Bill Maher unleashed a fiery, profanity-laced critique of liberal Americans who express sympathy for Hamas, accusing them of glorifying a regime that would crush the very freedoms they enjoy in the West.

“Most Muslim societies live under some form of sharia law, which no westerner who thinks that Ham*s is so great could ever live under,” Maher said. “Your fundamental rights that you take for granted here in America, you would not have.”

He pointed to the irony of mass protests erupting across the U.S. in support of Palestinians, arguing that if similar demonstrations took place under Hamas rule, participants would be met with violence or death. “If it was just that issue — how women are treated — are you [expletive] kidding me?” Maher exclaimed.
