Hard to watch, but damn, he essentially puts the guy on a chokehold when talking about civilian casualties vs. Hamas casualties.

Remember that time one of the other diplomats went on BBC and was like "There is no humanitarian crisis in Gaza"

What's worse, when Piers Morgan make a good point, when Bill Maher makes a good point, or when Joe Rogan makes a good point?

I remember a funny interview with the former Israeli prime minister.

The host asked him what does he think about Palestinian babies (that were being killed).

The former PM started going on an angry tirade at the host, saying stuff like "why are we talking about Palestinian babies, what's wrong with you, etc."

It was a really bizarre clip.

I've been following Piers since the beginning of his coverage on the current conflict, I believe he is being genuine here. It doesn't mean he's pro-Palestine, but he does see something wrong. He still has shitty takes on it though and he'll give a platform to the bloodthirsty pro-Israel guys like Rabbi Shmuley. However, he does a somewhat better job at holding the flame to pro-Israel claims than other western media, but that's a low bar.

BBC probably needs to meet its "actual journalism" quota for the quarter.

He knows being pro Palestine will generate more hate and get him more attention.

That is all he cares about.

"When the dust settles, we'll tell you how many civilians we've killed."

Why wait? Unless you're afraid the answer will shock the world into withholding military aid from Israel, why wouldn't you give us this answer in real time?

Piers has been better than expected on this issue for awhile now. He's still pretty weak in his rhetoric when condemning the IDF, but he FREQUENTLY hosts the pro-Palestinian (what an odd term, by the way) side on his show.

The israeli government has a very polished message and you can see part of it here where they emphasize that they've got figures on how many hamas combatants they've killed (to show that as their primary mission, instead of wholesale genocide) and that they're taking great precaution on not harming civilians (part of the whole "world's most moral military" angle), but it absolutely crumbles if you go, "hey wait a minute, if you have numbers on hamas combatants killed and you're taking great precaution to not harm civilians, how come you don't have the number of civilians killed?" like piers did here. The thing is that the israeli government is not used to being under any scrutiny from any large platform, so normally they'd get away with the narrative.

Piers imo did not press enough on the way comparison excuse imo. He probably should have been like "I can go look up estimated civilian Casualties in the Russian invasion of Georgia but how can I compare that to your war if I don't have your civilian casualty numbers?"

Piers should've just started showing photo after photo after photo of dead women and children and asked "Is this Hamas terrorist? No. Okay, is THIS a Hamas terrorist? No, Okay, is THIS...."
