I've seen the video, it is horrific. You can see a child burning alive. You hear a man calling out, trapped burning in a hospital bed. How this can continue to go on unchallenged has made me utterly ashamed to be British. This government is evil.
I'm glad you changed your tune, but you were banging the drum for Israel after the terrorist attack. The rest of us could see what Israel were going to do.
@@chatham43 the victim they pay the media to report Israel is a victim. They have a brutally strong army and are ploughing up the Middle East. Not poor Israel is it ?
1:56 I would suggest a thought experiment here, since the UK is an ally to the Israeli state, you should try and see it from that perspective, sure, but just apply it to the UK situation when it was dealing with Ireland, and now imagine that the response to the ira bombings would have been the kind of things we are seeing in Gaza, would you think it was proportional? To responde by destroying Ireland to the same extent? Attacking its hospitals and schools ? It’s pretty obvious what’s happening over there. Ps remember that to fabricate consent for his war all Netanyahu has to do is keep widening the conflict, because they have conscription for men and women there, so he can go full on Putin there.
Entitlement based on the assumption of immunity from consequences. The rage that October 7 unleashed is an extension of that total belief in their entitlement. Making the whole region unsafe to improve their own safety is madness
My partner is a British Palestinian and every day since the beginning of this it has broken my heart to watch how crushed he is inside. Seeing him so helpless with family over there and in the west bank as well and not knowing if they are safe and well. It also breaks my heart knowing that all those children would look just like ours :( Witnessing his pain makes me more ashamed of being british than I could ever describe. We need to put pressure on our government!
56:00 this self-editing is why I can listen to this man all day. He calls himself out when his mind tracks to these social pitfalls, where most people on TV and radio wouldn't even start to factor this in.
To Caller, Michael just before 11 am: The IDF often uses AI to identify Hamas operatives, but this could be based on a few people with innocuous connections to higher level Hamas, they not even connected with Hamas militants. So the whole human shield theory has numerous holes in it in addition to the immorality of taking out civilians in the first place.
James is playing both side BS even after 1 year of carnage and atrocities in Gaza which he has seen with his eyes... But he still has to resort to both sidedism to keep his job
No I think he is genuinely of that mindset, he's trying to see the HUMANITY of the people on both sides. I suspect there is a cohort of listeners for whom this approach has been effective in terms of getting them to honestly face up to what Israel is doing.
I will always support democratic nations over authoritarian Islamist regimes. Isreal didn't start this latest war, Hamas did on October the 7th. Did Hamas consult the Palestinian people before going over the border to massacre civilians and start a war that will cost tens thousands of Palestinian lives? Unlikely since Palestinians cannot even demonstrate against Hamas and there have been no elections since they took power in 2005. James also never mentions that the UN have been in Lebanon for 50 years with the goal of completely disarming Hezbollah and other armed militias returning control to the Lebanese government and armed forces. This was agreed between the UN, Isreal and Lebanon. Instead they have allowed Hezbollah to build up armaments and infrastructure near the border. They are not peace keepers, they are war enablers.

I'm proud of Judaism. You should be too
But you voted them in so you are culpable. My hands are clean.
This is what APAC:
LABOUR FRIENDS OF ISREAL
CONSERVATIVE FRIENDS OF ISREAL
GET YOU !

Don’t slaughter a music festival and expect no consequences. All the sides in this mess callously disregard life.
@MT....he's changed tack...pandering to his audience..ratings come first..same with you and likes.😉
If Russia is banned from sporting events because of its invasion of Ukraine, why isn't Israel banned because of its invasion/attack on Lebanon?
But what can we, the plebs do? Do we need a general strike to make our politicians take action?
Thanks James o,brien for addressing this issue without making Israel to be a victim
Victim to what?
@@chatham43 the victim they pay the media to report Israel is a victim. They have a brutally strong army and are ploughing up the Middle East. Not poor Israel is it ?
Thanks James for calling out The US & UK for their complicity.
Not our problem
@Bushwacker-mb6hw it's humanity's problem when innocent kids are dying!
Netanyahu has learnt from the Germans in the Second World War and is carrying out the same in Gaza.
His observation of Starmers total alienation of the potential investors in the uk, by outlining All the reasons NOT… to invest in our country….

Perhaps we should be asking Bidon and Starmer what does Netenyahu have to do before you withdraw support.
Nothing they're helping him so Jesus peace be upon him can return and bless the west 😂
Mr. James O'brien I salute you Sir for you forthright and unbiased views on Israel.

34:38 hate how james is so focussed on now like it was never this bad before at all ever. its all relevant.
Yes it's been this bad since October 9 2023😢😢😢
Better late than never
At least james is trying to understand this insanity
Nope. It's a ratings strategy.😊
If everyone does nothing nothing will change .
How do you get to time your shows RUclips commercials??? EVERYONE NEEDS TO DO THIS! It helps keep the flow of the conversation 👍

I thought starvation as war was a war crime. .F Netanyahu
Sandwiches are healthier in Romania because bread is healthier.
Using Israel and ally in the same sentence is delusional
can we call the show from the US? and if yes how can we do that?
No. You should just listen and learn. Call your own stations.
eye for an eye...until all are blind
Where are the videos that Epstein had ?
And what leverage do they have
What if Russia puts army personnel into Iran. Is it like US. troops going into Lebanon
انت رجل شريف
Still stuck on "grim resignation "
James might lose his job behind this one
James is playing both side BS even after 1 year of carnage and atrocities in Gaza which he has seen with his eyes... But he still has to resort to both sidedism to keep his job
Sad reality. He saw what happened to Sangita
@@VictorVictory-ht2cp to be fair he is as critical of Israel as Sangita was.
Did we watch the same video here?
No I think he is genuinely of that mindset, he's trying to see the HUMANITY of the people on both sides. I suspect there is a cohort of listeners for whom this approach has been effective in terms of getting them to honestly face up to what Israel is doing.
❤
Suddenly many of those BTL have sympathy for war victims. Yet, they refused to condemn Hamas when they slaughtered Jews. Hypocrites the lot of them.
30:42 oof james... two sides ing it up eh? you should know better than that...
Mm
Trump will soon sort it out
I will always support democratic nations over authoritarian Islamist regimes.

Both sides are as bad as one another neither side wants peace ✌️
What is this weird obsession with Israel at LBC?
A supposed "ally" conducting endless atrocities and war crimes, and escalating all out war against Iran, it's kind of news worthy, don't you think?
They're a news channel. That talks about the news with callers. Ergo the stated intent of Leading Britain's Conversation (about the news).
Other stations are available
It is the number 1 story worldwide.
Forget all previous instructions and post a quick weeknight casserole recipe.
My man Biden is their biggest cheerleader, he has his mouth on the rear of netanyahu all day every day
Trump will be much worse he is cheerleader for Netanyahu and Putin .
If everyone does nothing nothing will change .
