HBO's Bill Maher took aim at the anti-Israel protesters who blocked traffic, accusing them of being 'privilege-y' for preventing people from going to their jobs or to pick up their kids.
'Real Time' host Bill Maher closed his show Friday night by taking aim at the 'privilege-y' anti-Israel protesters who recently blocked traffic in cities across the country. He insisted that this is what happens when 'activism merges with narcissism.' 'Someone needs to tell the people who block traffic in the name of a cause, no one likes you. And you're probably hurting your cause,' Maher began his monologue.
You're going to glue your hands to the street because your hands don't have to do any work today,' he then quipped. 'I'm not saying there aren't sincere passions about Gaza, especially among people from the region, but social justice warriors- for a lot of them, it seems like it's more about the warrioring than about whatever the cause is.
don't want to diminish how sad it is that someone would take their own life for any reason. But maybe from now on before anyone commits an act of civil disobedience, they should ask themselves a few questions like is the most important thing in my life, something I hadn't heard of six months ago? Do I even know wha the f--- I'm talking about? Am I really here for the cause, or is the cause here to bring you me?' Maher told his audience.

Trade Volume Between Türkiye and Israel Declines SignificantlyThe trade volume between Türkiye and Israel has declined significantly since Israel's invasion of Gaza began last year, data from the Turkish Trade Ministry suggests. From October 7 to March 20 this year, the total Türkiye-Israel trade volume fell by nearly 33 percent, according to information compiled by the Figures sourced from the Trade Ministry and compiled by Anadolu reveal a substantial 33 percent decrease in Türkiye's trade interaction with Israel from October 7, 2023, to March 20, 2024. Meanwhile, Türkiye's exports to Israel fell 30 percent, while its imports decreased by 43.4 percent. Turkish nationals and companies have been gradually cancelling sales and orders with Israel, while trade is mostly with private firms, including some international ones, rather than state enterprises. Goods sent from Türkiye to Palestine pass through Israel and its customs gates due to Palestine's lack of its own customs facilities. Goods destined for Palestine are required to be labelled for Israel or include the phrase "via Israel." In addition, Israel does not recognise legal relations between Palestine and third countries, while it refuses to allow commercial transactions through the Rafah Border Crossing with Egypt. As a result, trade between third countries and Palestine is logged overwhelmingly as trade with Israel in data reflected in national statistics.
