Yeah, they say rules based order to mean that the US gets to subvert international law. They take advantage of the fact that it sounds vaguely like they’re talking about international law in a wordier way, but it’s quite literally the opposite of respecting international law
The people born and raised in Israel didn’t have a choice. It is their home and they have a right to defend themselves. Once multiple generations have lived in a land coexistence is the only option. There’s no getting the toothpaste back in the tube.
This framing about Netanyahu is tiring. The reality is, if he is found guilty (and he is), then hundred of generals are guilty, journalists are guilty, their society is guilty. It is like a domino effect and therefore, the US is guilty, the E.U is guilty and the UK too. It is in the interest of our leaders that he remains innocent.
We have to lose this illusion that the political and upper upper class are necessary for our societies to function. Took us thousands of years to lose the religious class, or at least see them demoted.
Let's not pretend that it'll have any consequences. European and US leaders put a blind eye to a lot of the crimes comitted by the Naz1s for political gain. None of those people ever faced any repercussions. You really think anybody outside of Israel will ever be held accountable for anything related to this conflict?

The US is run by a Zionist mafia that only believes in international law and the "rules-based order" when it alone can make up the rules and be in control. Like typical gangsters when confronted with lawful indictments that don't suit its supposed interests they issue threats against the lawyers and courts.
Hi James, I too used to think "International rules based order" meant obeying international law. I understand that the US uses this phrase to say "do what we want because we have more and bigger weapons than you do". I prefer to use the phrase "international order arising from compliance with international law" which means what I want to say, rather than a phrase which has been distorted and abused by bullies.
Yeah, the US relies on people using the phrase incorrectly so that people assume they respect international law when what they’re really saying each time they invoke it is we will do what’s in our best interest rather than following international law.
James is an important voice for calling out the right wing in this country. I hope he and his followers have learnt from their mistakes, they collapsed to the right wing framing on Corbyn, and used the same smears that he is receiving today.
Problem is it’s not just the right wing. In the US and UK, establishment liberals are just as bad as the conservatives on this issue, the only difference is they make occasional declarations about how “concerned” they are about civilians while continuing to send the arms and funding to keep it going.
The problem is both sides of the establishment spectrum support this behavior. The only difference being one side says they are “concerned” while they send the funds and arms to carry all this out.

Pierre Poilieve, the guy who wants Canadians to elect him as our next Prime Minister has no problem with war criminals like Netanyahu coming to Canada and hanging out with Pierre and his party members. The fact that Netanyahu and Gallant are convicted war criminals, guilty of the murders of tens of thousands of women and children civillians is not a problem for Pierre Poilieve. He sees no requirement for Canada to live up to its obligations to the International Criminal Court. Obviously he is NOT Prime Minister material. He is not even elected and is already showing he would have no problem ignoring the ICC. Just as he has ignored repeated requests to obtain a security clearance. Canadians and the world deserve much better of a person who wishes to become Prime Minister of Canada.
These are the same people that say to black people, who say they are disproportionately stopped and searched ’if you have done nothing wrong then you don’t need to be worried’ I say to honest Bob if Netanyahu has done nothing wrong, let the process happen and you will have nothing to worry about… ok pumpkin 😉
There is no comparison between the sort of poor representation and railroading black people face vs the absolute elitism of Netanyahu and Galant . They will have the very best defence none of it funded by themselves
Completely different. The evidence is clear with what’s going on in Gaza in terms of civilian death and that needs to be investigated. Friends and family I know that are black and have been stopped and searched……..it’s not based on evidence that they’re linked to a crime it’s based on how they look
The “rules based order” the Yankies bat on about isn’t the ICC and ICJ. It’s something completely different. It’s more like “we set the rules for you, and you will happily follow them”.
I'm stunned that a person who instigated an insurrection was not arrested on Jan 7 2021...but hey, the rich n powerful have put themselves in a place where no laws apply to them.... And deserved chaos and calamity will inevitably follow.
The arrest warrants are not being welcomed by people who have an interest in defending a far-right government that practices apartheid and illegally occupies and now also starves a stateless people. Some of those people might also think that they themselves are complicit in the kind of actions that the ICC is accusing Netanyahu and Gallant of and do not like how the arrest warrants reflect upon their unwavering support of the actions of the Israeli government and of the IFD in Gaza. Most importantly, those people want heads of governments (the ICC deals with individuals, after all, not with States, which is what the ICJ deals with) to be able to do whatever they want, whenever they want without any accountability whatsoever. Tune out their noise. We all have eyes and ears. The ICJ is still assessing the case that South Africa brought before it.
Accountability is only meant for western enemies, not allies(no matter what they do).

