James's days on LBC are numbered. I hope he will do the honourable thing and resign, rather than be kicked out. At the moment, he is propping up a radio station of right-wing bigots, as LBC needs James to maintain a facade of journalistic credibility. I also have no doubt that LBC's ratings will completely collapse without James. James staying on at LBC doesn't make sense at all.

I listened to the entire show, and at times, Mr. O’Brien can drive me mad. He poses a question, but if he dislikes a caller’s answer or deems it too risky, he completely disregards it and shuts them down. Recently, a lady called in, offering insightful and valid points with a deep understanding of the subject matter. However, James tore into her. Yet, she turned the tables by revealing her background in foreign service or as an NGO worker, showcasing her expertise. James O’Brien was humbled. In my view, he can be overly arrogant and should consider humbling himself. BRING BACK SANGITA!!!!

Why do people think Netanyahu is capitulating to the darker side of his party? He IS the darker side of his party. What he is doing now is completely in line with everything he has always been saying. He rose to prominence through his opposition to the peace process. All he ever wanted is to drive the Palestinians out and told his family the ‘next war’ they could finish the job. He alway had contempt for American politics all the while knowing exactly how to play them and get what he wants.

He can easily at any time resign and face the consequences of all *his own* actions. Instead, he clings to a power he evidently hasn't the moral capacity of handling by slaughtering innocent people he doesn't even consider human. In what story is he not the villain here, James?

I'm entitled to suggest any pledge from Israel isn't worth the paper it's printed on as well by the way :)

It's not a stretch to say that Netanyahu wants what's under Palestinian feet - i.e the land itself. The Likud Party charter calls for the annexation of Palestine "from the sea to the Jordan" - and he's their leader. He said it himself, recently. He personally called for the extermination of every Gazan with the Amelek speech. He called for Rabin's head - and he got it. Do the math? 🤔

Netanyahu agrees with the religous right wing extremists , it has nothing to do with his own personal legal issues . Netanyahu stood before the UN with a map showing an israeli state where gaza and the west bank for palestinians no longer exists and that is fact

RUTH FROM MATLOCK GET THAT WOMAN A CAPE- FOR SHE IS LEGEND

Job has done me a favr, by failing on his own standards of journalism by failing to see that sangita myska exit came with more holes than some of arguments from plebs he constantly shuts down, rightfully at times. He argued it was about figures but said it, minus the receipts. It took 3 week for lbc to even address the absence. The circus of rumours could have addressed earlier, instead they took 3 weeks to come up with that argument.

So I’ve just discovered James, and as a listener from the US he’s far more critical of the IOF and Israel than really any sources here. Not knowing the background of LBC and who owns it I’ve been enjoying and really appreciate his coverage of what’s unfolding in Gaza.

About Gaza oil, it would have been a conspiracy but few weeks before, Netanyahu had a map at the UN 🇺🇳.

The gentleman is absolutely right. The US is about to deploy eight thousands Navi on Gaza coast, why? And what is that for? For the oil and gas in that costal region.

Is it a mandatory requirement for James O’Brien callers to say “myself” when they mean “me” because they think it makes them sound clever?

James, you are a legend! Most people don't like honesty.

No shift at all from the very beginning. Like now for example, why does the IDF go after another entry point for supplies, this time in Rafah?

Jarad Kushner's comments at Harvard University suggesting that Israel remove civilians from Gaza, which has “very valuable” waterfront property, sparked backlash.
