I have to agree. These conversations that minimize the ongoing genocide ultimately lack credibility. Scott and Dan are clearly aware and against this violence on innocent civilians but clearly don't want to talk about it openly. That's why all these conversations have an air of insanity around them. It's like COP28 being run by an oil sheik. "WHAT?! Who's running it?! That can't be right. But yes, yes it is right and pretty much insane. IF you're serious about solving the problem. My conclusion remains in all things, financial people are only responsible when it costs them nothing. Still a big fan of Scotts but I acknowledge he will never risk anything if it costs him serious money. 🤷🏼‍♂️ That's called capitalism at it's worst.

It was disappointing that Mr. Senor didn't even acknowledge the 10K -15K innocent Palestinians who have been killed (some of these are Hamas, which I don't care about). There is no acknowledgment of the illegal settlements in the West Bank. There is no acknowledgment of how Palestinians in the West Bank are subject to military law, but Israeli citizens are subject to customary civilian law. We see children and teenagers detained by the IDF with no charges ever filed. I agree Israel has the right to defend itself, although they have used a sledgehammer when they should be using a scalpel. The key to fighting terrorists is to separate the terrorists from the population. Israel had the moral high ground after Oct 7th, but they are starting to lose it. I understand the Palestinian Authority is corrupt and incompetent, but Israel should not use this as an excuse to impose collective punishment on the Palestinian people. I understand the history is complicated, but at this point, I don't think it matters whose grandpa killed, whose grandpa, who preys in which direction, and what mistakes both sides have made. There are only three potential outcomes for Israel: 1) a two-state solution, 2) absorption of the West Bank and an apartheid state, or 3) Continuous occupation. Two & three are not viable. In the long run, a two-state solution is the only solution for Israel. Netanyahu (who has propped up HAMAS for years) will be finished when the war ends, and Abbas is 80. Hopefully, a new centrist Israel government and Palestinian Authority leadership free from incompetence and corruption can move toward a two-state solution. Israel does not have a long time to make changes; as Professor Galloway points out, young people in the U.S. are turning against the Israeli government. It also gives all the bigots (everywhere) more opportunities to spout anti-semantic language and worse. I would recommend reading/listening to Thomas Friedman to really understand the situation in the conflict. He has been studying and writing about this topic for decades. Professor Galloway should have Mr. Friedman on his show.

Australian here AND I AGREE He's being incredibly biased and its infuriating that Scott isn't pushing back. Mr. Senor's spouting a whole pile of crap that Zionists are always spouting. FIRST - among this is the implication that only Jews are vilified and prejudiced in this fashion. NOBODY is claiming or saying that they have not been treated horribly over recent centuries. That history is well documented. Racial and tribal vilification is something that's gone on since Cain and Abel (as in since the start of civilisation). if you want to see tribal vilification where there is not a White European, Arab or Jew then look at Africa, Asia or the Sub-Continent. SECOND - Other than a groups like Hamas NOBODY is claiming Israel has a right to exist as a Nation. THAT WAS ANSWERED AFTER WORLD WAR 2. What screwed EVERYTHING UP, was the Arab Leagues interference in a 2 state solution back in 1948. THIRD - there is a group that seeks to Ethnically Cleanse the state of Israel and that's the Zionist Settler Movement. To claim Hamas want's to destroy Israel while IGNORING what the Settlers do is so hypocritical.

If Israel was using a sledgehammer, the numbers would be much higher and there would have been no warning to leave the area. The Palestinians (or their reps) rejected a two-state solution every time it has been offered. Israel should absolutely return the land they've taken from the West Bank--most Israelis agree with that. And Netanyahu should go but he refuses to budge. While young people might be turning against the Israeli government, over 80% of them cannot even tell you which river and which sea their signs are referring to or what that means for the Jewish people. Given some of their answers (Caribbean, Atlantic, etc.), I don't think the government should be basing policy on what the kids want. Many have a pretty limited understanding of the history and are not even sure what the Holocaust was. I am a somewhat liberal democrat but this entire situation is eye-opening. I was trying to get people to pay attention to the young women (and men) fighting for their lives in Iran for the past few years. They are being jailed and much worse over not wearing headscarves properly. Not a peep from the social justice crowd. Boko Haram kidnapped hundreds of school girls and there were a few social media signs asking for the girls to be returned (they weren't). No protests. Why? It's as if there is a fear on the left to criticize atrocities committed by certain religious groups. Why are feminists and women's groups not speaking up about the atrocities committed against girls and women by both Hamas AND regular civilian men who came across the border on Oct 7? There are plenty of videos out there if you want evidence. One cannot compare what happened to these girls and women to unintentional deaths of civilians in an impossible war environment. What is Israel supposed to do? If they do nothing, Hamas has promised to commit Oct 7th over and over until Israel is gone.

“Fairly outspoken”

Interesting take from your guest on why people hold Israelis to a different standard and using violent means to get their points across. My theory : Perhaps it has to do with the fact that Israelis have stolen and still steal other people's land and putting them in what can only be described as concentration areas without the right to self determination. As an hypothesis, if your guest would have done this to me or my family, I would not be happy, I most certainly would retaliate in ways that he and his family might find most disagreeable. I will bet all that I own on the following: The carnage that is currently taking place in Gaza will eventually create hundreds of thousands of damaged and very angry young adults that will seek revenge. Israel cannot survive until everyone has equal right to self determination in the sharing the same space in a two state plan.

Great interview, great points made by your guest.

The history of Antisemitism is real and terrible and many Jews have been the victims of anger and frustration that should be more appropriately directed towards the Israeli governing body. However antisemitism should not be confused with legitimate protest against and criticism of those who would support or ignore Israeli sponsored apartheid in Gaza. Thousands of Palestinians had been killed by the Israeli military and settlers prior to the horrific attack by Hamas October 7th that killed over 1000 Israelis. As of March 16, 2024, over 100,000 Palestinians - most women and children - have been either killed, wounded or are missing due to the Israeli military siege of Gaza. More will die from starvation or disease. Hundreds of thousands will always suffer from PTSD. Netanyahu is no fool. He knows that the devastation he has brought to the Palestinians by catering to the most radical members of his government is the greatest recruitment tool that Hamas could ever hope for. Because Hamas is not just a group. It’s an ideology. And all the Israeli government are bringing to the destitute Palestinians is pain and rage. Perfect ingredients for cultivating many…MANY more new Hamas recruits. You cannot kill a violent ideology with even greater violence. I just don’t think Bibi cares. Because for Netanyahu, Ben-Gvir, Smotritch, Galant, etc…It has ALWAYS been about the TERRITORY. Before this is over, thousands more Palestinians may perish (with governments like the U.S. and U.K. complicit yet unburdened with accountability) Netanyahu will claim *victory* and as an old man will eventually die. Leaving an indelible stain on the West and Israel less safe, more isolated, and forced for decades to deal with the global consequences of his actions. So, who is *truly* more detrimental to the perception of Israel? What has a greater impact? Students protesting at a college campus or Bibi himself? No individual Jewish person bears responsibility for the atrocities carried out by the Israeli government unless they are actively spreading falsehoods, supporting or ignoring the devastation in Gaza, and dismissing the value of the lives of the 10s of thousands of innocent Palestinians intentionally being killed.

I’ve watched/read Blue Zones, this interview did nothing for me. Wasn’t pertinent at all.
