2023-10-21
Avast ye scurvy dogs! 'Twas on a recent telly affair, HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher," where host Bill Maher did thunderously thrash them fancy Ivy League dens for spawnin' these anti-Israeli troublemakers. Arr, those landlubber scholars be walkin' the plank, they be!
In a humorous tone reminiscent of a 17th-century pirate, HBO host Bill Maher criticized Ivy League universities for their alleged "indoctrination" and advised young people to avoid attending these schools. Maher pointed out the rise of antisemitic rallies and statements in academia following Hamas' attack on Israel and showed images of pro-Palestinian demonstrations at Harvard University. He mockingly stated that attending elite colleges makes people "stupid" and accused higher education of becoming a breeding ground for bad ideas, including the simplistic notion that the world is a binary place of oppressors and oppressed. Maher highlighted the double standards of many elite college students who support Hamas terrorists while also claiming that words are violence and silence is violence. He emphasized the importance of maintaining the moral high ground and criticized pro-Palestine student groups at Harvard for their lack of knowledge and understanding. Maher humorously described college life as a combination of a day spa and a North Korean re-education camp, stating that ignorance is rampant in these institutions. He even compared Harvard Yard to the Wuhan wet market, jokingly suggesting that ignorance is a disease. Harvard President Claudine Gay released a video statement condemning terrorism and hate, reiterating the university's rejection of harassment and intimidation based on beliefs.
