Piers Morgan Shows How To Interview Nick Fuentes

While I don’t think it was a net positive for Piers Morgan to interview Jew-hater Nick Fuentes, it was useful to see how people can effectively interview someone like Fuentes.
Morgan first showed a clip of Coleman Hughes of The Free Press, explaining that Fuentes plays a double game: he says inflammatory things on his podcast against minorities, in which he will sometimes later say he was joking, and on podcasts, he presents himself as a pro-America conservative who deserves to have his views taken seriously.
Of course, it didn’t take long for Fuentes’ antisemitism to come out and claim that since Hughes works for Bari Weiss, a Jew, his opinions are suspect.
Morgan got Fuentes upset by asking about his father, such as when his father, Bill, told the family they would not eat at certain restaurants like Applebee’s due to Black patrons.
Fuentes claimed his father was not a racist despite those comments, and was joking. But later, Fuentes would not retract it and feared that his father would lose his job. Fuentes later admitted he has two different personas.
Amazingly, Fuentes told Morgan he was not joking when he said on his podcast that “Jews are running society” and Black people for the most part should be imprisoned. While Fuentes then said he referred only to Black murderers, his comments show that he is a racist.
“The point of this interview is to go over things you said,” Morgan said, and to let people ascertain how they should judge Fuentes based on his statements.
Any moral person who watched Morgan’s solid interview would find Fuentes to be a racist fraud. But Fuentes, due to being charismatic and at times a great orator, will have his braindead minions who will claim that he won the interview. Rolling Stone has declared that Fuentes has “won” by being normalized and being mainstreamed — and to an extent, the magazine may be correct.
Fuentes told Morgan he “doesn’t hate any Jews,” but said he is against “world Jewry” and that there is a sense of peoplehood in which Jews see each other as above others.
He told Morgan he considers Hitler to be very cool and that Jews use the Holocaust as a “get out of jail free card.”
“Jews and Christians have never been friends,” Fuentes said.
Fuentes said past comments when he questioned whether gas chambers were real was a joke, yet he also told Morgan there should be debate as to how many Jews were murdered in the Holocaust.
Morgan asked Fuentes if half his family had been killed by Hitler, would he still think the man was very cool. Fuentes, of course, had no answer.
“Every now and again, the mask slips,” Morgan admonished Fuentes.
Morgan also showed how to interview a 19-year-old, Jew-hating influencer named Guy Christensen. Morgan asked him if Hamas murdered Jews for political reasons, and Christensen agreed that took place. Morgan explained that this is the very definition of terrorism and Christensen, who has more than three million TikTok followers, was shown to be a total fool and he was visibly uncomfortable when he said Hamas were resistance fighters and not terrorists, only to see that by definition, he said they were.
Will either idiot lose followers? Perhaps not. But Morgan did a good job interviewing two fools. They need not be interviewed by anyone else.

