Not often Piers Morgan asks a good question.

    Today Piers was not a twat.

    He should frame that because it’s a pretty rare event.

      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.

        I wouldn’t even be sure he’s right on this per se, rather than just a rat jumping a sinking ship.

          Well yeah. He’s in the right band wagon, is my point.

          He didn’t pick it for the right reasons or early enough, but he is — at least in this video — on the right side.

        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.

      Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Just because you agree with him this one time doesn’t mean your opinions are aligned.

      I’m definitely not a fan but to see him finally calling this shit out says a lot.

      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.

    Gtfo with claiming this is blood libel. The Israeli government is so painfully and pathetically predictable.

            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.

    Yeah now that Israel has fallen out of favour and others have already publically condemned their actions of course Piers won’t miss the oppurtunity to talk over somebody in the name of journalism. Don’t get me wrong - the ambassador can get fucked too. But I still remember all the crap he said about Palestine like a year ago. He was one of the public figures really pushing the “Palestine supporter = hamas terrorism enjoyer” narrative. The killing of Palestinian children hasn’t just started now and he was on the side of the perpetrators the whole time. This interview changes nothing about what a greedy, self righteous piece of shit he is.

    So is it finally okay to call out Israel on their bullshit now that comfy media personalities are doing it or is that privilege just for them?

      No, you have to wait until traditional media like the evening news and print newspapers do it as well. Because the average boomer is still fed lies about the situation through those.

      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.

      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.
