Guy Backfired Spectacularly
Piers Morgan Shreds Israel-Hater Guy Christensen in Explosive Debate | WATCH
Piers Morgan obliterates TikTok activist Guy Christensen in a fiery “Antisemite of the Year” showdown, exposing his defenses of embassy killings and viral hate.

Piers Morgan delivered a brutal takedown of TikTok influencer and self-proclaimed pro-Palestinian activist Guy Christensen during a fiery segment on Piers Morgan Uncensored, accusing him of glorifying terrorism and fundamentally misunderstanding the term after Christensen refused to condemn the murder of two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington, D.C.
The clash unfolded on Thursday's episode, dedicated to debating the Stop Antisemitism advocacy group's annual "Antisemite of the Year" nominees.
Christensen, a 24-year-old American was nominated for his viral posts that critics say downplay Hamas atrocities and traffic in antisemitic tropes. The panel also featured fellow nominee and The Young Turks co-host Ana Kasparian, Israeli influencer Hen Mazzig, and Jewish comedian Jake Donnelly (aka the "Red, White and Blue Jew").
The episode quickly escalated when Morgan pressed Christensen on a recent incident: the November 2025 shooting deaths of two Israeli diplomats by a Palestinian gunman in broad daylight outside the Israeli Embassy in D.C. Christensen, who has over 500,000 TikTok followers and a history of controversial content (including faking his own death for clout in 2024), dodged direct condemnation, instead pivoting to grievances about Israeli policies in Gaza.
"You justified the murder of two Israeli embassy workers," Morgan fired back, his voice rising. "With all due respect, you obviously have no idea what the word terrorism means." The line, delivered with Morgan's signature incredulity, went viral instantly, with users hailing it as a "demolition job."
Christensen stammered in response, arguing that "context matters" and framing the attack as "resistance" amid the Israel-Hamas war.
He claimed his nomination was a "smear" for simply "speaking sympathetically about Gazan children," echoing defenses of other nominees like children's YouTuber Ms. Rachel. But Morgan wasn't having it, interjecting: "This isn't about sympathy, it's about endorsing cold-blooded murder on American soil. If roles were reversed, you'd be screaming bloody murder."The exchange drew sharp reactions from co-panelists.
Kasparian, defending Christensen at first, pivoted to criticize the awards as "overreach," but Mazzig pounced: "This is why people like Guy get airtime, to expose the ignorance." Donnelly quipped that Christensen's "agenda got obliterated" by one question, turning the debate into a broader referendum on free speech, antisemitism, and the post-October 7 surge in online hate (up 300% per ADL reports).
Christensen's defenses crumbled further when Morgan grilled him on specifics: Why glorify violence against civilians? Why traffic in tropes like "Zionist control" without evidence? Visibly flustered, described by viewers as "looking like a fool" and "humiliating himself," Christensen resorted to what critics called "shallow deflections," mumbling about "systemic oppression" without addressing the diplomats' deaths directly.
This isn't Christensen's first brush with controversy, he's faced fierce backlash for past posts, including one praising "intifada" tactics and another falsely claiming Israeli forces target kids. Morgan, no stranger to Israel-Palestine fireworks (he's hosted heated exchanges with everyone from Cenk Uygur to Israeli Ambassador Tzipi Hotovely), framed the debate as a litmus test: "Antisemitism isn't 'context' - it's hate, full stop."
As one X user put it: "Piers didn't just win, he exposed the emperor's got no clothes."
