WATCH: Piers Morgan Calls Out Israel In Viral Monologue Embraced By Palestine Supporters
TalkTV host Piers Morgan’s Monday monologue has gone viral in the days since it aired after the journalist questioned the Israeli military’s actions in Gaza over the past week.
The full length Piers Morgan Uncensored monologue was shared widely on a network of Palestine supporting TikTok accounts, with added Arabic subtitles, before doing the same rounds on X, having been viewed more than 2 million times.
One account responsible for pushing the clip on X proclaimed: “The Zionists have officially lost Piers Morgan.”
Another, equally well followed account, headlined the same video rip: “Piers pushes hard against Israel.”
Indeed, Morgan didn’t hold back in his show-opening commentary.
“Throughout the long and deadly history of Israel’s wars with Palestine, it’s usually fallen to Israel’s friends to tell them when it’s time to stop,” Morgan said. “That time may be fast approaching again, even as Israel insists it needs more time to eradicate Hamas, it can only have itself to blame.”
The host talked about the Israeli Defence Force (IDF) killing of three Israeli hostages on Friday as well as the shooting of two women seeking shelter in a church over the weekend, an incident the Israeli government denies responsibility for.
“There was no justification under international law for killing them,” he continued. “It’s a clear breach of the rules of engagement. What does that tragedy tell us about the way Israeli soldiers are treating Palestinian civilians? How seriously should we now take Israel’s insistence that it’s doing everything it can to keep innocent people alive?”
With that, Morgan noted the increased calls for a “sustainable ceasefire” from international governments that have been, to date, supportive of Israel’s campaign in Gaza.
He also highlighted more explicit criticism of the IDF’s recent actions, including Pope Francis describing the killing of the two women at the church as “terrorism” and the comments of former UK Defence Secretary Ben Wallace, who said Israel’s strategy was a “killing rage” in a scathing Daily Telegraph op-ed.
Health officials in the Hamas-run territory report approximately 19,000 deaths since the Israeli offensive began, following a Hamas attack that killed 1,200 people. As the campaign drags on the incidents outlined by Morgan, which occurred in the past week, have brought renewed pressure on Israel to make clear its plan and strategy.
