Anti-genociders being labelled antisemitic is one thing. Don’t forget that many such people have also been locked up and/or banned from protests. What is happening in Palestine (now also Lebanon and soon Iran) is being done as a joint operation by the entire Western establishment. To do that they have abandoned any pretence at democracy by turning the media into government propaganda mouthpieces and pushing through legislation which makes it an offence to publicly resist by direct action or even by peaceful protest.
The terrorizing of Gazans by Israhells soldiers have been on social media for a few years now. I have seen them and posted them. Even after the 7th, people ignored or disbelieve. Americans can be to puffed up, arrogant, to believe what is right in front of their nose.
It’s amazing that a year ago we were also arguing if Israel had bombed a hospital; fast forward to today and there are no functioning hospitals left in Gaza. The incremental increase in depravity is extremely unsettling.
@@avengah Israel is in the past 50 years a agressor. The reason for it are occupied territory. Or do u want to tell me, russia is not a agressor cause it occupies Ukraine territory? Gaza was occupied until 2004. Palestine is recognized by 75% (Spain and some other are joining it and the % will grow to 85%) of the world. These include Gaza, East Jerusalem and the West Bank. De facto, if you occupy the West Bank in violation of international law, this is Palestine. Also read The UN General Assembly (GA) Resolution A/RES/ES-10/24 adopted on 18 September 2024. And dont forget, to read the 18 years of Israeli occupation of Southern Lebanon as well and the result of it. The name of the Result is Hezbollah.

I’m from Cork Ireland 🇮🇪 and I would never have any reason to listen to listen to a British radio station. But about 3 years ago I came across James on TH-cam and I was in awe of his beautiful mind. He is so talented and sharp you’d want to up very early in the morning to catch him out 😂 James is a brilliant journalist 👏
I was speaking with someone about Israel's invasion of Lebanon and shooting at UN peacekeepers. Said person promptly trotted out "if you think Lebanonese lives are important, do not forget Israelis were killed on 7 Oct." Once again, some people choose to be wilfully ignorant and refuse to be reasoned with.
I was in the US Army and served in Iraq, I could not imagine the American public's perspective if we did a tenth of what the Israelis have done. There were definitely War crimes in Iraq, but not to this level. How can you win a war without protecting as many civilians as possible? It would create more attrition and deaths if you didn't for the troops and it undermine the entire goal. The only reason I could think is they don't want to "win", but a land grab. If you wanted to "win", you wouldn't turn the entire population against you
Agree...I'm no fan of US policy but the Americans would never have carried out these attacks, they would not have used 2000 ilbs on built up Urban areas...
It’s ridiculous, so much attention to this war, why? Why all these people don’t care about others war? Why every step of Israelis army is under the microscope?
Well said James. It is a pity the British Government and People in Authority do not have the courage to speak out against the actions of the Israeli Government.
James, why you sound so shocked? This is literally how Israel was formed in the first place. No one has stopped them. No one has enforced any right of return from 1948 or.Why would they think it's wrong to do it again?
It was never about Hamas or the hostages. It is all about Lebensraum and “Greater Israel”. Israel created the opportunity to take over more land from other nations by putting Palestinians in a giant concentration camp-Gaza and ghettos-West Bank.
Netanyahu created and funded Hamas for the purpose to create conflict so he could start his war to destroy Gaza and eliminate Palestinians from the region in order to develop a greater Israeli state He also wants southern Lebanon and has begun his war there
@chatham43 I don't condem antisemitic rhetoric Netanyahu caused this back lash against Israelis when he started his war in order to build a greater Israeli state
Concentration Camp ? Life expectancy in Gaza before the war was 74 years Life expectancy in a Naatsee Conc camp was 1 hour. Even in the Warsaw Ghetto it was 3 months. Don't be silly !
@@jonathanrees8288 it's not just about land and oil it's about power and control. Israel wants to take out Iran, Syria and any nation which is against them.the Saudis, Jordan, Egypt, Turkey, etc are with Israel because they have taken no action at all, they just talk. Israel plans to rule the world through US gov and the media and banks and other big corps they own. They want to spread indecency and hardship through gov policies. China, India, Russia won't succumb to them hence they are planning on bringing them down. We need Democracy 2.0 to stop this.
If you cannot criticize a government, that government is not democratic. Democracy needs criticism to function effectively: it's hard-baked into the political philosophy.
(FWIW, I'm an atheist and I disagree with the above proposition, but I don't like to see other people's views misrepresented, especially when it's then used as a blunt analogy.)
Fact is, this is all made possible through US,UK funding. LOL, USUK are funding and protesting all at the same time, and everybody fell for it, UK's been planning all this since 1948!
I’m sick of that country playing the victim the whole time and reflexively calling anyone and everyone who criticises it ‘anti-$emitic’. They do it on purpose to repress legitimate outrage.
I'm amazed that you, James have not publicly apologised for only now coming to the realisation that Jeremy Corbyn was attacked and vilified for having the opinions you are only just now discovering and you yourself happily branded him anti-semitic. Jeremy Corbyn was once again on the right side of history, and you pushed him under the bus.
Many politicians are misquoted and treated badly. Is it time to move on from "Corbyn was wronged"? What are people trying to achieve and why is it more important than death? Surely the effort and media space should be focused on how to make Israel stop...
If hating war, if hating watching innocent people being burned to death in refugee camps, if believing Netanyahu is a madman is antisemitic, I'm very sorry to say, I'm exactly that.
@chatham43 I've reported you several times. I've told you I don't speak to you because you're abusive. I've threatened to get the police involved. I'd believe that if I were you.
It is better to be called names than to lose one's humanity and decency. We shouldn't care about people attacking us for doing what is right and calling out evil.

