She got angry when James mentioned the Palestinian boy who was killed in America because he's a Palestinian.
Yeah she didn't want to hear it
Of course she sees non Jews as goyim (cattle)
So the killing of one Palestinian boy is equivalent to a war?
He was very strategic, unravelling her cognitive dissonance.

"drain the sea to find a fish". Great phrase.

People need to stop equating the criticism of Israel as anti-semitism. Is criticising Iran Islamaphobic? No, they are governments who are not above reproach. I only wish the UK and US governments had the backbone to step in and stop taking sides.
To be fair, you'd find a lot if fish. They'd all be dead, but there they are.
"We don't behave like those animals" and off comes the mask.
Exactly 😂
WOW.
So Hamas aren’t animals ?
Have we not learned that classifying groups of people as animals/subhuman/less than ends very badly? This really worries me.
@@karlmilham4956she made the comment in the context of the IDF having cut off water and electricity to Gaza whilst ordering 1.1 million people to move,. We don't behave like those [Hamas] animals. Therfore attempting to write off these human rights abuses with a single comment, also due to context it is a reasonable inference that she has conflated the people in questionie Gazan civillians, with Hamas.
She's obviously not bothered about Palestinians dying, horrible woman

"Each year approximately 500-700 Palestinian children, some as young as 12 years old, are detained and prosecuted in the Israeli military court system. The most common charge is stone throwing." how can the world explain that
They where caught throwing stones....
Do your kids throw stones at the army or police? No because you didn’t teach them to do that. These kids are brainwashed. They are taught to hate Jews from childhood. They are taught that killing every Jew or martyring yourself in the process is the way.
Shame on you for not learning the facts
How would you like teens who throw stones at you, your house & car to be dealt with?
@@davidz3879 Throwing stones at you whilst you are are an invading force occupying their lands? You realise the stone throwing takes place in the West Bank right? Remind me who the West Bank belongs to at the moment under International law?

Save the hostages by carpet bombing the area? Make that make sense
And then blame the Palestinians for their deaths.
Netanyahu failed to protect the Israelis from that atrocious Hamas’ attack and now he is deflecting attention from his failure by trying to destroy all Palestinians. His main objective has been not to protect his nation but to be PM. The Strongman populist redirects the hurt and anger of his nation to Gaza’s civilians.
No, let's give the enemy electricity and medical equipment that make sense. It's kind Britain will think about giving electricity to the nazis during world war.

She will be on Twitter now calling James an anti semite and Hamas sympathiser. She started with the whole sympathy and anti semitism angle to set up for her point...
And she will tag campaign against antisemtism all the Isreali right wing newspapers. Tomorrow he will be on all thier front pages as an antisemite. Then he will get an avalanche of hasabara trolls on his Twitter. That is how deplorable these people are. Imagine what they do to Palestinians.

Basically, what she’s saying is that Jewish lives are important and Palestinian lives aren’t…
Interesting how her position goes from a sad bewildered person who can't look at the imagery of people being taken hostage to an angry, ardent supporter of Israeli invasion into Gaza under the premise of hostage rescue.
J O B's tw*ttish passive aggressive condescension will do that to anyone
Well done on James for shaming her
No that makes sense, thats how civilians go from shellshocked "how could this happen?" to "end the threat, make it go away, our tribe over all till the end". She's just hasn't caught up to herself that something has changed in her and the rest of her hasn't caught up yet.
It's almost as if people now believe that self declaration as a Jew entitles you to see Palestinian children as cannon fodder.
When the IRA warned people about imminent bombings, no one thanked them for it. This caller must get awful headaches from her cognitive dissonance.
She is faking her outrage. So many Israel supporters have said 'I am Jewish, I am in anguish' and then they just pivot to defending what the Israeli government is doing. These people often have no connection to the actual victims made my Hamas. And every question they start with 'But Hamas X but Hamas y'. These people are hijacking the suffering of others to defend their own politics. Which in this case are quite violent.
Notice how she got more irritated when James mentioned the Palestinian girl being murdered in America
Always the same when extremism is stoked. In the uk a trans child aged 14 was murdered by two other kids. It hardly got media coverage but since all the anti trans stuff it's clear what all this hate does. How disgusting and sad innocent people die because of nutcases!
It was a six year old boy, his mother is in critical condition in hospital its so sad.

