In one of the most electric moments on live television this year, Iranian activist and lawyer Elica Le Bon looked Cenk Uygur straight in the eye on Piers Morgan Uncensored and delivered a line that has already gone viral:“Antisemitism is a mind virus and you’ve lost your mind.”

Uygur, co-founder of The Young Turks, immediately fired back with the familiar script:“We’ve heard that garbage over and over to shield Israel from criticism!”

The exchange exploded across X within minutes and is now being hailed by many as the definitive shutdown of the night.

Le Bon, who has become one of the most outspoken Iranian-American voices against the Islamic Republic, refused to let the deflection stand. She and fellow Iranian-Canadian activist Gigi Ghamari spent the segment pressing Uygur and Dave Smith on the Iranian regime’s brutality, forced hijab, mass executions, support for terror groups, and the oppression of women, only for Uygur to repeatedly pivot to Israel.

Instead of engaging with the facts about Iran, Uygur defaulted to the well-worn tactic: label any mention of antisemitism as a cynical shield for Israeli policy.

But Le Bon wasn’t having it. Her calm, precise takedown cut through the noise and exposed exactly what so many critics have been pointing out for years: the moment you call out Jew-hatred dressed up as “anti-Zionism,” the same people instantly cry “you’re just protecting Israel.”

Elica Le Bon didn’t raise her voice. She didn’t need to.

She simply named the virus and watched Cenk prove her point in real time.

And five million people witnessed it.