Illegal settling should be condemned on all fronts. Israel can't defend taking land which clearly breaches international law. If they think that it's acceptable, should they be supporting Russian annexation of Ukraine as well?
Ukraine is a State. The “Palestinian” leadership has repeatedly declined to support the creation of a Palestinian state. Land for peace has never worked.

Unfortunately the majority of Israelis couldn't care less about the Palestinians. Gaza land is even being marketed in the US. This is not the first time Gaza land is being marketed in the US. How low can you get? It's about time the nonsensical and feeble accusation of anti-semitism at those who criticise Israel's crimes is rejected and outlawed.

I solute you Mr James for telling the hard truth that many are afraid to say it. Big respect
James is a real man!!! Not scared of anyone, speaking the TRUTH!!
@Layla Being accused of AS is disgusting..because AS is disgusting!
Truth to power !!!
They did the same to Jeremy corbyn called him anti semitic for calling out the truth
Corbyn was and is in no way antisemitic however he had a weakness in dealing with it when it was found.
He gave the Tory friendly media the molehills to grow into mountains.
And 'they' included O'Brian
@@jn4126 exactly. O'Brien was one of the chief peddlers of this establishment stitch up
To be fair, Corbyn did write the forward to a book, knowing it had anti-semitic comments in it. It's a bit of a giveaway. So either Corbyn didnt bother to read the book - negligent, or supports its message.
loosing its sting.....
James is not anti-Semitic. He is telling the truth.
Your two sentences are mutually contradictory.
thank you for not backing down on this. what you’re doing is absolutely crucial in combatting the extreme pro-israel bias in mainstream western media that horribly dehumanizes a group of severely oppressed people. you give me a glimmer of hope.
Is someone calling you antisemite james? Remember Corbyn…
@Giovanni He certainly roundly condemned any anti-Semitism....just like you!
I wonder has it dawned on him yet how this works. He has eventually become the target just like Corbyn.
@brendan Nothing worse than being labelled anti-Semitic when you find anti-Semitism totally unacceptable.
He was calling him an antisemite, wasn't he?
@@chatham43 gosh do you not get an hour off? That's a hard slog.
Thank you so much for using your platform to speak this truth. I was really encouraged to hear you speaking about this
It's almost as if that was the plan from the start.....
There was and Hertzl even wanted parts of Lebanon in the colonial Israeli state.
It was the plan from the start….
A plan that was waiting for an opportunity.
Which makes one ponder about the events of Oct 7 ...
The Palestinians and their advocates said this during the first week. They know who the settler colonial "chosen people" are.
You are not anti semetic you are speaking truth to power..
Don't you know truth in itself is antisemitic!!
James O'Brien is one of the rare gems of western media journalists that isn't afraid to speak up. Absolute respect to him, and to LBC allowing him to have this voice.
He certainly spoke up against Corbyn for arguing this same case that he's putting forward now. He needs to apologise.