Rules based order! - America makes the rules and orders everyone else to obey them
🎯 * A citizen of the USA
"we make the rules and we give the orders" -US state Dept
Yeah, they say rules based order to mean that the US gets to subvert international law. They take advantage of the fact that it sounds vaguely like they’re talking about international law in a wordier way, but it’s quite literally the opposite of respecting international law
His supporters are also after the riches beneath the ground in Gaza.
the legal process should be respected
I disagree with what was said at the end. Israel never had the right to defend itself on a territory it had been occupying.
@@vendysmith4886 So, does Russia have no right to defend itself on the Donbas?
@@stephfoxwell4620Dombass voted to rejoin Russia. The west just doesn't acknowledge it.
The people born and raised in Israel didn’t have a choice. It is their home and they have a right to defend themselves. Once multiple generations have lived in a land coexistence is the only option. There’s no getting the toothpaste back in the tube.
What territory israel occupying? They completely left Gaza in 2005
@olgakessel4101 and raised a prison wall and set a blockade controlling everything going in and out of Gaza.
This framing about Netanyahu is tiring.
The reality is, if he is found guilty (and he is), then hundred of generals are guilty, journalists are guilty, their society is guilty.
It is like a domino effect and therefore, the US is guilty, the E.U is guilty and the UK too.
It is in the interest of our leaders that he remains innocent.
Very true, but, I think there's a get out, others can say the lie "We didn't know!"
We have to lose this illusion that the political and upper upper class are necessary for our societies to function.
Took us thousands of years to lose the religious class, or at least see them demoted.
Not necessarily.
When Slobodan Milosevic was arrested, tried , found guilty and imprisoned the rest of the Serbians went on about their lives.
I'm a journalist. What am I guilty of?
Let's not pretend that it'll have any consequences. European and US leaders put a blind eye to a lot of the crimes comitted by the Naz1s for political gain. None of those people ever faced any repercussions. You really think anybody outside of Israel will ever be held accountable for anything related to this conflict?
Why is Ben Gvir not facing arrest???
Could it be that many western ministers fear that if Netanyahou falls they'll be next on the list?
As an Australian I’m offended by the use of the term Kangaroo Court anywhere but in Australia
Also - James . Israhell NEVER had the right to retaliation to oct 7. They had a duty to END THE OCCUPATION. They were occupying Gaza.
Exactly! That's the point that James keeps missing. Hamas didn't exist when Israel began its illegal occupation. They only exist BECAUSE of it.
Not so
Additionally, they have a duty to end the occupation of the West Bank, remove the illegal settlers, and provide the Palestinians with a contiguous state like any other nation
By forcing a state on them ? Read all the treaties and offers made of a state in last 60 years even. Jordan is their state as well if you read history..@asdfkgkspr284
Israel has a duty to protect their citizens. The Palestinian leaders are the greatest barrier to peace. Look it up
This was a *golden* opportunity for Labour to prove that they believe in justice and they’ve botched it already
Edit: the UK government has now stated it will uphold its duty in accordance with international law
I wish I could say I was disappointed in Stammerer but he has lived down to expectations.

