Mehdi: explains point clearly
Piers: starts back at square 1

[wafaay]

There's no point in talking to xenophobes like piers, any words from a language he doesn't understand sound bad to him.
Say couscous and he will flee the room.

[N.Mpenwarrior]

A white European giving the world the definition of an Arabic word. The Arabic language is robust with layers of meaning and we judge events by context and outcomes and not word definitions. We do not pigeon hole our words.

South Africa 🇿🇦 support for Palestine 🇵🇸
Britain 🇬🇧 support Israel 🇮🇱

Respect South Africa 🇿🇦
Shame on Britain 🇬🇧

[sheralikhan]

When Piere is defeated and is out of reasonable points, he just blurbs “well they are chanting intifada”.

[joseywales]

It’s amazing how stubborn, stupid, sincerely ignorant and arrogant Piers is… he talks just to be heard, even though he seems to always embarrass himself… I guess, one can do that when they have no shame, integrity, honor or respect for truth and honesty

Intifada is resistance. That’s it. Everyone under occupation has the right to resist. Period.

[nawalirfan]

Piers and his incessant fear mongering under the guise of 'harmless arbitration'

[TheMakS]

Piers asks a question.

Guest gives a very clear answer.

Piers asks the same question again.

[RobPires]

Piers will only accept 5ionists intepretation of intfada. Just like he only accept 5ionists intepretation of any kind of palestinian resistance.

[VDOless]

Piers: You can teach me but I will not learn

[wtiusuq]

So you are ignorant in the Arabic language, which is understandable, yet you say confidently that Intifada means terrorism. Come on!!

[mathewx]

How Im i going to tell someone the meaning of a word in a language I cant speak. The arrogance is wild

[sue]

“violent uprising” 😂 he reminded me of the Arab dictators calling the protesters terrorists

[RangKlos]

The theme of his show nowadays is to record how stupid he is in front of knowledgeable guests.

[aghias]

Hasan we do appreciate your knowledge of Intifada. Love to see this again and again. You sure have the patience to let not talk when it’s your turn. You doing really good.

[HY]

Educating Piers is taking too long and is making him rich, time to stop paying for his ignorance.

[staticcouch]

I don’t know why people debate Deaf Morgan he’s literally just there to push lies.

[ayabdulla]

Protest is not meant to be peaceful, it's meant to be disruptive. The whole point of protest to hold people to account for the crimes they have/are committing.
