Piers Morgan has made a point of amplifying both Palestinian
and Israeli voices, on a devastating conflict that many believe is entirely
black and white. Today’s discussion is no different. Firstly, Piers talks to
Husam Zomlot, the Palestinian Ambassador to the UK, who recounts his
heartbreaking upbringing in a refugee camp, and the horrors visited upon his
family. According to Zomlot, the Palestinian people have been made to feel like
“children of a lesser god” at the hands of the state of Israel.
Piers then turns to Israeli Former Prime Minister Ehud
Barak, a man who personally strove to protect his nation when it was surrounded
and attacked in their 1948 war. For him, the moral responsibility for
Palestinian suffering lies squarely on the shoulders of the nations that wanted
to destroy Israel. He reminds Piers of the multiple missed opportunities for
peace, the ‘causal chain’ of violence and that the Jewish people of Israel
cannot be held responsible.
