Not often Piers Morgan asks a good question.
You’ve really fucked up when Piers Morgan calls you out, especially when it comes to Israel. Damn, what a fucked up time we’re living in…
Unless I see evidence of him being legitimately critical of Israel prior to 2025, I’m gonna assume he’s only calling them out now because public opinion has overwhelmingly turned against Israel.
You probably won’t find anything, he’s a twat, and has always been a twat. But everyone has their limit, and seeing 4k videos of children burning alive was probably his.
It should be everyone’s limit. Limits should have been hit long before that.
Fuck.
So?
Different people have different breaking points.
Are you really going to be a fucking hipster about people coming around to Gaza and talk down because they supported an oppressed people later than you did?
Fucks sake dude.
It’s just pathetic. We’ve been on the streets for the last 20 months and we’ve said as early as October 2023 that this is genocide. We’ve been cancelled, beaten up by the police, harassed, threatened, lost jobs, been called extremists, delusional, Nazis, antisemites, terrorist supporters by the likes of Piers Morgan and unfortunately by most liberal journalists and politicians as well.
There’s no coming around and there’s nothing to applaud when people are taking a stance against genocide. It should have never been controversial and all of these people "waking up“ now are deeply complicit in this and they will be deeply complicit in the next thing where consent will be manufactured to commit other atrocities in the name of democracy and Western values.
I absolutely detest him, but at least he has the guts (even if it’s just for ratings) to ask these questions and make these genocidal maniacs look inept. The majority of “news” media just pander to them.
Is it guts? I thought “shouty faux-outrage holier than thou” was his brand?
He’s a prick at the end of the day, hence I said possibly ratings. I assume also he’s seen the vast swing in public opinion and wants to make sure he’s somehow on the “reasonable” side. In this specific clip though, he’s on the money.
Today Piers was not a twat.
He should frame that because it’s a pretty rare event.
Broken clock is right twice a day or something
Piers was also right to speak out against the 2nd Gulf War.
He’s reached his limit. Pay no further attention.
Gtfo with claiming this is blood libel. The Israeli government is so painfully and pathetically predictable.
Omg, I saw that and was like, 'How is she trying to fit that in here?"
This is the first I’ve heard of the term, it sounds like blatant newspeak.
Blood libel is a thing but this certainly ain’t it.
In case anyone else is curious. Holy shit, I don’t think she realizes how much this discredits her.
Is it not the message that Israel has been trying to send? “Support us killing the brown people around us or you’re antisemitic.”
Idk, I’ve seen so much bullshit over the past 5 months that nothing makes sense anymore. I half expected her to react as if the children were Hamas and therefore deserved it.
EXTREMELY rare Piers W
He’s started to really come around to the right side of this. Good to see, better late than never
what changed??? mainstream news is questioning Israel now?? why??? I haven’t seen anything like this in Israel’s entire history
piers is not exactly mainstream, and he’ll do everything to get clicks. including having people on who regularly shit on him, because he knows it gets views. he loves it, and that’s all he cares about.
Did you see the latest images coming out of Gaza? They’re drip feeding humanitarian aid to crowds of people herded like cattle in wired fences.
It’s utterly outrageous, even by Israel’s standard. Their activities are too repulsive to ignore for a lot of commentators.
I guess even a crazy stupid clock is accurate sometimes
Ah fuck do I agree with this cunt now?
It’s just incredibly easy to gain popularity with that.
But yeah. No matter what a cockwomble he is, he is right about this. But you know what they say, even broken clocks are right twice a day.
You agree with him on this. Don’t let that make you think you agreee with him, full stop.
It’s not like he’s taking a big moral leap here, he’s calling out the murder of children. Even a really bad person will usually find that objectionable. Taking this easy moral position doesn’t mitigate the rest of his terrible history.
I wouldn’t even be sure he’s right on this per se, rather than just a rat jumping a sinking ship.
This article always gives me a chuckle when something like this happens. https://clickhole.com/heartbreaking-the-worst-person-you-know-just-made-a-gr-1825121606/
Think it more along the lines of Piers Morgan agreeing with you. It’s more factually correct and feels better.
He’s been on point a few times. This is a personal favourite. He’s not a good guy though, it’s all for the attention.
Ah damn, the one making Ben Shapiro cry was Andrew Neil.
Eh, that one sounds like he was being an asshole to get a reaction, got a reaction, then harangued the person about it. People laugh in a a lot of “unfunny” situations.
Here’s where Israel fucked up with their supporting trump play.
If the whole world has turned their back on the US because of a despotic leader, what makes you(Israel) think they’ll continue to support you? You’re a MUCH smaller player on the international stage than the fucking US.
You done fucked yourselves.
Stop asking me questions!
That’s not how interview works unfortunately
Amazing how she says that they’re “human shields” like that makes it different or better.
It’s insane, the basic fucking concept of why human shields “work” is that it’s morally wrong to kill them. Totally bizarre.
What the hell Israel has even lost Piers Morgan.
Don’t be so sure. Piers Morgan will do whatever he thinks makes “good television” and especially good sound-bites that can have his ugly mug displayed ad-nauseam.
He saw a weakness and exploited it. I doubt he’s “chosen a side” at all.
This is the point of no return. The tide has shifted he can’t go back to unconditional defense of Israel. Piers persisting trait is good when it’s about not letting pro genociders deflect
The tide has shifted he can’t go back to unconditional defense of Israel
Lol watch him
I was going to say that, it is not like the guy is a beacon of enlightment usually.
Everyone is disgusted with Israel actions now.
It’s good to see the tide turn.
Not everyone was disgusted with Israel’s actions before, and some of these people are just blowing in the political wind.

Don’t worry, in a few years all of those people will have opposed it from the start.
I think the appropriate response from an ambassador to a question they don’t know the answer is “let me find out and get back to you”, not “please stop asking me questions!”.
“How many children have you killed” “Let me find out and get back to you” is definitely an answer, but I’m not sure it’s a good one.
“I don’t have those specific numbers but we’re taking all precautions to limit casualties…and did I mention all the bad things they are doing?” is more the traditional response.
She could have at least used the “hamas soldiers have 5 childeren ductaped around their body” argument. That would be on point with their other lies.
Okay… wow. I don’t care enough about Piers Morgan to have an opinion on him, but I have to say: Mad respect for calling her out like that,
It’s great that he’s calling Israel out now. It’s unfortunate that he was towing the Israel line up until now. He didn’t shift because he sincerely is against indiscriminate killing, it’s because public sentiment has.
