Bill Burr isnt impressed by Bill Maher s vehement stance against ongoing college protests .

The seasoned standup appeared Sunday on Mahers Club Random podcast when Maher, who uses his weekly HBO platform to mock calls for a cease-fire in the Israel-Gaza conflict , claimed students are demonstrating for Hamas and asked if Burr was on the same side.

Im on the side of the kids, he told Maher , who said that no one wants to see kids dead.

The conversation grew increasingly heated when Burr congratulated him on that brave perspective, as Maher replied with the utmost sincerity in claiming that he actually is the one whos brave on this subject and Burr advised him to pat yourself on the back.

The two comics spoke for more than an hour and a half and, while they disagreed on plenty of subjects, kept it respectful throughout. Burr is famous for keeping people in check , however, and did just that after Maher claimed Israel has hard-nosed decisions to make.

Oh, stop talking like youre a general, he told the Real Time With Bill Maher host.

Israel expanded its military offensive in Gaza over the weekend as the United Nations warned that a full-scale invasion of Rafah, a city currently serving as the only refuge for tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians, would cripple humanitarian operations in the region.

The decades-long conflict erupted anew on Oct. 7 when Hamas killed 1,200 Israelis and abducted around 200 others. Israels ongoing bombing has reportedly killed more than 35,000 Palestinians since, most of them women and children, spurring global outcry.
