Language, Power, and the Path to Peace

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.
