Far left darling Bill Maher stunned his fans on Friday when he told his audience that he supports President Donald Trump’s courageous announcement to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Bill Maher told his audience: I hate to agree with Donald Trump and it doesn’t happen often but I do. I don’t know why with Israel it’s been their capital (Jerusalem) since 1949. It’s where their government is. They’ve won all the wars thrown against them. I don’t understand why they don’t get to have their capital where they want.

Of course this did not go over well on the Jew-hating and Trump-bashing left.
They were outraged that their left-wing leader would still support Israel — and Donald Trump!

The ugly face of sincere ignorance. @billmaher doesn’t have to work too hard to remain this stupid! Scary thing is he’s peddling this fodder to a largely ignorant audience 😱#ConcientiousStupidity #Jerusalem #Israel #BillMaher https://t.co/K2dqDSsqPP

No, Bill Maher, the capital of Israel and not been Jerusalem since 1949. It wasn't in Israeli hands until 1967, and they only control half of the city. I like you, but please, break out a book.— SiriusMined (@SiriusMined) January 27, 2018
@billmaher the Jerusalem move was a disaster to the peace process and hopes for a two state sol'n It wasn't about safety..it was the religious fanatics in Israel getting what they want..what they feel the Bible requires. A spit into the face of Palestinians..

Dear @billmaher, I am Israeli and love your show. On Jerusalem however (and somewhat on Gaza) you are mistaken. For a 2-state solution, east Jerusalem must be the capitol of the Palestinian state. The conflict is bad enough, and Trump made it worse. I would be happy to elaborate.

@billmaher I rarely disagree with you, but you are completely WRONG on the issue of Jerusalem. You are looking at only one side of this fight.

Bill Maher opened up a can by supporting Trump AND Israel in the same statement!