You james obrian was happy to call Jeremy corbyn an antisemite. Shame on you supporting keir starmer. This would never of happened with Jeremy corbyn as prime minister. Shame on you telling people to vote conservative in 2019. We won't forget.
With Corbyn in charge the UK would probably be sending Hamas weapons.
Corbyn was a clueless, ignorant Marxist who had zero charisma.
Corbyn has some fault in this, he was fully aware of the sway the LFI had within the party and failed to call it out, let alone put something in place to reduce their influence. He quietly took all of the smears instead of challenging them openly..which was an absolute failure of leadership on his part.
I'm sad that he didn't become PM too, this country would have been vastly better off had he been in charge, but it's not like he's blameless.
Corbyn was called antisemitic just because he refused to bend the knee to zionism. There was never any antisemitism in Corbyn, a true socialist.
All that appears to have never happened?
I too am confused at O’Brians hypocrisy??
Former Israeli Government Minister Shulamit Aloni confesses that "it's a trick" for Israel to use false anti-Semitism accusations in accordance with its interests.
Great Clarity! Thank you for your perspectives💙
Not being welcome by who?? 😂 The whole 99.99% of people accept it
The US and UK governments don’t recognise the 99.99%
Hardly anyone welcomes it except the usual suspects!
Oh James, you are simply a joy to hear. I love your very honest show. What a refreshing change from the mainstream diarrhoea 😂
Honest? He called the Summer riots the "Farage riots" You're easily impressed by dross.
Fagend Farage spread and repeated the lies concerning the perpetrator of the murders knowing that these were indeed lies... Fartage was a key figure in inciting violence
O’Brien is mainstream. He is also constantly stirring up hate.
@AbbaFan-ib4sf There's a difference between stirring up hate, which is what you're doing now. And simply saying things as they are. Saying what millions of people believe in is not stirring up hate. But if it ruffles your feathers, then maybe you're the problem.
@@mariaserralheiro9196 Claiming the riots were “Farage Riots” which has now been totally discredited. Constantly abusing Nigel Farage, Donald Trump etc and never apologising when he gives false information. Who do you think is the hate stirrer? But it’s ok to abuse certain people who have different political views isn’t it?
He should be arrested and put in prison for the rest of his life, the blood of over 40000 Palestine on his and his cabinet's hands.
O‘Brien hasn’t noticed that we are living in a state of mafia rules-based order.
We should abide by International law, not U.S. based rules that is two-faced. Hypocritical
I'm sick to death of his bad-mouthing of Iran, North Korea, Russia, Syria etc. The US, Israel & the UK far exceed these countries in terms of state sponsored criminality & inhumanity.
Absolutely!
The degree of ignorance displayed in your comment is quite astonishing. Women are literally beaten to death in Iran for not wearing a headscarf.

I wish mainstream media had your passion and honesty in reporting journalism so people would learn the truth. Well done, Mr O'Brien.
Get rid of AIPAC
Send out the Bounty Hunters.
The precedent is there for it.
Argentina wouldn’t hand over Eichmann and it took him being abducted to put him on trial. Ironically, it was the Israeli Mossad who carried it out.
Yes I’m sure they will do well against the Mossad 🤦♂️.
Well said James. Let the legal process play out.
Lindsay graham declared that the icc would be coming after the US next. There should be frayed nerves in that regard for uk leaders. Watching that space
How? US didn't sign up to Rome statute.
The US is run by a Zionist mafia that only believes in international law and the "rules-based order" when it alone can make up the rules and be in control. Like typical gangsters when confronted with lawful indictments that don't suit its supposed interests they issue threats against the lawyers and courts.
Hi James, I too used to think "International rules based order" meant obeying international law. I understand that the US uses this phrase to say "do what we want because we have more and bigger weapons than you do". I prefer to use the phrase "international order arising from compliance with international law" which means what I want to say, rather than a phrase which has been distorted and abused by bullies.
Yeah, the US relies on people using the phrase incorrectly so that people assume they respect international law when what they’re really saying each time they invoke it is we will do what’s in our best interest rather than following international law.
lammy and starmer should be included
Theyve spent teaching us for almost 60 years in achool about how theyll never let this kind of attrocity again only to fail on their own teachings.

