Censoring Sangita, shame on you.

@@kenb9493 really? You need help if you really think this. If on the other hand it’s the usual bs deflection nonsense, then you’ll have to try a little harder.
Again and again "Do you condemn Hamas?" while none of the talking heads asks "Do you condemn Israel"...What a farce. ..

Bring back Sangita. Lbc giving in to Israelis is disgraceful.

Agreed. Matt Frei is deeply steeped in hasbara that he doesn't understand that the protests are anti-gen, anti-zi ideology, anti-war, anti-support billions of $ and weapons. It is NOT anti-Is-.
They are now scared to lose their jobs. So, they are all now trying to appease Israel to please their paymasters.
I believe LBC needs a true history lesson.
Much love to all Palestinians from Brazil 🇧🇷 ❤❤❤❤❤❤

We’re human beings, that’s why we protest. Like what the heck kind of question is this?
There would be something seriously wrong ( actually there is something seriously wrong, but that’s another story) if no-one was protesting this.
Exactly
We must criticise Israel
Trust me when i say many are ok with innocent human bodies piling up. I have spoken to many and they just dont care about all the children unalived. I used to always go to a church cafe here in the UK and the lady was annoyed by palistinian protesters and saying how the children had brought it on themselves. Totally crazy as that is literally a justification for hummus
Can you stop referring to it as a war. I think it's been established it's not.
interesting. russia says the same thing about the ukraine invasion. interesting that both russia and palestine are trying to reframe wars as something else, and for similar reasons: to justify the forcible annexation/dissolution of a sovereign nation.
It is a war against terrorism ie Hamas are the terrorists. Have you just woke up from a coma.
It is and it’s raging all over the Middle East in at least 25 countries and has done, in some cases (Afghanistan, for over 40 years but nobody wants to talk about those conflicts, the millions of deaths and executions, the many millions of refugees and the many millions of Moslems fleeing Moslem brutalities, in their Moslem homelands. No we must never mention them because it”they have no antisemitic value. I’ll post you a list of them if it would help…………. No, your mind is made up, you don’t want to be confused with mere facts. Antisemitic propaganda is much tastier to closed minds.
How can you have a two-state solution when Israel has stolen most of their lands especially in the west bank?! Do you guys really think Israel will give it up or will stop stealing land?!
IT never did. IT's the Palis stealing land with the help of the EU.
The actual boarders have rarely actually been the issue when it actually comes to the negotiating table, they're mostly resolved through land swaps. the actual sticking points seem to be Israel accepting the right of return for palestinian refugees (those that lived inside the current boarders of israel) even symbolically, And demilitarization on the palesinian side
Bring Sangita back. Fascists.

Why is this a debate. It’s plainly obvious why. Just tell the truth lbs, stop pandering to the status quo and trying to make out this is ‘complicated’. Violent occupation is violent occupation and the history of it is well documented.
And never unthinkingly debate on their terms. Get comfortable saying things the left has somehow allowed to be considered taboo. No, Israel. You don’t have a right to exist. USSR didn’t. Czechoslovakia didn’t. (Etc…) no state has a right to exist. And no, Israel. You have no right to defend yourself. Illegal occupiers don’t.
Exactly!

A war is when 2 or more armies fight each other. Please tell me how many Palestinian fighter jets, tanks, helicopters, battleships have the IDF destroyed???
Absolutely
ISRAEL FIGHTS TERRORISTS , not a regular war.
No ceasefire
Great point
Well said, that's exactly why it annoyes me when they call it a war .
China and Russia has not even come close to this brutality toward innocent civilians by Israel.
Not been watching much news lately then.. the difference is Russia and China hide their killings of civilians very well.
USA n israel is worst than china and russia
Completely uninformed then about what Russia has done and continues to do to to innocent Ukrainian citizens.
@@accesscrimeano. You are lying There is no comparison.
Why even bring in China or Russia into the mix? Last time i checked both these nations are being scrutinized for their wrong doings. So why do people protest, well for a change of our policy towards other nations. Since at the very least publicly the potential protesters and their governments are mostly in a agreement when it comes to ex. Russia, there's no reason for a protest... It's not as if we send Russia weapons, give them diplomatic support or even let them sing in Eurovision. The same can't be said about our policy when it comes to IL/Pale- Even if the media for the most part seem to ignore those bits I'd argue that the protestors have been very clear what they are protesting for...
Free Palestine….we will not forgive or forget.
Quoting Retribution, established policy of Israel. What are you trying to stop again?
Don't don't don't you cry, Palestine is a lie ❤
I want Palestine to be free; however, we have to learn to forgive, that’s the only way we will achieve peace.

why is it not a war? Isnt hamas representing the palestinian state? Fight between two states = war?
Just a scuffle really
@jungleboy1 hamas is not a recognised military force, and palestine is not a UN recognised state. A resistance force fighting an occupying power is not a war.

