Gaza journalist Omar Abd Rabou, known for his harsh criticism of Hamas, reached out to British television host Piers Morgan seeking help escaping the Gaza Strip. In recent months, the journalist has testified that Hamas operatives subjected him to attacks and abuse.

 In recent days, Rabou asked his followers to help him leave Gaza and relocate abroad. According to his statements, he suffers from severe psychological distress and could become a victim of murder at any moment.

In a post on X, Rabou wrote to Morgan, "I don't know you, but I believe your voice could make a difference. I'm trapped and in danger—please read my tweets and help bring attention to my situation."

Recently, Morgan, who has millions of followers, sparked controversy on X after the release of the shocking video of Evyatar David, claiming that Israel supporters reject Palestinian casualty figures published by Hamas but don't question the authenticity of Israeli hostage videos released by Hamas.

Roger Waters sparks outrage, denies Hamas rapes in heated interview https://www.israelhayom.com/2024/07/02/roger-waters-sparks-outrage-denies-hamas-rapes-in-heated-interview/ https://www.israelhayom.com/2024/07/02/roger-waters-sparks-outrage-denies-hamas-rapes-in-heated-interview/#respond Tue, 02 Jul 2024 08:47:22 +0000 https://www.israelhayom.com/?p=970631   Roger Waters has ignited a firestorm of controversy for denying that Hamas terrorists raped Israeli women during their brutal onslaught on Oct. 7, despite ample evidence to the contrary.

Roger Waters has ignited a firestorm of controversy for denying that Hamas terrorists raped Israeli women during their brutal onslaught on Oct. 7, despite ample evidence to the contrary.

In a combative interview with British journalist Piers Morgan, the former Pink Floyd bassist insisted that "There's no evidence of that," to which Morgan swiftly countered, "The truth is there is, and even the UN has evidence."

The United Nations confirmed in May that Hamas terrorists had perpetrated sexual violence on Oct. 7. Similarly, while being interrogated by the IDF, a Hamas terrorist confessed to raping an Israeli woman during the massacre, as did his father and cousin. In addition, Amit Soussana, who was held in Gaza for 55 days after being abducted from her home on Oct. 7, recounted the horrific sexual assault she endured while in captivity in a chilling testimony to the New York Times.

The tension escalated further as Waters expressed skepticism about Hamas' abduction of infants and seniors. When the conversation turned to Kfir Bibas, who at nine months old became the youngest Israeli hostage taken on Oct. 7 along with his mother Shiri and four-year-old brother Ariel, Waters falsely claimed the infant had been released in a hostage exchange. Morgan corrected him, stating, "Kfir Bibas has not been released." Visibly agitated, Waters shot back, "You're making that up."

Further challenging, Waters posed a provocative question: "Wouldn't it be great if there was a real investigation to debunk all the disgusting lies the Israelis told after Oct. 7?" When pressed by Morgan to provide examples, Waters cited "burning babies and raping women." As Morgan insisted, "The truth is women were indeed raped," Waters remained steadfast in his denial, reiterating, "There is no evidence of that."

Waters' stance has put him at odds not only with many fans and public figures but also with former bandmates. David Gilmour, his one-time collaborator in Pink Floyd, has publicly rebuked Waters' comments, arguing that they tarnish the band's legacy.

Other music industry titans, including Mick Jagger and Elton John, have too denounced Waters' statements, declaring that his views cross ethical boundaries and that antisemitism has no place in the world of music.

The Campaign Against Antisemitism group tweeted, "There have been numerous accounts of the horrific sexual violence carried out by Hamas on 7th October and against the hostages in Gaza. Roger Waters flat-out denies that women were raped. This truly makes for a nauseating viewing."

The explosive interview marks the latest chapter in Waters' long history of controversial statements regarding Israel. His comments have previously triggered a wave of condemnation from Israeli politicians and Jewish organizations worldwide. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described Waters' rhetoric as baseless and full of hate. Representatives from prominent groups such as the Anti-Defamation League and the Center for the Study of Antisemitism have not only condemned his statements but also called for a boycott of his performances.

In a rare and emotionally charged interview, actor Kevin Spacey openly addressed his past behavior, acknowledging that he had been "pushing boundaries" and admitting to being overly physical with people. The two-time Oscar winner, whose career came to a grinding halt after multiple allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced in 2017, spoke candidly with Piers Morgan for his "Uncensored" program.

During the interview aired on June 11, the 64-year-old actor broke down in tears, revealing that he is on the brink of bankruptcy and will lose his Baltimore home due to the immense legal debt he has accrued. This admission sheds light on the personal and professional consequences Spacey has faced in the wake of the allegations.

The accusations against Spacey began in Oct. 2017 when actor Anthony Rapp claimed that Spacey had made a sexual advance toward him when Rapp was just 14 years old and Spacey was 26. This allegation proved to be the catalyst for Spacey's fall from grace, as he was swiftly fired from his starring role in the acclaimed Netflix series "House of Cards" and found himself at the center of the #MeToo movement.

In the years that followed, Spacey faced multiple legal battles, including charges of groping an 18-year-old at a Massachusetts bar in 2016, which were later dropped when the accuser refused to testify. Additionally, Rapp sued Spacey for sexual assault and sexual battery in 2020, but Spacey was found not liable on all counts in a federal civil court two years later.

Last year, Spacey was acquitted in a UK court of sexually assaulting four men during his tenure as the artistic director of London's Old Vic Theatre between 2004 and 2013. However, he faces a civil trial in the UK next year after being sued by a man claiming Spacey sexually assaulted him.

During the interview with Morgan, Spacey acknowledged his "bad behavior" and admitted to "touching someone sexually in a way that I didn't know at the time they didn't want." When challenged by Morgan on the term "groping," Spacey stated, "I personally, I have caressed people. I have been gentle with people. That is the way that I am."

Spacey further expressed his understanding of the power dynamics at play, stating, "Recognizing that, understanding that and making a vow that that will never happen again for the rest of my life. I will never behave in the ways that I did previously, ever."

The actor also revealed that in the aftermath of the 2017 allegations, there were "a couple of times when it was very dark and when I was at my lowest," highlighting the personal toll the controversies have taken on his life.

As Spacey continues to navigate the legal and personal challenges before him, this interview offers a glimpse into his efforts to confront his past actions and their consequences, while striving to chart a path forward in an industry that once celebrated his talents.

Morgan, 55, left ITV's Good Morning Britain on Tuesday after his long-running criticism of Meghan intensified in the wake of her interview with Winfrey. Morgan said on Good Morning Britain, among a torrent of other criticisms, that he did not believe a word Meghan had said. In a Tweet, he called her "Princess Pinocchio."

"On Monday, I said I didn't believe Meghan Markle in her Oprah interview. I've had time to reflect on this opinion, and I still don't. If you did, OK," Morgan said in a Tweet on Wednesday morning.

"Freedom of speech is a hill I'm happy to die on. Thanks for all the love, and hate. I'm off to spend more time with my opinions," he told his 7.8 million Twitter followers.

ITV confirmed Morgan's departure from the program in a statement saying, "Following discussions with ITV, Piers Morgan has decided now is the time to leave Good Morning Britain. ITV has accepted this decision and has nothing further to add."
