Overtime: Michael Eric Dyson, Pamela Paul, Nellie Bowles | Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO)

Bill and his guests continue their conversation after the show.

[@lets-be-rational]

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"?

[@dragolax]

I sincerely hope Maher just isnt aware of that debate cuz theres really no defending having Dyson on your show

Peterson is a word salad religiot.

[@pandaloon6083]

"We've had classic -- if i can call it -- huckstering, snake oil, pulpit talk." The look on Dyson's face proves that Fry touched nerve and was too close to the truth.

[@traviscutler9912]

People aren't "uncomfortable" with comedy, they're uncomfortable with what the ICJ (international criminal justice court) is a " plausible genocide". Also, let's keep in mind that ANTIFA stands for anti fascist. Only on Bill Maher could you condemn people defending themselves from violent attacks by "proud boys", Boogaloo boys &all the other white Christian nationalists?!?!?!

[@jamesconway5497]

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.

[@DiannaLora]

It was legit and REAL debate!! Yes!

[@kab649]

Beautifully said!

[@tsfurlan]

Exactly right

[@fastenit27]

I think Maher's position was: historically our country has gone to war and accepted civilian causalities as part of a larger goal. I'll take Maher's position for him for the sake of a deeper discussion and understanding. During WWII, Germany's goal was rid the world of Jews and take over Europe and beyond. The US engaged to stop them. We (US) bombed the hell out of German cities including: Berlin, Dresden, Hamburg and numerous others. Obviously there were tremendous civilian casualties, but it was in service of a larger goal to prevent Nazi world dominance and the elimination of Jews. Do you think we should have chosen a different strategy in order to protect the hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians? Were Americans war criminals? My father was one of the active soldiers who fought to achieve the military goals. Should the US soldiers be considered accessories in war crimes? What would have happened if the US and allies didn't take this approach? How would you further argue your case?

"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.

1 ) Israel hasn't occupied Gaza since 05, I'll give you the West Bank Swiss cheese carve up is a plan designed to fail 2 ) Palestinians want to be a separate state, why should Israel not treat them like they would foreigners?

If Israel wanted to, there wouldn't be a Palestinian left. Palestinians have rejected every peace deal offered to them, and still they choose to hold onto their agenda of killing every Jew. Their death is on their hands. The "Palestinians" are not the indigenous people of that land. The Jews are and they have every right to defend their land as they see fit.

[@JeffreyManners]

Bill Maher prides himself on providing a platform for a broad range of conflicting and competing views on current political and social issues. Yet his behavior does not always reflect this view he has of himself. This was clearly evident in the way that Maher repeatedly interrupted Michael Eric Dyson when he was provided a nuanced view on the war in Gaza and the pro-Palestinian protests. Regardless of whether or not one agrees with Dyson's views, Maher clearly needs to improve his listening skills. As someone who regularly views Realtime, Maher's views on the war in Gaza are well known, as he regularly recites them. I really wanted to hear Dyson's full explanation. Unfortunately, Maher was all too eager to interrupt and cut him off.

[@gsp3428]

Maher listened, he interrupted, and if you watch again, Dyson interrupted him, you are just pro palestine so of course, what does everyone do, goes with the side they are on, which is Dysons. Its so crazy how everyone just chooses their side, and thats it. Truth is so irrelevant.

[@freedomfrompsoriasis]

The last time I watched Michael Eric Dyson was on a Munk debate and I was, to put it mildly, not impressed. BUT I listened and watched him here and I was very impressed. He seemed like a completely different person. Thoughtful. Strong in his opinions. Not backing down but being respectful. It's always a relief to change one's mind about another person.
