Ben Shapiro and Piers Morgan discuss hypocrisy of when ‘international law is invoked’

Conservative commentator Ben Shapiro finds it “very bizarre” international law is invoked in the “response to a war crime”, but the original war crime, after Israel conducted a hospital raid in the West Bank.

Israeli Security Forces have been accused of violating international law after commandos disguised themselves as doctors and patients to raid a hospital in the West Bank and killed three Hamas and Islamic Jihad members.

“I defend that because if Hamas or, in this case, Islamic Jihad is using a hospital as a terror base, which they have historically done, then the violation of international law is on them,” Mr Shapiro told Sky News host Piers Morgan.

“I always find it very bizarre that international law is invoked when it comes to a response to a war crime but not to the original war crime.

“So, when Israel engages in a targeted military operation – by the way, not killing any civilians in this particular operation – killing people who are clearly terrorists, that is the war crime as opposed to terrorists using the hospital as an organising base?

“That seems to me peculiar.

“It’s unclear whether they were being treated or whether they were simply using the hospital as cover – that’s Israel’s contention anyway.”

Amazing how Piers does not interrupt Ben every 23 seconds

[valar]

Who “decided” that a response should be “proportionate? I don’t remember getting to vote on that. Was Hiroshima and Nagasaki “proportionate?”

[DD-bogg]

How can Ben even argue with international courts... i think they are a bigger authority than an influencer who speaks fast. He lost it.

[nimishachowdhury]

Bens double standard is embarrassingly astounding!

[lucasglowacki]

It’s Hamas who didn’t think of the consequences….

[nk]

You can see the evil in this man's eyes

[nimishachowdhury]

Why doesn't Piers ask the questions he asked with that Muslim doctor?

Ben has the same views about homosexuality.

Piers won't. Because, he is a hypocrite.

[bokangreacts]

but they were not using the hospital as a terror base he was paralyzed

[whippetsarethebest]

Shapiro just lost my respect here. He's a warmongor without any empathy.

[CallingOutBSTodayAndTommorow]

The fact that Piers does not immediately interrupt Ben when he claimed that the hospital patient, who was at that time was in a coma, was using the hospital as a terror base, is proof that Piers Morgan is biased and censored. If Ben was a Muslim or Arab making that claim against an Israeli hospital patient who was in a coma, he would have stopped him in his usual fashion and at the very least abruptly chuckled at the idea of that as preposterous as it is. The fact that he did not do either of those things is quite telling and disgusting.

Explain why israel is clearing north gaza to replace the area with new developments for israelis ....new settlements...WOW WOW!!!
i am so sick of all the lies and there is so much hatred on both sides.

[ndAmendmentMF]

Andrew tate would beat tf out of ben 😂

[bumurcus]

Now I know why Shorty never debated anyone on politics

[bldtv]

So women and kids can be just blown to pieces and bens justifies it by saying “it wasn’t intentional” . Oh, so that’s ok then. What planet is this guy on. ?

[ericvandenbergh]

Overreaction ! Is that a euphemism for revenge genocide.

[jonnyblunt]

Bassam and Piers completely distorted Ben's words.
He clearly stated that there's no proportionality with regards to how many terrorists are killed, NOT civilians.

[bumurcus]

Pierce and shorty talk about Hamas like it is the beginning of human history, that is when I know that I am dealing with two very uneducated criminals or well paid. I expect that from the public that is hurt and emotional, but if you call yourself a journalist or an analyst, that all respect is gone, or you are just a paid voice. If the listener is a little smart and objective, this event should be these two guys last gig in journalism and public, otherwise, we deserve them and alike

[SheLovedMeOnPayDay]

How can WWII and the deaths over 38 million people ever be compared to 1200 causalities or human shields?

[jojog]

lol just because there is no good answer to the question….. what BS

[dannylynch]

I never realised Australia was the equivalent to bible belt Texas. Just wow. You can still smell the unwanted waste of the old kingdoms 😂😂
