Author Douglas Murray has clashed with The Young Turks founder and host Cenk Uygur over the proportionality of Israel’s offensive in Gaza.

The Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry claimed at least 20,000 people have been killed in the Gaza Strip since Israel launched its offensive, which was in response to the Hamas attack which killed about 1,200 Israelis.

Sky News Australia host Piers Morgan acted as the mediator as the two guests put forward both their arguments.

Mr Murray accused Mr Uygur of “smearing” the Jewish state with claims Israel is committing genocide.

“None of the stats support that ridiculous claim, it's such a weird smear and a libel of Israel,” Mr Murray said.

Mr Uygur, meanwhile, called for “peace and security” for both Israel and Palestine as he accused the IDF of “indiscriminately” killing Gazans.

    Calling Cenk Uygur a 'big brain' is hilarious.
  • @drgonzo305
    Calling Cenk a “big brain” is like calling him the peak of human physical fitness. It’s simply not true and a lie of biblical galactic magnitude
  • @andrewross4685
    As usual, Cenk brings emotional pleas and ad hominem to an argument where his opponent is using facts.
  • @rickchanwk
    Anyone still calling for a two state solution has just been born yesterday and yet to read up history.

    Cenk: "I don't trust Hamas, but let me quote their numbers..."

    🤡🤪🤣
  • @Davtheimpaler
    I find cries of genocide a little hypocritical from someone who named his show after the Turkish leaders that committed the Armenia genocide.
  • @Kanzer7TS
    God, every time Cenk opens his mouth I detest him more. I didn't think that was possible at this point!
  • @emiranup
    So the Palestinians can send the rockets over to Israel, but cry when they are returned.
  • @Tarmac76
    Cenk just rants, shouts and lies. Douglas mopped the floor with him.
  • "clashes with Cenk Uygur" ? I think they meant "utterly destroys Cenk Uygur".
  • Its rare that you can witness the difference between intelligence and stupidity in such clarity
  • @Franklin-pc3xd
    Classing Cenk Uygur as a "big brain" is like classing Burger King as a health food restaurant.
  • UK government needs to reassess the migrants supporting Hamas. Agree with Murray, they should be deported back to Gaza to help their wounded.
  • Why do people not bring up Egypt and how Egypt has locked their border? Wouldnt an arab help another?
  • @legolads1732
    Egypt didn't build a wall on it's border with the Gaza Strip for nothing. And they are not building a bigger wall right now for nothing. The Egyptians don't want even ONE Palestinian in it's country. Ask yourself why that is...

    Cenk really needs to stop acting like he knows anything at all. It's embarrassing.
