ONLY VIOLENCE COMMITTED BY PRO-ISRAELI PROTESTERS! NOT PRO-PALESTINIANSI
May 7, 2024
THIS IS A MUST WATCH.
Cenk Uygur, founder of the Young Turks, accused Piers Morgan on his show Uncensored last week of pushing pro-Israel “propaganda” about the pro-Palestine student protests at Columbia University in New York.
Uygur highlighted how Morgan voiced concerns over the safety of Jewish students on American university campuses while saying nothing about the violent attack by a pro-Israeli mob against the Gaza solidarity encampment at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) last Wednesday.
“This is not the United States of Israel!” he told Piers.
Cenk is a legend!

English Script:
Piers Morgan: I am expressing an opinion that what has happened at Columbia has crossed a line. And that if I’m a Jewish student there, I think it’s completely outrageous, I’m being intimidated and harassed for the actions of Israel’s government, thousands of miles away. That doesn’t mean I don’t have very strong views about what’s happening in Gaza, because you know that I do. So where is my lie in all this?
Cenk Uygur: Yeah, Piers, I’ve just listened to you for 20 minutes, frame the issue in a purely 100% Israeli propaganda way. So if you say: ‘’Hey, listen, Jewish students shouldn’t be harassed or attacked. Of course I agree. I got…
Piers Morgan: Then you agree with me, so why have I lied?
Cenk Uygur: No, no, no, stop interrupting. But what you don’t talk about is you say from the river to the seas is an unacceptable chant. Did you mention to the audience in these last 20 minutes that Benjamin Netanyahu actually said it recently? Not only that, he’s actually doing it. He’s in the middle of wiping out the Palestinians from the river to the sea. That is the grotesque violence he has slaughtered 25,000 women and children. They were all innocent. So when Hamas kills 860 innocent Israeli civilians, I call them out and I say: “That is terrible.” But when Israel slaughters 25,000 women and children, we’re saying: ‘’Oh, I don’t like a pro-Palestinian chant.” A chant? That’s what we’re concerned about. And now you turn to the violence that has happened on college campuses. There is one case of overwhelming violence, and that happened last night at UCLA, and it was pro-Israeli protesters that violently attacked the peace protesters that didn’t do anything. They attacked an old lady and said: “Oh yeah, good luck, trying to defend yourself, old lady.” These are vicious vigilante thugs. And they have done more violence than all of the peace protesters in the country combined. Where are the arrests? Where is the outrage? Where’s the indignation? You pretend that you care about protecting students, but you only care about protecting one side, whereas the other side is assaulted?
Piers Morgan: No, I don’t actually, no because…
Cenk Uygur: And debased and humiliated.
Piers Morgan: Ok, let me respond
Cenk Uygur: And all you what you want to do is cancel their speech. You want, you’re a part of cancel culture and admit it right now.
Piers Morgan: Can I respond?
Cenk Uygur: You talk about protesting people..
Piers Morgan: Can I respond?
Cenk Uygur: Americans!
Piers Morgan: Can I respond?
Cenk Uygur: Americans!
Piers Morgan: By the way..
Cenk Uygur: This is not the United States of Israel.
