Bill Maher had a scathing message for “full of sh*t” Vice President Kamala Harris and others who fail to address the actual problem in the Middle East.

Following her debate with former President Donald Trump, as she clamored for a round two, the vice president traveled from one safe space to another for select interviews. This included an appearance with the National Association of Black Journalists where her stated positions on supporting “Palestinians in their right to self-determination” left the HBO star urging her to “Just shut up.”

“Here’s what Kamala Harris said this week about what we should do when the war is over,” the host of “Real Time with Bill Maher” said to his guests. “‘No reoccupation of Gaza,’ ‘no changing of the territorial lines of Gaza’ and an ‘ability to have security in the region for all concerned in a way that we create stability.’ I feel like if that’s what you have to say, don’t say anything. Just shut up.”

“I mean, everybody who talks about Israel these days is just so full of sh*t. ‘I don’t want children to die.’ Duh. Who does? None of us want children to die,” added the comedian. “None of us want this war to go on, but it’s not addressing what the problem is.”

The host, oft outspoken on Israel, proceeded to explain to guests columnist Bret Stephens of the New York Times and MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle, “The problem is that one side wants a two-state solution, or at least always did. It’s a little more right-wing now — I’m talking about Israel — but that still has been their position. One side never did and still doesn’t.”

“One side uses terrorism to get their goals. One side retaliates against terrorism. One side is accused of genocide, but doesn’t do it,” he went on. “The other side actually would love to do it. People keep saying Israel has the right to defend itself, and then whenever Israel does, they object to it.”

Stephens voiced support for the actions taken by Israel while calling out Hamas for using civilians as shields. After he encouraged Secretary of State Antony Blinken to fork over a $7 million bounty to the Jewish state for eliminating a terrorist with the blood of more than 300 Americans on his hands, Ruhle chimed in to defend the “tricky position” Harris was in as vice president.

“It’s very difficult for — for anybody in her position to kind of thread this needle and say here’s what we should do, here’s our plan,” when President Joe Biden remained commander-in-chief argued the MSNBC host.

The defense prompted Stephens to ask, “Is she just being vague because the political equities are such that it doesn’t pay to be specific, or does she simply have no idea and you know, I am an undecided vote-”

Ruhle cut off the columnist to tellingly assert, “That’s not an honest question to me, because there’s no way you think that I’m gonna turn and go, ‘You know, Bret, you’re right. She has no idea.’”

Meanwhile, after proclaiming a ceasefire deal needed to be reached in Gaza, when pressed for a specific policy that she would change as president if elected, the vice president provided the NABJ with a non-answer stating, “We need to get this deal done, and we need to get it done immediately and that is my position, and that is my policy. We need to get this deal done,” before admitting to her support for withholding armaments from the Israelis as “leverage.”