This poor poor mouthpiece for Israel, is so sickening, and James is brilliant pointing it out!
Someone has to. The brainwashing and gaslighting is on a totally different level!
It's not even about revenge it's about trying to take more and more land they've been doing this for 75years plus
The problem with her argument about moving 1.1million to safety is that they were demanded to move into an active war zone. If they said “we’ll stop bombing the south so you have somewhere safe to go”, you could accept that but they increased the bombing of central and southern Gaza at the same time they encouraged people to go there, they even bombed the evacuation route.
Exactly. Humanitarian corridors are part of warfare. If we accept that the IDF are targeting Hamas and Hamas only, there would be a humanitarian corridor. But it’s everyone - children, the sick, pregnant women, the elderly.
Even Russia and Ukraine were able to negotiate some humanitarian corridors. Not enough, but some.
Why could you accept that? It is a war crime to displace civilians.

@@JwayTplease explain why Hamas can’t be his friends?
I heard a doctor in Gaza explaining the other day that evacuating a thousand patients, many of them seriously injured, is simply impossible. I didn't think that needed to be explained, but apparently it does. I don't think many of the hostages are going to make it either.
It's not just the doctors in Gaza saying this, even the UN is appealing to Isreal, as usual, they have no regard for any laws or opinions. We in the West are the Frankenstein that created this monster.
I don't so either, not when the hostages have been denied food and water for days because of the Israeli blockade along with the civilians.
Sadly at this point it's 200 hostages vs 2.3 million hostages. I am dreading the next few days because I fear an awful lot more people will be dead and absolutely no-one wins here.
Israel is an apartheid state with an Illegal settlement expansion. Also, while Jews have historical ties to the region dating back 3,500 years, the Canaanites, who are the ancestors of the Palestinians, had already been established there long before the arrival of the Jews.
Holding a party close to a region marked by significant and systemic oppression (i.e. Gaza which is an open-air prison), especially when such oppression is executed as "collective punishment" by one's own government, reflects deep insensitivity. As individuals, confronting injustice is not just an option, but a duty; that is the stance they should have adopted instead of dancing around.
It is important to note that they were on land that is internationally recognized as Palestinian territory, which has been occupied illegally by Israel. Simply put, they should not have been on that land.
@@waterbearer4627 Because Hamas won’t free them - two wrongs don’t make a right… Work it out if you can…
"Hamas are animals" "they don't care about civilians" yet cutting off power, water, food affecting 2 million people is meant to help make them release their hostages. Several hostages have died beneath rubble so how does it help. The instant they go in all the hostages are dead so i'm with O'Brien on this one.

Israel has written off the hostage. We saw an Israeli rep asked about this the other day and he said the priority was destroying Hamas. A notional hostage rescue attempt would be extremely dangerous and unlikely to succeed; that answer can only mean they aren't even going to try.
It should also be remembered that in 2018 the Palestinians held the"Great March of Return"; it was non-violent and civilian. Israel responded by gunning them down en masse.
Why do you ignore all the attempts to break through the barrier fence and to send incendiary balloons into Israel? As usual, Hamas used its people as cover for violence and you aren't bothered by it.
@@avishevin1976how dare the prisoners attempt to break out of their concentration camp
Let's also keep in mind that if Israel had not stopped using eyes on the ground, perhaps 7/10 wouldn't have happened at all and this video wouldn't exist. Israel went non-violent and Hamas took it to 9000.
It doesn't make what hamas did any less vile .
How to be rude and treat someone who sounded very intelligent with distain .shame on James's .
In Nigeria Boko Haram took over 200 school girls hostage, the Nigerian government with the help of a PMC, were able to find close to 200. Do you know what they did to do that, they gathered intelligence, set up a special forces task group and did raids on suspected locations, while on a wider mission of reducing boko harams influence in those regions. They did not just start blasting and blow up every city in their way k ill thousands of civilians and find no hostages, except when they did small missions that have low civilian casaulty rates, almost like k illing all those civilians is just a sick and twisted version of revenge. There were unfortunately civilian de aths, and 71% of people who joined Boko Haram was due to a dea th of a family member from the Nigerian armed forces or STTEP the pmc Nigeria was working with. This shows how kil ling civilians does nothing but hamper efforts.
That was hostage situation within Nigeria whereas here hostages are taken to another country controlled by another regime !!

