James O'Brien caller claims 'nobody in Israel wants to see the war end' | LBC
James O'Brien rejects the logic of Melvin in Tel Aviv, who admits that while he wants to see Benjamin Netanyahu replaced as Israel's Prime Minister, he agrees with the attempts to 'eradicate Hamas.'
Melvin stresses that 'fighting a war without innocent civilians' dying is impossible and that 'everybody in Israel' is in support of the war.
The conversation also touches on US Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer's call for Israel to hold elections to replace Netanyahu.
Schumer, who is the highest-ranking Jewish official in the US government, has warned that casualties in Gaza risk turning Israel into a 'pariah' and that Netanyahu has 'lost his way.'

Israel is not becoming a pariah state, it is already a pariah state and has been for the past 75 years.
You're delusional 😂
And Palestine it´s not even a state.
@@zippymufo9765 He's incorrect in that he thinks it's been that way for 75 years. There were times over the last 75 years where Israel was becoming normalized/accepted. He's not incorrect about it becoming a pariah state though. Public opinion and support for Israel was between 20 and 30 points higher in Europe/North America before/on Oct 7 and there have been similar drops in other parts of the world. If that continues for much longer, during the next wave of elections, pro-Israel Western powers will become either anti-Israel Western powers, or at best, neutral to Israel powers. Considering Israel is outnumbered vastly by its neighbours and has few allies in the region, Israel CANNOT afford to lose Western support which is what makes its current course so curious.
@@zippymufo9765You are deluded beyond words.
@@MrBrock314Deeply discerning people always knew. Their lies finally caught up with them.
Only a British Jew could say that the Palestinians don't want a state and need 'reeducation'. Astounding arrogance.
I am Irish and we understand that story from our past
A former head of Israeli Intelligence has recently described Netanyahu's right-wing government as "Jewish Fascism" and Netanyahu's strategy as based on "Messianic Zionism". For example, Netanyahu's Minister for National Security (Itamar Ben-Gvir) is a convicted Zionist terrorist based on his activities as the leader of the far-right party Otzma Yehudi (Jewish Power).
@@thomasjosullivan9179 the irish and the russians are the only two exceptions.
He claimed to be an Israeli. I'm not Jewish, but I did live in Tel Aviv for a while with my Israeli Jewish girlfriend. Whenever she spoke (perfect) English, everyone assumed (even Israelis and Americans) that she was American. In fact, on more than one occasion, we'd be overheard talking in a shop, and when we were buying things, I'd attempt to converse in broken Hebrew, whilst the cashier would respond in Hebrew, and then turn to my girlfriend and attempt to talk to her in broken English. Mind you, to be fair, I doubt many Israelis would learn English with an accent like his!
It's the colonialism, it go's to their heads 😮
The caller says Palestinians need a generation to be “reeducated”. Spoken like a true colonialist, with a British accent and all. Given what we’ve repeatedly heard from Israeli leaders and what we’ve seen every day, it is callers such as this individual who requires re-education.

There is no moderate in israel only right, far right and extreme right
Mind Begs the Question: - If Criticism of Israel/Zionists - Is Criticism of all Jews/Anti-Semitic - Crimes of Israel/Zionists - Crimes of all Jews?
The reality is that the problem is far deeper than Netanyahu. Look at the opinion polls in Israel not on Bibi but on the conduct of the Gaza war crimes. Look at the news and comment broadcasts from Israel read the interviews in the media with so called Israeli liberals. The UK media strategy of after five months concluding the problem lies with one individual is an endeavour to wash their own hands as accessories.
Precisely.
Watching Israeli channels and reading Israeli newspapers as an Hebrew speaker is a soul crushing experience. See how Israeli politicians come across as genocidal maniac when they speak in English? They are a millions times worse in Hebrew.
There is no comparison between Hamas and Netanyahu, I agree. Netanyahu has FAR more blood on his hands.
💯
Yes
Disagree Hamas are worse they engineered this war 100%
and what makes you think that?
@@talmid Current events. Seen any clips or pictures from Gaza as of late?
Clearly there is more extremism in Israel. We can see the conduct of their soldiers in Gaza and we can hear common man on Tel Aviv street.
At least some of this though is due to the leadership in Isreal from people such as Netanyahu and his fellow travellers. In such horrendous times the need for leadership is at it's greatest and Isreal is stuck with the very worst of the right wing.
@@gazza595true up to a point. However, Israeli society has been conditioned over decades to view Palestinians in a way that makes their horrendous treatment in Gaza acceptable and even desirable to most Israelis.
@@gazza595 That guy from Tel Aviv was literally quoting Eylon Levy about the civilian thing. He's fully bought his own country's propaganda. There is a way to execute a war with DRAMATICALLY less civilian deaths and he's ignoring that option.

@@Panzerfaustchen Nah, his family were probably still in his homeland of Russia/Poland. Btw, have you ever read the Balfour declaration? It doesn't mention a jewish state, it only mentions Palestine (twice) and it says nothing in it is to affect the rights of any "non-jews" living in Palestine....
@@Panzerfaustchen: So the British stole, sorry - liberated the land from the Turks, and gave it to European colonists. During the same time period, India, parts of Africa, Malaysia, and etc. were still ruled by the British.
Why there are so many Palis in Europe and US?
@@waltermesser9737 Why are there so many jews?
James, the caller is right about Israelis. Doesn't matter about their internal politics. They want Palestinians gone.
They want the Palestinian Islamic jihadists gone. Not the Palestinians who can live in peace. Just those who don't accept a Jewish state in the land.
How they can say stuff like "reeducation" without a hint of colonialist self awareness is wild.
No they do not! They are about half liberal and half evil conservatives just like in Britain.
they want all of the land for themselves, have done for decades, have done since they arrived there.
@@forestsunset9617 There's a reason for the IDF steadily forcing so many Palestinians in Gaza to the South and up to the Egyptian border. There's a very clear strategy to attempt to force them out of Gaza. That's one reason that Egypt tries to prevent mass crossings. Once Palestinians are over the border they would NEVER get back.

