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...

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

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.

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.
A bit earlier I read someone say "some days the sun even shines on a dog's asshole" which I like a lot better than the broken clock thing.
I wouldn't even be sure he's right on this per se, rather than just a rat jumping a sinking ship.

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.

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.
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.
When all you sell is outrage words lose their meaning and things that should cause public outrage become entertainment in the “minute of hate” sense.
EXTREMELY rare Piers W
He's started to really come around to the right side of this. Good to see, better late than never
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.
It's still cool the trap zionists like that. Not let their lies getting deflected
Gtfo with claiming this is blood libel. The Israeli government is so painfully and pathetically predictable.
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.

Stop asking me questions!
That's not how interview works unfortunately
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.
Yeah and while they were busy telling us the last 20 months that we’re Nazis or antisemtimes or whatever for being anti-genocide now that they’re "waking up“ they’re pretending that they’re already aware and tell others that they "can’t look away anymore"as if they’d be some kind of martyrs who break some taboo. It’s pathetic, really.
I guess even a crazy stupid clock is accurate sometimes
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 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.
Apparently Israelis are now better at using human shields now
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.
Gotta start washing your hands so you can later say "look, I stood against genocide"
Better than doubling down for sure tho.
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.
I thought Piers Morgan was a far right twat. Suprising coming from him. I guess a broken clock still tells the correct time twice a day.
Don't be fooled, he's still a scummy bastard. He's got tabloid journalist brain, and shit stirring is his thing.
