Piers Morgan stunned following journalist's Gaza genocide answer
Documentarian Abby Martin appeared on the talk show Piers Morgan Uncensored, which is hosted by the British journalist, where she said that the fact that people are debating whether Israel is committing genocidal acts shows that what they are doing is 'egregious enough' to make the case. In January, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ordered Israel to 'take immediate and effective measures to enable the provision of urgently needed basic services and humanitarian aid,' and to report back on its compliance with the specific measures 'within one month.' However, Israel has continued to obstruct the provision of basic humanitarian aid from entering and being distributed within Gaza, along with continuing acts of collective punishment, which include the use of starvation.

The short clip of the exchange begins with Morgan asking Martin: 'Do you believe that what's happened in Gaza constitutes genocide?' Martin replied: 'I do, and I think that the fact that this debate is raging on shows that what Israel is doing is egregious enough. 'The fact that people are actually having a debate on whether or not it is genocide, like you said, the International Court of Justice has agreed that there's a plausible case for genocide. 'I think that you just clearly articulated several factors that Israel is in fact carrying out. 'The mental bodily harm and caring about the conditions to destroy a group of people. What is happening in Gaza is Genocide summed up perfectly in 2 minutes while a stunned Piers Morgan sits in — BladeoftheSun (@BladeoftheS) April 23, 2025 She added: 'Clearly the complete siege on Gaza, the elimination or the prevention rather of water, food, electricity, the prevention of aid, widespread preventable illnesses, killing people. 'Now we see two million people on the brink of starvation. Clearly these are all intended to destroy a group of people. 'When you compound that with the indiscriminate bombing in the most densely populated places on Earth, I would absolutely constitute that as genocidal killing.' On Monday, aid workers described the humanitarian crisis in Gaza as the 'stuff of nightmares' as the Israel-imposed siege on the territory entered its eighth straight week. Oxfam said that around 70% of the Gaza Strip is under displacement orders or 'no go' zones, affecting more than 500,000 people, and pushing many into inhospitable, unsafe, and inaccessible areas. Clemence Lagouardat, Oxfam response lead in Gaza, said that it was hard to explain just how terrible things are in Gaza at the moment and that aid workers are witnessing scenes of carnage and despair every day. Oxfam and its partners have said they have not received a single aid truck, food parcel, hygiene kit, or any other essential equipment since the siege began. It added that supplies in Gaza are nearly exhausted, with only a few water tanks remaining in the city. Martin went on to continue: 'Piers now compound that with the fact that there's genocidal intent. 'This is usually one of the hardest things to prove in a case of genocide, not the case in Israel's genocide in Gaza. 'We have five pages just in the ICJ ruling that clearly lay out the explicit intent to carry out genocide, and I'll just point to two, the Israeli president, who said shortly after October 7th that no civilian in Gaza is innocent and that they should have overthrown Hamas and because they didn't, they are essentially worth killing. 'Then you have the defense minister shortly after October 7th that these are human animals and we need to act accordingly, as he announced the complete siege of Gaza. 'So, taking all that into account, I would absolutely constitute what is happening is genocide, and Israel needs to be held accountable and stopped immediately because it's the gravest crime against humanity that a state can commit.' After the short two-minute clip, Morgan is seen sitting visibly stunned following Martin's summary.

Zionist State Will Not Survive: American Journalist Abby Martin
The ongoing Israeli aggression against Palestinians in Gaza has sparked rage worldwide, with more voices lashing out against Israel's policies. Abby Martin is one of the most outspoken critics against Israel's actions towards Palestinians. She is an American journalist, TV presenter and activist. Abby Martin' A Pro-Palestine Advocate Martin is a vocal advocate for Palestinian rights. In 2015, she launched the Empire Files, an investigative documentary and interview series. She uses her platform to spotlight the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and amplify Palestinian voices. In 2019, Martin directed 'Gaza Fights for Freedom' documentary, where she highlights the conflict between Gaza and Israel. The End is Near Speaking in a podcast, Abby Martin slammed Zionism and Israeli actions against Palestinians in Gaza, saying that the end of the Zionist State is near. 'People in Gaza need to know that it is the beginning of the end of the Zionist State. The Zionist State will not survive. To stay in the same place, they have to kill and kill and kill. That is the only thing they know how to do. That is not a surviving strategy, and it is not a winning PR strategy for the world,' she said. Zionism Under Fire Martin pointed to the growing support for Palestine. 'And the more people who wake up – and certainly tens of millions of people have woken up to the truth, to the barbaric nature of what Zionism is and what Israel really represents, there is no going back for them,' she noted. 'So, for decades, pro-Palestine advocates have been on the defense to explain why defense of Palestine, why advocacy for Palestinian liberation is not anti-Semitic, why criticizing Israel is not anti-Semitic. That is no longer the case,' she added. #WATCH: Abby Martin Joins a Long Line of Opponents to #Jewish Self-Determination@AbbyMartin #Israel — Leaders MENA (@leadersmena) April 9, 2025 'Zionists are on the defense now, explaining why they support apartheid and genocide. They are no longer going to be allowed in the same spaces as progressives. The whole idea of progressive except for Palestine is no longer real. You are no longer going to be seen as progressive or liberal if you are Zionist,' Martin said. Ideology Exposed The American journalist exposed the reality behind Zionism as an ideology. 'It is a racist colonial genocidal ideology and has been exposed. And at this point, anyone with a shred of humanity is on the side of Palestinians and that is the hope we have to hang our hats on. That is the hope we have to keep striving for,' she said. Moreover, Martin expressed her optimism because more people now see the truth. 'I see the world waking up, I see the mass movements in the streets. Apartheid can't stand. We can't justify apartheid, we can't justify genocide, and those crimes need to be held accountable and they need to be stopped,' she said. Refuting Israeli Narrative Abby Martin said that the war in Gaza has woken more people around the world to the truth about Israel's narrative. 'And Israel has put itself on the defense for its whole existence, that's why it survived and thrived because it has inverted reality, it has flipped reality on its head and it has invested tens of billions of dollars into controlling the narrative in the West,' she said. 'But we see Palestinians dictating their own reality for the first time with social media, and those lies don't hold anymore because we see the truth, just unfettered truth. You just open your phones and you see with your own eyes,' the American journalist noted. Short link : Post Views: 101
