“IF I WAS NETANYAHU I WOULD RESIGN!”
March 13, 2024
Piers Morgan is getting good backlash from people on his show because of his questions that are illogical during a time of genocide and his stance with Israel after October.
In this discussion on “Piers Morgan Uncensored,”” former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan is asked by Piers what he would have done if he was Netanyahu?
Hasan responds very bluntly: “I would resign because I’m the responsible for that attack. I’m the one who botched security at the border. I’m the one who propped up Hamas with money from Qatar over the years and allowed them to be propped up as a way to divide the Palestinian people.
“I’m the one who’s had millions of my own people on the streets for months protesting against my authoritarian reforms to the judiciary.
“So I would have some shame, I would have some self-respect, I would have some honesty, and I say I quit.””
Powerful stuff!

English Script:
Piers Morgan: I want you to imagine it’s a bit of a leap, I admit. I want you to imagine that you are the Prime Minister of Israel when that atrocity happens in Israel. What do you do?
Mehdi Hassan: That’s a great question. So short answer is I resign because I’m the responsible for that attack. I’m the one who botched security at the border. I’m the one who propped up Hamas with money from Qatar over the years and allowed them to be propped up as a way to divide the Palestinian people. I’m the one who’s had millions of my own people on the streets for months protesting against my authoritarian reforms to the judiciary. So, I have some shame, I have some self-respect, I have some honesty, and I say I quit. Let someone else do this because I have failed for 20 years.
Piers Morgan: Okay. Netanyahu did not do that. And interestingly, although the majority of Israelis would like him to go, they also want him to finish the job in destroying Hamas. There’s not much ambiguity in terms of how Israelis feel about the mission plan, but there’s obviously a lot of concern mounting around the world about the scale of Israel’s response. And that’s really what I guess my I question was alluding to. I feel genuinely conflicted, for want of a better phrase. And the point of my conflict is this really? is it? The reason I ask you that question about if you were the Prime Minister of Israel, it’s very, very difficult to know how any Prime Minister of Israel could have responded in a particularly different manner to the way that Netanyahu did. Putting aside all the reasons that you say you should resign and by the way, I broadly agree with him. So, in terms of the Israel people, the Prime Minister at the time, the response to what happened that day was going to always have to be enormous, wasn’t it?
Mehdi Hassan: So, you’re right, in terms of the emotional response, it was going to be enormous. And I get that after an atrocity happens, people want to do something. But the best leaders, the most strategic leaders, the most moral leaders are the ones who can take a pause, take a breath and say, are we going to make the situation better or worse? Are we striking out strategically or just for the sake of vengeance and revenge? And you talk about Israeli prime ministers having to do this. Look, they didn’t have to do it on this level. I think a lot of Israelis, despite supporting Netanyahu, would argue it didn’t have to be done like this. There are different ways to retaliate against Hamas. The irony is no Israeli government has done it like this before. This is the greatest death toll for Palestinians of any war in Israel’s post 1948 history. So, the fact that he did it like this was unique. I mean, look, the statistics speak for themselves Piers you know them. You’ve said them on the show. The level of killing. The number of kids killed. You have one former UN official saying this is the highest kill rate in the world since Rwanda. Any conflict? Since Rwanda. Do not tell me that the only response to a brutal attack on civilians in Israel October the seventh was to produce a conflict that had a kill rate equivalent to Rwanda’s.
