Bill Maher has criticized Democrats for not condemning antisemitism, specifically targeting what he calls "woke idiots" within the party. He has also denounced rising antisemitism and double standards against Israel, and warned Democrats that they will face negative consequences if they do not stand up against radical anti-Israel views. The reaction to Maher's comments has been mixed, with some outlets reporting on his criticism of Democrats and others criticizing him for his pro-Israel stance.
