ONDON — In what was expected to be the equivalent of an intellectual WrestleMania, the Piers Morgan and Jordan Peterson chat about the Israel-Hamas war and that spicy “Give 'Em Hell” tweet turned out to be more of a tea party. "Was this a debate or a buddy movie audition?" one fan wryly noted. "Piers, usually a lion, seemed more like a purring cat with Peterson. Was there a yarn ball involved?"

Social media nearly choked on its tea. "Did Morgan spend more time with Peterson than his entire pro-Palestinian guest list combined?" quipped one user. Another joked, "Peterson's been more emotional watching a sunset than discussing Gaza."

And then, there was the fashion moment of the hour: Peterson's 'Heaven VS Hell' get-up. "Was it a statement, or did he just miss a Halloween party?" one tweet mused.

Behind the chuckles lies a grim reality: Gaza's heartbreaking devastation. The death toll? Nearly 8,500. And yes, that includes about 3,500 children. Peterson, often the tearful philosopher, kept his tear ducts on lockdown.

Adding spice to the mix, Netanyahu's Amalekites reference in the context of Palestinians left many scratching their heads. "Was it a cryptic message or just a biblical pop quiz?" wondered a confused viewer.

But leave it to Peterson to serve up the quote of the day: "Victims easily claim the moral high ground." Critics responded with a collective, "Say what now?"

In the maze that is the Israel-Palestine discussion, one truth emerged: While debates about the Israel-Palestine conflict are complex and emotions run high, many agree that clarity, sensitivity, and understanding are crucial in public discourse, especially when lives and longstanding historical tensions are involved.
