Live from the news building in London, this is Piers Morgan Uncensored.

Well, good evening from London. Welcome to Piers Morgan Uncensored. The parallels between 9-11 and last week's atrocities in Israel are painfully obvious.

These were murderous terrorists,

religious fanatics who killed with barbaric impunity on sovereign land. As I said yesterday,

the proportion of the Israeli population murdered in these attacks was equivalent to 30,000

Americans being killed on U.S. soil. It's so wonder Israelis expect a strong response.

And Israel, as I keep saying, has every

right to defend itself from Hamas going forward. But the aftermath of 9-11 taught us some tough

lessons too. Across the Western world, there was a fervor for revenge. President Bush spoke for

many when he said this. I can hear you.

I can hear you.

The rest of the world hears you.

And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon.

With popular rhetoric, with that yearning for justice, took America and its allies, including

Britain into a trap. First came to war on terror in Afghanistan that lasted 20 years, cost

more than $2 trillion to countless lives and ultimately ended with the Taliban back in charge of the country.

Next came the illegal invasion of Iraq, which had nothing much to do with bin Laden or al-Qaeda and turned into a disaster.

More than a million died.

Iraq became a breeding ground for ISIS and a mysterious excuse for the war that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction turned out to be a credibility-slaying lie.

Well, this situation is very different, but the potential perils are the same.

There's no dispute that Hamas committed these attacks because they've repulsively boasted about it and threatened more.

But a full-blown invasion of Gaza will be horribly difficult to execute.
