Piers Morgan and liberal journalist Mehdi Hasan clashed over anti-Israel protests on Wednesday as Hasan argued those shouting 'intifada' were not calling for violence.
Liberal journalist Mehdi Hasan clashed with Piers Morgan Wednesday during an interview over protesters shouting 'intifada' during anti-Israel demonstrations across college campuses. Hasan, who recently left MSNBC and created Zeteo, a new media company, joined 'Piers Morgan Uncensored' for a discussion about the Israel-Hamas war, and the anti-Israel protests, specifically at Columbia University.
In 2011 in the Arab Spring, the Tunisians rose up peacefully, I'm sure you supported them, I did, against their dictator, Ben Ali. The Egyptians rose up in Tahrir Square, I think you supported them, I certainly did, against Mubarak, against these dictators that we in the west had been supporting. Those were referred to, you can go back and look at the Arabic press, you can look at the BBC Arabic coverage, as intifadas,' Hasan said.
So just to be clear, that's what intifada means, uprising. These students are not calling for violence. They're not, if they wanted to, they would call for violence, they'd call for suicide bombers. They're calling for an uprising, Piers,' Hasan said. 'Intifada is used for peaceful uprisings as well,' Hasan asserted.
Hasan went on to call out police presence and their response to the protests on college campuses and argued that the chaos at universities was largely being caused by police.
