Here is the Piers Morgan interview, painful.
yeah it was, I watched his interview with Russell Brand, and it was sad to watch him stumble around to make the case that everyone, specially the muslim population, should be thankful to the jews. He did not sound wise or insightful, he sounded senile in that interview.
And I keep asking myself, what is his point? what is his goal, or what is the goal of his statements, and the more I think about it, the more I realize, his goal is to make the case that Israel is the real victim, and that Iran is sacrificing the Palestinians to harm Israel, and that Israel has no fault here, and if they do... it's only a consequence of someone else's actions. That someone else, has no justification, they're just evil and propagandistic, Israel's atrocities are their unjust burden placed upon their shoulders.
To recap, his goal is to make the case that Israel is the victim.
Once he takes that stance, everything else he says, even if some of it is accurate, falls apart.
It hasn't occurred to him to use Occam's razor, that the goal of the powerful nation directing events was precisely this, to trash the accords and to be able to murder people indiscriminately. It hasn't occurred to him to treat Israel as anything other than a rabid dog, Iran should behave like an adult, and so should the Palestinians, but Israel can do whatever it wants and it will be justified.
One thing I will rescue from this interview is when he said that the more "victorious" Israel is, the more resistance it will meet, that is true, because human beings are watching what is going on. To illustrate how wrong he is, instead of seeing that as a human being reacting to atrocities, regardless of the excuse, he sees it as a propaganda war that Iran is winning.
JBP should have simply admitted that he knows nothing of geopolitics and psychopathy, of history and of the way intelligence agencies work the world over, rather than trying to chime in from a place of pure ignorance. His little takes on things, are worse than some uneducated teenager who only watches TV.
I won't be jumping on to hate everything he's ever said or done because he's so desperately wrong on this one issue, because that is just as ideological and black and white as what JBP himself is doing, I'll see him as a human being, deeply talented at some things, completely talentless at everything else.
I'll remember the good ole days, and dismiss this poor excuse of an intellectual.
It's painful because it's like watching your electrician try to convince you that he's the one for the job when discussing brain surgery, just because he works with wires and neurons are kind of like wires, and instad of going, yeah not I'm not the one, he continues to double down and insist that he's the one. Seriously, how difficult is it to simply say, I don't know enough? The arrogance of the intellect he used to warn people about, has taken the better of him, victory has defeated him!