I usually disagree with James politically, but I am with him on this. I just heard a TalkTV presenter say that of course Israel should be doing everything it can to exact revenge. Not protect itself, not defend itself... "exact revenge"! And he's not the only one publicly saying this! Has the UK really regressed to an eye for an eye justice now? We are all being deliberately whipped up to a blood thirstiness I have never witnessed before. Even 9/11 wasn't anything like this.

Typical argument from that woman, all emotion zero substance. If there was any intention to rescue the hostages they wouldnt have flattened all the buildings where they might likely be.
This woman is absurd
Hostage rescue can and does involve an exchange for prisoners…that is not even on the cards, it seems. If the Israeli govt truly wanted the hostages back they would at least attempt hostage negotiations first, whether directly or through intermediaries.
This is vengeance enacted for hideous crimes, which were themselves vengeance enacted for hideous crimes, which were enacted as vengeance, which was enacted as vengeance, and so the cycle goes; vengeance will only ever beget more vengeance.

How people try to justify such horrific actions is beyond me.
Israel says Gazan civilians are dying because Hamas is using them as human shields. They issue warnings, and anyone who doesn't leave is then at risk of death by airstrikes.
Now, unless the basic concept of hostage-takers has changed in recent months, hostages can't heed those warnings. The hostage-takers, if using Gazan civilians as human shields, would have no qualms about using the hostages as human shields too. So Israel's defence about Gazan deaths is the exact reason why hostages will die. It isn't a hostage rescue. Any hostages that make it back to Israel do so through sheer luck that they didn't get hit by an airstrike.
If, on the other hand, Israel was keenly aware of the exact locations of the hostages, they'd be doing a terrible job of rescuing them, because they appear to be too busy bombing the rest of Gaza to actually perform hostage rescue operations.
Then again, Israel may assume that the hostages are all in the tunnels. You know, the ones they've started flooding. Everyone knows that terrorists sink and hostages float, so obviously this is a state-of-the-art hostage rescue tactic.
She how she calls the civilians as animals, this is why they have a complete disregard for civilians life. Both sides have done pure evil
She didn't !! She called the Hamas animals. Play it again, Sam.
"both sides" except if you ask any rational person if they support hamas, they will say definitely not. But many people who consider themselves rational, when asked if they support the IDF, will say of course.

She begins with the victim stuff softly spoken. Is exhausted traumatised! For a moment I thought she’d lost family members and was myself going to become sad. However she then shows her true self and becomes animated and describes the Palestinian hostage takers as animals. She hasn’t lost any family she’s on this show to empathise not with humanity and human suffering but only to feel compassion for the Israeli Jewish girl that was taken hostage. This woman hasn’t called into any programme to complain support or show compassion for Africans beaten killed or the plight of aborigines.

😂😂😂
Tbf pre 9/11, it was customary to try to negotiate with terrorists in control of a plane but now it is customary to shoot it down for obvious reasons. Sometimes hostages are nothing more than a shield to enable a terrorist to carry out attacks with impunity. And with Hamas, we've already seen evidence of one murdered hostage so I don't think it's a stretch to assume they are all dead no matter what Israel does short of a completely lopsided prisoner exchange which I doubt Hamas honestly believes Israel is going to be willing to do at this point since it would bolster Hamas forces.
@@RetractedandRedacted yeah best not negotiate and just blow up all of Gaza because if we're not careful, Hamas might fly Gaza and crash it right into Tel Aviv.

