Bill Maher Says Gaza ‘Could’ve Been Dubai’ After Israel Liberated Them in 2005 But the Citizens Let Hamas Govern Them

EXCERPT:

MAHER: "I know you have real problems, John, but I live here in Hollywood.

By the way, Israel, geniuses educated on TikTok, was liberated in 2005 by Israel. Israel gave it back and said, 'Here, you have your land again. You do something with it.' And this is what they did with it. They made it into a fortress, didn’t spend it on the people or turning it into any sort of — it could have been Dubai."
