiding behind their civilians (in and under hospitals, schools, and private homes), and the fact of the hostages.

Playing nice is a horrible strategy to win a war.

The Baby Boomer of it all. 👶🏼🙄

Violence in protests is not okay. Disrupting people's education is not okay.

Bill makes fun of Vivek and then agrees with his idea of opposing and prasing that DEI is not popular....Bill you can thank Vivek for that. Even the lady in the green said exact same thing that Vivek has been saying....DEI has nothing to do with profit and private businesses...this is the main reason he started speaking against it and wrote a book about it called Woke Inc....and now it's very popular to say so. And another topic Vivek was so vehemently ahead of time and advocating was about confused kids...it was about stopping medical intervention when they are confused. Just because they are confused about their sex doesn't mean surgery to fix the problem....Vivek deserves a lot of credit!

So nice to see someone get the best of Bill. Dyson made a good argument, but Maher wasn't having any of it.

Have you ever had a conversation with someone who asks you a question, then doesn't listen, interjects repeatedly and is never swayed? Bill Maher

Well, Bill...I always agreed with you that some can't hold two thoughts in their heads at the same time. Regarding Gaza, you are having the same problem.

The UN just admitted that the Hamas number of 35000 people killed is incorrect..The number is half that they have said

The debates Need to have a real time FACT CHECKER in addition to mic silence.

Bill is wonderful in debate. His ability to interrupt and talk at a higher volume than anyone who opposes him always wins me over.

michael eric dyson uses a million words to beat around the bush and not really say anything

0:36 "re-jigger" lololololololol

It was the South Carolina gerrymander that Alito and friends defended. While they recognized it was an obvious gerrymander, they decided it wasn't racially motivated, but instead motivated by partisanship. Ridiculous! (And obscene.)

wow Bill figured out how to have peace in the middle east its that simple amazing what a genius

Love this!!! Intelligent conversation with agreement and disagreement while remaining respectful and courteous!!!

Netanyahu has a personal agenda as well. Right wing politician, propped up by more extreme groups, trying to stay in power and out of jail.

This is the best group of panelists Bill has had in a while. Because they show the side of narrow mindless out there.

If you want to see Michael Dyson's logic in full force, just youtube his monk debate with Jordan Peterson. It shows his ability to think is contrasted by his use of big words.

Bill please do a New Rules on Project 2025, Americans need to know about this and how dangerous it is.

A Supreme Court Justice's wife is so triggered by a neighbor's yard sign to the point of treason?! What does it say about her husband, Samuel Alito?! TERM LIMITS.

It’s called a WAR!!

Maher cannot seem to grasp that there is a difference between supporting Hamas and supporting the Palastinian people who are being slaughtered.

I saw the thumbnail and thought you had Marjorie Taylor Green on!

How about EVERYBODY stop WARS EVERY WHERE.

"What war did we have where we were only killing the soliders" - just because something has happened doesn't meant it's good. Targeting of civilians is a war crime. The indiscriminate bombings of Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria have not produced beneficial outcomes for the US and have all but ensured terrorist, Islamist, and totalitarian supremacy in those regions because it engendered a fundamental distrust towards the US. The civilian massacres of the Vietnam War certainly didn't help the US win that conflict. An attack on civilians during the Gulf War by the US coalition was used by Hussein to garner support from other countries though he was thankfully unsuccessful. In World War II the Blitz didn't lead to British surrender but likewise the bombing of German urban centres did nothing but kill German civilians - it was only when military infrastructure was targeted (particularly the oil supplies for German tanks) that any ground was gained. History says we have killed civilians in wars, and it has never been helpful or justified at a strategic level, let alone a moral one. But Bill doesn't like moral nuance for all he claims other people don't see nuance when it's about things that affect him.

🇺🇸💙🇺🇸• Interesting Debate between Michael Eric Dyson & Bill Maher on Israel & Hamas War*** In spite of their differences*** the both of them have shown mutual respect for each other views*** This credit for the Bill Maher Show is given •🇺🇸💙🇺🇸

I thought the NY Times was embarrassed by their obvious lack of credibility these days....and then there's Dyson! 🥴

The one disturbing piece was Maher's comment basically saying we can't question the IDF's expertise and actions because they know more about war than we do. Did he use that reasoning for Covid and the scientists? Of course not. You don't just bow down to the experts. You have to be able to question power and that's what's happening here with Gaza, however you come down on the issue.

Michael Eric Dyson knows a lot of words, he just doesn’t know what any of them mean.

Did he say "ketanji Jackson brown"? 😂😂😂

This Professor is Holding a class and not saying what he means. Really making sure to keep his job…..😂

Thank gosh for BM!! He wouldn’t fall for the verbal nonsense from Dyson!😊

This Dyson guy is a 'distinguished prof' of what???🤣

Managed 2 minutes. See you

Where's Bill Burr when you need him? General Maher strikes again.

"Protests are supposed to be uncomfortable... unless it's against the results of the last election."

Thank you for your more clarity Bill.

Thank you Bill. ❤

If you want to know how to walk around a question you want to avoid answering. Look no further then Dyson. Not only has he mastered it but he can make himself sound smart as helling doing so.

today there are 10million. starving Yemen they are fighting with Saudi Arabia for nine years WHY DOESN'T ANYONE MARCH FOR THEM

Was a great back and forth with Bill & MED

HEATED

5:36 the difference between a protest and a riot is violence. That is the difference between people trying to bring attention to an issue in order to start real change and a rabble. The moment they are destructive or violent they stop being protesters and become criminals.