Imagine saying this isn't a fair fight because ... Iran while the USA backs your side with two Aircraft carriers.. No, it's not a fair fight Israel has always had the advantage.
You speak what inside everyone who's hurting from seeing children being bombed but you put together even better, thanks a lot mate.
Anti Corbyn and anti Palestinian? Colour me shocked!
👏
this is brave...for some people this scrutiny would be a career ender...like oh...Jeremy Corbyn
Absolutely right, its not a Hostage Rescue. Thanks for your rational Analysis.
Thank you for asking the right questions. Its complex and most people do not understand the history of this tragic situation that both sides find themselves facing. At the same time there is lots of dis/misinformation on Social media. Collective punishment that also puts the hostages at risk should not be conflated with the view that the actions will actually result in rescue of the hostages. According to me Israel is just retaliating to save face. In my opinion their actions in Gaza will merely result in the elimination of the hostages either by IDF actions or by actions of Hamas leadership. I believe that Hamas leadership are not idiots. They know the consequences of their heinous actions and are ready to pay the ultimate price together with the Israeli hostages and innocent Palestinians that have been hostages to Israel in Gaza for 16 years. All sides are trying to score points in a devastating situation for both sides.
I wonder if as a species we will ever get pass our clan mentality and think of ourselves as a singular race on a singular planet.
Nope, maybe when we finally go extinct the universe will be much better off?
Not in our life time 😢Dublin ireland
Not while so many people prefer myths and superstitions to reason, facts and evidence.
@@AndyCampbellMusic This magic book says your house and country belongs to me!! Get out Gentile!!
At the end of the day, we’re still primates and will act accordingly.
Your daily reminder that people of all cultures and faiths can be easily mislead by the media
So they just killed 3 of their own hostages while signing a gas deal on to mine lucrative trillion dollars of gas in Gaza.
The Israeli Government would absolutely love to rescue hostages but they have gone " scorched Earth " on this now and I reckon they are prepared to sacrifice those hostages.They treat Palestinians like dogs then act shocked when the dog bites back. Israel - always the victim, never their fault. For the record what Hamas did was evil.
The hostages are just collateral damage to the state of Israel.
Listen to the words she uses. He knows she's a professional spokesperson for Israel
You're wrong. Israeli spokespeople speak with clarity and facts. She's just a person disgusted with hams, like the rest of us.
Why have those terrorists taken British hostages .
Those that cut the heads off babies are sub human.
😂 hilarious
Hilarious is not a word I would use. Sad and depressing are more to the point I think.@@FaceFcuk

