Piers Morgan is joined by American talk show host Dennis Prager and Iranian-American scholar Reza Aslan for an epic clash over the conflict between Israel and Hamas. Dennis Prager’s views on the conflict have remained steadfast, with a focus on attributing civilian deaths to Hamas and advocating for a peace agreement based on Hamas’s acceptance of the Jewish state. Reza Aslan emphasises the need to address the underlying grievances fuelling terrorism and criticized Netanyahu’s reluctance to engage in meaningful political dialogue with the Palestinian territories. Dennis Prager told Piers Morgan the only difference between Hamas and Nazis was that “Hamas publicised its butchery, and the Nazis hid it”, adding that if Israel didn’t have a way to stop rocket attacks, “millions of Israelis would be dead”, and the left wishes “to destroy western civilization”. Reza Aslan said American taxpayers were paying for Israel’s war in Gaza, “buying the bombs and the bullets that have thus far killed 30,000 Palestinian non combatants in Gaza.”
