Hi Piers, no malice intended in this question but after your experience of what turned out to be fake news of uk soldiers abusing iraqis, why are you so quick to repeat news on gaza and criticise israel when the info comes from hamas/hamas sympathisers - like the BBC reported “israel bombs hospital kills 500” days later its own fire, 7 killed in car park etc but the damage has been done and more useful idiots start tubthumping?
Douglas Murray was there last year, Egypt can see over the border but no one seems to ask them?
Even if “journalists” were allowed in i dont think anyone would believe what they say . “Shock” reports get airtime with no evidence, “sources say etc” “ hamas , trust me bro” while other reports with evidence would be dismissed when its contrary to whatever those listening wanted to believe - ie the longer someone holds an opinion the harder it is to convince them they are wrong.
Basic thing is if gazans are so humble and innocent why dont egypt let them in? Why have they rejected offers to form a state over the last several decades? They bit the tiger on oct 7 knowing full well it would come looking.
I repeat. Hard to know what's going on as journalists aren't allowed in to this region. And, yes, even if they were, they'd just report the bias of the organisation they represent. That's the world we live in, and a good question to ask Piers. How can we believe anything we hear from this region as there are no neutral reporters? What seems to be true is that many people are being killed, including very young children. But, I guess that might be propoganda, too.
Yes, in a world with no direct evidence ofvwhats going on there you have to judge based on previous behaviour. Israel is the one “free” country in the middle east, more open to western values, tolerant pf other religions/beliefs/sexuality etc. multiple nobel pruse winners, industrial and medical innovation, financial business reputations etc. hamas and the palestinians have murdered, raped (oh and during a ceasefire where the western media whine about ceasefires) killed, taken hostages. Made parades of returning hostages and the bodies of hostage children. Past behaviour of sucking up years of western aid bit to improve the sitiation of the population, but to build a 600km tunnel network with exits in hospitals, mosques and under childrens beds. They messed up lebanon, egypt (hence the wall 60ft into the ground and up high under constant armed guard) lybia and more . They cannot be trusted. They hide behind civilians and indoctrinate the young to believe that killing jews eill advance them in the afterlife.
On the balance of probabilities i know who id rather believe.
I loom forward to what Piers says if the guys ask it! Cheers for reply rgds Paul
This man has taken whataboutery to a whole new level. Judging a situation based on western ideas as opposed to understand the underlying hatred of Jews indoctrinated by Muslims. So I ask what Konstantin always asks, ‘if we were attacked like Israel was in October 7 why the hell should they be held to a higher standard than how anyone else would react. Why no comment on Druze, Christians, Hindus, Kurds,etc being slaughtered by Muslims all over the world and saying that Israel shouldn’t prevent the enemy doing it again? The double standards are breath taking
Why not travel to Israel and surrounding countries and make your own observations? Although you may not trust the views and what you are exposed to by any respective host country, you will be welcomed by all and may overall be better informed.
Piers' YouTube show "Uncensored" is something I regularly enjoy watching but, when selecting guests, does Piers ever find it a challenge to balance entertainment/clickbait value versus expertise, insight, and civility?
Why did you interrupt Natasha Hausdorff over SIXTY times and act like a utter rabid animal. You lost all credibility and gave up any pretense of being a moderator. It was two against one with failed comic Dave Smith as your foil. You deserted any semblance of objectivity and then proceeded to block every prominent Israeli and Jewish commentator on X. The world deserves to know why you debased yourself so publicly and joined the Tucker Carlson school of journalistic integrity.
1. You've often asked why can Israel be so effective against iran and hezbollah but couldn't repel hamas on October 7. Is it so unreasonable to believe that sometimes even a highly effective army/intel agency gets beat in one operation by a weaker opponent? For example, I would imagine that every year the team that wins the premiere loses a game or 2 to a team that finishes near the bottom of the standings
2. You typically ask pro-israel guests how they can tell how many hamas fighters were killed if they cant tell you the number of civilians as well. However, wouldn't it also be appropriate to reverse the question, that is: Why should we accept any hamas figures in total casualties if they will not provide the number of fighters that have been killed? Why don't you typically ask the anti-israel side that question as well?
I found your treatment of Natasha Hausdorff quite repugnant. You constantly cut her off, called her "a liar", belittled her as a Barrister, all while simply accepting Hamas claims. Do you regret that incident?
In all your conversations and interviews surrounding the Israel-Hamas conflict, has there been one statement, story, or perspective that profoundly challenged or shifted your own understanding of the situation?
I enjoy your shows, but I'm wondering about your portrayal of the incident with the Syrian refugee Jamal, who was "attacked with a water bottle".
Allegations have been made that Jamal was himself a bully. Apparently Tommy Robinson partly misrepresented the events before the water bottle incident, which I believe he admitted, and felt embarrased about?
Am I right though when I have the impression you took part in throwing the British boy Bailey(?) "under the bus"?
Why did you choose to part-take in the, at best, total over-reaction towards one British kid? Bailey was portrayed to the entire World as a racist bully. Was that fair?
Was becoming a Qatar stooge the courage you required to insult a British Barrister while cow tailing to a uninformed Comedian from the US worth it? You claim to be neutral but you’re not - you’ve a history of being misinformed & good to see how you & your ilk refrain from reporting about the massacre of the Druze & Christians by Muslim militia or avoid mentioning the Syrian Fatwa allowing Druze women to be taken as Sex Slaves which is why men from Lebanon & Iraq caused a traffic jam to kill the Druze men - its abhorrent as Andrew Fox pointed out you & the rest of the media use 98% of Hamas propaganda & only 3% is from the IDF - that’s called bias & is steeped in antisemitism - I expect you’re afraid of a certain belief system that’s massacring it’s way to become a global coloniser & guess what you’d be one of the first to go
Is Hamas accountable for their actions in the same way as that IDF are? If not why not? Does oppression give you the licence to killed, rape and kidnap people and hold them to the bitter end, even though it is causing starvation and death to the people that voted you in to protect and free them?
Why is Irael the bad guy for fighting a war to get their people back and to defend their nation?
Is illegal occupation a good reason to dismantle Israel and have an Islamist army take over that land? If not, what do you think Isreal should fo to get back their people and destroy Hamas' leadership in Gaza?
Triggernometry you choose what question you what to ask Morgan or just incorporate it in your line of questioning as I assume these are questions many people have for Morgan.