In 2018 Israeli soldiers shot over 6,000 Palestinians. In many cases they were shot with illegal expanding ammunition. So, did the present iteration of this problem begin on 7th October 2023 (1,200 casualties) or March/Dec 2018 (6,000 casualties) Discus ??
Suella Braverman set up Rwanda for Israel to send the Palestinians there, wake up
Brilliant point. The myth that the 'war' began on October 7th 2023 is one of the most pernicious.

@@nattycooper6622 zio bot spotted

Why has Matt Frei not left LBC, I thought he had more integrity?
FFS. We're still doing the "Do you condemn Hamas?" dance, too? Does Matt feel he has to in order to keep his job, after what happened to Sangita? Either way, this video ended as ridiculously as it began and I'll have trouble taking Matt seriously going forward. All of this is not to even touch on his BS "higher standard" core argument, which, to me, smacks of racial bias.
Everyone working at LBC seems to have been warned not to anger Tel Aviv.
So tired of that dumb question. We dont arm or support Russia ir China, so it would be abit pointless protesting our government regarding thier crimes. How is that so hard to understand?
This. I feel like I'm losing my mind!
This is not a war. It's a long drawn out prison riot with a giant overreaction by the crazed prison guards/criminal warden.
So when do we talk about every college in Gaza being turned to rubble because Hamas was becoming to intelligent for Israelis.
"It's not illegal if Israel does it!"
Just like our Tories declaring Rwanda is "safe"
How can an apatheid Israel government be democratic at the same time? What a contradiction? Matt Frei seriously destroyed the interviewer's questions.
Language is important. You call Palestians cruel brutal and terrorists and your own forces as human and people living according to the standards of a civilized country. Keep on doing it and people start beleving it.
Perhaps Hamas has shown us who Isreal really are and not what Isreal wants us to think they are?
Because it is obviously out of control and we feel more culpable, but impotent to stop it. So people are protesting as the only means to show their dissatisfaction.
And yet the majority of israelis still support Netanyahu
One of the many differences is that we don't have Conservative/Labour "Friends of North Korea" and other North Korean lobby groups influencing our elected officials. As a result our MPs agree with the majority opinion on North Korea. The same can't be said for Israel. Our MPs continue to defend the killing of thousands of innocents because they know if they don't they'll be smeared as "antisemitic" by these groups and by the Israel-friendly press in this country. I found Matt's opening remarks to be very odd. If he gave what he was saying there even the slightest thought he'd see the above and many other profound differences that are leading people around the world to protest against the slaughter of innocent people in Gaza.
I mean protests are generally very easy to explain. They are complaining about something, usually policy or conditions, in this case it's the government, school or company policy on this specific subject. Why would someone protest if there was no policy which needed to change? Russia, China, North Korea... all of these countries are already, at least in the eyes of the general public, being scrutinized for their faults and wrongs... so ofc. there won't be any protests against these things. Perhaps there could be solidarity marches for the people who suffer, but protests?
@@magnuscarlsson9969 no this guy know where his bread is buttered on, he would be fired if he spoke the truth on radio
Out of curiousity why, in your opinion, was there not a similar amount of protests when America delayed it's approval of military aid to Ukraine?
Where is that lady Sangita? I’m from the 🇺🇸 and I appreciate how she held her guests accountable by giving them the tough questions that most journalists won’t ask? Is that why LBC jettisoned her?
You can't fix one outrage with another outrage.
Especially not with a far greater outage.
Netanyahu should have been put in jail along time ago.