Is it true James O'Brien was unhappy her listening figures were rising and listener surveys found her more genuine than him by a huge percentage?
A big respect to you James. Thank you.
I’m from Cork Ireland 🇮🇪 and I would never have any reason to listen to listen to a British radio station. But about 3 years ago I came across James on TH-cam and I was in awe of his beautiful mind. He is so talented and sharp you’d want to up very early in the morning to catch him out 😂 James is a brilliant journalist 👏
I know Cork very well. Whereabouts? And I do know what the Irish flag looks like😊
This was their plan all along.
I was speaking with someone about Israel's invasion of Lebanon and shooting at UN peacekeepers. Said person promptly trotted out "if you think Lebanonese lives are important, do not forget Israelis were killed on 7 Oct."
Once again, some people choose to be wilfully ignorant and refuse to be reasoned with.
It seems there are some who believe ONLY Israeli lives matter
They are full of entitlement and unaccountability.
It’s called supremacy … they genuinely believe they are above all others.
@@daverunkie9853 and racism
Amen. This historic inhustice did not start on october 7!
I was in the US Army and served in Iraq, I could not imagine the American public's perspective if we did a tenth of what the Israelis have done. There were definitely War crimes in Iraq, but not to this level. How can you win a war without protecting as many civilians as possible? It would create more attrition and deaths if you didn't for the troops and it undermine the entire goal.
The only reason I could think is they don't want to "win", but a land grab. If you wanted to "win", you wouldn't turn the entire population against you
What are the IDF's RoE in this conflict?
Can you imagine?
yes the media has a blanket blackout on anything Arab
Agree...I'm no fan of US policy but the Americans would never have carried out these attacks, they would not have used 2000 ilbs on built up Urban areas...
The War in Iraq was a war crime in and of itself.
Actually the US killed many more civilians in Iraq (also when taking into account combatant to civilian ratio)
You deserve a Massive respect James❤❤❤ true humans love you & your way of life.
Questioning war crimes is not anti semitic
But anti-Semitic rhetoric must be questioned!
It’s ridiculous, so much attention to this war, why? Why all these people don’t care about others war? Why every step of Israelis army is under the microscope?

