It's not easy to deal with Piers Morgan these days, especially if you are a Jewish guest on his show. Many have been triggered, shouting and screaming in response to his bullying. Not Daniella Weiss though.

Daniella Weiss, a prominent leader of the Israeli settler movement Nachala, appeared on *Piers Morgan Uncensored* in a contentious interview that sparked widespread discussion. Morgan, known for his confrontational style, pressed Weiss on the deaths of Palestinian children in Gaza since the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack, accusing her of indifference and questioning her stance on Israeli settlements. Despite Morgan’s repeated attempts to provoke her, Weiss maintained her composure, delivering firm responses and deftly handling of the host’s aggressive questioning.
According to reports from *Israel National News*, Morgan challenged Weiss on her lack of remorse for Palestinian casualties, asking, “You don’t care how many die in the process, do you?” Weiss countered by attributing the deaths to the Arab education system, stating, “I think that the parents should be very careful before they teach the children to hate Jews and to kill Jews,” and urged, “Stop educating children to hate.”
She framed the conflict as a consequence of the October 7 massacre, maintaining her position that Israeli actions were defensive. Morgan, visibly frustrated, accused her of lacking empathy, but Weiss remained unflappable, sticking to her narrative about the necessity of Israeli settlements and security measures.
The interview, part of a broader debate on Israel’s actions in Gaza and Judea and Samaria, also featured guests like Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, Cenk Uygur of *The Young Turks*, and columnist Matthew Syed. Clips shared on X show Morgan grilling Weiss on her ambition for Palestinian removal from Gaza, to which she responded without conceding ground, prompting Uygur to lose it (as he often does) and to call her a “terrorist” for her hardline settler views.
Weiss’s calm demeanor contrasted with Morgan’s heated approach, with some describing her as “unsettlingly serene” while defending her vision for Israel.
Piers Morgan's relentless bullying, repetitive questioning, trying to provoke guests on his show and painfully arrogant sermonizing wasn't going to this grandma down.
Not everyone agrees. Journalist Shai Golden describes Piers interview with her as "horrific" and "terrible damage," and concludes: "Let us quit while we're ahead. Daniella Weiss is really enough."