Israeli Druze Leader Seeks US Security Guarantees for Syrian Minority

Israeli Druze leader Sheikh Mowafaq Tarif urged the United States to guarantee the security of the Druze community in Syria to prevent a recurrence of intense violence earlier this year in Sweida, a Druze-majority province in Sunni-dominated Syria.
Washington needed to fulfill its “duty” to safeguard the rights of Syria’s minorities in order to encourage stability, Tarif told Reuters on Tuesday during an official visit to the UN in Geneva, adding that US support would also remove the need for Israeli intervention in Syria’s south.
“We hope that the United States, President Trump, and America as a great power, we want it to guarantee the rights of all minorities in Syria … preventing any further massacres,” he said.
US President Donald Trump vowed in November to do everything he can to make Syria successful after landmark talks with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa.
BLOODY CLASHES IN JULY
The Druze are a minority group whose faith is an offshoot of Islam and have followers in Israel, Syria, and Lebanon.
In July, clashes between Druze and Bedouin residents broke out in Sweida after tit-for-tat kidnappings, leading to a week of bloodletting that shattered generations of fragile coexistence.
The violence worsened when government forces dispatched to restore order clashed with Druze militiamen, with widespread reports of looting, summary killings, and other abuses.
Israel entered the fray with encouragement from its Druze minority, attacking government forces with the stated aims of protecting Syrian Druze and keeping its borders free from militants.
Tens of thousands of people from both communities were uprooted, with the unrest all but ending the Bedouins’ presence across much of Sweida.
In the aftermath, Druze leaders called for a humanitarian corridor from the Golan to Sweida and demanded self-determination, which the government rejects.
‘NEED TO REBUILD TRUST’
Asked about proposals by influential Druze Sheikh Hikmat al-Hajari to separate Sweida from Syria, Tarif took a different stance, stressing the need for internal autonomy or self-governance within Syria as a way of protecting minorities and their rights and pointing to federal systems in Switzerland and Germany as examples.
It was inconceivable to ask the Druze to surrender their weapons, he said. Talks to bring Sweida’s former police force onto Damascus‘ payroll — while allowing the Druze to retain wide local autonomy — had been making steady progress until July’s bloodshed derailed them.
Al-Sharaa, a former al Qaeda commander who led rebel factions that ousted former long-time leader Bashar al-Assad last December, has vowed to protect the Druze. However, Hajari insists he poses an existential threat to his community and in September rejected a 13-point, US-brokered roadmap to resolve the conflict.
Asked if talks should be revived, Tarif said trust had to be rebuilt by allowing residents to return to their homes, and permitting full humanitarian access to Sweida.
“There is no trust today … Trust must be rebuilt,” he said.

Lebanon Foreign Minister Declines Tehran Visit, Proposes Talks in Neutral Country

Lebanon‘s foreign minister Youssef Raji said on Wednesday he had declined an invitation to visit Tehran for now, proposing instead talks with Iran in a mutually agreed neutral third country, Lebanese state news agency NNA reported.
Raji cited “current conditions” for the decision not to go to Iran, without elaborating, and stressed that the move did not mean rejection of dialogue with Iran. He did not immediately respond to a request from Reuters for additional comment.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi had extended the invitation last week, seeking talks on bilateral ties.
Raji said Lebanon stood ready to open a new phase of constructive relations with Iran, on the condition that ties be based strictly on mutual respect, full recognition of each country‘s independence and sovereignty, and non-interference in internal affairs under any pretext.
In an apparent reference to calls to disarm Iran-backed Hezbollah, the Lebanese terrorist group, Raji added that no strong state could be built unless the government held the exclusive right to hold weapons.
Hezbollah, once a dominant political force with wide influence over the Lebanese state, was severely weakened by Israeli strikes last year that ended with a US-brokered ceasefire. It has been under mounting domestic and international pressure to surrender its weapons and place all arms under state control.
In August, Iran’s top security official Ali Larijani visited Beirut, warning Lebanon not to “confuse its enemies with its friends.” In June, Foreign Minister Araqchi said Tehran sought a “new page” in ties.

Iceland to Boycott 2026 Eurovision in Protest of Go-Ahead for Israel

Iceland will not take part in the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest, the country’s public broadcaster RUV said on Wednesday, after organizer the European Broadcasting Union last week cleared Israel‘s participation.
The decision to allow Israel to take part in the next Eurovision, which will be held in Vienna in May, earlier prompted Spain, the Netherlands, Ireland, and Slovenia to withdraw in protest, citing Israel‘s conduct in the Gaza war. Israel waged a two-year military campaign against Hamas after the Palestinian terrorist group invaded the Jewish state, massacred 1,200 people, and kidnapped 251 hostages in October 2023.
“It is clear from the public debate in this country and the reaction to the EBU’s decision last week that there will be neither joy nor peace regarding RUV’s participation,” the broadcaster’s Director General Stefan Eiriksson said in a statement.
Iceland was among the countries that had requested a vote last week on Israel‘s participation. But the European Broadcasting Union, or EBU, decided not to call a vote on Israel‘s participation, saying it had instead passed new rules aimed at discouraging governments from influencing the contest.
Iceland has never won the song contest but came second in 1999 and 2009. The Eurovision Song Contest dates back to 1956 and reaches around 160 million viewers, according to the EBU.
