AI Summary
5 min readOn the third anniversary of the October 7th Hamas attacks, Piers Morgan hosted a debate that quickly became a raw, often hostile argument over whether Zionism itself is a racist ideology—a question the UK Green Party had just voted to answer in the affirmative.

Show Notes
Three years on from the October 7th Hamas attack, Piers Morgan reflects on how global public opinion towards Israel has dramatically shifted. While initial worldwide sympathy saw major global landmarks illuminated in solidarity, the rising human toll in Gaza, international recognition of Palestinian statehood, UK sanctions, and fierce debates over Zionism have altered the geopolitical landscape.
Piers addresses the growing divide, public sentiment in the West, and the complex history behind the conflict by first speaking to author of ‘Anti-Zionism: A Jewish History’ Benjamin Moser before welcoming his panel; US-Israeli journalist and broadcaster Emily Schrader, The Young Turks’ Cenk Uygur and Prager U commentator Shabbos Kestenbaum.