It's like the school bully acting the victim after 3 years of picking on a kid. Victim gets one small punch back and the bully puts the kid in hospital, then claims he is the victim and we should support him without question.
Totally agree. I have not heard much from Hamas but in the hundreds of times I have heard Netanyahu, he has lied to me virtually every time.
Exactly, the only way I took that was that it was more of an insult to Hamas than to Neyanyahu to be group together. Hamas is the consequence of what Israel had been doing, that's why Israel was formed in 1948 but Hamas was created (with the help of Israel) some 40 years after.

Not a valid comparison though - the IRA weren't fighting for destruction of the UK nor for the mass killing of other Christians globally - Hamas is wanting every jew dead and israel destroyed and is part of a far bigger militant islamic issue we are facing globally.@@christianmccann9400
James has difficulty recognizing that a significant amount of Israelis society is extreme and support continuation of slaughter in Gaza. The reluctance to understand is connected it seems to an honest effort to combat anti-semitism, but it misses that Netanyahu isn’t the issue, it’s the whole system.
He really does, a lot of liberal Zionists do. they want to pretend that it is one man, Natanyahu. That if he is replaced, then Israel will magically become a peace loving and tolerant society instead of a radicalised, far right ultra nationalist population of extremists
💯
So many people are like that, I don’t understand where such empathy comes from, we don’t see the hate for jews being a huge thing in recent years, and on the face of what is happening now, at least the intelligent, informed people should have been awakened by now 🙄
100% correct
Yeah well the fact that O'Brien calls Jeremy Corbyn an anti-semite without any evidence. Is corporate media working hand in hand with the Israeli lobby, the ultra wealthy and the military industrial complex to destroy a man who genuinely wanted peace in the middle East and to help all the people involved instead of making the mega wealthy, slightly wealthier. It's a shame and the fact that O'Brien doesn't see this is why his country voted for Boris f'ing Johnson is due to willful ignorance that allows him to keep his LBC show. The system works

Convenient how none of the 4 barriers to peace are settler colonialism and apartheid that have ALWAYS existed since the founding of the state of Israel. It's how the state was created and continues to be how the state operates. THAT is what has to be fixed/stopped in order for peace to be forged.

Inside job Oct 7. Everything points to it. Security teams along the border had their guns taken by the IDF on September 1, On September 10, local communuty councils asked should they postpone events and were told to go ahead by the IDF. The venue for the music festival was switched at short notice from a venue away from the border without explanation. It took 8 hours for the IDF to respond. They had Blackhawk helicopters within a five minute flight of the 15 breaches in the fenceline and it took 7 hours before the first one was in the air. That chopper hit 70 vehicles without any intelligence about who was in the cars. IDF tanks hit kibbutz buildings with high exlposive rounds, killing hostages and Hamas. Netanyahu knew this was going to happen. He planned it.

A poll conducted by an Israeli university in November had 90% of Israelis saying the level of force being applied in this war was just right or not enough.
The Israeli caller would be considered moderate in Israel and he is talking of sweeping reeducation camps for the indigenous people of so the settlers can peacefully steal their homes and land
You don’t choose foreign governments like you’re shopping at Tesco. The US never learn
Well done James, you're an intelligent person and you also look at the wider picture. Your caller, as many isrealis do, is blindly focusing at just one aspect: hamas, hamasi, Ghamas, Hamass, Hamasssss. How comforting for them that is. No need for morality, ethics; no need for conscience.
21st century colonisation, live-streamed
this guy is Netanyahu with a British accent , everything he said was exactly out of the book of Netanyahu's talking points. and he disapprove of him , lol how delusional can one be?
Many people dont know that rejection of a two state solution is in Likud's party charter. So Hamas & Likud have similar view.
But at this late stage, a 2 state solution can’t work
@@lynnevenables7193 you are naive if you think that it could even work before. Israel's right to exist is only by denying palestine to exist. It is in Israel's interest to keep West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza under military occupation, because if it doesn't, it will destroy its jewish majority demography.
The world has known this for years and now are the American lawmakers that there is no difference between Netanyahu and HAMAS. Now, let the new world order begin for peace's sake 🥵.
Occupiers should leave
"Re education" wow
People forget that Britain caused this mess in the first place.
No we didn't forget at all
Britain behaved as if it owned Palestine . It sold it off but by bit to the Jewish Kibbutz movement There were few Jews there in 1919.. By the 1948 there where enough Jews to form an army.
I'd say England if I were being honest. I doubt very much Scotland and Wales had any say in the matter.
A little off topic, however.. Apparently the mayor of London has given away London to his Islamic mates. Isn't that a bit like Balfour giving away Palestine to his Jewish mates except that not SO many people got killed in theprocess?
Britain had an important role, but let’s not completely let Israel off.
That Israel sounds incredibly British
An Israeli with a perfect British accent… speaking on behalf of all Palestinians…😂
It just sounds like let's blame Netanyahu now this has been going on for 75 years it's not just Netanyahu it's a whole belief system in israeli zionists society
I think more and more, Israelis, even purportedly level headed ones like this caller, will find themselves isolated from the world. The mass killing of civilians is not acceptable, period, despite whatever perceived threat there is. The fact that he cannot put a number on how many murdered civilians is acceptable, makes his political and moral position reprehensible to a majority of the rest of the world.
