Piers Morgan is having a field day. It’s his wildest fantasy come true.

He is so tickled, I heard he may even send a check to Israel’s Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben Gvir, for giving him so much extra fuel for his obsessive mantra criticizing Israel in general and Ben Gvir and his ideological boogeyman twin, Bezalel Smotrich, in particular.

Piers Morgan chants, “Ben Gvir and Smotrich, Ben Gvir and Smotrich” in his British accent, like a broken record.

Piers loves conflating these two as representatives of Israel and everything bad about Israel. And of course, with Ben Gvir and Smotrich in his crosshairs, there’s “evidence” of genocide, ethnic cleansing and apartheid, even if it’s not true. But with “Ben Gvir and Smotrich” mantra, facts don’t matter. It’s good for the click-hungry Piers Morgan show.

It also doesn’t matter that, according to most polls in Israel, Smotrich and his party will not even pass the minimum threshold to enter the next Knesset. This is the true demonstration of how much he represents, or in fact does not represent, Israel. Piers does not care about facts.

In the 24 hours since Ben Gvir released a video of himself taunting people detained from the latest flotilla seeking to violate Israel’s security and embarrass Israel in succession, one flotilla at a time, what’s become the lead news story after Iran is how most of Israel abhors what Ben Gvir did. Israelis in every media, cafes, and other venues are decrying Ben Gvir’s antics.

He’s being described as foolish, amateurish, and having damaged Israel’s credibility.

Piers won’t pay attention to this reality, just how he can use Ben Gvir to boost his ratings and blacken Israel’s........
