Bill Maher slams college protesters' silence over Hamas violence
Share and Follow

Bill Maher has criticized college students across the United States, accusing them of remaining silent in the wake of shocking footage that has emerged showing Hamas executing Palestinian civilians following a peace agreement with Israel.

Recently, disturbing videos have surfaced on social media depicting blindfolded men kneeling with their hands bound in the al-Sabra neighborhood of western Gaza City, as reported by CNN.

The footage shows masked, armed militants—some donning headbands associated with Hamas—standing behind the men and carrying out executions of eight civilians in front of a large gathering in the central square.

While the precise date of this brutal incident remains unclear, it has ignited concerns that the peace accord in Gaza might unravel as Hamas appears determined to maintain its grip on power.

During Friday’s episode of Real Time with Bill Maher, the host questioned billionaire Mark Cuban about the apparent absence of anti-Israel protesters on American college campuses, now that Hamas has been seen committing such violent acts.

‘Where are the protestors?’ Maher asked Cuban, raising his hands in defeat. 

‘Suddenly, the keffiyeh-wearing college kids are very quiet,’ he added.

Cuban simply replied that he had no idea.  ‘Can’t be found,’ he said. ‘Yeah, can’t be found anywhere.’

Responding with another question, the comedian said: ‘This is okay? It’s just amazing, the asymmetry of what goes on.’

The late-night host’s comments focused on the hundreds of pro-Palestinian protests that erupted on college campuses nationwide demanding a ceasefire in Gaza. 

Across the US, dozens of demonstrators chanted anti-Israel slogans and clashed with police, resulting in hundreds of arrests. 

The movement sparked government action, with President Donald Trump cutting millions in federal funding to universities while several students faced investigations over alleged ties to Hamas. 

Secretary of State Marco Rubio even called on the State Department to review foreign students who express support for the terrorist group, as Trump repeatedly demanded that those attending US universities have their visas revoked. 

Nearly two years after the Hamas-led massacre in Israel, which killed 1,200 people and led to 250 being taken as hostages hostages, a peace deal was finally reached. 

It came after an intense bombing campaign by Israel which led to the deaths of around 68,000 Palestinians. 

Earlier this month, Hamas agreed to release all Israeli hostages and return the remains of the deceased.

Hamas also agreed to transfer administrative control of Gaza to an independent body of Palestinian technocrats, who are said to be ‘based on Palestinian national consensus and Arab and Islamic support.’

Cuban (pictured) simply replied that he had no idea where the pro-Palestinian demonstrators are. 'Can¿t be found,' he said. 'Yeah, can¿t be found anywhere'

But as Israeli troops began withdrawing from parts of Gaza, Hamas had already recalled roughly 7,000 members of its security forces to reassert control over those same areas. 

Trump recently suggested that Hamas had been given a greenlight for internal security operations, saying militants wants ‘to stop the problems’ and ‘we gave them approval for a period of time.’

However, the horrifying execution footage emerged just days after the Trump-brokered peace deal came into effect.

Cheering crowds screamed ‘Allah Akbar,’ or ‘God is great’ and branded the executed men ‘collaborators’ while filming the deadly scenes on their phones. A Hamas source confirmed the authenticity of the video. 

In a Truth Social post condemning the circulating footage, Trump wrote: ‘If Hamas continues to kill people in Gaza, which was not the deal, we will have no choice but to go in and kill them.’ 

Palestinian security sources claimed that dozens of people have been killed in violent clashes with Hamas fighters in recent days.

Just last week, a violent power struggle between Hamas and its rivals in Gaza resulted in the deaths of at least 27 people. 

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has consistently maintained that the war cannot end until Hamas gives up its weapons and ceases to control Gaza – a demand that the militants have rejected, torpedoing all previous peace efforts.

Hamas sources told Reuters on Tuesday the group would not tolerate any more violations of order in Gaza and would target collaborators, armed looters and drug dealers. 

In September, Hamas-led authorities admitted that they had executed three men accused of collaborating with Israel.

Hamas has also been accused in the past of carrying out public executions on the streets of Gaza.