Michelle says that Jews are far better at 'doing' things rather than speaking before being grateful we don't have Corbyn as PM - but the irony is, for all the things Corbyn ever said whilst in Labour, his parliamentary record when it comes to votes supporting Jewish communities is outstanding. Don't take my word for it, it's a matter of public record; in 2003, Corbyn was among the first MPs to sign EDM 123, explicitly condemning antisemitism, in 2009, he signed EDM 850, congratulating Jewish News on an investigation into antisemitism on Facebook, in 2013, just five months after his Facebook comment about the mural, Corbyn was one of only thirty-three MPs to sign EDM 1133, condemning antisemitism in sport and calling for the adoption of all necessary measures to combat it. These are but a few examples. So when she says she can only imagine what Corbyn's premiership would have looked like, all she need do is look at his voting record as an MP
Anyone that shows an iota of sympathy for the Palestinians is an anti semite for Jews. I’d back Corbyn again and again .
James and Sangita are doing the most ❤
THE devastating situation in Gaza is escalating and the suffering of innocent Palestinians are at their highest.🙏
The hospitals are running out of beds and medical supplies😰
Children are starving and are in a state of total fear and shock.👌💯
The Israeli government is cruel😭
its always been cruel
Remember Hamas knew there would be retribution. They bid weapons and themselves in tunnels below hospitals, schools, civilian sites instead of storing food and medicines for Gaza people.
@@RJ-ql6ff civilians get murdered by the IDF by the hundreds every year, if you lived in gaza you would try and resist as well.
Hamas murders their own by keeping them as human shields@@MusMasi
Just cruel, downright evil.
James is in danger of being called an anti-semite.
we all are, just mention Corbyn and the Zionits will scream antsemite in your face.
He is a balanced person. Just because he is willing to question and taken a stance for humanity, does not make him anti anybody. He is just taking a fair stance.
Why would James be called an anti-semite ? He's only doing what the rest of us have been doing.... assessing the proposed invasion... the goals, the risks, the civilian death, and yes.. the potential for successfully rescuing hostages. It deserves airing, and is neither anti-semitic nor anti-Israel state.
The caller should not feel like most of us are against her or Israel per se. People are against furthering the deaths, and furthering recruitment to Hamas.
@@sc405 I agree. He is a balanced person. Some of the callers on the other hand...
Lol honestly this gave me a laugh JOB balanced haha as the ego maniac himself would say give your head a wobble
I love how unbiased he is, or at least always tries to be. The reality is that Isreal and need have eaponized the word "anti semetic" so that whenever they are criticized or if someone tries to see BOTH sides of this conflict they are quick to call it "anti semetic" sentiment. It's a disservice to the jews that experience ACTUAL anti semitism and, in the long run, dilutes the impact of that word
A bit like the black community and BLM
You're watching a guy who has weaponized the word "Islamophobia"
This isn't unbias, it's a typical left wing view and they have chosen their team.
She's completely wrong. People want to believe their side is being honest and is justified in their behaviour even when it's obviously not the case
Hostage situations are usually successfully resolved by diplomacy or special forces or the involvement of 3rd parties.
Can anyone recall a time when an urban mass hostage situation was successfully resolved by sending in the army?
From 1300 dead Palestinians to possibly over 20,000 I wonder If this woman is still of the opinion that this is a rescue effort??
Shameless attack from the first caller on a politician who no longer holds a position. And, he never was a threat to any community.
James, the calmness with which you dismantle these bogus arguments is a delight to watch.
Finally James dealing with this issue with absolute compassion for both sides than he did early last week.
Well done James 🙏🏽
Facts this is proper reporting. None of that nonsense on Talk Tv and Gb news
@@DonR-zb2cm TALK TV and GB news isnt reporting . Its pathetic Political Hate speech
Shame he couldn't extend his compassion to Corbyn. He was cheering when Starmer booted him out.
@@RR-sp3ey So was I . Not because I disliked him or even most of his policies but because he was never going to be elected and the party was disintegrating under him. Compassion doesn't come into it. Labour was in danger of becoming a permanent party in opposition. If you want proof of that you should note that even now they attack Starmer because of his support for Corbyn.
@@RR-sp3eyCorbyn is dangerous and shouldn't be anywhere near parliament
Ask her how many Palestinians children are. Jailed in Israel?
Staggeringly, for the first time, I find myself in agreement with O'Brien.
Likewise. The mission for the Israeli Defence Force is to destroy HAMAS. If they rescue any hostages that would be a bonus.
If Israel values the lives of it's citizens as this lady suggests, and given the kind of response they have undertaken, I wonder if there are any Israeli hostages at all!!
I love how she started with the sad story.
Thank you, James, for demonstrating compassion for both sides. Unfortunately, the true motive behind this call only became clear towards the end. It's crucial for our current world leaders to intervene and find a resolution, or else the cycle of violence will continue
Thanks James , you are a brave , kind hearted man
Poor old James - there are people who disagree him - shame on them.
Michelle tried to be smooth until it came to having to face the totality of the conflict.
Excellent dismantling of her ridiculous point not even an argument!!!
and after 7 months of this video, it aged like fine wine. It was NEVER a HOSTAGE RESCUE Attempt.
Huge respect James
When some people don’t want to think critically, and need to believe something, there is no way you will ever get them to think that their views are wrong.
This is a great example of one person coming in soft and quickly getting emotional while the other keeps calm and keeps control of conversation
Michelle of Barnet is most definitely the 1st if you hadn’t guessed 😂
“Wouldn’t you take the hostages with you” she can’t see the logic of anything been said.
I'll never forget being at the Jewish community centre in Finchley Road, when my mate was doing the lighting, my friend and I came along as his guests. England were playing Argentina, then a news bulletin at half time announcing that Israel were bombing Palestine, the roar of cheer and jubilance, it was surreal. Just sharing an experience.
How sad 😢
They didn’t care about hostages either
Her poor husband. Solidarity brother ✊
Amazing how simple questions can debunk simple lies.
The patience of this man is deep
When they cut off the water do they think the hostages are going to get first dibs of any little water remaining?
When 97% of water is also undrinkable for years
You gotta hand it to this journalist… I wish they were all like him…
