Piers Morgan, a media figure known for his controversial takes, has once again found himself on the wrong side of history. This time, he is openly justifying the killing of women and children in Gaza, attempting to frame the ongoing slaughter as a “complex debate.” But there is no debate—defending war crimes is complicity, plain and simple.
For 15 months, the world has witnessed the relentless Israeli bombardment of Gaza, where tens of thousands of civilians—including women and children—have been killed by Israeli occupation army. Entire families have been wiped out, hospitals and refugee camps have been reduced to rubble, and humanitarian organizations are warning of genocide. The Israeli occupation’s actions, condemned by human rights groups across the world, have resulted in what can only be described as genocide and crimes against humanity.
Yet, Piers Morgan, instead of condemning these atrocities, has chosen to play devil’s advocate—positioning mass civilian massacre as a topic for civil discussion rather than an undeniable moral and legal outrage.
By justifying or downplaying genocide, Morgan and others in mainstream media help shape a narrative that dehumanizes Palestinian victims. They provide cover for the Israeli indiscriminate killing of civilians under the guise of “self-defense” and “complexity.” This isn’t balanced journalism; it’s propaganda that allows the slaughter to continue unchecked.
Let’s be clear: deliberately targeting civilians, whether through direct strikes or by destroying the means for them to survive, is a war crime under international law. No amount of media spin or faux neutrality can change that.
When someone with Morgan’s platform chooses to defend or justify the Israeli genocide, he isn’t just expressing an opinion—he’s helping to normalize the unacceptable. By treating the massacre of children as an issue up for “debate,” he strips it of its moral urgency and gives those committing the atrocities a pass.
History has shown that silence—or worse, justification—enables the worst crimes against humanity. If we’ve learned anything from past genocides, it’s that the world cannot afford to sit back while civilians are slaughtered. Those who justify these Israeli atrocities should be held accountable for the role they play in sustaining them.
Piers Morgan’s stance is not just wrong—it’s dangerous. It emboldens war criminals, dismisses the suffering of the oppressed, and distorts the truth. There is no debate when it comes to the indiscriminate killing of women and children. There is only justice—or complicity.
And Morgan has made his choice.
