LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Bill Maher, the outspoken host of 'Real Time,' has never been one to shy away from controversy.

On his latest episode, he took direct aim at Vice President Kamala Harris, accusing her of being "full of s**t" regarding her stance on the Israel and Middle East conflict, as per Fox News.

Maher’s sharp critique centered around Harris' comments on the ongoing tensions between Israel and Palestine, specifically her statements regarding the future of Gaza after the war.

Bill Maher’s comments came during a panel discussion where the focus was on Israel's alleged covert operation in Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah operatives.

The operation reportedly involved the detonation of communication devices, resulting in the deaths of dozens of terrorists and injuring many others.

This act, as Maher suggested, was a direct retaliation against the persistent threat Hezbollah poses to Israel.

During the discussion, Maher referred to remarks made by Vice President Harris earlier in the week. Harris had called for "no reoccupation of Gaza" and "no changing of the territorial lines of Gaza," while stressing the importance of security and stability in the region. To Maher, these statements felt empty and lacking in real substance.

"Here’s what Kamala Harris said this week about what we should do when the war is over: '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,'" Maher quoted.

"I feel like if that’s what you have to say, don’t say anything. Just shut up," he added.

Maher went on to criticize the general discourse surrounding the Israel-Palestine conflict.

He argued that while no one supports the death of children or the continuation of violence, oversimplifying the issue without addressing the core problems isn’t helpful.

"Everybody who talks about Israel these days is just so full of s**T. I don’t want children to die. Duh. Who does? None of us want children to die. None of us want this war to go on, but it’s not addressing what the problem is," Maher said bluntly.

"One side uses terrorism to get their goals. One side retaliates against terrorism. One side is accused of genocide, but doesn't do it. The other side actually would love to do it," Maher asserted, highlighting the asymmetry in the ongoing conflict.

Bill Maher gains online support following recent comments about Kamala Harris

Bill Maher’s fiery comments about Kamala Harris' stance on the Israel-Gaza conflict sparked a wave of supporting reactions across social media.

One person remarked, "Harris is just four more years of Biden and his failed policies. Voting for her assures more domestic failure along with a more uncertain and volatile world."

Another said, "Kamala speaks and says nothing. It’s an impressive skill for a politician. I never thought Americans would buy it but here we are."

"Kamala Harris is full of what Maher said on. Every issue, not just on Israel," wrote one person. Another added, "She talks a lot. But she's not saying anything."

One individual wrote, "She can't hold a presser cause there's nothing in her head but word salads. NOTHING! She is not capable of holding any office."

Another pointed out, "She’s clearly going to tank our country if elected… we desperately need Trump back!" One netizen remarked, "Bill, she's wrong about everything. You're getting wound up over one example."

Another added, "Harris is an expert in using as many words possible to say absolutely nothing."
