Mehdi versus Piers Morgan on Lebanon, Gaza and Trump
Watch our editor-in-chief in a fiery onscreen clash with the host of 'Piers Uncensored' on-set in London.
It was a long time coming, but Zeteo’s Mehdi Hasan finally met Piers Morgan in person, face to face, and the result is quite something, as you can watch for yourself above.
The exchange, in London, covered the latest bombing and killing of civilians in Lebanon, the ‘pager attacks’ (you can guess who disagreed with the assertion this was not terrorism), Donald Trump’s racism, and much more.
Mehdi didn’t hold back, exposing double standards and Israeli government talking points and bringing a few receipts, including pointing out Piers’ inconsistency when it comes to Ukraine and Gaza.
Watch the full debate above, and if you are a paid subscriber to Zeteo, you can let us know your reactions and feedback in the comments below.
Look, I've said this before. Speaking with Piers is like trying to reason with a monkey. Enough said.
That was good. I wish people would remember that the present Middle Eastern conflict didn't start in 1948. The Balfour mandate in 1917, which sent the British on their usual colonial rampage into Palestine was the real start. British rule of Palestine was brutal, as always, the Israelis, at the point of a gun, of course, merely continued the foul work, importing the Black and Tans after their "job" in Ireland came to an end with the Irish Free State. The Palestinians have suffered from colonial horrors for over 100 years.
