‘Actually pure evil’: Piers Morgan needles Israeli settler Daniella Weiss about 20,000 dead kids, gets only sinister grin in return

Israel‘s reputation is in tatters, but I guess doing a genocide will achieve that. All around the world, people are still taking to the streets to protest their brutal military action and starvation tactics in the Gaza Strip, putting pressure on their governments to wash their hands of Netanyahu’s brutality.

Things have reached the point that, even in America, a majority of people sympathize more with Palestinians than Israelis. Heck, the current no.1 summer blockbuster pretty much features Israel as the villain!

It’s gotten to the point where even the most steadfast defenders of Israel have begun to look at themselves and wonder, “…are we the baddies?” Piers Morgan has had just such a moment over the last few months, becoming increasingly critical of those casually defending crimes against humanity.

“You don’t care, do you?”

Yesterday, Daniella Weiss was in his hot seat. You might remember her from Louis Theroux’s recent documentary The Settlers. She didn’t bat an eyelid as she rolled out a map to reveal how (with the full support of the Israeli government) she intends to carry out a program of ethnic cleansing on Palestinians, who she doesn’t even consider as human beings.

Later in that show, making some bizarre point about violence, she physically shoved Theroux in a failed effort to make him retaliate in kind. All Theroux could do was call her a sociopath.

Let’s just say Weiss didn’t exactly refute that label on Piers Morgan Uncensored. Morgan repeatedly asked Weiss what she thought about “20,000 Palestinian children being killed by the IDF”. Weiss grinned and began waffling that the blame for their deaths lies with the parents. Morgan repeated his question again and again until he exasperatedly concluded:

“You couldn’t give a damn could you? You couldn’t give a damn. You don’t care, and all you want is the Palestinians gone, you can barely even bring yourself to say their name. All you want is to take over the West Bank and Gaza. You don’t care how many die in the process, you want them all gone. You don’t care do you? That’s the bottom line.”

Weiss initially didn’t respond, merely stared into the camera silently before replying: “The audience will judge”. Morgan shot back: “Yeah, they will.” We will! She’s horrible!

Perhaps remember that Israel nominated Weiss for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize and that she is in close contact with senior government officials in Israel. Weiss is emblematic of how little far-right Israelis think of Palestinians (and Arabs in general). If there’s a silver lining, it’s that within Israel, the younger generation is refusing to participate in Netanyahu’s genocide – here’s hoping their morals rather than Weiss’s take hold in the future.
