Maher lists "individual liberties, scientific inquiry, rule of law, religious freedom, women's rights, human rights, democracy, trial by jury, freedom of speech" - all these ideals can be found in today's Israel and "virtually nowhere else in the Middle East."
As for the claim that Israel is a colonizer for existing, he says the state was established by the United Nations. "Gaza wasn't seized by Israel, like India or Kenya was by the British Empire, and the partitioning of the region wasn't decided by Jews, but by a vote of the United Nations. But apparently they don't teach this at drag-queen story hour anymore."
The clip is full of his signature killer lines.
He asks a great question for anti-American, anti-Western political and academic activists: "Why is it that every other culture gets a pass, but the West is exclusively the sum of the worst things it has ever done?"
