CNN Panel Explodes When Liberal Guest Claims Israel Invaded Gaza Like Russia Invaded Ukraine
A CNN panel discussion quickly veered off the rails when one guest claimed that Israel had invaded Gaza in much the same way that Russia invaded Ukraine.
The conversation took place on “CNN NewsNight,” hosted by Abby Phillip, and spiraled out of control when “The Majority Report” host Emma Vigeland argued that the United States lacked credibility in addressing the conflict between Russia and Ukraine after supporting Israel.
“I do think that the kind of elephant in the room here is the United States completely losing, and the Biden administration is immensely complicit in this as well, moral standing throughout the world due to our complicity in the genocide in Gaza. Which has made it very difficult for us to speak to Ukrainian sovereignty and having a bully like the Russian government invading their sovereign territory” she said.
Conservative commentator Scott Jennings was clearly taken aback, but when he attempted to debate the point, Phillip called him off and said there wasn’t time. Jennings pressed onward regardless, undeterred.
“We have to debate this, Abby. Oh, we don’t have time for the anti-Israel propaganda?” he began, and everyone at the table began talking at once. “Unbelievable. October the 7th was fine? Yeah, unbelievable.”

“Oh well, we let it unspool for two minutes. But sure. I mean, honestly, I don’t understand. Israel is our ally. Not a single word in your speech for the atrocities that were committed on October the 7th. Not a single word,” Jennings continued.
“There shouldn’t be,” Vigeland doubled down. “We should cut off arms tomorrow.”
“Not a single word for the idea that Israel has every right to defend itself,” Jennings said, and Vigeland could be seen laughing as he added, “Not a single word for the fact that Hamas right now is killing people inside of Gaza — their own people. You seem to lay it all at the feet of Israel. Israel, a democratic ally, and your own country, and you have no negative word for the terrorists who raped and murdered and kidnapped, zero.”
Vigeland protested, saying that B’Tselem, an Israeli “human rights group” that has a clearly anti-Israel agenda, had referred to the situation in Gaza as a “genocide.”
“None, none,” Jennings said. “And you still don’t. You still don’t!”