I imagine Sangita would have some interesting insight
Saying that Israel is less democratic for Palestinians is a very polite way to say apartheid.
Can you discuss why journalists who do their job like Sangita are sacked for exposing Israel by simply questioning their officials?
Interesting..what would Sangita say about this?
Bring back Sangita Myska! Disgraceful removal.
Bring back Sangita..
Why sacking Sangita simply for asking questions you dont like isrealis to be asked????
The premise of this discussion says everything about Frei's intention, which is to downplay the horrors perpetrated by Israel. Frei is concerned about the feelings of £ewish students while Israel is blasting the limbs off Palestinian children. We do need Sangita to give some credibility to this station.

It amazes me with modern technology we dont know exactly how much death and destruction gaza has suffered. No agreement on how many dead and injured. No exact figures on how many buildings destroyed - ive seen figures ranging from 35% to 75%. All seems to benefit israel who constantly delight in the fog of war.
No independent journalists in Gaza, no way to know how many are buried under the rubble because aid workers and foreign help is tightly controlled by Israel (and killed indiscriminately when they do get in). This is exactly their sinister plan, to obscure the massacre and to claim that any figures out of Gaza can't be trusted. Absolutely disgusting, and the media is 100% complicit in giving a voice to the Israeli lies.
It takes great effort to keep you ignorant. MSM works hard to keep you that way
Are they actually confused about why people care?
European values 😂😂😂😂 Gaza has imploded that myth.
Events of past few months have left little doubt that there are two different factions of Zayo NOT-Z: Those who are denying the Palestinian Hollowcost and those who are insisting to carry on with a Palestinian Hollowcost *Rest* *in* *Power* *Aaron* *Bushnell* I will never forget you and your last words of " *Free* *Palestine* "
Bring sangita back and apologize to her for yout cowardly stance
How long will we walk around the white colonial settler rule. LBC where is Sangita. The truth about humanity and Zionism.
Sangita.

It is amazing how anyone can still give the fairytale Atrocities, that dud not happen. But are still quoted on media shows. ❤ Bless the real victims💐
Sangita
Is this host for real? How do you compare what is going in Gaza to North Korea or any other country in modern world?
It is interesting to hear how horrible and muntrous people tend to describe the 7th of october attack, but then dont use the exact same words or worse to describe what has been the objectively worse attack israel launched against palestinians, or the 70+ years prior of abuses. Its like people have this need to still portrait hamas attack as worse, when israel has been the one objectively worse FOR DECADES.
Because LBC is so biased and Ashley Tabor is purging LBC of all pro Palestinian voices. Bring back Sangita.
Why do people keep forgetting the fact that we are not standing shoulder to shoulder with the Chinese or Russians or funding them and giving them weapons. We're not doing that for hamas either so I find it bizarre when guests are asked why we don't have the same protests against these other actors. If we were funding them we would protest against that too!
"Oh No!. Not Eurovision!!.." 😒😒😒
Whether it likes it or not Israel will eventually have no choice but to agree to a two state solution and de-radicalise its institutions and society or it will crumble in its moral and financial isolation. Its government has long since passed any threshold of justified self defence and the true horrific realisation of that is as impending as it unstoppable.
Suella Braverman set up Rwanda for Israel to send the Palestinians there, wake up
So soooooo close to making it through an entire interview without the white guy asking the brown guy if he condemns Hamas. 😮💨
I am looking for Sangita, where is she?
...and this is why it will never be forgiven or forgotten.
Netanyahu bites the hand that feeds at his own risk.
you ask the most redundant questions.. Sangita would never ask such an obvious rhetorical question
What is the difference if the support explicit or implicit if the results are the same?!
The answer to the question is, we don't prop up China or any of those other gov. We don't hand them aid money and arms for free.
So much suffering over decades to maintain a privileged life for a privileged group.
The "because Trump might win" is a bizarre argument. If you followed that logic through, no one would do anything other than maintain the status quo until we all stagnate to a stop.
This is not war. This is a horror show. This is the torture and extermination of caged defenceless human by brutal cruel monsters. The world is witnessing this!
"The issue is what they have been silent about NOT what they have been vocal about" Excellent way to slap back that ridiculous " do you condemn Oct 7" - OF COURSE WE DO YOU RUDE CONDESCENDING MAN FOR EVEN ASKING. Do you codemn the killing of thousands of innocent women and children? Do you?
There will be a lot of paid trolls on this video. Do not engage. Call them out for what they are and then ignore them.
Where is Sangita!?! All these shrills for Israel make me sick
The situation is an enormous stain on so-called Western Values
Stop saying Israel is a democracy. They have always been apartheid State.
