You can see the video that was originally quoted here: https://xcancel.com/billmaher/status/1844938477512675654#m

Bill Maher seems aggressively unfunny to me, but the gist of the video is that it's a open letter to Chappell Roan (who is pro-Palestine), saying that Israelis aren't colonisers, because the Bible mentions that they built a temple in that area before others in Middle-East settled there. It seems like a questionable claim to me, and there are plenty of replies to the video disagreeing with him.

I mean, the Bible also mentions exactly how they drove out and murdered the Canaanites that were living there before them. Sounds like a coloniser to me - not that they were special for doing that, in their day.

And we know that that is, historically, bullshit, because Hebrews and Canaanites were related tribes and Judaism is even an outgrowth of the Canaanite pantheon.

The bible also says that you're supposed to murder noncombatants during war. I think we should discount the old testament as a guide of any kind
