On Friday’s episode of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher commented on the recent protests on college campuses, jokingly stating that the students have made it their mission to “get all the Jews out of the river to the sea.” He also made a quip about Columbia University becoming “Kanye State” and humorously mentioned that this year’s Passover celebrates “the exodus of the Jews from Columbia University.”
Maher joked about the current state of affairs at universities, saying, “When did Columbia become Kanye State? Have you seen what’s going on across the country? The kids have really found their cause, which is getting all the Jews out of the river to the sea, that seems to be — well, that is their cause. I’m not even making a joke yet, that’s what they’re saying.”
In a light-hearted manner, Maher advised the students to keep their tents handy for when they graduate. The host’s remarks were met with laughter from the audience.
