Rabbi Shmuley Boteach engaged in a heated exchange with anti-Israel commentator Cenk Uygur on Piers Morgan's show, delivering a forceful defense of Israel. Boteach accused Uygur of antisemitism and historical ignorance, asserting that Arab leaders have repeatedly rejected statehood offers throughout history, including in 1936, 1947, 1967, 2000, and 2008, opting instead for terrorism.
During the debate, Boteach highlighted what he described as Western hypocrisy, pointing to Hamas's alleged diversion of international aid intended for Gazan children to construct an extensive network of terror tunnels. He questioned Uygur's silence on this issue and on the Syrian civil war, where Bashar al-Assad's regime has been accused of mass atrocities.
Boteach concluded by stating that Uygur's focus on blaming Israel demonstrates a hatred of Jews rather than a genuine concern for Arab children, accusing him of distorting reality to condemn Israel at all costs.
