Episode Details

Tonight, Piers Morgan explores the growing debate around artists, free speech and the right to say “Free Palestine”, including the controversy surrounding Ed Sheeran and Macklemore. 

And with President Donald Trump warning that he is considering whether to “wipe out” Iran, Piers sits down with Professor Norman Finkelstein to discuss the Middle East conflict, asking him if he stands by his view that Israel is ‘a nation of child killers’. 

Then; Israeli activist Hen Mazzig, ‘cancelled’ former Mumford and Sons musician Winston Marshall and System Update host Glenn Greenwald join Finkelstein to further the debate on cancel culture and whether dissent is increasingly being shut down.

Plus Piers speaks to Arab Barghouti, the son of Palestinian political activist Marwan Barghouti, who is serving multiple life sentences in Israel and has been dubbed ‘the Palestinian Nelson Mandela'.