@@moonamir9708 you lot lie so much you dont even realise you're doing it anymore
Now you know exactly how Corbyn felt James...
Well said James. It is a pity the British Government and People in Authority do not have the courage to speak out against the actions of the Israeli Government.
because they're afraid of getting called antisemitic.
Because they are all bought and paid for.
They are paid to turn and look away
Britain is not pro Israel - our political class is, the majority of us are not being represented properly.
the illusion of democracy
Actually, we are pro-Israel. Our political class i.e. the government is overwhelmingly pro-Hamas
So very true, millions of us support palestine
Face facts the population is so thick they believe whatever they are told to believe.
SO TRUE. When has a right wing government ever spoke for the majority!.
James, why you sound so shocked? This is literally how Israel was formed in the first place. No one has stopped them. No one has enforced any right of return from 1948 or.Why would they think it's wrong to do it again?
James … I have watched you for 4 years “ and really you were at you best today! Well done fella …. Brilliant!!
Yet when Corbyn was pointing all this out James was there with the rest crying antisemitism
Corbyn wrote the forward to a book with anti-semitic comments. Ignorance, negligence or agreed with them?
Yessir....Still waiting for his apology on that
@@snoopy_peanuts_77 You'll get that the same day he says something about Sangita getting cancelled for criticizing Israel.
You're not lying however he is about the only one I can listen to on here since Sangita got blackballed
@zamp Which we all...along with Jezza...totally condemn!
They’re doing a fine job of causing a tsunami of hatred themselves.
It was never about Hamas or the hostages. It is all about Lebensraum and “Greater Israel”. Israel created the opportunity to take over more land from other nations by putting Palestinians in a giant concentration camp-Gaza and ghettos-West Bank.
That’s all it was about.
@anna But like James you rightly condemn anti-Semitic rhetoric. We're all with you there!
Netanyahu created and funded Hamas for the purpose to create conflict so he could start his war to destroy Gaza and eliminate Palestinians from the region in order to develop a greater Israeli state
He also wants southern Lebanon and has begun his war there
@chatham43 I don't condem antisemitic rhetoric
Netanyahu caused this back lash against Israelis when he started his war in order to build a greater Israeli state
Concentration Camp ?
Life expectancy in Gaza before the war was 74 years
Life expectancy in a Naatsee Conc camp was 1 hour. Even in the Warsaw Ghetto it was 3 months.
Don't be silly !
Their society is sick
I still don't understand why it is acceptable in the media to be anti-Palestinian but not anti-Israeli.
still don't understand why it is acceptable in the media to be anti-Semitic but not anti- pally ? .... (amended for factuals)
What did you think they were doing? It's ALWAYS been about the land.
And resources
Hence, October 7 attack
Shoosh! Or gotta tag and label you antisemetic
And oil.
@@jonathanrees8288 it's not just about land and oil it's about power and control. Israel wants to take out Iran, Syria and any nation which is against them.the Saudis, Jordan, Egypt, Turkey, etc are with Israel because they have taken no action at all, they just talk.
Israel plans to rule the world through US gov and the media and banks and other big corps they own. They want to spread indecency and hardship through gov policies. China, India, Russia won't succumb to them hence they are planning on bringing them down.
We need Democracy 2.0 to stop this.
Even Italy has ceased arms sales to Israel. The UK, not yet.
The uk don’t sell arms to Israel just widgets
There’s still selling them arms, but they are not going to renew contracts or sign any new ones.

@@alee3079it makes little difference when we're supplying anyway. It was just a token gesture to make it look like we disagreed.
If you cannot criticize a government, that government is not democratic. Democracy needs criticism to function effectively: it's hard-baked into the political philosophy.
You are absolutely brilliant James, thank you for this, my sentiments entirely.
@julien Mine too. Anti-semitic rhetoric must be questioned and condemned unconditionally! Well done James
Rhetorical question;
what's the difference between "the chosen people" and "the master race"?
There isnt one.
Never were a chosen People invented by Israël
about 80years
There isn't because they don't exist.
(FWIW, I'm an atheist and I disagree with the above proposition, but I don't like to see other people's views misrepresented, especially when it's then used as a blunt analogy.)
Don’t stop James 👍❤️
Im tired of this anti semitic card.

Where this man gets the courage to speak the truth when he knows he will be hated.
We now live in a world where people are afraid of honesty, to be honest is dangerous but it is also true bravery
This 'War' was never about the Israelis that were murdered or hostages. Its about taking more land from Gaza and Westbank.
...... and now the Lebanon. Something they've been trying to do for generations.
Fact is, this is all made possible through US,UK funding.

Perhaps we should have listened to Jeremy Corbyn more instead of labelling him ‘anti-Semitic’ ?
Illegal settling should be condemned on all fronts. Israel can't defend taking land which clearly breaches international law. If they think that it's acceptable, should they be supporting Russian annexation of Ukraine as well?
Ukraine is a State. The “Palestinian” leadership has repeatedly declined to support the creation of a Palestinian state. Land for peace has never worked.
They've been doing it in the West Bank for decades. They don't care about international law.