@lookbovine I'll leave it there later pal.
James is an important voice for calling out the right wing in this country. I hope he and his followers have learnt from their mistakes, they collapsed to the right wing framing on Corbyn, and used the same smears that he is receiving today.
Problem is it’s not just the right wing. In the US and UK, establishment liberals are just as bad as the conservatives on this issue, the only difference is they make occasional declarations about how “concerned” they are about civilians while continuing to send the arms and funding to keep it going.
The problem is both sides of the establishment spectrum support this behavior. The only difference being one side says they are “concerned” while they send the funds and arms to carry all this out.
@ Facts, Liberals will always enable conservatives
What right wing?
@@vincekerrigan8300 huh?
If Netanyahu is innocent he should be willing to give himself up for arrest and prosecution to have his innocence proven.
You don't prove your innocence; a court proves your guilt.
@garethjones7677 yes you are presumed innocent until proven guilty... but you still have to provide evidence of your innocence. So he should give himself up for prosecution to provide that evidence of innocence.

"Netenyahu cannot accuse Israeli courts of antisemitism." If they're against him he will call them Hamad members and antisemites. Fascism has no attachment to reality and not loyalty.

War criminals
Pierre Poilieve, the guy who wants Canadians to elect him as our next Prime Minister has no problem with war criminals like Netanyahu coming to Canada and hanging out with Pierre and his party members. The fact that Netanyahu and Gallant are convicted war criminals, guilty of the murders of tens of thousands of women and children civillians is not a problem for Pierre Poilieve. He sees no requirement for Canada to live up to its obligations to the International Criminal Court. Obviously he is NOT Prime Minister material. He is not even elected and is already showing he would have no problem ignoring the ICC. Just as he has ignored repeated requests to obtain a security clearance. Canadians and the world deserve much better of a person who wishes to become Prime Minister of Canada.
Yes, bro it's debatable as it is not for any Black country or for any poor country. It's for the west's ally country.
It is 100% welcomed
These are the same people that say to black people, who say they are disproportionately stopped and searched ’if you have done nothing wrong then you don’t need to be worried’
I say to honest Bob if Netanyahu has done nothing wrong, let the process happen and you will have nothing to worry about… ok pumpkin 😉
There is no comparison between the sort of poor representation and railroading black people face vs the absolute elitism of Netanyahu and Galant . They will have the very best defence none of it funded by themselves
No comparison. The arrest warrant required strong evidence and months of deliberation. Stop and search doesn't.
@@maryl8753Precisely. 👍
Completely different. The evidence is clear with what’s going on in Gaza in terms of civilian death and that needs to be investigated. Friends and family I know that are black and have been stopped and searched……..it’s not based on evidence that they’re linked to a crime it’s based on how they look
The “rules based order” the Yankies bat on about isn’t the ICC and ICJ. It’s something completely different. It’s more like “we set the rules for you, and you will happily follow them”.
Cry me a river, Abdul. When Abduls start setting the rules, you must know tyranny has taken over the world.
Yes it is correctly named International Law. When I see RBO I know there has been "influence".
And we'll do as we please and ignore the rules we've set for you.
Exactly! It’s quite literally subverting international law

We're fed up listening to Netanyahu. Governments allowed this ..Gaza needs Justce and Netanyahu will try to talk his way out being charged.
The arrest warrants are not being welcomed by people who have an interest in defending a far-right government that practices apartheid and illegally occupies and now also starves a stateless people. Some of those people might also think that they themselves are complicit in the kind of actions that the ICC is accusing Netanyahu and Gallant of and do not like how the arrest warrants reflect upon their unwavering support of the actions of the Israeli government and of the IFD in Gaza. Most importantly, those people want heads of governments (the ICC deals with individuals, after all, not with States, which is what the ICJ deals with) to be able to do whatever they want, whenever they want without any accountability whatsoever.
Tune out their noise. We all have eyes and ears.
The ICJ is still assessing the case that South Africa brought before it.