Difficult to know what is going on in this region as Israel doesn't allow journalists in. Funny that, isn't it?
So we are told by whom?
Douglas Murray was there last year, Egypt can see over the border but no one seems to ask them?

Well summarised, sir.
This man has taken whataboutery to a whole new level. Judging a situation based on western ideas as opposed to understand the underlying hatred of Jews indoctrinated by Muslims.

Do you think your criticism of Israeli government officials has affected your basic view on Israel's right to defend itself?

Piers, are you going to pay Candace Owens the money you owe her?
I have 2 questions
1. You've often asked why can Israel be so effective against iran and hezbollah but couldn't repel hamas on October 7. Is it so unreasonable to believe that sometimes even a highly effective army/intel agency gets beat in one operation by a weaker opponent? For example, I would imagine that every year the team that wins the premiere loses a game or 2 to a team that finishes near the bottom of the standings

Hello Piers, you often make the claim that Israel doesn't allow Western journalists into Gaza as they are hiding the truth.
Yet, journalists can enter Syria and report on the slaughter of Druze, yet they choose not to? Why is that?
In all your conversations and interviews surrounding the Israel-Hamas conflict, has there been one statement, story, or perspective that profoundly challenged or shifted your own understanding of the situation?
Piers: how much money have you taken from Qatar?
Hello Piers,
I enjoy your shows, but I'm wondering about your portrayal of the incident with the Syrian refugee Jamal, who was "attacked with a water bottle".

failed attempted comedian from the US. No one i know has one clip nor joke he's made that anyone can say merits his being referred to as a "comedian."
That in itself makes me chuckle at the insanity of it all

Morgan what is an a proportionate response to protecting your people and country?
What I meant to say , Is a proportionate response really what matters when it comes to survival and protecting your people?
